BY RALPH SMITH.

WASHINGTON. Oct. 27.-That the
wholesalers profit in war times, of
least on non-perishable foods. should
be governed by. the price he actually
pays for the goods he sells, and not
by prevailing market conditions, is the
principle established by the food ad-
ministration in special regulations which
will be put into effect November l with
respect to a large number of commodi-
ties. The rule is one of a large number
which are now being completed for the
guidance of the food dealers who will
next week be placed under license by
the food administration.
1t provides that no dealer in certain
specified commodities shall sell "at
more than a reasonable advance over
the actual purchase price of the partic-
ular goods sold. without regard to the
market or replacement value at the
time of such sale"
The commodities covered by the rule
include beef. pork and mutton, syrups
and molasses, cleaned rice and rice
flour oleomargerine. lard and lard sub
stitutes. cleo oil. cooking fats condensed
milk and various canned goods, and
dried fruits.

HOOVER ASKS COUNTRY
TO CONSERVE ITS FOOD
Prices Can't Be Reduced Un-
less People Eat Less,
He Says

WASHINGTON. Oct. 27.-"The gov
eminent of the United States is asking
every citizen of the country to eat less
beef, pork, pork products, wheat, but
ter and sugar, and to waste no food
stuffs, as an act of common defense"
This is the explanation given today
by Herbert Hoover, food Administered tor.
of the meaning of national food pledge
week, which begins tomorrow and con-
tinues until November 4. Half mill
lion canvassers are ready for the cam
paign to induce at least thirteen million
Of the country's twenty-five million
housewives to sign the pledge to con-
serve food during the war
Owing to the large failure of the har-
vest in France and Italy, and the In
ability to send the worlds shipping to
remote markets." said Mr.. Hoover. I'VE
have thrust upon us a larger duty in
providing foodstuffs for them than we
are capable of executing, unless We can
reduce the consumption of these food
stuffs in the United States. If we cam
not secure this reduction in consump-
ton, we cannot maintain them con-
stantly in the war II we fail. the
western line will move 20 the Atlantic
seaboard.
Furthermore, the problem of anchor
ating the prices to the American con-
sumner is entirely involved in our ability
to supply the allied needs and still leave
us a sufficiency at home. If we ac-
cept the alternative of maintaining the
allies in the war from our supplies,
without savings, we shall have short
ages in the United States that make
any hope of price control absolutely fu-
tile.
1T is, therefore, in the interest of
every American man, woman and child
in the United States that we should
accomplish these ends-first, in his per-
sonal defense and protection, and, Sec
ond, in the interests Of his pocket
book.
Beyond all this, and greater than
this, is the question of common human
ity. There are now millions of women
and children in Europe solely dependent
upon us for foodstuffs, and if We had
no other reason it should appeal to ev-
cry individual in the United States to
sacrifice something in the name of CONF
mon humanity.
1--WE are endeavoring to direct these
problems with all the intelligence that
we can summon in the United States
We are asking every home, every hotel
and every trade to carry out our direc-
tions for the conservation of foodstuffs
and the elimination of waste. The wom-
en- of the United States are making
magnificent endeavor in this prime ma
tional service. and we have a just right
to appeal to every man that he should
support them in this work. We ask a
pledge from every home and every pub
lie eating place, and we ask the men
and women of America to maintain tAe
proper attitude to all who refuse to
fall in with this request"

Sunday - Says UnbeIief

Mugs and PretzeIS

LOS ANGELES, Oct. 27.-That the
flag may wave without a stain until
the iron cross is sunk fathoms i'll helT
was the prayer offered by Rev. Billy"
Sunday, evangelist, for use today, pro-
claimed by President Wilson day Of
prayer The prayer follows:
Almighty God, our Heavenly Father,
we pray Thee that the war may con
tinue until Prussian militarism is swept
off the face of the earth until the
snake OF autocracy is crushed forever,
until democracy is unshackled, until
justice has a fair show. until the virtue
of woman is sure of protection, until
little children no longer 20 hungry,
until the kaiser and his cohorts have
unpacked their trunks on st. Helena S
barren rocks.
And in the meantime give each one
of us the fighting spirit that led the
crusaders to victory. If we do not fight
with our hands i'm the trenches. help us
to fight with sacrificing hearts at home.
Thou knowest Lord, we have not
entered this bloody war because of
avarice and because we do not Covet
Germanys lands. We have drawn the
sword to defend our country against the
most infamous. blood-thirsty horde of
human harpies that ever dlsgraced the
earth. They respect neither law nor
religion; nothing is sacred as it stands
in their path
30 Lord. bless the president; give him
wisdom; bless all the councils of state
and war. Keep us a united nation in
fact and spirit. Bless the army and
navy. Many of our brave boys already
sleep somewhere in France, or beneath
the sea. Bring victory to our cause,
because we know it is your cause. We
have joined hands and hopes and hearts
with our noble allies that this world
may be a safe place in which to live.
Thou knowest, Lord that the tidal
wave of sneering unbelief that has
blighted the faith of millions and de-
MED that Jesus is Thine only begotten
son. came from the beer mugs of that
pretzel crowd across the esa. This, to-
gether with the deluge of blood, is
enough to make hell laugh and heaven
weep.
Lord Thou hast never forsaken our
flag. IT waves without a stain. May 1t
lead every step of the way until the
iron cross is sunk fathoms in hell and
the world rests once more bathed in the
radiance of the cross of Christ.

Christ, Thy Son, our Saviour. Amen. "
