eRocERs TO CONSERVE.
Will Cooperate With U. S. For Eiini'
nation Of All Waste.

Washington, July 3.-The National
Wholesale Grocers Association has en-
listed in Herbert G. Hooyer's food
conservation army.
Thru a war service council appoint

cooperating with the government IN
maturing plans for elimination OF
waste in the handling of foodstuffs and
in other plans for conservation.
Food administration, in the opinion
of the wholesale grocers, it was dis
closed today. does not mean either re-
striction or arrangement Of present in
dustrial conditions, but will merely en-
tail REIMBURSEMENT.
A few of the ways in which the
wholesale grocers have resolved to CO.
operate in war work and food conser-
walton are as follows:
To take a census Of employees o.
military age and plan in advance, so
far as possible. for their replacement
by men not Of military age, or by wom-
en-. in the event that the men are
called to the service OF the nation.
To help conserve the supply OF tin
plate by packing coffee and other 1000
products in containers other than tins
where tin is not absolutely necessary.
To economic in men and trucking
equipment, arranging with customers
to accept sidewalk deliveries so that
more deliveries per day per truck may
be effected.
Recommend in the public Interest
that the practice Of the consumer OF
buying in excessive quantities 1of
boarding purposes be discouraged.
Recommend discontinuance OF the
q. ...st.;:se GO placing coupons or giving
premiums with food products, for, as
such premiums are ultimately paid ioi
by the consumer, it u obvious that m
creased prices are charged which
would not be necessary II this practice
was discontinued

butter for those who follow Eglin quo
tations throughout the country.
Qusstions Good Faith.
1T is a question whether the Elgin
board is a real and bona fide market
for the purchase and sale of butter
LAS shown by the minutes of the
twenty-four meetings of the Elgin
board from Jan. to June 16, 1917, an
average of four traders made an av-
erage of less than two trades week
affecting an average Of fifty-one tubs
ofe butter sold each week. AS against
these fifty one tubs a week handled on
the board at Elgin it appears that dur
ing the same period $4,000 tubs have
beenehandled each week in Chicago.
TT has been the practice of cold stor-
age warehouse companies to lend large
amounts of money on perishable food
products that go into their cold storage
warehouses. This practice leads to
speculation by others than legitimate
dealers and tends to increase the cost
to the consumer. 1t is the opinion OF
grand jury that sonic legislation should
be passed prohibiting this practice and
prohibiting the warehouses from bor-
rowing money on their own warehouse
receipts on which they themselves al
ready have made loans.
Jolt For Retailers.
MANY retail dealers in selling food
products to the consumer often con-
tinue to charge high prices after whole
sale prices have dropped. thereby OBJ
tanning illegitimate and unfair profits.
1t is our opinion that some method oil
the wholesale price of food
products should be instituted. SO the
housewife may be informed Of the value
of foods and will know when she is be-
ing charged extortionate prices out of
line with the price the retailer is pay
ing the wholesaler
Some wholesalers and jobhers in
food products urge retailers to advance
prices to the consumer-advising them
to put on higher prices. which gives
the wholesaler a basis for charging
higher prices to the retailer"
