DORSETT TELLS
BUREAUS AIMS
Chief of Market Division
Talks About the Plans to
Extend Its Usefulness


E. b. Dorsett. director of the new
State Bureau of Markets, in outlin'
ing his plans says:
Congress is wrestling with thC
problem of food control. With ar
economic system of food distribu'
ton inaugurated, control would not
be necessary. Under present systems
too much waste. time and expense
is incurred in getting food products
from the farm to the ultimate con-
sumer. Any act of Congress thai
merely fixes minimum price will
not remedy this condition. What is
most needed is a system of market
ing that shall keep the stream oil
food products flowing toward the
city markets at an even rate. There
is vast difference between hoard
ing for profit and storing for time
of need With a system of marketing
that involves warehouses and places
of storage, food products could he
safely kept until needed, thereby
preventing the speculation that we
see on every hand to-day. Once the
food products have left the farm
they become the prey Of food sharks
and gamblers, but If kept on the
farm or by an organization of farm
ers, gambling and speculation would
in a large degree, be prohibited.
THE Bureau of Markets will at
tempt to inaugurate a system that
will consider some of these import
ant factors in marketing food prod
ucts. 1t is the purpose of the bureau
to get in close touch with market
centers and insofar as possible,
regulate the stream of food products
in such a way that the stream VIII
not be clogged at its mouth. we nave
been promised the support OF the
big transportation companies and eN-
pect to get some helpful assistance
from them by way of keeping the
bureau informed as to the movement
of farm crops.
I'VE hope to be able, within the
next few weeks or months at the
most, to give information to any
shipper that shall be a guide to him
as to the best time and place OF ship
ment. The bureau might properly be
called a bureau of information, be-
cause that will be its chief aim Tor
the present. We expect to keep in
close touch with crop and market
COndltlOnS ana be dblS " 'Sh -
farmer where and when to ship, ana
the distributor where to buy. 1t Is
not the purpose of the bureau to an
tagonize any interest, but simply TO
render such assistance as it may be
able at such times and in places as
seem advisable.
I'VE will greatly appreciate any
assistance that may be rendered,
either by the producer or the dis
tributor. to the end that all food
products may reach the consumer
with the least possible expense ana
within the shortest possible time.

RHEUMATISM is A
WEATHER PROPHET
More Prevalent Than for Many Years
Sudden Changes of Tempera-
tuFe an Immediate Cause

When rheumatism fastens on an
individual. he generally knows what
the trouble is. The Inflammation,
soreness. pain. swelling joints and
backache with loss of appetite,
plainly indicate rheumatism. Physi-
clans differ as to the disease, but all
agree that rheumatism is caused by
poison getting into the system. Cold
and moisture, with sudden changes
of temperature, cause aggravated
attacks and intense suffering. The
first twinge of pain or stiffness of
muscles demands quick action.
Don't suffer a minute: get from
II. C. Kennedy or any druggist a bot
tie of Rheuma. It's a great special
lists prescription which gives relief
in all forms of rheumatism. 1t brings
swollen joints down to normal, re-
duces the pain, and restores the
whole system without the least in
jury to the heart. This two weeks
treatment is inexpensive and your
money will be returned if you do
not get the joyful relief anticipated.
