People.

Washington.-The soaring cost OF
foodstuffs throughout the country is
engaging the attention of virtually ev.

remote relation to the problem.
President Wilson and the cabinet
are investigating the situation from
many angles, its cause and possible
remedies. Views held by some of the
conferees were that the record prices
were intertwined with the general car
shortage and congestion on transpor-
tation lines, and indirectly affected
the German submarine warfare which
has resulted in vast accumulations of
freight and resultant car congestion at
eastern seaports.
Department Of justice agents are
making a careful investigation Of
prices to determine II there was an
actual shortage Of foodstuffs at large
cities where rioting has occurred. AZ
torney-General Gregory announces
that measures which may be Of "con.
siderable avail toward lettering the

This drug dries at once and simply
