Boiling Water
Injuries Clothes

Washing clothes in boiling water
week after week injuries them as
much as the hardest daily wear. It
hurts the hands, too. So many
women have always thought boiling
essential. But it really is entirely
unnecessary.
If you wash clothes with Fels-Naptha
you may use cool or luke-warm
water, get perfect results, and save
the wear and tear on clothes. You'll
also avoid the hard rubbing which
does so much to wear holes in
garments after boiling water has
weakened them.
For cool, comfortable wssh-day this
summer, use Fels-Naptha soap with
cool or luke-warm water. You will
save time, you will save effort, you
viii save the clothes for longer wear,
And that's a big saving in these days
Of increasing prices.

fair return on this, and as has been stated, the larger portion of the
profits earned has been used to finance huge stocks of goods and
to provide additions and improvements made necessary by the
enormous demands of our army and navy and the Allies.
Five Mile Beach weekly journal., 1918-07-12

The Federal Trade Commission in its recent report on war profits,
stated that the five large meat packers have been profteering and
that they have a monopoly of the market.
These conclusions, if fair and just are matters of serious concern
not only to those engaged in the meat packing business but to
every other citizen OF our country.
The figures given on profits are misleading and the statement that
the packers have a monopoly is unsupported by the facts
The packers mentioned in the report stand ready to prove their
profits reasonable and necessary.
The meat business is one of the largest American industries. Any
citizen who would famniarize himself with its details must be
prepared for large totals.
The report states that the aggregate profits of four large packers
we're $14OO O0 900 for the three war years.
This sum is compared with $4,000 600 as the average annual
profit for the three years before the war, making it appear that the
war profit was $121 600, 900 greater than the pre-war profit
This compares a three-year profit with a one-year proht-a
manifestly unfair method of comparison. II IS not only misleading,
but the Federal Trade Commission apparently has made a mistake
in the figures themselves.
The aggregate three-year profit of S%14ooooooo was earned on sales
OF over four and a haT 57hon utufarsr fmesms- about three Genus
N each dollar of sales-or a mere fraction Of a cent per pound
of product
Packers profits are a negligible factor in prices of live stock and
meats. No other large business is conducted upon such small
margins of profit
Furthermore-and this is very important-only a small portion
of this profit has been paid in dividends. The balance has been
mt back into the businesses. 1t had to be, a S you realize when
consider the problems the packers have had to solve-and solve
quickly-during these war years.
To conduct this business in war times, with higher costs and the
necessity of paying two or three times the former prices Q i've
stock. has required the use Of two or three times the ordinary
amount Of working capital The additional profit makes only a
Five Mile Beach weekly journal., 1918-07-12

of the statement that the large packers have a monopoly. The
Commissions own report shows the large number and importance
of other packers.
The packers mentioned in the statement stand ready to prove to
any fair minded person that they are in keen competition with each
other, and and that they have no power to manipulate prices.
If this were not true they would not dare to make this positive
statement.
Furthermore, government figures show that the five large packers
mentioned in the report account for only about one-third of the
meat business of the country.
They wish it were possible to interest you in the details of their
business. Of how, for instance, they can sell dressed beef for less
than the cost of the live animal, owing to utilization of by-products,
and of the wonderful story of the methods of distribution throuoh-
out this broad land, as well as in other countries.
The five packers mentioned feel justified in cooperating with each
other to the extent of together presenting this public statement.
They have been able to do a big job for your government in its time
of need: they have met all war time demands promptly and COM
pletely and they are willing to trust their case to the tairmindedness
of the American people with the facts before them.

GERMANY'S BROKEN AGREE
MENTS

Germany agreed at The Hague CON
vention of 1907 to certain definite rules
of war Among them were these:
No employment of deleterious
gases, no bombing Of unfortified towns,
no pillaging, no levying Of illegal con
tributions in occupied territory, no
seizure of funds belonging to private
persons. No collective penalties for
individual acts prohibiting shooting
of hostages), no terrorization of a
country by outrages on its civil inhab-
itants. Everyone OF these provisions
has been deliberately violated by Ger
man forces-yiolated as deliberately
as the neutrality of Belgium was vio-
lated.-Kansas City Star.

RUSSIAN REVOLT WORLD
BENEFIT

Count Ilya Tolstoy, in an address be-
fore the Canadian clubof New York,
predicted that Germany would never
conquer Russia, that the more terri
tory the Germans appeared to wrest
from Russia, the greater would be the
fighting spirit of the Russian people
when it was aroused, and that the day
would come when Russia would win
the sympathy of the allies by taking
up arms again against Germany. The
Russian revolution, Count Tolstoy add
ed, was of great benefit to the world in
general, because it prevented the con-
solidation of the car and his empire
with the German and Austrian emper-
ors and their countries.

A WOLF IN SLEEPS CLOTHING

Victor Berger, the Socialist candi-
date for the United States senate, is
sending out his platform. He says
that if elected he will work for an ''im-
mediate general and permanent
peace"
Well, that is what the loyal people
and the government Of the United
States are fighting for. The difference
is that Berger is pro-German in his
sympathies. He really sides with
our enemies. He wants a peace with
Germany on top. That's no sort of a
peace for this country. Berger has
been in reality an enemy of this coun-
try, a secret friend Of our deadliest
enemy. All his talk about peace is a
catch-vote humbug. He is wearing a
sheepskin to conceal the wolf of Ger
manism. 1t will not hide his real pur-
pose to loyal eyes.-Former Governor
Hoard in Fort Atkinson Union.

srael. when they defended Jerusalem

Israel, when they defended Jerusalem
against siege, were advised by Ezekiel
to untilize every possible means for
suppIementing their wheat supplies
and that was more than 2,400 years
ago. A writer has revived Ezekiels
recipe in the following aticle:
A thirteenth century commentator,
David Kimchi, drew attention to the
verse in Ezekiel which said, "Take
thou also unto thee wheat, and barley,
and beans, and lentils, and millet, and
ftches, and put them in one vessel,
and make three bread thereof" "The
prophet" commented David Kimchi,
thus warns the disobedient children
of Israel that, during the siege Of Je-
rusalem, they will no longer be able
to make their bread with pure wheat,
but they will have to mix with it all
kinds of grain and vegetables with
which flour is not made unless ex-
IRENE need makes it necessary to do
so. Whatever Ezekiel may have
meant by his advice to the children of
Israel, he furnished a recipe for war
bread which is pretty certainly the
Oldest extant in the world. David
Kimchi's comment is 700 years old,
and Ezekiel wrote 1900 years before
Kimchi.

At the beginning of the war the pac-
ifist-that is, the bulk of the American
people-was in the position of the tee
totaler bitten by rattlesnake. He
abhorred and distrusted the remedy
which was at hand, and he likewise
abhorred and distrusted the venom or
the snake But the serpent knew no
other argument, and the man had no
other remedy Immediately available.
His friends, earlier bitten, had been
forced to trust to the same remedy.
And with many misgivings, but with
grim determination, he set force
against force, poison against poison,
with the firm resolve that the same
serpent should never bite again.-Da
