PRICE LISTS.

The food administrator will en-
deavor TO have published more sys-
tematically price lists giving to the
public a list OF fair prices which the
purchasing public should pay for va
rious articles OF food. If prices al
variance with this list are being
charged, the administrator urgently
asks that the public be police force
to report at once to the local food
administrator the prices that vary
with the published price list, The
sole purpose of the Food Administra-
ton having been called into existence
Is that IL may ask, and It may act In
defense of, the public to help cut
out unfair practices and so.called
profiteering
The logical sequence is that the
public must act as cooperative OF
police force, and promptly notify the
tration of unfair practices that come
to their knowledge through purchas
Ing or otherwise. This all leads tC
the subject OF undue advance In
prices of any commodity in any com
munity Take the ice problem There
Is a tendency just now to unduly ad
vance the price Of ice. Ice in the
summer Is one Of the greatest pre-
servers of food necessities that W,
use. Profteering in this essentia
should not be allowed
What is profiteering? II is an ad
vance in price beyond the pre-wa
period that is not justified by the in
creased cost since the war began I
the cost advances to the profiteerinl
point in any commodity. the publi
should notify promptly the local foo,
administrator and an investigation
will be made.
