Why Is man and woman, half

achy, dull and unstrung; some

If we all would practice the
drinking of phosphated hot water

ing change would take place. In
stead of thousands of half-sick,
anaemie-leoklng souls with pasty,
muddy compilations we should see
crowds of happy, healthy, rosy
checked people everywhere. The
reason is that the human system
does not rid itself each day of all
the waste it accumulates under
our present mode of living. For
every ounce Of food and drink
taken into the system nearly an
ounce of waste material must be
carried out, else it fer1ments and

HAM AND EGGS
RISE IN PRICE
Cheese Goes Up; Butter
Comes Down; Other
Quotations.

N Washington housewives will have
TO pay more for their breakfasts OF
ham and eggs during the next week.
according to the fair price list is
sued yesterday by the local Food
Administration Cheese also went
up. but butter and lard gave the
thousekeeper some relief when they
stopped climbing and both dropped.
Select fresh eggs. quoted on the
list as weighing not less than "a
ounces. per dozen. jumped up one
cent a dozen. this weeks price be-
ing set at 73 cents. Cold storage
eggs also went up one cent. reach
ing a mark OF 56 cents per dozen.
Whole standard hams showed an in
crease over last weeks price when
they were quoted at 3S to 40 cents
per pound Last weeks price was
3s to 80. The price Of American
whole milk cheese shows the big
sest increase. jumping two cents
per pound. Last week the price was
"a to 80 cents per pound, while this
week it is IS to 41 cents. In half
pound lots, the cheese jumped one
cent, 10 Il cents.
Butter Falls.
The most surprising development of
the week was the reduction in the
price Of butter. Best creamery but
ter, quoted last week at 81 to 50 cents
per pound. came down to 64 to IS
cents per pound. This, while it is
only a decrease of one cent in the
maximum price, is taken by most
people as indicating the stopping of
the general rise in price. Officials
here had practically become resigned
20 an advance as high as 81 per pound
when the wholesale price fell from So
to 81 cents per pound. Administration
officials declared yesterday that this
was probably due to the strict inves-
tigation of storage which is being
made throughout the country. Lard
also showed a decrease of one cent a
pound. being quoted at 81 to IS cents.
To Display Prices
Hope that the long delayed plan to
regulate the prices of meat was voiced

LOWER GRADE COTTON
TO BE USED FOR ARMY

The cotton section of the War In
dustries Board announced yesterday
that. with the cooperation of the
purchasing departments of the gov
ernment. and cotton manufacturers.
new policies designed to place in
manufacture greater amount of
grades of cotton below the class
known as middling. are now ef-
fective.
The new policies set forth that
some manufacturers are using a
grade of raw cotton higher than is
necessary to meet government
needs; that in the future cotton
goods sold the government will be
judged solely on the basis OF
whether the product comes within
the contract requirements as to
strength and serviceability and not
by the quality of raw cotton used !;
and that manufacturers of goods for
the civilian trade will be required
to use the same or lower grades Of
cotton for the production of classes
of goods similar to those used by
the army and navy.
