WASHINGTON, Nov. 27.-Perma-

made public today.
Houston also declares that the sys-

opinion 1t should be extended to In
cluded related interests and urges
prompt congressional action to make
the plan possible.
TIis statement is contained in a
lengthy review OF the agricultural and
food situation in the country.
'tAs you know, the department at
the direction of the president Is now
administering under license the con-
troll OF tho stock yards and related in
terests." Houston said. THE import
ant results already accomplished un-
der this authority, clearly demonstrate
its usefulness and emphasizes the de
STABILITY of continuing 1t or some
other adequate form Of supervising.
''The question also of exercising
similar authority over the slaughter
ing. meat packing and related inter
ests, is one for serious consideration.
The food administration has placed
Limitations on profits on meat and by
products handled by the establish
ments and required the installation Of
uniform counting systems.
"In this way the Capitalization OF
control by small group Of packers
have been materially checked
"The economic welfare OF meat pro-
duction and distribution would be
prompted by the continuation and de-
t., ~ -
vision over the packing industry.
"Such control, OF course, should be
closely co-ordinated with that OF the
live stock markets and there should
also be established central office
to which packing concerns should be
required to report currently in such
form and detail that It would be con-
stantly informed concerning their op-
erations. The necessary legislation
should be enacted at the earliest pos
sible moment"

HOW TO FIGHT
SPANISH INFLUENZA
BY DIR. L. w. BOWERS.

Avoid crowds, coughs and towards,
but fear neither germs nor Germans!
Keep the system in good order, take
plenty OF exercise in the fresh air
and practice cleanliness. Remember
a clean mouth, a clean skin, and
clean bowels are a protecting armour
against disease. To keep the liver
and bowels regular and to carry away
the poisons within, it is best to take
a vegetable pill every other day,
made up of May-apple, aloes, jalap,
and sugar-coated, to be had at most
drug stores, known as DR.. Pierce's
Pleasant Pellets. If there is sud-
den onset OF what appears like hard
cold, one should go to bed, wrap
warm, take a hot mustard foot-bath
and drink copiously of hot lemonade.
If pain develops in head or back,
ask the druggist for Anuric (anu-
uric) tablets. These will flush the
bladder and kidneys and carry off
poisonous germs. To control the
pains and aches take one Anuric tab
let every two hours, with frequent
drinks OF lemonade. The pneumonia
appears in a most treacherous way.

emily recovering and anxious to leave
