The allies have made further and
increased demands for breaistuffs,
these enlarged demands being caused
to some degree by shortage In arrivals
from the Argentine It is, therefore,
necessary for the q. s. Food Admins

the purpose of centering effort for the

Experience shows, this statement
says, that the consumption of bread

consumption of meat For various
reasons our supplies of meat for, the
next two or three months are consitl-i
erably enlarged, and we can supply the
allies with all of the meat products
which transporta facilities render
possible and at the same tilne some

Let me tell you story. Inspector Clifford Grant

Just WHY Can 1t Not Be Stoppedi

There is in the city of Washington engaged
IN selling stock to the public openly.
It is believed by this newspaper to be stock In which
the public will lose every dollar invested
It Is believed by this newspaper that the stock selling
Is not honest, not conducted by honest men.
This belief, informed by the Police Department,
is shared by the police.
Statements have been made and posted up in writing
by this concern alleging conditions which do not exist and
can be disproved.
The police say that they have law under which they
can stop exploitation Of this kind
Il Is curious that the individual little criminal is
easily checked in his Any policeman any official
can stop him.
But the weorganzed system Of robbing the public at
large is peculiarly well protected hard to overcome
WHY? -
P.S-To this it may be added that there are in Wash
ington literally hundreds of engaged in robbng the
public through socaled handbook betting operations
The police know that these at work constantly
they know the names of many Of them.
They aware that they violate the law that they
take hundreds Of thousands of dollars from working people
There is doubt whatever to the good faith Of the
police in this matter Where is the trouble?
Isit HIGHER UP?
Inasmuch the people of Washington not allowed
to control themselves make their laws select their
officials it ought to be melody business to protect
them from the occasional thevery Of "getrich quick

He paid the bills, they ate and
