WHAT'S WRONG?
Livestock Producers Want Price
to Consumer Regulated.
Complain C0ngested Markets
Mean Loss to Producers.

Salt Lake City, Jan. 16.-1mmedlate
need of a broader field for disposal OF
beef, mutton and lamb, if production
of those meats is not to be reduced,
was asserted in the report of the mar
ket committee of the American Ma
tional Live Stock association, present.
ed to the twenty-first annual meeting
of that body here today.
Summarizing market conditions, tne
report said there were a tremendous
shortage of hogs, a moderate shortage
of sheep and liberal supplies OF cattle
in the United States; there is no DAN
ger of any other country invading the
American stockman'S market for some
time to come owing to shipping short
ages it went on, and there are I'M
usually large numbers of sheep and
cattle in feed lots and liberal re-
ceipts of fat cattle and lambs at con-
gested markets, which are selling at
heavy losses to producers" 1t added:
Want Packers Licensed.
Concerning the licensing of packers.
recently put into effect by the govern
ment, the report said this action lis
what we have wanted for years. A
close relation, it asserted, should be
maintained between prices of livestock
ION foot and dressed" 1t continued:
big declines, in prices on foot should
be reflected promptly in correspond
ing declines in wholesale prices" of
meat
There seems to be something
wrong in the operation of this very
simple principle. 1t is one of the i'm
portant things which should be
checked at frequent intervals"
The report made warm argument
for extension to the cattle and sheep
producers of the same sort of guar
antee of a minimum price which has
been given the hog raiser by the food
administration. Otherwise, it said,
there will be disposition on the part
of producers to hedge by producing
less eat -

rheumatism is caused by poison
GUS toxin called uric acid, Wh1ch is
generated in the bowels and absorbed
into the blood 1t is the function OF
the kidneys to filter this acid from the
blood and cast 1t out in the urine.
The pores of the skin are also a means
of freeing the blood of this impurity.
In damp and chilly. cold weather the
skin pores are closed. thus forcing the
kidneys to do double work, they be-
come weak and sluggish and fail to
eliminate this uric acid, which, keeps
accommodating and circulating thru the
system, eventually settling in the
joints and muscles. causing stiffness,
soreness and pain called rheumatism.
At the first twinge of rheumatism
get from eny pharmacy about four
ounces of Jad Salts; put a ia blespoon-

acid by stimulating the kidneys to

GREEN STAMPS VIOLATION
Attorney General Brewster Rules
Against Crosby Brothers System.

/ In ruling by S. M. Brewster, at
torney general, the present trading
stamp plan of the Crosby Brothers
Store company of Topeka is held to
be a violation of the anti-trading
stamp law. The opinion was sent to
Robert D. Carver, county attorney OF
Shawnee county.
| When the Sperry & Hutchinson sys-
tenn was held as violation of the law,
the Crosby Brothers company ar
ranged to buy stomps from the COM
pany, but to redeem them at a stipu-
lated cash value or from merchandise
from their own stock. Continuance of
the stamp operations, however, caused
Carver to seek an opinion as to the
legality of their present operations
Brewster holds the act a violation of
the law. He also held that a cash dis
count coupon of the Poehler Mercan-
tile company was not in conformity
with the law. The discount coupons
were to be attached to packages of
goods sold by the company.
Concerning the Crosby Brothers
stamp plan, the attorney general said:
THE exception to this law is to the
furnishing by the merchant himself,
of stamps to be redeemed by himself,
and is not an exception of the furnish
ing by third persons of stamps to the
merchant to be issued by the mer-
chant. If this is the correct construc-
ton of the statute, then the Crosby
Brothers scheme is a violation of the
statute. While the question is by no
means clear, I think this is the posi-
ton that you should take until the
supreme court decides the question"

NEED LUMBER MEN
Twentieth Engineers Want Specialized
Soldiers for Work in France.

The Twentieth engineers, known as
the Lumbermen's regiment, needs
5000 experienced woodsmen, lumber
men, and logging railroad men for inn
mediate service in France, it is the
statement of Sergt. Theo. Kohn, in
charge of the local army recruiting
office.
The Twentieth engineers is the larg-
est regiment in the world, being prac-
tically twice as large as any other reg
iment. 1t is divided into ten battalions
of $50 men each, and each battalion
is divided into three companies of ESQ
men each. The work of the Twentieth
will be in France where they will con-
vert French forests into ties, bridge
timbers, piling. telephone poles, trench
planks, pit props, lumber for canton
mentS and hospitals, firewood and
charcoal. The commissioned officers
for this regiment have not been Sc
lected from among men with office
experience only to qualify them for
the job, on the contrary the lumber
mans committee, the forestry bureau,
and the war department have CO.
operated in selecting the commissioned
officers with special regard to their
qualifications and practical experience
as loggers, bridge builders, etc. This
same rule will apply to men who quail
fy for the non-commissioned officers
in the regiment.
AS auxiliaries to the Twentieth en-
gineers there is being formed what
are called the 41st, 42nd and 43d aux
iliary forestry battalions composed of
road and bridge builders.
Both of these services are open to
qualified men not of the draft age and
under 40 years of age. Registered
men may enlist on certain conditions
Any one who considers himself quail
flied for enlistment in these branches
should wire or write Major c. E. Clark
