WHEAT BREAD AND
PLENTY SUGAR NOW
ON COLORADO TABLES

Temporary peace has added two
luxuries to the American table. The
United States Food Administration
tor Colorado announced last week
that pure wheat bread may now be
served ON all tables. The sale and
use of substitutes II no longer neces-
sary. 1t is stated, because of the re-
leasing Of large stores Of flour in the
Southern Hemisphere which were
formerly tied up by the war and war
demands on shipping.
In sugar-producing states. such A.
Colorado with its beet. and louisiana
with its cane sugar. the Food Admin
lstration has increased the household
allowance of sugar to four pounds per
person per month.
Restaurants however, though per
mitted to serve wheat bread. are still
limited as to quantity served and are
permitted to serve only an extra tea
spoonful Of sugar.
The need for keeping strictly with
In the sugar allowance and for vast
Ing not a crumb OF the welcomed
wheat bread IL reiterated by the food
board.

According to . telegram received
from the secretary of the Cattle Loan
Agency of the War Finance Corpora
ton at Kansas City by the livestock
division of the United States Food Ad-
ministration for Colorado. the corpor-
alton has been urged by its legal ad
visers that. being a war organization
only. It must wind up its affairs by the
time peace is declared and therefore
does not expect to do much more
business through the agency"
This amounts to a practical closing
of the Cattle Loan Agency at Kansas
City as far as further loans to cattle
men Is concerned.
Congress may endsavor to help the
cattle industry" H. H. Tompkins. Jr.
head OF the livestock division Of the
food administration said. But Con

This is the assurance Of the Food

In spite of the fact that the end Of
the war has released great stores Of
wheat upon the markets of the world;
that wheat is now selling In Australia
at 95 cents q bushel; that only $1.03
ls guaranteed for the 1919-1920 crop
Of Australian wheat; and that there
ls q prospect of even A. low as 70-cent

will maintain the price promised
American farmers for their wheat.
According to George 8. Clayton.
chairman of the milling division OF
the Food Administration for Colorado.
1t is probable that a sliding tariff on
wheat will be arranged to protect
American wheat growers.

HOOVER SAYS: I'VE have prom

In forty days the shipping of this food
will commence. Then the American peo

The first commodities which will be
affected will be butter and condensed

ton will Immediately have to bs made.
There will be world shortage in

make great sacrifice to fill the ships

Boston-Swift & Co., have prepared
a reply to the accusations Of the
Federal Trade Commission filed with
Senate subcommittee on Sept. %
The company states that in its
whole consideration of profits, the
Federal Trade Commission fails to
realize that the profits reported by
the packers are not profits that have
actually appeared in the form Of cash,
but are largely book profits tied up
in inventory which will undoubtedly
disappear in large measure when
prices begin to go down. Even if the
war lasts five years longer and the
drop in prices does not come until
then, the loss will be just as real.
For the meat and by-products de-
partments, which are subject to the
9 per cent limitation of profits, the
statement continues, the rate of turn
over is approximately 31-3 times q
year. at must be remembered that
part Of the steer consists of by-pro-
ducts which move slowly, that some
of the beef is cured and salted, and
large portion of pork products con-
sists of cured products which move
very slowly and that even in the sale
of strictly fresh meat it takes some
time for the money to return to the
company's Golfers after the actual
sale is made.

packers profit of one-quarter of a
cent per pound on beef amounts to
IS ton as compared to only 25 cents
per ton profit on coal AS matter
of fact an average quality ton of beef
is worth at wholesale at present
about S4OO. whereas a ton of anthra-
cite coal at tidewater is worth only
about 81. Compare $5 profit on a
s4OO sale with 25 cent profit on a
81 sale. The beef profit is only about
IL per cent, coal profit over 81 per
cent.
"In 1917 Swift & Co. filed over
10000, 600 orders of all products with
a total of about 2OO,OOO,OOO items, d
large part of which had to be weighed
and wrapped separately, while coal is

CURE ron PNEUMONIA

The following clipping from Cal
ifornia paper regarding the cure Of
pneumonia was handed to US. 1t
seems worthy of considerations:
During my stay in Pasadena, 1907
1908, / read in Los Angeles papers of
deaths from pneumonia of from two
to five persons every "a hours. The
9th of February. 1909, got the fol-
lowing prescription inserted in four
of the Los Angeles daily papers, the
public read it and the next day the
high death rate dropped suddenly,
the papers only recording one death
day.
This simple remedy was discov-
cred 20 years ago. and can be had at
any drug store for 80 cents. Seven
people died last week in one day from
this malady. am ready to defend
this remedy as an absolute cure for
pneumonia, even in the last stages.
The remedy is: Saturate ball of
cotton one inch in diameter with
spirits of grain alcohol. add three
drops of chloroform to each ball of
cotton. place it between the patients
teeth (after first using vaseline on
the gums to prevent burning) and let
the patient inhale the fumes in long,
deep breaths for Is minutes; then
rest for Is minutes or more, inhale
again and repeat the above for 20
times.
The result will be that the lungs
will relax and expand to their normal
condition; in "a hours the patient is
out of danger and in 48 hours cured,
though weak.
Change the cotton every seven min
utes, else the saliva will dilute the
alcohol.
Doctors, try this for humanity's
sake.
Cut this out and save it, as it may
save life.

Washington. Formal announce
ment that American troops, sent to
reinforce the Allied armies, have
taken part in the fighting was made
by the War Department in its weekly
review of the situation.
"Our forces have taken part in the
battle" says the statement briefly,
American units are in action east of

The review in emphasizing the i'm

that Americas imperative duty is to

"In addition to those already called
to the colors," says the statement,
"and those in training at our canton
ments or already selected for service,
very large quotas will be required in
the immediate future. to fill the gaps. !"
In this connection the review points
out that "the enemy is seeking a de-
cision that will end the war and the
outcome of the present operations

The statement mentions the attack
on American positions at Seicheprey,
northwest of Toul. Here on April 90,
the review says, the Germans swept

gave up the ground occupied. The
statement is as follows:
"The outcome of the present opera

power. The Germans are relying
principally on rifles, machine guns,
manpower and carefully thought-out
methods of transporting and supplying
munitions to the front of attack under
all conditions, which means that they
have developed mobility of offensive
action that can only be met by coun-
ter measures of equal potency and
f1exibility.
"A battle of such magnitude as the
one Delng IOugnt IN the west cannot
be decided by any single engagement
yet there arise a series of crises on
which the ultimate outcome depends.
These crises, up to the present in a
large measure, have resulted favor
ably to the enemy.
THE vigorous attacks driven
against the British lines were intend
ed to paralyze the Independent will
power of the British command. In
this the enemy has failed. Unity of
command of the Allies has extended
operations to the broader field of gen.
eral engagements in which all the AL
lied forces will henceforth be used in

This change in the combat situa-
ton has materially altered the mo-
ment of decision of the offensive. In
stead of the enemy being able to de-
feat the British Army and then turn
it's full energy against the French, the
Allies are now able to oppose their
full united strength to the hostile at
tack.
