PROFITEERS' GAIN is
REAL BLOOD o N

mo person in the United States has
a right to make one cent more profit
out of any employment than he would
have made under pre-war conditions, ;
says Food Administrator Hoover In a
recent statement. 81 do not care
whether this refers to the farmer, to
the laborer, to the manufacturer, to
the middlemaA or to the retailer.
EVERY cent taken beyond this
standard is money distracted from the
blood and sacrifice of the American
people. Extortionate profits are not
necessary to secure the maximum eff
fort on the part of the American peo-
pie in this war.
IF we are going to adopt that the
DRY, We have admitted everything that
has been charged against us of being
the most materialistic, the most avert
cious, and the most venal of people in
this world"

CLOSE WATCH KEPT
ON FOOD

AT present the movements of more
than 1000 boats are being followed by
the shipping branch of the British
Ministry of Food. The ship intelli-
gence section of the branch must con-
stantly keep the changing positions of
these vessels before the various pur-
chasing committees.
What this means may be realized
when 1t is remembered that a boat
coming from North America with a
dozen different articles of food on
board may interest a dozen different
branches of the Food Ministry.
The necessary in%forlaation was af-
forded them by this branch. The con-
slant use of telephone and telewriter
enables the branch to keep in touch
with all these buying branches and
conditions, and instead of a hundred
calls from these branches the shipping
branch of the Food Ministry a settle
the business in me call.
This simplifies the work of the Min
istry of Shipping in a remarkable
manner. The fact that the shipping
branch is made up of business men
drawn from the shipping world in
sures the efficient conduct of the work.
