Short-Weight Men, Too, to
Feel Firm Hand of Food
Officials.

The privilege of doing business in
the District markets will be denied
to profiteering dealers. whether whole
sale or retail. who attempt to initiate
prices without reason. Giving short
weight is looked upon by the local
officials as being just as unscrupu-
lous as profiteering in prices, and it
will call for the same punishment.
This assurance was given by WASH
ington's food administrator in an ad-
dress before retail dealers of the
Eastern. Western and Georgetown
markets in the boardroom of the Dis
trict building yesterday afternoon.
These are District owned and oper-
ated markets, and local officials be-
Iieve the proposition to deny the priv
ileges of these markets to price boost
ers and short-weight men will prove
Infinitely more effective than any
other form of discipline and punish
ment thus far devised by the local

slant dosing necessary.
Why don't you begin right today to

can do so If you get 25c box of
Natures Remedy (NR TabIets) and
take one each night for a week or so.
Mr. Tablets do much more than
merely cause pleasant easy bowel ac-
tion. This medicine acts upon the
digestive as we'll as eliminative or

the body to get the nourishment from
all the food you eat, gives you a good,
hearty appetite, strengthens the liver,
overcomes biIiousness, regulates kid
ney and bowel action and gives the
whole body thorough cleaning out.
This accomplished you will not have
to take medicine every day. An &C.
caslonaI Mr. Tablet will keep your
body in condition and you can al
ways feel your best.
