ming Purposes.

The action Of the Federal Food Board
in bringing about a reduction in the
price Of milk sold in glasses by the

irons has led to the belief that the local

tail charges for other foodstuffs as well
as milk

Federal Food Board headquarters as to
the plans for putting the soft pedal on
exorbitant charges for food. John
Mitchell. the chairman. And Arthur
Williams, Federal Food Administrator
for this city, were in Washington at
tending a conference with Mr. Hoover,
and none OF their subordinates would
venture q guess az to what the future
would bring forth.
It was said yesterday that II any per-
son felt that he had a Just cause for
complaining against exorbitant prices
for a beefsteak or a plate OF hash In a
hotel or restaurant the bureau OF COM
plants will be glad to make an investi-
present data in Justification Of it's prices.
IL the bureau OF complaints finds that
the charges are not within reason the

The Federal Food Board again called

every way possible.
'Grocers will furnish housewives with

Of sugar for canning. After the twenty
Ave pounds are used more sugar can be
obtained for this purpose II needed. Any
housewife in New York city who has
difficulty in getting sugar for canning
