GOVERNMENTAL PHICE-F1XING.

Herbert G. Hoover, in a speech at
Pittsburg, gave an explanation OF
the governments price-tiXing policy
that helps to correct prevalent
mistake.
The popular idea is that the Unit
scheme by which the prices to con-
are, or can be, regulated by the gov
eminent. This is not. the case. There
sumers of commodities in general
have been some specific instances OF
such price-tixing, but in general the
government is not attempting 10
step in arbitrarily between the pro-
Queer or dealer. and the con IIa,
Its price-fxing is what Mr.. Hoover
calls incidental" without regard to
any theories. 1t is based solely on
practical, present utility.
The government fixes the prices
which Il is willing to pay for Ger
tain commodities. 1t happens, in
many cases, that just because the
government. is SO big a buyer, these me IS
prices dominate the market That
is about all there is to it.
I'VE are not exploiting economic
saws MIR. Hoover. Still the plan in
operation is something new in the
history of economics. 1t is new
kind of monopoly. Hitherto we
have had selling monopolles. Nov
we have buying monopoly, presid-
ed over by Uncle Sam.
This monopoly is made possible
by the fact that Uncle Sam is spend
ing many billions year for war
materials and is supporting an army
of 100000 men, which will soon
be twice that size He is also act
ing as the purchasing agent Tor
many million fighters in Europe, and
for European civil population OF
more than 100, 100000.
Never before has there been buy
ing on such scale, with about So
100000 individual customers rolled
into one. 1t would be strange if the
buying prices set for things purchas-
ed in this way did not affect prices
outside the monopoly, just, as the
selling prices of the. socalled steel
trust and oil trust affect the selling
prices of the independents Other
buyers naturally don't want to pay
more than the government pays.
They will not do so, moreover.

LIBERTY BONDS AT PAR.

There is one fact in connection
with the third liberty loan that
should be widely known. 1T is this.
that the United States is the only
belligerent nation that has offered
such loan at par. In every other
country the rate of interest has not
only been higher than ours, but the
bonds have been sold at discount.
But the millions of Americans who
have taken the American loans, have
raised no question about the secur-
ity; they have invested their, money
freely and with confidence born OF
the knowledge that the financial
strength of the United States is
greater than that of any other ma
ton, and that long before that
strength can be seriously impaired
the financial systems of the rest OF
the world will fall in pieces. The
treasury regards the total OF sub.
scriptions, as we'll as the number OF
as convincing evidence
of the loyalty of the American peo-
pie and of their purpose to see the
war through to a successful finish.
Moreover, they are held to be sure
promises of the success OF future
loans

THE MAKING OF
A FAMOUS
MEDICINE
How Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound
Is Prepared For
Woman's Use.

A visit to the laboratory where this
successful remedy is made impresses
even the casual looker-on with the reli-
ability, accuracy, skill and cleanliness
which attends the making of this great
medicine for woman's ills.
Over $50, 900 pounds of various herbs
are used annually and all have to be
gathered at the season of the year when
their natural juices and medicinal SUBJ
stances are at their best.
The most successful solvents are used
TO extract the medicinal properties from
these herbs.
Every utensil and tank that comes in
contact with the medicine Is sterilized
End as final precaution in cleanliness
the medicine Is pasteurized and sealed
in sterile bottles.
1t is the wonderful combination of
roots and herbs, together with the
skill and care used in it's preparation
which has made this famous medicine
so successful In the treatment of
female ills.
The letters from women who have
been restored to health by the use of
Lydia e. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
