THE FEDERAL TRADE COMMISSION IN IT'S RECENT
PORT ON WAR PROFITS, STATED THAT THE FIVE LARGE
MEAT PACKERS HAVE BEEN PROFITEERING AND THAT

the Associated Press)-Food condi-

to reports reaching here, this being
especially true of the country dis
tricts, where the peasants have stored
quantities of cereals and other agri-
cultural products. In the cities food
is available to all having the means
to pay the high prices asked. Cloth

prohibitive and there also is an acute
shortage in drugs and surgical dress
ings. Quinine sells for 500 a pound
and paper is used for bandages.
There is much money in the coun-
try, the reports indicate. The Bulga-
rian government recently sold $780,
600 pounds of tobacco at nearly SO

During the entire period of the wal
