OMAHA BAKERS
MUST SHOW WHY
CHARGE IS HIGH
To Appear Before Food Admin
istration, Where They Will
Give Figures to Substan-
tiate Bread Prices.

Whether bakers of Omaha will be
able to substantate their statements
that they cannot bake bread and sell
it at 7H cents per loaf wholesale, will
depend upon their showing, which
must be made in the very near future
Complaints against them. charging
them with taking an undue profit have
been filed in Washington by Federal
Food, Administrator Wattes. The
procedure after a complaint has been
filed has been that those charged are
cited by the United State food ad-
miniStration to appear before the To-
cal administrator and show cause why
their license should not be revoked.
Hearing by Referee.
The same procedure will likely
maintain in the case of bakers, and
they will appear before a referee who
will be named by the local official.
The bakers are preparing for the
hearing, having employed an attorney,
who will conduct their case.
The differences between the bakers
and the food administration preci-
pitated by the recent raise in whole
sale prices, resolves itself into the
question of operation expenses. Ere
quent statements have been made that
the actual cost of bread. as far as the
raw materials entering into it, amount
to about 4 cents per loaf.
If Tread cannot be baked at proht
of IA cents, the loss is due to over
head expense argues the government.
Important to State.
Figures submitted by the govern
ment, after an exhaustive investiga-
ton, stated that bread should be sold
at a profit with the retail price at J
to s cents. This latter price is main
tanned in many cities Of the United
States, while 9 cents is the price in
many of the larger centers.
The bread price in Omaha is the
price that will maintain for the state
and for that reason is of vital inter-
est to every person in the state.
The food administration has been
urging cheaper bread, on the theory
that this important foodstuff should
be available for every one at lea
sonable price.
Everyone must have bread and
while many citizens of the state could
afford to pay the higher price. yet
the great mass cannot afford to stand
the raise. if for any chance it is un-
warranted.
Joseph B. Fradenburg, attorney for
the master bakers, refused to make
any comment last night.

Packers Try to
Influence Wilson
~ To Check Probe

Heney on the basis of a memoran-
dunn taken, from the confidential files
Of Edward p. Swift.
Evidence that the packers had OBJ
tained confidential information in 1916
caused Francis ]. Heney. counsel in
the meat packing investigation, to
protest publicly to the federal trade
commission today against the prac-
tee of leaving the Offices in the COM
missions building unlocked. .
Il have several times returned and
found an attorney for the packers in
my Office" Mr.. Heney said.
Packers Planned Campaign.
iMr. Heney's statement was made
i, connection with the reading OF
.urther confidential documents taken
from the files of the Chicago packers,
which showed that the packers
planned an elaborate campaign in
1916 to influence congressman against
ordering an investigation into the
live stock and meat packing industry,
as was proposed in the Borland reso-
luton.
The recommendation was made by
cpunse, for the packers that they
should undertake TO have the ju-
dietary committee flooded with telc-
grams from all over the country, es.
pecially the congressional districts
where the members came from, pro,
testing against passage of the ,Bor
land resolution, or the grounds THAT
live stock was selling at very salts,
factory prices and any investigation
would only disturb such satisfactory
conditions.
Sent Different Messages.
at = quite important to reach
Gard, of Hamilton, O." the memo
randum of counsel reads. Perhaps
Proctor of Cincinnati knows him."
Questioned by Commissioner Muir
lock, Mr.. Heney said the Proctor
referred to was the soap manu-
lacturer.
Mr.. Murdock found considerable
interest in a sentence OF the memo
randum which recommended that al
the messages should be varied.
He said it was the psychology o
congressman that when they received
large number of kilograms, identi
cal in fern, they suspected somebod,
was trying to put something over,
which undoubtedly was recognized
by the packers also.

pepsia Tablets.

Most of US eat three times day
and often forget that each meal
should be disposed of in the stomach
to make room for the next. The fail
ure of the stomach to do this is call:d
indigestion or dyspepsia, with its
sour risings, gas, rumblings, pain, de-

when breathing is difficult.
The most effective remedy and the
most reliable one, because you can
get it at any drug store in the United
