"Profteer4ng' by many restaurants and hotel men around the stare fn boosting pr4ces and in serving smaller rovtions is given severe censure by the nronEAlF bulletin O. the state health board.
 Under this caption the h,,=.,n board bulletin says:
 ''l1very man with red blood in. him is more than willing 10 abide by the regulations of the foed administration. Personal observation, however, leads us to believe that many restaurants and hotels, under the guise of abiding
 by the regulations are taking advan-
 tage of the people and are serving extremely small portions at unreasof1- ably high prices. There is an actual 1 shortage of certain foods nut there is no good reason for charging exorbi | tant prices for these foods of which
 there is no shortage. We feel com cerned on this score because unques-
