is to get more money and to have sick

twenty-five cents dues monthly. The

House Passes Bill

Landlords and Farmers
Exempted; President Is
attacked in Debate
NesO York Tribune
Wnshtnuton Burenu


WASHINGTON, Aug. 22-The House
to-day passed the bill amending tho
food control act, thereby providing that
clothing be included in legislation
on necessaries Of life, that profit
eers may be fined $4,000 or given
two years in prison, and that all
retailers may be prosecuted for hoard
ing or profiteering. Farmers and farm
organizations are exempted from the
provisions of the act.
However, the fulfilment of the prof.
ise of prompt enactment of the re-
quested amendments was clouded late
in the day by the rejection by the
House, by a special vote, of an amend
ment already adopted that would have
made rent profteers also liable to the
penalties to be inflicted upon profiteers
in clothing or food.
The reason advanced on the floor VIII,
food and clothing, but not shelter, were
necessaries of life to be protected alike
was that it was oped to put the bill
through without changes, since it is
but temporary legislation, and take up
any possible improvements III a bill
suitable to peace-time conditions.
Main Points of Measure
AS amende : to-day the Food Control
act provides:
l. That the government shall COR
troll foods, feeds. wearing apparel,
containers of foods, feeds and fer
tilizer, fuel, fuel oil, natural gas.
fertilizer and fertilizer ingredients.
tools, utensils, implements and MA
chinery and equipment for the pro
duction Of foods, feeds and fuel
2. That it is unlawful to destroy
or damage commodities for the sake
OF enhancing the price, to hoard or
attempt to monopolize any necessity,
to engage in discriminatory, unfair,
deceptive and wasteful practises in
connection with production, manu-
facture or distribution or to conspire
for any of these ends.
3. That the President has power to
license the Importation, manufacture.
storage, mining and distribution of
necessities.
4. That the President has author
ity to FIX guaranteed prices for wheat.
Rent Profiteers Left Out
The fight to bring rent profteers
within reach of the Federal law We.
made by Representatives Huddleston.
OF Alabama, and Hoard, of Oklahoma
1uddleston's amendment would have
included as necessaries of life "dwell-
ings and dwelling rooms let for hire
- Representative Howard stirred the
House with recital of how rooms
rented for years in Washington for s2e
month had been advanced at one sunni
this spring to $75 a month. The House
adopted the Huddleston amendment bv
vote of 79 to 63.
After the bill was ready for final
passage, however, upon motion Of Ren.

For Itching Torture

There is one remedy that seldom
fails to stop itching torture and relieve
skin irritation and that makes the skin
soft, clear and healthy.
Any druggist can supply you with
Zemo, which generally overcomes all
skin diseases. Eczema, itch, ,pimples,
rashes, blackheads in most cases give
way to Zemo. Frequently, minor blem-
islles disappear over night. Itching US
ually stops instantly. Zemo is safe,
antiseptic liquid, clean, easy to use and
dependable. 1t costs only 35c; an ex-
ira large bottle, S100. 1t will not stain,
is not greasy or sticky and is positively
safe for tender, sensitive skins.
