HO0vER'S REPORT
 ONMEATPACKERS

Washington. Feb. 2O.---A confiden- tiaI report made to President VI son fg- Herbert C. Hoover six months go on the big meat packers was made public yesterday by the Food Admin istra+ion at the direction of the Pres ident ito establish the real position of MT Hoover and the Food Admins traSson on the control of the Chicago packing industries" In recent hear witnesses for the livestock men chars ed collusion between MT. Hoover and the five leading packers.
 In the report, iu response to q. re- quest from the President for his views on the reCOmme udaiOns of the Fed eral Trade Commission, MT. Hoover said he reaffrmed his opinion given
 nearly a year 7l lore that "here is a growing and dangerous domination of the nations foodstufrs," and approved
 some of the commissions proposals. He recommended constructive regula-
 ton rather than stretching temporary war powers of the government, and expressed the belief that the domina-
 ton of the packers did, not necessarily
 imply wrong doing on their part, but
 was the natural outgrowth of various factors which need correction
 MT. Hoover accepted 'aa economically sound the Federal Trade Commits ston's recommendation regarding Fed eral control of animal and refrigera- tor car service, and said stoclIyards should he entirely dis-rociated from the control of the packers" He con tended, however, that wrong practices between buyers and sellers would not be corrected by the Government con- trolling or owning yards.
 His own instinct, MT Hoover said was against Federal own ershtp of the packers branch houses and cod stOr- age and warehouse facilities. Coin into aspects of the packing industry not covered by the Trade Commission he said:
 If proper abattoirs could be ex- tended near the larger towns, Eossi- bly, with municipal help and the oper- ations therein protected from iIlegit- innate competition, I believe they would not only succeed, but would greatly stimulate the local production Of meat animals. One effect would 6e a great qualification of prices by a wider based market than that now SC 1 largely dependent upon Q small group l of buyers"

EASY TO DA2KEN
 YOUR GRAY HAIR
You can Bring Back Color and Lustre with Sage Tea
 and Sulphur.

When you darken your hair with Sage Tea and Sulphur, no one can tell, because it's done TO naturally, so evenly. Preparing this mixture, though, at home, Is mussy and troublesome At little cost you can buy at any drug store the ready-to-use preparation, i'm proved by the addition of other in gredients called "Wyeth's S2ge and Sulphur Compound" You just darnpen a sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one small strand at a time. By morning all gray hair disappears, and, after another application or two, your hair becomes beautifully darkened, glossy and luxuriant.
 Gray, faded hair, though no dis grace, Is a sign of old age. and as we all desire a youthful and attractive appearance, get busy at once with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound and look years younger.-Adv.

TWO RED CROSS WORKERS FROM
MINERAL POINT

Miss Nancy Lambertson and Miss
Agnes Jones, who went to France last
summer, and had charge of Red Cross
hut at Beaune until after the holidays,
have since been sent to Roumania. as
members of the Roumania commission
consisting of sixty-f picked workers
under Col Wells of Chicago. Their
trip from Toulon on the Mediterranean,
and through the mine strewn Dardan-
elles to the Black Sea was made on
Roumanian boat which had been strip
ped of all interior fittings by the Boil
sheviki. Stops were made at Messina,
Athens, and Constantinople, and they
were landed at Costanzi and taken up
the Danube to Galatz, as far as the ice
would permit. Thence they went by
train to Bucharest, and have since been
transferred to Pitesti, northwest of
Bucharest in the foothills of the Car
pathian mountains. There they had,
at the time of the last reports from
them, established three soup kitchens
and supply stations, and expected to
establish seven more.
Miss Lambertson writes enthusiastic
ally of the beautiful country and the
clear bracing climate after the rain and
gloom of France, and says that the dis
tress of the starving people is heart
rending Describing their first tour OF
inspection out of Piesti, she writes !:
I'VE drove in our own camionette
and have never taken a more beautl-
full drive The forests are lovely. We
passed lot of gysies camping, and it
was like a scene on the stage. All the
homes are most primitive, and the peo-
pie, especially the children, look ghast-
ly. They are puffy and quite green in
color with what is called war dropsy.
We visited the schools while we were
waiting for our supplies to come up;
and really the children were the most
pathetic little things | have ever seen.
We also visited the hospital which is
pitiful The Germans took all their e.
quipment, in fact, they have taken every
thing all along the line. The whole
country we passed through today has
been robbed, even glass taken from the
windows, and all this was done in No
vember after the armistice was signed.

stripped, is going to let US use it for our
first soup kitchen. He gave us the
