NO NICKEL LOAF
FOR TWO YEARS?
Five-Cent Bread, Officials Say. I'm
possible Until Food COndi-
tons Are Normal.

The inter- Office debate within the
food administration on the advls-
ability of the government sub9i-
dizing -four to effect a scent loaf
of bread, appears to be swinging
against the proposed subsidy.
Without subsidized -four, officials
saw. a scent loaf will be impos-
sible until after world food condi-
tions return to normal and this,
they add, will require at least two
years.
A majority of the food officials
sidv, which would cost the govern
ment $500,000,00 and would not.
this majority believes, force down
prices on other foods, as claimed
by the scent loaf boomers.
According to the departments
calculations, general drop in
food prices will occur only when
world surplus food stocks are
created.
The pre-war normal world wheat
surplus was about 300,000,O 900
bushels. On this basis the world
will be about 100000. 900 bushels
short when the next American
harvest comes in, it is argued. de-
spite Americas 1919 crop of ap-
proximately 919,000,000 bushels.
Neither will an estimated 1919
crop of 1000, 100000 or 100000,
600 bushels enable the building up
OF a world wheat reserve. OF this
America will use, it is expected
about 650,00O,000 bushels leaving
$50 ,OO0, 900 bushels for export. De-
partment officials say France. Italy
and the Balkan nations will abb
sorb this easily. They scout the
charge that the United States gov
eminent stands to lose from $780,
OOO, 900 to 81 1000, 900 900 because it
guaranteed he price of 1919 wheat
at S2.26 a bushel as a result of
predicted drop in the market be-
low the guaranteed price. A big
price drop is impossible, it is
pointed out, with the present world
shortage in food stocks.

II You Need a Medicine
You Should Have the Best

Have you ever stopped to reason why
it is that SO many products that are ex-
tensively advertised, all at once drop out
of sight and are soon forgottens The
reason is plain-the article did not fulfill
the promises of the manufacturer. This
applies more particularly to a medicine.
medicinal preparation that has real
curative value almost sells itself, as like
an endless chain system the remedy is
recommended by those who have been
benefited, to those who are in need of it.
A prominent druggist says "Take for
example DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root,
preparation I have sold for many years
and never hesitate to recommend, for in
almost every case it shows excellent re-
suits, as many of my customers testify
No other kidney remedy has so large a
sale"
According to sworn statements and
verified testimony of thousands who have
used the preparation, the success of DR..
kilmer's Swamp-Root is due to the fact,
so many people claim, that it fulflls al
most every wish in overcoming kidney,
liver and bladder ailments; corrects uri-
nary troubles and neutralizes the uric
acid which causes rheumatism.
You may receive a sample bottle of
Swamp, Root by Parcels Post. Address
DR.. Kilmer & Co.. Bing ghamton, N. Y,
and enclose ten cents; also mention this
paper. Large and medium size bottles
for sale at all drug stores.-Adv.
