HOG PRICE AGREEMENT
OF ADMINISTRATION
WILL Be CONTINUED
This Announcement Does Not
Affect Portland Price In
Least.

Washington, Jan. 22.-The hog price
agreement policy of the food administra
tion will be continued, despite attacks
upon the present scale of $3.50 in the
face of the present large surplus, F. S.
Snyder, head of the meat divisions jan
nounced.
"The food administration will fulfill
its pledge given to the hog producers
of the country on November 3, 1917,"
said Snyder. "The attack (by the Chi
cago board of trade) is not justified
for the simple reason that the surplus
of hogs now in this country will turn
into a big deficit next summer if Eu-
rope can get sufficient money and ships
to move the stuff"
The hog committee of the food admin
istration will meet January 20 to agree
on price for hogs during February.
"The visible demands will take care
of the surplus sometime in March, y"
said Snyder. "Spring will see 6 slight
shortage instead of an overflow"
The agreement referred to by Snyder
is the statement of Joseph p Cotton.
chief of the meat division and now In
Europe with Herbert Hoover. The food
administration has no price fixing pow
ers, but is authorized under the Lever
act to make agreements with industriet
for stabilized prices.
Snyder declared that the high prices
are not of particular benefit to the
packers, inasmuch as the packers prof
its are limited.
"It will be found" said Snyder
that packers sales will not have net
ted them the full nine per cent which
they were allowed as fair profit. +"
CONCERNING the surplus, Snyder said
that the present supply of hogs is two
million less than 1916. His figures
show that the hog production for 1916
was 43,073,703; in 1917 it was 33,909,.
664; in 1918, it totalled 40,795,477.
These figures represent hogs inspected
and slaughtered.

WHAT 10 EAT
Avoid Indigestion; Sour Acid
Stomach, Heartburn, Gas
On Stomach, Etc.

Indigestion and practically all forms
Of stomach trouble, say medical au-
thorities, are due nine times out of ten
to an excess of hyirochlorie acid in
the stomach. Chronic "aeid stomach -
Is exceedingly dangerous and sufferers
should do either cne of two things.
Either they can go on limited and
often disagreeable diet, avoiding foods
that disagree with them, that irritate
the stomach and lead to excess acid Sc
eretion or they can cat as thcy pieaee
in reason and make it a practice to
ecunteract the effect of the harmful
acid and prevent the formation of gas,
sournoss or premature ferman alton by
the use Of a. little Bisuratcd Magnesia
at their meals.
There is probably no oe-Jer, safer or
more reliable stomach antiaeid than
Bisurated Magnesia and it is widely
used for this purpose. 1t has no direct
action on the stomach a-d is rot di-
gestent. But teaspoonful OF the pow
der or a couple of five grain tablets
taken in a little water with the food
will neutralize the excess aeidity
which may be present and prevent its
further formation. Tbs removes the

digests naturally and h h'a'lhfully with

diges,ents.
Get few ounces Of Bisasated Mag

for either powder or tablets. 1t never
comes as a liquid, milk or citrate and

that those tales Of blood and lawless
daring which Kate had given to Amos
Grimshaw had led to the Staying of

The play ends just as the night is
falling with, Kate and me entering the
little home, so familiar now, where she
lives and is ever welcome with Aunt

meets us at the door and is saying in a
cheerful voice:
