SAY, BUY FRESH
HAM, IT'S CHEAP
Government Market Bureau Says
Consumer Can Save Money by
Following Suggestion.

Chicago. Ill, Oct. 24.-If the pub
lie realized the economical advan-
tages of broadening the demand for
fresh pork so as to include fresh,
unsmoked hams as a substitute for
pork lOins, the difference would be
a factor in reducing the cost of
food, according to announcement
made today by the United States
bureau of markets.
Fresh pork hams are offered
wholesale at 23c to 24c a pound,
and are meeting with show sale,
whereas pork loins are selling free
ly at 32C to 35c.
The wide difference in price be-
tween fresh loins and other fresh
pork cuts is due to the continued
demand from retail dealers for
loins, while most other cuts es-
pecially fresh hams are neglected,
the bureau says.

Gently passed by congress, with an

son of the fact that the wartime
enforcement section, making Illegal

of more than one-haIf of one per
cent alcoholic content, becomes ef-
fective with signature.
It was considered doubtful, how
ever, by White house officials
whether the president would be
permitted by Rear Admiral Gray
son, his personal physician, to con-
slider the bill and the opinion to-
day. DR.. Grayson, after the presi-
dent sent a message yesterday to
the national industrial conference,
ordered that no further govern
mental affairs be brought to Mr..
Wilson's attention during the day.
1t was not disclosed whether the
prohibition against activity would
be prescribed today The president,
however, has until Tuesday mid
night to act on the measure.
