TO PROSECUTE DEALERS
WHO RAISE MEAT PRICES

An effort is on foot with the Fair
Price Commission. of the State to
prosecute dealers who raise the price
OF meat.
Concerning the rumor that the
price of meat at retail has advanced
because of the railroad strike, inves-
tigation by the Fair Price Commits
sion discloses that no advance in the
wholesale prices of meat has thus
far occurred. The public is advised
to report cases of oyercharge on
meats, and retailers are warned that
prosecutions will be instituted where
violations are shown. The price on
choice cuts of pork loin in no in
stance should exceed 80 cents a pound
for best quality; some can be had
cuts of beef porterhouse steak
should not exceed As cents a pound,
with lower qualities at lesser price.
The attention of the commission
has also been called to the fact that
retail grocers are asking 16 cents for
the large loaf of bread. which does
not weigh 90 ounces when baked. The
price of bread, when fixed. was to
the effect that no increase would be
allowed on any size loaf unless the
standard weight was adhered to
Grocers are. therefore. cautioned not
to sell large size loaves of bread al
l6 cents retail which do not weigh "a
ounces. and grocers are warned
against this practice and should call
the attention OF the bakers from
whom they receive such bread to the
fact as above stated, according tC

OF the Department of Justice, whose
campaign so far has resulted in the
conviction OF 107 profiteers with fines
ranging from $50 to $4,000 and i'm
prisonment from one day TO two
years. has uncovered a number of
surprising commodities for which
dealers are said to be asking exorbi-
tant prices Complaints OF alleged
"gouging" in almost everything from
pickles TO rouge and from lemonade
to whiskey are being reported TO Mr.
Riley by New York consumers. One
man who had paid Sl.l5 to restau-
rateus for a tiny steak and six small
pieces OF French fried potatoes, didn't
stop 10 eat them but glancing at his
check. took a newspaper he had been
reading. wrapped up his meal" and
brought it 10 the Federal prosecutor
Some of the letters OF complaint
were amusing. others pathetic. ALL
however, showed the seriousness of
the present era of high prices. One
indignant citizen wrote: You ought
to investigate IS fish market in
Brooklyn. He's modern Jesse
james. What do you think of 80
cents a pound for salmon and so
cents for sea bass?
The chief of the Flying Squadron"
has received complaints of such ex-
amples of alleged profiteering as fol-
lows:
Drug store whiskey at So pint
and 81 more for doctors prescrip-
tion; canary birds $50 TO S25 and SO
10 SIS for a cage; lemonade, served
at hotel dance and said TO have
been weak" 81 a glass; rouge 81 to

fish during Lent rose from 90 cents
to 81 pound in some New York
markets: prunes, three for 10 cents
in a popular restaurant; peanut oil,
sold as "olive OIL 81 quart; an
thracite coal SIS instead of $3.50 a

To the Editor Of the Euening Capital:
Mr. Editor:

oeen quite active in a number OF pub
;ic movements both during and since

o devote myself TO my own affairs
or a time, but could not fail TO
respond to the request of an organi-
zation which has done so much for
humanity. and which will do more
sor il il it is given the means TO do

Of enabling this splendid body TO ac-
complish greater results in its own
Geld, one in which. in many phases.
il has few cowofkers.
number of the women and men
Of the county have been asked. or
will lie, to act as members of the diff
terent committees. and am hoping
that they will feel about this work
as do. and be willing to do their
part. Ii is particularly necessary that
those asked 10 head the canvassers
in the various districts make a
prompt beginning on the work of or
sani2ing their sections. The work
will not he great for any individual
if those asked to help will respond
freely. / make the earnest request
,ha; no one decline to take up any
portion of the work unless the reason
IS imperative.
The Salvation Army has endeared
itself TO us all by the unselfish and
efficient work done for our soldiers
during the war. but its stronger claim
is the work which it will do Tor those
who can probably be reached in no
other way. Its slogan, a man may
be down. but he is never out" strikes
responsive chord in the heart OF
every lover of his fellow man. The
people of our county must not fail
to have their part in the Army's
work.
That the people of this county. and
every other section. have been asked
10 work and contribute TO cause after
cause. I know. but this will continue
as long as the need continues. and
those who can work and give viii
not feel that their effort is completed

NO GRAFT IN WAR CONTRACTS

How the Government rose to
the emergency OF war, overcame
unprecedented difficulties and
put a winning army into the field
when there were gloomy predlc-
tions that the feat was impossi-
bic, was told in the House OF
Representatives by Frank Z.
Doremus, of Michigan. Mr..
Doremus is a minority member
Of the House select war investi-
eating committee.
Representative Doremus said
that despite the arduous labor
necessary as a member of All in
vestigating committee, he was
glad he had served because il
gave him an insight into Amer
ica's remarkable achievements.
81 do not regret the part have
taken in this investigations said
Mr.. Doremus. at has given me
a clearer idea of the gigantic
task that confronted the Govern.
.ment when war suddenly threw
its shadow athwart the path OF
a peace-loving people. 1t has
given me a keencr appreciation
of the obstacles that were sur
mounted and of how a mighty
nation arose to its great respon-
sibility when the supreme test OF
its genius and patriotism came"
Referring to the report of the
majority of the subcommittee,
which criticized various things in
the conduct OF the war but
brought no specific indictment
against any one. Representative
Doremus, with touch of sarcas-
sic emphasis. said:
This is a momentous occas-
ion in the life of our Republic.
On this day our reconstruction
Congress pauses in its tortuous
and questionable career to add
another chapter to that celebrat-
ed historical work entitled How
America Lost the War written
by Honorable William !.
Graham. of Illinois. and his nine
unprejudiced. disinterested, non
partisan Republican colIabora-
tors"
Representative Doremus add
ed that he had been assigned to
the subcommittee TO investi-
gate construction of army
camps and this investigation
has been one of the most sue
ceSsful building programs in the
history of the world"

An Inside Bath Makes You Look and Feel Fresh Says a glass of hot water with phosphate before breakfast
 keeps illness away. Th!s excellent, common-sense health measure being
 adopted by millions.

Physicians the world over recom- mend the inside bath, claiming this is of vastly more importance than outside cleanliness, because the skin pores do not absorb impurities into the blood, causing i'll health. while the pores in the ten yards of bowels do.
 Men and women are urged to drlnk each morning, before breakfast, a glass of hot water with a teaspoon ful of limestone phosphate in it, as a harmless means of helping to wash from the stomach, liver, kid neys and bowels the previous day s ,rdigestible material, poisons, sour bile and toxins; thus cleansing, sWeetcning and purifying the entire alimcntary canal before putting more food into the stomach.
 Just as soap and hot water cleanse and frcshen the skin, so hot water and limestone phosphate act on the eliminatiye organs.
 Those who wake up with bad breath. coated tongue, nasty taste or have dull, aching head, sal low complexion, acid stomach; oth- CTS who are subject to bilious at taoks or constipation, should obtain d quarter pound of limestone phos- phate at the drug store. This will cost very little but is sufficient to demonstrate the value of inside bathing. Those who continue # each morning are assured of pro nounccd results, both in regard to health and appearance.
