U. S. FORECASTS
FALLING PRICES
EFFECTS IN RETAIL MARKET TO
BE FELT IN SPRING, SAYS
RESERVE BOARD.
FEW CHANGES IN FOOD PRICES
Checking of Speculation ad Increase
in General Efficiency Given AS Rea-
sons for Drop of Prices.

Washington-Ret prices, in the
opinion of the Federal Reserve Board.
will decline slightly during the au-
tumn and winter months and will
slump next spring to still lower
levels.
SUMMARIZING recent changes in prices
of various commodities, the board said
the Saving afforded by manufacturers
through lessened cost of materials
and increased efficiency Of labor most
assuredly will be felt in downward
movement of retail prices"
A general stump in retail prices dur
ing the next few months was fore
cast, although higher prices in some
lines are probably due to the fact
that many purchases for the autumn
and winter trade have been contracted
for at the old level Of prices.
Changes in the prices OF raw ma
terial, which were reported to have
been sharp during the recent weeks
will not show their effect, according
TO the board, in retail prices until
spring.
The board stated an important
downward tendency" in prices Of all
commodities except food had been
evident throughout the country. The
reduction of prices of raw material
was especially marked. This general
lowering it was believed, indicated a
drop in food prices soon.
The board said there had been a
pronounced checking" Of speculation
as we'll as a definite, although slight
increase in general efficiency and an
equally positive yet limited curtail
ment of extravagant expenditure and
unnecessary borrowing" There has
been also Sustained tendency" tc
pay off loans secured by Government
and other bonds and securities.
Price changes have been most no
ticeable in wool, silk and leather
These reductions are said to have
been accompanied generally by a cor
responding drop of retail prices o.
clothing, shoes and several other sta
| pies.

WOMEN NEED SWAMP ROOT

Thousands of women have kidney and
bladder trouble and never suspect it.
Womens' complaints often prove to be
nothing else but kidney trouble, OF the
result of kidney or bladder disease.
If the kidneys are not in a healthy
condition, they may cause the other or
gans to become diseased.
Pain in the back, headache, loss of am
bition, nervousness, are often times symp-
toms of kidney trouble.
Don't delay starting treatment. DR..
