THE MARKETING COSTS
 OF FOOD IS TOO H.GK
Federal Trade Commission Plans f( Lower the Ost of Living ii it
 is Possible.

Washington, April IA - Declaring that the costs of food distribution are too greats the Federal Trade Commis- sion today recommended improved marketing facilities and processes at the great consuming centers as d long step toward lowering the high cost of living
 The movement of food should be made most direct from field to fac tory,' the commission declared in a report on wholesale marketing ot food, one of the series in the food price investigation orderd by the pres ident
 Elimination of unnecessary costs and losses in food distribution, the re port added, would not only "act as a counter agent in checking disparity in food prices and money incomes, but would strengthen the nations posi- tion in it's competition for world trade.
 The report says that the rapid rise in food prices in recent years it not so significant as that the money in- comes of large numbers have fallen far short of a proportional increase.
 The weekly wage of union organized labor in 1918 bought but 77 per cent (according to the Department of La bor) as much food as in 1913. The larger number of incomes do not fall within this organized group and are much slower to respond to the pres sure of higher cost of lying. More over, these incomes are for the same reason usually less in amount It fol- lows that for very large numbers of people receiving relatively small in- comes, weeks wage in 1918 was pur- chasing much less than 77 per cent of the food it bought in 1913.
 Food absorbs 3S2 per cent of the average American households income. 1t therefore constitutes no inconsider- able part of the wage and salary cost in all production. Of two communi- ties, whose products enter the same markets, otherwise equally, that one which supplies it's working people with food at lower community cost either will pay it's working people a higher real wage or will have marked ad- vantage in underselling the other through lower production costs. Both results may in some measure follow.
 "A wise governmental policy toward the food industries may lower produc- tion and distribution costs, together with the final sale price without pro- portionally increasing governmental costs of food

Take ''Dodson's Liver Tone" Insteadl

and without making you sick, you just go back and get your money.
 If you take calomel today you'll be sick and nauseated tomorrow; be- sides, it may salivate you, while if you take Dodson's Liver Tone you will wake up feeling great, full of ambition and ready for work or play. It is harmless, pleasant and safe to give to children; they like it.

GLAD THAT WOMEN
CAN NOW VOTE
UNCLE TED TELLS CHILDREN
THAT REPUBLICAN PARTY
is MAINLY RESPONSIBLE

"Uncle Ted" said Jack as they left
the dinner table, mother says she
will be able to vote for Warren G.
Harding for president Just like day
dy and she said that you might tell
us a story about how it happens she
can VOTE"
Eyes, jack replied his uncle, sit
looks as though the women of the
United States would be able to vote
this year unless those opposed to it
in Tennessee, the last state to ratify,
should succeed in winning a suit in
court. These people claim that the
Tennessee house of representatives
was not constitutionally organized
when they voted on the suffrage
! question. But that Is a detail. The
fact remains that Tennessee was the
| last state to ratify. that is. it was the
| thirty-sixth one to vote in favor of
! giving the women of the country
the same right of suffrage, as it is
called the constitution of the United
States had to be amended and in or
der to amend the constitution the
amendment had to be passed by the
congress of the United States and
ldlluCu ny lhli ~ -SiA VI Inv hSAty
eight states.
I'm the first place, let me tell you
| that it was a republican congress
that took the first essential action.
| In 1918, when both houses of con-
gress were democratic, the resolu-
ton to submit the equal suffrage
amendment was defeated. In 1919
when both houses were republican,
the resolution was adopted. BY
for the greater part of the support
of the resolution came from republi-
cans and the greater part of the op-
position came from democrats. The
democrats are silent about that part
of the proceedings, and center all
their claims on the fact that the last
state to ratify was democratic.
Tennessee is located in what is
known in politics as the solid
south Tennessee nearly always
votes democratic and everyone au-
/ mits that it is democratic state.
After thirty-five states had ratified
the amendment and only one more
state was needed, the democrats
made every effort to have the thirty
sixth state democratic. After the
ratification by Tennessee the demo-
cratic leaders came out with state
ments and claims that because the
| final state to ratify the amendment
was democratic their party should
receive all the credit"
But how about the other states2"
asked Jack.
81 was just coming to that. The
| first state to ratify was Wisconsin.
This was republican victory and
the vote was cast on June 10, 1919.
Out of the thirty-six state legislat-
ures which ratified the amendment
twenty-six were republican and in
only seven where the democrats had
entire control of both houses of the
| legislature was the suffrage amend
ment ratified. In three others, one
house of the legislature was controll-
ed by republicans and the other by
democrats. Republicans supplied
twenty-six and the democrats only
seven of the ratifying states.

TO EXTEND SERVICE

Twenty thousand business and
professional men in "a states have
banded themselves together to CO.
operate with the Salvation Army in
one of the biggest social service pro-
grams ever attempted in the history
of the United States. The pro-
gram calls for a working Salvation
Army agency in every county in the
"a states. The states included in
this program are all those west of
the Mississippi river and Illinois,
Wisconsin and Minnesota.
A report made public recently by
Lieut., Col. Pebbles formerly in
charge of the Salvation Army activ-
tiles in Iowa and Nebraska, indicates
tina the army now has 1900 agencies
in the "a states These agencies
or branches are known as Salvation
Army Advisory Boards. Each board
,as from ten to twenty active mem
bers.
That the program will be a sue
cess has been demonstrated in Cali
fornia and several other far western
states, where for more than six
months the plan has been tried out.
The same enthusiasm that greeted
the promoters of the plan in Cali
fornia has greeted the program in
the other states. In not one in
stance has the plan met with re-
buff.
The Salvation Army is offering
each community social service at
cost. This means its trained per-
sonnet, its institutions and its vari-
Gus departments and bureaus. In
exchange the community offers to

SUMNER CARE OF INFANTS

OF all the babies born in the
United States from IL to 20 out of
leo die in the first year of Ii > and
the majority of these deaths take
place in the warm summer months.
The great cause of this high death
rate among infants is ignorance on
the part of the persons to whom the
care of children is entrusted
If proper precautions are taken in
care and feeding they can bring their
children safely through this period
The Chief cause of deaths in infants
SIS improper food which will cause
intestinal disorders.
Food easily becomes unfit for use
during the warm months because at
this time the chance of infection
with disease germs is greatest, also
food is more apt to be spoiled by the
heat, the heat also may disturb the
delicate machinery of the child's
body making it less able to resist the
attacks of disease germs or the
poison contained in spoiled food.
If intestinal disorders should oc-
cur bear in mind that any bowel
complaint occurring in babies may be
the sign of the beginning OF serious
illness.
When the baby has diarrhoea eth
er with or without vomiting, stop all
food at once and send for a doctor,
meantime giving the baby plenty of
boiled water to drink. Give no medi
cine until the doctor arrives.

up to this time nine states have
refused, either in one way or anoth-
er, to ratify the amendment. Out
OF these nine, eight are democratic
states. In fact, Tennessee and Ar
kansas are the only states located in
the solid south to agree to ratifica-
tion."
you said that eight democratic
states refused to agree to suffrage"
said Jack. How many republican
states refused?"
only one republican state legis-
latlre, that of Delaware refused to
ratify," answered Uncle Ted, "as
compared with the eight democratic
states. These democratic states
are Alabama, Georgia, Mississippi,
South Carolina, Virginia, Maryland,
North Carolina, and Louisiana"
How many women will be able
to vote this year," asked Ruth
about 26,800,000 women will
have the privilege of going to the
ballot box on November End, just the
same as the men. The republican
party welcomes this addition of vot-
ers with all confidence. We are
certainly not going to be worried
by the noise which the democrats
are making in trying to take the
credit for the suffrage victory. In
addition to thesfact that the major
ity of the states which ratified the
suffrage amendment were republic
can, you should know that those who
worked hardest in the congress OF
the United States for the success of
suffrage were republicans. do
not say this because I am a republic
can but because it is fact and can
be proven by anyone who cares to go
to the trouble OF looking into the lre-
cords of the United States senate
and house OF representatives.
THAT is about all there is to the
suffrage story. Any voter who
wants to know the truth about the
suffrage question will find that there
is no question that the victory is due
chiefly to the efforts of the republi-
cans of the country"
