HIGHER PRICES
T0C0NTINUE,
ISFORECAST
International News Service

Higher prices against which
various Government officials have
been warning are going to be re
Elected in the housewives market
basket for several months, accord.
ing to the Bureau of Agricultural
Economics.
Beefsteak is going to be higher,
pork chops to cost more, leg of
lamb is on the price incline, and
flour will continue at least at cur
rent levels if prices of the finished
product follow the trend of raw
materials, reports Of the bureau
said today.
The bureaus spring outlook re-
ports said:
Higher hog prices this summer,
following a spring period of little
change in prices, were forecast.
Basis for the forecast is the pros
pect for reduced hog slaughter
during the remainder of the mar
keting year ending September 80
next as compared with the CORE
spending period for 1886, and for
continued improvement in domes-
tic consumer demand for hog
products.
Prices of nearly all grades of
slaughter cattle are expected to
average higher this year than last,
and they may be higher than in
1885. Prices of the better grades
OF slaughter cattle probably will
advance somewhat further from
present relatively high levels. The
market supply Of heavy, well-fin-
ished cattle has been sharply re-
duced in the last two months;
further reduction is reported
likely since the number of cattle
on feed this winter has been much
below average.
Hogher prices Of lambs this
spring compared with last were
forecast. The early spring lamb
crop was reported at about 10
per cent smaller than a year ago.
With below normal world carry
over stocks in prospect in July,
1887, world wheat prices are ex-
pected to continue at high levels.

These stars must have a lot of joy
To have such friendly light.

The big bright moon you see
This moon must be as big as the

But yet it seems as small as me.

I love to sit and watch the stars
that shine all through the night.

What does a mustard plaster do /?

What does a mustard plaster do /?
Two Japanese, Hiro and Yamada,
have made an investigation. The
local reddening with reflex cir
culatory improvement was well
known but they wished to deter
mine if the effect was even more
far reaching. Their work was
done on rabbits but was so con-
trolled that results are applicable
to mankind.
They found that the mustard
poultice applied for a short time
as is done therapeutically, in
creased the number of white blood
cells in the circulating blood. This
increase was prompt but subsidized
within day. Of the various types
of white cells increased, the type
that destroys germs pedominated
and this type showed an increase
in ability to attack and destroy
germs.
Hiro and Yamada concluded
from their experimentation that
the poultice acted similar to un-
specific protein therapy (injectior
into the body of such substances
as milk, etc., with stimulation OF
body defenses against disease. In
light of this parallelism much OF
most of what we have learned
about foreign protein therapy
would be applicable; namely, over
stimulation is dangerous.

Health and
Hygiene
The Mustard POultice
By DR.. W. D. Brown

At some time in life, everyone
either has had a mustard plaster
applied to some part of his an
atomy or has been the recipient of
such advice. In fact, the majority
Of adults have skin burn, faint
or prominent, which is traceable to
the over-zealous application of
mustard to the skin. Any ailment,
trivial or severe, caused such
poulticing. In recent years, there
has been a decline in confidence in
the universally of this former
panacea. It has been relegated to
its proper place in the arma-
mentarium of the practice of
medicine.
St. Paul recorder. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1934-2000, 1937-01-08

One other situation that threat
ems the equilibrium of our people
is the growing restlessness of la
Dor in the face of conditions en-
forced by Big Business. Already
many thousands of workers have
given up their jobs or have been
compelled by the exigencies of the
labor war to give them up. In the
face of the demands of the unions
for a larger share in the dividends
which they, in company of bust
ness, have created and the stub
born refusal of capitalists to grant
such concessions, the will to peace
is shaken and the future is dark
with ominous fears.
While congress wrestles with
the problems envisioned above we
may not forget that it shall have
called to it's attention still another
in which the colored citizens of
these United States are even more
vitality concerned. Lawlessness still
prevails in the southland. The lives
of our people are yet unsafe.
Southern states cannot or will not
provide the needed protection.
Congress will be asked to enact an
anti-lynching law that will bring
the national government on the
side of law and order. Congress
has been asked to do this before.
It has not done so largely because
we, the people most concerned,
have not put into the asking the
needed insistence. Let us not fail
this time. Let us in Minnesota take
the lead in petitioning our law
makers in congress to work for
such a measure when it is proposed.
Let our ministers and our church
people; let our civic' leaders, our
social leaders, our club women,
our men in the street stand united
ly behind such a demand; a de-
mand so just that no congressman
with a heart may refuse. A de-
mand so vital that no congressman
with an eye to his future useful
ness will willingly ignore.

history of this war-torn world
these words indicate the conditions
of human thinking. Perhaps never
more so than today. Never before
has the worlds population been so
unitedly intent. upon preserving
peace by the adjustment of war.
Yet never before has the POSSIBLE
ty of escaping war been less sure.
The most hopeful factor in a
most critical situation is the at
titude of the United States. Here
both people and government are
adamantly set to maintain the
peace as far as it is humanity pos
sible so to do.
Congress, which convenes this
week, will face among it's imme-
date duties that of enacting neu-
trality law to replace the nearly
expired present law. This will seek
to prevent our country from tax
ing sides in any foreign war be-
tween nations or in any civil war.
1t will prohibit shipment of NUM-
tons of war or Of goods that may
be transferred into such material.
1t will restrict trade and credit to
such warning peoples and may
even go so far as to prevent Amer
lean citizens from travelling on the
ships of nations at war.
The only expected controversy
over such action in congress will
come over the amount of discre-

There are still in the congress

power.

danger lies in the Spanish conflict,
