not sufficient supplies of sugar, the
Department could increase it by
raising the marketing and import
quotas.
Secretary Wallace, when asked
whether there was any justice" from
the consumers standpoint for sharp
advances in wheat, corn, lard, live
stock, sugar and many other COM
modities, told reporters:
us it fair for American consumers
to ask farmers to produce indefi-
nitely at prices below parity?"
Secretary Wallace then cited fig
ures to show that today's farm prices
of major food products, while con-
siderably higher than before the
European tension developed, were
below the so-called parity" or fair
price" goal sought for producers
under farm legislation.
parity prices are those which,
officials explained, would give a
farm commodity purchasing pow
er in terms of non-farm products
and services equal to those of the
1909-14 period)
Estimatin the farm price of wheat
today at 73 cents bushel, Mr.. Wal
lace said the parity price was $1.10.
Lard prices, almost so per cent high
er than a month ago, were said to
average about rs cents a pound to-
day compared with parity price of
IL cents and 964 cents for the past
10-year average. Eggs were said to
average about 20 cents a dozen on
the farm today compared with
parity price of 81 cents.
Mr.. Wallace said he was in no po-
sition to say whether or not there
were any "unjustified markups' in
prices by some food distributors.

"BuiId-Up": Way to
Ease Women's Pain

Many weak, rundown women are
in a vicious circle. Their under
nourishment often leads to what is
called functional dysmenoyrhea and
its symptoms = headaches, nerv-
BUSINESS, irritability, intermittent
cramp-like pains-from which many
women suffer. Surest way to break
the vicious circle is by building
strength and energy, which so many
find may be done with the help of
CARDUI. 1t stimulates appetite,
aids digestion, and thus helps in
this "build-up" of physical resis-
tance. Women also report that, if
taken just before and during "the
time," CARDUI helps to ease the
pain and discomfort of the period.
