PRICE FIXED ON
METAL COIL AND
FLAT BEDSPRINGS

Z. P. Winter, Price Panel Char
man, announced today that the
Office of Price Administration
has fixed a dollar and-cents price
on used metal coil and flat bed
springs which became effective
as of May 26. 1913. In some crowd
ed war centers this commodity
has been selling for more than the
original cost.
Limited production of new bed
springs and an unusually large
demand for used springs, OPA of
ficials said, brought about the
necessity for ceilings, which are
established at wholesale and re-
tail The new regulation applies
TO five types of springs, and re-
quires retailers to attach a tag
TO each spring indica' ing its maxi
mum price. A sale by one person
to another comes under the regu-
lation, as do sales at auction.
The five types are LISTED as link
wire fabric, crimp top coil. cable
wire and steel band top, single
deck coil, and fully double deck
coil. Wholesale price ceilings on
these range from $l.50 for the
first type, to $500 for the latter,
and retail prices are $3.50 to $3.50,
depending on type.
Retonditioned" bedsprings are
identified as those which. meet
these requirements: properly
aligned frame. replacement or re-
pair of missing or damaged parts,
secure fastening of all parts,
proper alignment of top surface,
and complete repainting of bed
spring. 's
Such '.reconditioned' springs
cannot sell for more than $3.50
$500 at wholesale, or $7.00-S 12 90
at retail, the highest price in each
case being the double deck coil
type only.
Use of devices for effecting
higher prices without actually
raising the dollars and cents levels,
such as bulk and combination
sales, commissions. and premiums
is prohibited by the regulation.

When the taxes became delin-

The skin takes quite a severe beat
ing during the winter. The cold all
is dry, and so is the air of heated
house. The skin itself Secretes
less sweat and oil than it does in
summer, and frequent baths with
soap add the final touch of injury
to the skin.
Soaps generally contain some
free alkali, which is good for dirt,
but irritating to the skin. The
drier skins begin to have trouble
earliest in the season, and the
oilier skins may hold out till
spring. But sooner or later most
people suffer from what is popu-
larly called bath Itch.
The major characteristic of both
itch is that it begins after bathing.
The itching usually occurs on the
lower half of the body, from the
hips down. The arms are occaS-
sionally involved also. The sensa-
ton of itching may vary from the
mild kind to one of the most intense
misery, associated with burning. 1t
lasts from Is to 20 minutes to more
than an hour, and gradually sub
sides. There may not be notice

the skin, but occasionally it does
become scaly and slightly Redeemed

be accomplished by emitting the
daily bath. This is not wholly prac-
teal among gregarious people for
obvious reasons. The use Of So
