DHAJLHM AND fONSOIKRN
MI ST NOT HOAltD POOM
With the lealease of the sugar re
strictions, dealers and housewives are
no longer held to the four pounds per
month regulation. However, dealers
are limited to buying their require
ments for 60 days while household
ers can not buy more than a 60, days
supply. The hoarding laws prevent
laying up of supplies.
The rules regarding hoarding and
profiteering will be enforced even,
more stringently than heretofore,
says Food Administrator Wattles.
Any one caught with a greater supply
than they are entitled to will have to
pay the penalty and there will be no
leniency shown.

t
Low Meat Prices
vs.
High Cattle Prices
If the farmer cannot get enough for
his live stock, he raises less, and the
packer gets less raw material.
If the consumer has to pay too much
for his meat, he eats less of it, and the
packer finds his market decreased.
The packer wants the producer to
get enough to make live-stock raising
profitable, and he wants the price of meat
so low that everyone will eat it.
But all he can do, and what he would
have to do in any case to stay in busi
ness, is to keep down the cost of pro
cessing the farmer's stock into meat so
that the consumer pays for the meat and
by-products only a little more than the
farmer gets for his animals.
For example, last year Swift & Company
paid for its cattle about 90 per cent of
what it got for meat and by-products
(such as hides, tallow, oils, etc.)
If cattle from the farm were turned
miraculously into meat in the hands of
retailers (without going through the ex
pense of dressing, shipping and market
ing), the farmer would get only about
1 cents per pound more for his cattle,
or consumers would pay only about 2
cents per pound less for their beef I
Out of this cent or two per pound,
Swift & Company pays for the operation
of extensive plants, pays freight on meats,
operates refrigerator cars, maintains
branch houses, and in most cases, de
livers to retailers all over the United
States. The profit amounts to only a
fraction of a cent, and a part of this
profit goes to build more plants, to give
better service, and to increase the com
pany's usefulness to the country.
Swift & Company, U. S. A.
Washington, D. C -Willi the subsid
ence of the epidemic of Influenza the
attention of health ofllcers Is directed
to pneumonia, bronchitis nnd other
discuses of the respiratory system
which regularly came r inre lumber
of deaths, especially during the winter
season. According to Rupert Blue,
Surgeon General of the United StatM
Public Health Service, these diseases
Will he especially prevalent this win
ter unless the people, are particularly
Careful to obey health Instructions.
"The present epidemic." said Sur
geon General Blue, "has tnught by hit
ter experience how readily a condition
beginning apparently as a slight cold
way go on to pneumonia and death.
Although the worst of the epidemic Is
over, there will continue On be a large
number of scattered cases, many of
them mild and unrecognized, which
will be danger spots to be guarded
against," The Surgeon General likened
the present situation to that after n
great nre, saying, "No Are chief who
understands his business stops playing
the hose on the charred debris as soon
as the flames snd visible fire have die
appeared. On the contrary, he con
tinues the water for hours and even
days, for he knows that there Is dan
ger of the Are rekindling from sraol
Cerlng embers."
"Then you fear another outbreak ot
Influenza?" he was asked. "Not neces
sarily another large epidemic," said
the Surgeon General, "but unless tlx
people learn to realize the seriousness
of the danger they will be compelled to
pay a heavy death toll from pneumo
nia and other respiratory diseases.
Common Colds Highly Catching.
"It Is encouraging to observe that
people are beginning to learn that or
dinary coughs and colds are highly
catching and sre spread from person
to person by means of droplets of
germ laden mucus. Such droplets are
sprayed Into the air when careless or
Ignorant people cough or sneeze with
out covering their mouth and nose. It
Is also good to know that people have
learned something about the value of
fresh air. In 'summer, when people
are largely out of doors, the respira
tory diseases (coughs, colds, pneumo
nia, etc.) are Infrequent ; in the fall,
as people begin to remain Indoors, the
respiratory diseases Increase; In the
winter, when people are prone to stay
in badly ventilated, overheated moms,
the respiratory diseases become very
prevalent.
Suitable Clothing important.
"Still another factor in the produc
tion of colds, pneumonia and other re
spiratory diseases Is carelessness or lg
norance of the people regarding suit
able clothing during the seasons when
the weather suddenly changes, sitting
In warm rooms too heavily dressed or,
what Is even more common, especially
among women, dressing so lightly that
windows sre kept closed In order to be
comfortably warm. This Is a very In
jurious practice.
Could Save 100,000 Lives.
"I believe we could easily save one
hundred thousand lives anuually Id
the United States If all the people
would adopt the system of fresh all
living followed, for example, In tuber
culosls sanatoria. There Is nothing
mysterious about It no specific medi
cine, no vaccine. The Important thing
Is right living, good food and plenty ol
fresh air.
Droplst Infection Explained In Plcturea
"The Bureau of Public Health,
Treasury Department, lias Just issued
a striking poster drawn by Berryman,
the well-known Washington cartoonist
The poster exemplifies the modero
method of health education. A few
years ago, under similar circumstances,
the health authorities would have Is
sued sn official dry but scientifically
accurate bulletin teaching the role ol
droplet infection in the spread of re
spiratory diseases. The only ones whe
would have understood the bulletin
would have been those who already
knew all about the subject The man
In the street, the plain citizen and the
many millions who toll for their living
would have bad no time and no desirs
to wade through the technical phraseology."
