MAKING PLANS
TO STABILIZE
BUTTER PRICE
Meeting Held in Washington
to Uphold Market From Ex
pected Slump Due to
Use of Substitutes.
Stabilization of the butter market
is being attempted, according to a
wire from Herbert Hoover to Gur-
don W. Wattles, federal food ad
ministrator for Nebraska. The dis
patch says:
"A conference was held by Mr.
Hoover Saturday with some 50
leading representatives of the dairy
interests, including members of the
agricultural advisory board, to con
sider the present situation in the
dairy prducts. It was the unani
mous opinion of the meeting that
in view of the large army, navy, and
allied demands, that there was a
temporary shortage in products, es
pecially butter, in the market.
"It was also agreed that the pres
ent prices of butter not only bear
hard upon the consumer, but are
not. in the best interests of the pro
ducer as it tends to diminish con
sumption and to permanently stim
ulate the increased consumption of
margarine, which is about one half
the price.
Agree Slump Will Come.
"It was agreed that these condi
tions would sooner or later produce
a collapse in butter prices to a point
possibly below the cost of produc
tion. It was considered essential
for stable condition of the industry
that when such a fall did occur that
the government purchases should
be used to support the market at a
reasonable level.
'"A committee consisting of Prof.
Clyde L. King of Pennsylvania,
Charles Brand, Urbana, O.; I. In
gersoll, Elyria, O.; Ex-governor
Warner of Michigan, G. R. Rice,
Wisconsin; Frank Kingsley, la.;
W. F. Shilling of Minnesota and
Robert Scovijle, Connecticut, was
appointed by the meeting and ap
proved by Mr. Hoover, to co-operate
with the other advisory com
mittees of the administration and to
further consider the situation and
to advise with the Food administra
tion as to what action should be
taken to stabilize the situation. The
new committee adjourned to meet
again at a later date and in the mean
im. tn tmetinrat a wl rrMlcirtpr flip
many factors involved."

"For six years we have used Dr. Caldwell's
Syrup Pepsin in our family and feel we
could not possibly do without it, especially
for the children." (From a letter to Dr.
Caldwell written by Mrs. Earl Cowell, Ce
ment City, Mich.)
Children become constipated as readily
as do their elders, and the result is equally dis
tressing. Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is ideal
for children because of its pleasant taste, posi
tive, yet gentle, action, and its freedom from
opiates and narcotic drugs.

Harry S. Byrne Enjoys
Life at Camp Johnson
, Harry S. Byrne writes from Camp
Johnston, Fla., that he arises at 4:45
a. m. and "hits the hay" at nine
bells, p. m. So far as he has gone
with his mi'itary training, he avers
that it is "the lilt."
If you care for heavy hair, that
glistens with beauty and is radiant
with life; has an incomparable
softness and is fluffy and lustrous,
trv Danderine.
Just one application doubles the
beauty of your hair, besides it im
mediately dissolves every particle of ;
dandruff; you cannot have nice,
heavy, healthy hair if you have dan
druff. This destructive scurf robs
the hair of its lustre, its strength
and its very life, and if not over
come it produces a feverishness and
itching of the scalp; the hair roots
famish, loosen and die; then the
hair falls out fast.
If you hair has been neglected
and is thin, faded, dry, scraggy or
too oily, get a small bottle of
Knowlton's Danderine at any drug ;
store or toilet counter for a few .
cents; apply a little as directed, j
and ten minutes after you will say
this was the best investment you
ever made.
We sincerely believe, regardless
of everything else advertised, that
if you desire soft, lustrous, beauti
ful hair and lots of it no dandruff
no itching scalp and no more fall
ing hair you must use Knowlton's
Danderine. If eventually why not
now? Adv.
