REGULATION OF
WHEAT PRICE TO
1920JS ASKED
Congress- Asked to Pass Law
. v Which Will protect
Government Against
Loss by Imports.
Washington, Dec. 26. Legislation
to ! make effective the wheat price
guarantee for the 1919 crop and at
the same time to safeguard the gov
ernment against' losses was recom
mended to congress today by the
Department of Agriculture and the
food administration.
A memorandum sent to Represen
tative Lever of South Carolina,
cluirman of the house agricultural
committee, made the following re
commendations: First Extension hv congress be
yond June 1, 1920, of the date for
tt government purchase of the 1919
crop.
Second Continuance of the food
administration's grain corporation,
or creation of a new agency to
buy, store and sell 1919 wheat that
may be offered to the government
and;
Third Possible legislative pro
visions to protect the government
against wheat or tlour brought in
from other countries during the
period ofeffcctiveness of the guar-
, anteed price and also to protect
buyers of such wheat as long as the
wheat is in this country and not
consumed.
, Approved By President.
The memorandum was compiled
with the approval of President Wil
son, and Secretary Houston in sub
mitting it said, "the government has
made a guarantee and it goes with
out saying that it must be made ef
fective." . , , , L
Regarding extension of the date
of government purchase, the mem
orandum said:
. vIt will be impossible to carry
out the guarantee as it is intended
by June 1. 1920, and if producers
cannot sell their wheat to the
United States before that date and
are left with wheat on hand, it will
M felt that the obligaion of the
United States has not bee carried
out in good faith."
"The government purchasing
agency," 'he n.eniorandum set forth,
"mv have ample funds to at all
t' lies purchase throughout the Unit
ed States at the guaranteed price
uch wheat of the 1919 crop as may
. b offered to it, a:id a" . to provide
storage facilities to take' care of the
same by lease on purchase of facili
ties now in existence or by building
additional facilities, or both.
"The appropriation will have to
be on a basis-4fi enable the guaran
tc price to be maintained at all
times by purchase of wheat with
funds provided by the government
"'and without relying on outside cred
it" Largi Stocks on Farms.
The fjaod administration grain cor
poration is maintaining the price for
' the 1918 crop with its capital of
$150,000,000 and its credits, com
bined with the export demand for
. wheat. The 1918 crop is estimated
it 917.100,000 bujhels and on Novem
ber 29, last, the movement from the
farms amounted to 588,000,000, of
which 254,000000 was in storage.
"It will be observed," said the
memorandum, "that there is a very
large amount of the 1918 crop yet
to be moved from the farms, and it
will take all the resources of the
grain corporation and the most care
ful attention to every detail to carry
-out the guaranteed price for the crop
of 1918. In fact, if the export de
mand should diminish, it may be
. necessary that there be afurther ap
propriation by congress."
The carrying out of the guaranteed
price for the 1919 crop presents a
much more difficult situation, it was
pointed out, because the winter
wheat acreage is about 9.000,000
acres larger than that for 1918, and
if an increase in spring wheat is
planted, the harvest of 1919 may be
in excess of that of 1918.
' .'.' Basis For Action.
rrnnri if 1918 wheat is estimated
at fbout 310,000,000. a larger hgure
than can be expected for the 1919.
crop, because of shipments from
Canada, Australia, India and Argen
tina. Domestic consumption of the
1919 crop, including the seed wheat
reserve, the memorandum stated,
cannot exceed 640,000-000 bushels as
a minimum. The possible 1919 crop
' was fixed at 1,114,500,000 bushels, of
.'which 90,000,000 would be for seed
requirements, 550,000,0 bushels for
domestic consumption, leaving 474
500,000 for export.
The 1919 crop for export, lbwas
pointed out. might sell in competi
tion with that from other countries
at a price considerably lower than
the guaranteed price, which prob
ably would result in similar reduc
tions at home.

Germans Have Lean Fare
For Christmas Dinner
As-For All Other Meals
Supplies of Foodstuffs So Short in Larger Cities That
Illegitimate Traffic in Them Ceases; Dinner
Without Coffee in Restaurant on Unter
den Linden Coasts 62 Marks.
By Associated Press.
Berlin, Dec. 26. The Germani,
particularly those living in the larg
er cities, had lean fare for their
Christmas dinners.
So much has been said about the
food situation that is understand
able if there is an impression that
the situation has been exaggerated.
Here, however, there is one excel
lent barometer of the situation name
ly, "schlechthandel," as illegitimate
trafficking in foodstuffs is termed,
and this is beginning to diminish
markedly. ,
A month ago it was possible to
buy butter, sausages and some other
articles from these dealers at high
prices. During the last fortnight,
however, it has become increasingly
difficult to find these things and even
the best "connections and sources"
are now unable to produce more
than occasional small portions at
greatly increased prices.
Ham Sold for 540 Marks.
When the crafty1 dealers in this
business cannot longer secure ar
ticles, there can hardly be a doubt
that it is because they do not exist.
Wealthy people, it is true, can still
obtain limited quantities of what
used to be considered necessities, but
are now considered luxuries, though
at terrifying prices. In one partic
ular case a man in Berlin paid 540
marks for a ham, the eggs to go
with it costing three marks apiece.
A dinner recently purchased at an
Unter den Linden restaurant, con
sisting of thin soup, fish, meat and
a baked apple, cost 62 marks. Coffee
would have cost three marks addi
tional. What such prices mean can besi
be realized when it is considered
that the highest daily wage of a
skilled German mechanic rarely
reaches 20 marks.
Cannot Exist on Rations.
Those in the poorer walks of life
all declare that it is absolutelyim
possible to keep body and soul to
gether on the rations distributed on
food cards. The correspondent can
declare on personal knowledge that
it was impossible, even in the winter
of 1916-1917, to exist on the official
rations. In , other words, nearly
everyone was compelled to resort
to "schlechthandel."
Another factor in the food situa
tion is the lack of fat. Even after
such a meal as cost 62 marks, one
becomes hungry, even ravenously
hungry, within two or three hours.
"When I get myweekly allowance
of 50 grammes of butter," said one
woman in discussing the food ques
tion, "I spread it all on one slice
of bread, so as to have one real meal
every week."
Hunger Never Appeased.
It is the normal state of every
German, at least in the larger cities,
to be continuously hungry. A keen
political observer said to the As
sociated Press:
"I I had 60,000 tons of fat I could
everlastingly squelch bolshevism in
Germany, and if I had some con
densed milk, too, I could set up al
most any kind of government ex
cept the one we used to have."
It is not only thSt food is so dear
as to be out of reach of the poorer
classes almost completely, but all
articles oT clothing are correspond
ingly dear. The correspondent was
offered 600 marks for an overcoat,
which was purchased in Berlin in
1916.for 178 marks.
AT THE
THEATERS
ROCK AND WHITE are now
definitely scheduled to appear
at the Boyd for the week of
January 12. This is after a number
of changes and switches have been
made in the date, due to illness of
the principals, an appendix and a
few other things such as disturb
the even flow of the amusement cur
rents. This pair of dancers have
with them an organization that was
given approval in Chicago, and
which will probably be welcomed in
Omaha.
The bill headed by the Six Kirk
smith sisters and the performing
water lions and diving girls at the
Orpheum this week is one of tl.e
best of the season. On Sunday
comes Wilbur Mack, actor-playwright,
in his newest comedy, "A
Pair of Tickets." Another topline
feature will be the nautical musical
comedy, "Married via Wireless."
The electrical effects and scenic in
vestiture are features of this of
fering. The principals in this at
traction will be Queenie Williams
and William Pollard.
"A Man Without a Country" be
gan its week-end stay at the Bran
ded last night. This is a moving
picture elaboration of Edward Ever
ett Hale's famous story, in which the
fault of Philip Nolan and the pun
ishment visited on him is shown in
a vivid manner. The exhibition was
watched by a gathering of interest
ed spectators last night, who gave it
a verdict of approval.
Three more performances of
"Darkest America" will be given at
the Boyd by the Smarter Set, this in
cluding the matinee on Saturday. In
this piece the well known comedians,
Whitney and Tutt, are supported by
a splendid singing and dancing or
ganization, and a quality of enter
tainment hard to beat is the result.
The Burlesque Review will con
tinue distributing yuletide joy this
afternoon and evening at the Gayety.

bia Circuit attraction makes its an
nual bow The Bowery Burlesquers

Packers Pinch Odd
Pennies on Wages, Says
Kansas City Witness
Chicago, Dec. 26.. At the hearing
of packing house employes for wage
increases before Federal Judge Al
schuler today, Miss Ethel Kelly of
Kansas City testified that a woman's
coat that cost $1475 a year ago now
costs $35. She also said that when
working on piece work the packing
houses withheld the odd pennies
from the employes. If a worker
earned $2.87 a day on piece work,
they only got $2.85, she said.
Mrs. Edna Wheeler of Kansas

worked 10 hours daily. This sum
was insufficient, the witness said,

stores to ascertain the differences,
if any, in the cost of food and cloth
ing in Kansas City and Chicago.

are to be centered. Surgical dress
ings and hospital garments are prac
tically finished, according to Frank
W. Judson, Nebraska director, who
returned from Chicago to pass
Christmas with his family. Mr.
Judson was called there to direct
the Christmas roll call for central
division and will return to Chicago
in a few days to complete the work.
"World policies of the American
Red Cross arc now occupying head
officials. Henry P. Davison, nation
al chairman, made a second trip to
Europe to settle plans for peace ef
forts. The outlook is Italy, France
and Great Britain will assume their
own Red Cross work. The Ameri
can Red Cross probably will go into
Russia, Siberia, Armenia, Syria,
Roumania and Serbia. ,
Central division leads the country
in the number of increases in new
memberships and per capita as a
whole, according to Mr. Judson. Ne
braska and Iowa are a tie in per
capita memberships, with Michigan
close behind.

INFLUENZA STILL
CLAIMING VICTIMS
by THE THOUSANDS
Epidemic Breaking Out Anew
from One End of Country
to the Other.
Warning to the country that th
Influenza epidemic is by no mean
ened, and that all possible precau
tions against the disease should be
taken has just been issued by the
public health authorities at Washington.
Late reports show that the dis
ease is breaking out anew in its
very worst form from practically
one end of the country to the other.
Already there have been over 300,
000 deaths' from the disease and I
one prominent health official pre- V
dicts that there will possibly be
750,000 deaths in this country next
year from Influenza and the ail
ments which follow it. The disease .
has been very baffling to the med-'
ical profession and health authori
ties frankly admit that ordinary
preventive measures such as wear
ing of masks and closing public
places seem of little avail.
Persons who are weak and. run
down, and who have not the -strength
to throw off the Influenza
germ, are the earliest victims.
Those who catch colds easily or who
are suffering from catarrhal trou
bles are also early victims, as the
inflamed mucous membrane linings
of the nose and throat are an open
door to the germs. If you are suf
ferig from any of these symptoms,
nothing will build you up and for
tify your system against attack like (
Tanlac, which contains the most
powerful tonic properties know.iv
to science. This statement is eas- -t
ily proven by the fact that this cel
ebrated medicine is now having the
greatest sale of any system tonic in
the history of medicine. It lhas
been accomplishing remarkable re
sults during the present epidemic
and hundreds of thousands who
have used it are enjoying the best
of health. One prominent physician
in Texas frankly stated that he had
found Tanlac to be the finest tonic
to be had for building up his pa
tients who had had Influenza.
Actual experience has shown that
the best way to keep from taking'.
Influenza is to keep the system m
eood shape, as it is a well known
fact that the powers of resistance
of the human system can be so per
fected that it can throw off almost
any infection, not even excepting
Spanish Influenza, which is one of
the most contagious diseases known.
Tanlac increases your strength
and weight and creates a good.
healthy appetite for nourishing .
food. It keeps you physicaly fit -1
and makes you strong, vigorous and
well, and in this way fortifies you
against deadly disease germs. In
connection with the Tanlac treat
ment, be sure to keep th bowels
open by ftaking Tanlac Laxative
Tablets.
Tanlac is sold in Omaha by all !
