I. 17-11 THE LANCASTER NE^ COMMISSION NAMED TO FIX CONTROL OF MEAT Policy May Include Price-Fixing and Federal Control of the Packing Houses. Washington, April 4.?Determination of a national policy governing meat production, sale and distribution during the war, which may include virtual price-fixing aud definite control or actual federal operation of the big packing houses, has been entrusted by President Wilson to a SDeeial commission of llv?* nrnminunt government officials. This step was taken at the recommendation of Food Administrator Hoover, who advised the President that he found himself powerless to protect properly all branches of the cattle industry, and that the government's present course is "almost intolerable in criticism from both producer and consumer." The food administrator suggested, and President Wilson now has approved the plan, that a national poli-| cy be determined by the following! officers, acting personally or through j authorized delegates; the secretary] of agriculture, representing the viewpoint of the producer; the chairman of the federal trade commission, representing the influence of trade conditions; the chairman of the United States tariff board, representing! economic mouRiu; tne secretary of labor, representing the viewpoint of i the civilian consumer, and the food | administrator. Who has to carry out any plan adopted. Mr. Hoover submitted his proposal to the President in a letter, he declared some change in the government's present course was necessary for the protection of the producer ana civilian consumer, and to insure the increased production required to meet the growing needs of the army and the allies. "This change in policy may take the form of more definite and systematic direction of the large packers is to the course they are to pursue! Trom month to month." wrote the ad-| ministrator. "or may even take th?'j ....... ui u|in,iuuii tn iiii" parsing establishments by the government." Pointing out that the increased luantitles needed for export must be obtained either by greater production or by reduction in civilian consumption. and probably by both. Mr. Hoover expressed the opinion that reduced consumption can be had most equitably by voluntary sacrifice and moderate restraints such as meatless days, and emphatically disapproved any attempt to lessen consumption I by increasing prices to the public. "Such conservation is obtained by the elimination of that section of the community with the least purchasing power." he wrote the President. "I recognize fully the well-founded objection to price-fixing but where tlie purchases of war necessities in i given commodity have reached mch a volume that the purchase of these commodities trench into the domestic situation, the operation of this purchasing power becomes a condition of price-fixing, and, to my mind, all theories go by the board " Mr. Hoover said three courses were pen in the matter of the control of meats: to abandon direction of war purchases and conservation measures because they affect price, and thereby to stimulate profiteering and speculation. To continue the present unsatisfactory direction of large purchase or to stabilize prices based upon cost of production at a fair and stimulative profit to tlie producer and with stabilization to eliminate speculative risks and wasteful practices. The latter policy. Mr. Hoover said, would support in assuring the producer fair returns. "This course is also fraught with dangers," he argued, "It lead either to a voluntary agreement with the packers as to prices to be pafid producers and charged to consumers from time to time! or, to actual operation of the packing plants by the government. "It will mean that all the complaints of trade fall upon the government. The choice of alternatives Is one of determination of the maximum contribution to winnjng the war and the choice of the leaser economic evil between such alternatives."

Notwithstanding the ajnusing statements one reads in the newspapers by some people trying to foist manufactured articles on a confiding public. Ironized Paw-Paw stands out boldly with a dependable record of nearly a quarter of a century. It is not a "cure-all." but prepared simply for what we claim and no more. Thousands upon thousands of letters containing the warmest praise reach our headquarters, and while we do not believe in nremlariiniio publishing of testimonials we occasionally feel compelled to give one as follows: Mr. A. F. Meister. an upholsterer by trade, living at 2211 Wheat street, Columbia. S. C.. says: "I suffered from indigestion, liver troubles and constipation so that I could not eat nor sleep after any fashion. I saw your Ironized Taw-Paw advertised in the newspapers, but was at first somewhat skeptical, having tried so many ready-made medicines; however, 1 obtained a bottle and used it according to directions. 1 table- " spoonful half an hour before meals, and in a few days before using up the first bottle I felt so much better mat 1 wisn to congratulate you on having such a splendid remedy. I am sleeping well again and my indigestion has disappeared. I need not tell you I shall continue the treatment which has made me feel so much better." If you are suffering from any troubles similar to Mr. Melster there is no reason why you should not obtain the same relief as he has had. Step into the nearest druggist and obtain a bottle. If he is not up-todate call at any leading drug store. Formula on every bottle. Price for 15-ounce bottle only $1.00. Attention given to mail orders. Interstate Drug Co., Inc., New York.?
