S.A.i SAYS FARMER MUST BE PROTECTED NOW Hoover Points to Chief Problem of the Hour VAST SUPPLIES ON HAND Says Real Solution Lies in the Hope of an Early Pe tce. Paris, Jan. 26.--Herbert Hoover, United States food :administrator and director general of the international relief organization, gave out the fol lowing statement to lay: "The dominating food problem in the United States at this moment is a very much bigge! problem than the Chicago packers. It iq a problem of the American farmer. "If the packer's profits of 2 to 3 per cent on his turnover is too high, it is the duty of Congress to tax it out of him. If the farmerst prices threaten to fall below the level of a fair return, it behooves the country to do some quick, clear thinking. Farmer Comes First. "The perplexities arising out of in ability to demobilize totally the food situation of the world in the period between the armistice and peace make the farmers' position in the mat ter of much more imnmdiate concern than the future of the Chicago pack ers. Taking it broadly, before the Euro-j pean war began, we exported about 5,000,000 tons of food a year. This year we are prepared to export at the rate of from 15,000,000 to 20,000, 000 tons. The increase represents the patriotic service of the American farmer under the stimulation of the pleas from the Allied governments that without an enormous increase in our food supplies their very lives v ould be menaced. Cut Short by U-Boats. "The submarine had so shortened the world's shipping that the Allies were unable to reach the distant mar kets of the Southern hemisphere, and we were bound to create in America sufficient food to carry Europe. If the war had gone on, every pound of it and more would have been required by the Allies before next harvest. "The armistice came suddenly, free ing shipping from military use and re opening to the Allies the cheaper Southern hemisphere and the colonial markets, where in addition they could have more liberal credits and markets for their manufacture. Difficult Situation. "We are thus faced with a serious problem with respect to our own great supplies, patriotically accumulated. If an early peace is signed and the mar kets of Europe are opened freely to trade, there will be a greater demand for food from the new mouths than ever this surplus coufdsupply. But in the period between the armistice s.nd peace we have a very difficult situation. "One of the most critical food shortages in the world was that in fats, and the only help lay in an in grease in the American hoir. Our atr riculture department and the food ad ministration spared no efiorts to stimulate this production. Our farm ers were assured that in the general shortage, subject only to the uncer tainties of war, they would experience no difficulty in marketing their prod ets. Due to the saving of our peo ".1 and the gradual increased nroduc tion of our farms, we have lifted our ability to export from. 50,000,000 pounds of fat per month in the sum mer of 1917 to 400.000,000 pounds per month in this January. Packers' Profits. "To achieve this mobilization of fats it was necessary to mobilize the nackers as wvell as the farmers. There is no doubt that the vast volume of business brought profit to the packers, ilthough at a less percentage than before the food administration took charge of it. "The Allied nations, in order to effect regular sunplies to their people in the face of short shipping andl to p~rovidle for government rationing, were compelled to take over the en tire purchase of these food sunplies and thereby abandon the ordinary flowv of tradle and commeree. In con sequence they concentrated their buy ing through agancies and the powver of these buying agencies wvas so great that they controlled the price.

"Othe factors have entered into the situatio For instance, . the inactive armies nd munition workers are con suming less fats and thp vegetable is freed for human consumption. This came upon us immediately with the armistice in early November, in the midst of our heaviest hog marketing season, which last from October until March. When I left home for Europe ih November this proolem was al ready facing me as one among many others for which assistance had to be found, in the protection of our American farmers, lest from failure to find a market for his products dur ing the armistice and pending the wider markets of peace his prices might fall below his cost of produc tion, entailing great waste of surplus commodities. Protection for Farmers. "We have found it possible to pro tect the American farmer in the two and one-half months since the armis tice. This we have done by cooperat ing with the Allies, in opening wider markets to neutral countries and by relief shipments into the liberated territories. The next and last six weeks of the high fat production sea son wili- be still more diflicu!t to manage, as peace can 'not be expe ted in that time, restoring extended a r kets. "On the other hand, five-sixths of this problem is already completed and by next May, if we have peace and i"-(d m, an" surplus that accumu lates now will be turned into another world shortage of fats. Indeed, if the entire consuming ponuiations of the world were able to obtain fats today there would be a shortage at this moment even with onr great surplus production. "Numerous solutions have been pro ; been considered that the Allied governments shoud continue to purchase the surplus production of pord products despite the accumulated stocks and lack of immediate need, and thus protect the American farmer in the surplus provided especially for them. It has been contended tLat they are under moral obligations to execute the forecasts of their requiremtns given from time to time through their various agencies. "The Allies can, however, contend that they also have great prob'ems of excess production in commodities such as munitions which they have likewise, produced under war press ure. "They contend that wve have jointl; fought and have won the war and that this is sudden and catches us all with a vast production which must be faced and liquilated by each of us without undue pressure, one against the other; that they, like ourselves, are entering a period of large unemployment dur ing the readjustment, and that their people, like uors, need lower food prices. Hope of Early Peace. "The real solution lies in the hope of early peace and in the meantime, the steady demobilization for all re strict ions on free marketing of sur plus foods, except in enemy territory. thus re-establishing the law of sup ply and demand. "Practically all restrictions on American food exports have been re moved. Progress has been made in lifting neutral h!o^-kada restrictions and further relaxations of block-de measures are under earnect con~sidera tion. "It is. however, no more possible to demobilize in a week the whole or AS W[ GROW OLD The Kidneys Should Receive Help. Manning People Recommend i)oan's Kidney Pills.

WAS UNABLE TO VRA[K AT TIMES SH[ SAYS To Move Around She Had to Push a Chair Before Her HAD TRYING EXPERIENCE Mornings Were Miserable for Mrs. Durham, but the Afternoons Brought Her More Comfort. Though she had suffered with rheumatism so badly she could not walk at times during three or four years, and had been troubled a great deal with a number of other ailments, Mrs. J. T. Durham, of 2210 S. Main St., Anderson, declares that "Tanlac relieved my rheumatism and other troubles and got me in good shape in three weeks, after a lot of other medicines had failed to help me. "I suffered with rheumatism so badly I could not malk at times," continued Mrs. Durham, "and for sev eral hours of every morning when the rheumatism was particularly bad I would have to sit in a chair after being helped from my bed, and then my muscles would get so I could move around by pushing a chair before me. I generally was able to get around enough to get dinner, though I could never get breakfast. One of my legs was badly drawn and I hurt all over and sufforel torture. I had rheuma tism badly for th. ee or four years, but I had been in bad health for about nine years when I began to take Tan lac. I also was troubled a great deal with indigestion and headaches, and my nerves were almost 'gone to pieces.' I could not sleep well and my system was weak and run down, and I felt tired out all the time. "The Tanlac soon got me where I could do my own housework, for it quickly relieved the rheumatism and that drawing in my leg. It am strong And I feel well now. Tanlac certain ly is a fine medicine for rheumatism, I think. I very seldom ever feel a pain in my body now, so well did Tan lac break up the rheumatism. The medicine also built up my system in general, gave me a fine appetite and relieved the indigestion. I could hard ly eat anything when I began takingr Tanlac, but it got me so I could eat anything I wanted. I can sleep well now and the Tanlac relieved the ner vousness. I sure do feel fine and the improvement in my condition is due to Tanlac. Tanlac, the Master Medicine, is sold by Dickson's Prug Store, Manning; II. W.
