Michaels Higher prices next year for meat, butter and milk and a return to the 5 cent wbear. bread loaf are predicted as the result of the passage of the wheat bill by the senate last Friday. This condition, the opponents of the wheat bill say, will he brought about by the faev that farmers have ceased or will cease raising corn and turn to raising wheat, upon which the govern me*, guarantees the price. The re suit wilt be a shortage of food for cat tie- and other live stock and a decre ase in the price of wheat the minulJe the market is again on a supply and remand basis. Billion Not Enough In fact, it is predicted tluC the $1,000,000,000 provided for by the wheat bill tor paying farmers the dlt ference belwen (their selling price and the guarantee price will not be sufl cient for the needs of the government. They predict that wheat will sell be tween $1 and $1.50 a bushel. Corn farmers have lost on of their most advantageous corn marking op portunitles through the fact that the great corn milling industry has oper ated ay: only about 18 per cent of ca pacity during the last six months. The rn'ls could not buy corn owing to the grain corporation’s exclusion of corn ’’ill products from their food distribu ‘ion plans and owfng totheg oppage ofbrewing. Before the president, by proclairaa- ’ion, closed ' ho breweries, a substan Mai part of the demand for com mill Products comprise f brewers’ com grits and before the gram corpora Mon’s assumption of buying all cereal iroduej s for the allies, the Wheat Ex ■*ort company and other agencies Nmght millions of barrels of com 'lour, meal grits, hominy, and hominy feed for export. Substitutes Are Withdrawn. After a large wheat crop was assur cd last season the food administration vtfhdrew its substitw ion program and -“deemed a large amount of the sub stitutes on hand to admit of a liberal consumption of the b'g wheat crop. The guaranteed basic wheat price of Sensible Treatment For Rheumatism DtIvm Out the Millions of Tiny Pain Demons That Causa the Disease* There are many ways of treating Rheumatism, but there is only one right way. If you are beginning to feel the first slight touches of Rheumatism, there is untold pain and suffering ahead of you, if you follow blindly in the same misdirected foot-steps of unintelligent treatment. For remember that thou sands of victims of this painfnl dis ease have spent countless hours, no doubt, as well as their hard-earned dollars in a vain effort to find a cure. And your own experience will be jnst as disappointing as theirs, if yon follow the old, worn-out and worth less methods of trealment. When you realize that you most get rid of the cause of Rheumatism, and that its torturing pains will disappear when their cause is removed, then yon will be on the right track, and there is a splendid chance for yoa to rid yourself of the disease. Tbs most common form of Shea- matimn is caused by millions of tiny disease germs which infest the Hood, The one and only sensible treatment, therefore, is one which cleanses the blood of these germs, and routs them entirely out of the circulation. And everyone knows that this cannot be done by rubbing the surface with liniments. This is why S. S. S., the greatest known blood purifier, is so successful in the treatment of Rheumatism. It is a powerful cleanser of the blood, it promptly routs all disease germs. S. S. 8. has been used for more than half a century, and it will prove bene ficial in any case of Rheumatism. If you are a victim of this disease, why waste further time with the wrong kind of treatment f Go to your drug gist to-day and get & bottle of 8. S. 8., and begin a course of treatment that will delight yon with its results. 8. 8. S. will remove the disease germs that cause your Rheumatism, afford- g relief that ia genuine. We maintain, a medical department in charge of a specialist on Rheuma tism, and after beginning treatment with 8. 8. 8. von are invited to write for free medical advice about your own cue.

The extension of this price gua rantee into next crop and together with tile losg of important corn mar keting opportunities has created a de mand for spring wheat seed in states as far souih as Texas and Tennessee. One Texs tract of 10,000 acres is said to be undergoing preparations for the seding of spring wheat. Hold Corn for Feeding. Reports from the corn belt indicate that farmers are planning to hold their corn and oats for feeding next season and to permie of seeding the bulk of their acreage to spring wheat. Some authorities expect wheat to soli between $1 and $1.50 on a supply and demand basis and predict a gretf.er loss to the government than the $1,- 000,000,000 provided by the wheat; bill for paying farmers tha difference be tween their selling prices and the guaranted price. ? Some take the viewpoint that farm ers feel justified in taking a full ad vantage of the fixed wheat price since government action, both direct and through its agencies, has confronted them with conditions which force , them to sell corn at around $1 per bushel. * | The American Corn Millers’ federa tion In appealing to the government for an amendment do the whealt bill, and which would restrict the wheat acreage to a five year average by farm ers individually .declared that in the opinion of its officials, without some change in the present sl-uation, a ter rific shortage of corn, oats and fodder crops is ©ertaim. They say that as a result of the prospective crop reduction, corn may sell u: $1 per bushel over wheat next year and since cattle and hogs cannot be fattened and finished through wheat feeding, the famine corn prices would force meats to a hi'gher level than <:h e present distressingly high basis. Similar Influences respecting stock and dairy feeding were declared probable by the National Association of Qats Millers in their appeals to con gress for a restriction of wheat acre age to normal. Why Corn Is Not Eaten. In reply to an expresion of surprise thaj; the public is not consuming a larger amounr of corn mill foods since they are available at about 60 per cent of the cost of wheat flour, Vice President Adams of the Com Millers federation replied: “When you force people to do a thing it causes a distaste for that I’hing—just as you can make a child read the Bible until it hates it. As I predict ed to.Mr. Hoover a year ago, the reaction from the enforced use of substitutes would curtail a normal com sump ion and this has Happened, and even in the south, where corn breads have had preference sineg the coloni al days.” The prospective reduction in this year's corn crop is so potential ulti mately as to hazard our international prestige as being the world’s greatest meat producing tia^on. Apparently a majority of our legislators hold the idea that wheat is the world's preemi nent economic influence, bu*. they should bear in mind that in the past corn has been produced in America at the rat : o of four and one-half busheiis to one bushel of wheat and that about 80 per cen‘. »of the corn produced is consumed where raised and mainly in the production of meat. With a crop reduction of 20 per cent and which is believed to be in prospect and assum ing that commercial channels would draw out (heir normal 25 per cent, it is not difficult to estimate the effect of an available corn suply of only 60 crop diccrsification plan may profit tion and farm consumption as compar ed with a normal suply of 80 per cent of normal crops. Corn Farmers May Profit. The farmers who adheres to the crop liversification plan may profit more liberally’ than those who concen trio’s on wheat production under the a iirulus of a high fixed price. The wheat situation of now with the pro babaility o f two complex rational pro blems next year—namely: a dearth of corn supplies with corn famine prices and high meat production cost —is the outcome of price fixing with Its violation of the lawn of supply and demand. —<> The Corn Millers’ federation recom mended the following to the president and congress as carrying partial solu tions of the corn and. meal production problems: First, through restricting the wheat acreage to normal. Second, through ’permitting corn mill products -to par iticipa- e in the food distribution plant, I for Europe at the ratio of 25 per cent of all cereal produces supplied. Third though permitting undeleted brew 1 ing of beer until the consitiutionl amendment becomes operaiMve. These amendments were taken up in the senate and rejected. ! AL Do not imagine that because you have tried various remedies without any permanent benefit that your cough is incurable. Bear in nrind that Chamerlain’s Cough Remedy ha*' cured others, lota of them, why not you. Read what Mrs. J. L. Jones, New Kensington, Pa. says of this remedy. “About a year ago I con tracted a severe cold that settled on my lungs and caused a terrible dry hacking cough that alarmed as well as annoyed me. Upon the advice of a .druggist I bought a bottle of Chamber Iain’s Cough Remedy »ud it relieved .me almost Immediately" V =^1 Beaufont the Be& Drink at All Founts Stepped up to the fountain the other day and when the man behind asked •me what I would have I couldn't think of anything that would satisfy me—was sick of all the other insipid zestiess drinks that I had been get ting, so I told the man to serve me the drink he thought was best. And Oh—Boy! talk about your drink that hit the spot I got it. It looked like Champagne and had the sparkle—r asked the clerk what it was. He told me it was BEAUFONT Ginger Ale, one of the most pftpular drinks he served and you can bet I believed him. Take my advice and don’t let your self go by a fountaip without gorng in to give this read Ginger Ale a '.rial —you’ll be “delighted" just as I was “Beaufont Ginger Ale is real Ginger Ale.’ Yours truly, JACK WISE The Emblem of a Great Democracy A Loaf of Bread * There is nowhere in the land a home so magnificent and splendid nor a home so remote and humble, that bread is not on Its table.
