remedy would be for the public to refuse to patronize merchants who charge excessive prices. "If the people would turn and patronize the few cut-price stores, they'd soon force the high-priced stores to cu * ibelr prices," he said. The high cost of living was due largely to "the associated activities of producers and distributors of necessities of life.” Mr. Robertson said.

t Apert ai to The Imtianaipoh* New*) GOSHKN. Ind., April It.—Goshen’s city henith board fight, which started more jhan three month* ago, broke out again today when Dr. Herbert K. Lemon, Mayor Uharnley * choice for secretary, gave notice through newepapera here that the new board, composed of himself. Dr. Floyd M. Freeman and Dr. Lloyd II. Stmmona, is In full authority and that the public should report promptly cases of contagions diseases and blnth. The old board, composed of Dr. Albert J. Irwin, secretary, and Dr. Irwin J. Beckneli and Dr. J. Albert Snapp, associated members, immediately notified the prtblic that the first person who reported to the new rd and did not report to the old rd. would be prosecuted. The Inna state hoard of health Is *ua»ing the old board. Since last January members of the old board have not received a salary and no salaries have been drawn by the new board member a although Dr. Lemon says they expect to be paid soon An armistice in the • fight came when the citr superintendent of school* personally appealed to Major Charnley to abandon his fight on the old board while influenza threatened to become epidemic here. At that time It was feared the schools would be closed, and there was much confusion in reporting oases of the disaaae to rival health boards. Nor the fight has developed anew, and is unusually bitter. Xo court action has been taken, but members of the old board have been . advised by council that Mayor Charn- 1 ley Is without authority to remove I them. Their terms run until JKnuarr j of 1122.
