FOOD OUTPUT IS GREAT, YET NO DECLINES SEEN Record Crops of Prunes Fail to Lower Prices Much Milk Going Abroad. By WILLIAM R. 8ANBORN. American milk condensers and butter makers are looking forward to an Immense foreign business for at least another year, perhaps for two years, and with reason. Should this hope prove well founded there is little chance that the cost of dairy products will be greatly lowered to the home consumer, regardless of food laws, or any kind of agitation as to the H. C. U One of the best of American authorities, a concern vitally interested in milk production and uses, informs us that the United States now has about 23,000,000 dairy cows, divided between regular dairy men, and farmer who sell cream. This authority further states that Europe has lost 22,000,000 cows within the last few years, and that there is very little chance for

quick replacement, because "Having

no cows there can be no calves, and no importation of cattle can be permitted, for at least a year, as the ship tonnage is needed for food." This is interesting, of course, but not nearly so much so as is the following

table, denoting the uses to which our

milk production It put, and approxi mate percentages of such use. Milk and Milk Products.

As nearly as may be estimated our

milk production is apportioned as follows : Per Cent.

Used as liquid milk 43.1 Used for making butter 41. Used for making cheese 6. Used for Condensed Milk 2.09 Used for ice cream 3.07 Used for feeding calves 4.03 The production of condensed milk is not a matter of guess work. The books of every condensery are open to p.ll state authorities and the output of every plant can be accounted for, and the same Is true as to all commercial creameries; but the production of "country butter" is at best a guess. It is estimated that, the milk of about BOf-.OOO cows is now used for canned milk. The Five-Cent Loaf Proper legislation as to the purity of fooda and weight? of packages, is all right, so far as it goes, when the

laws are made for the protection of

The raisin company is using its mo

nopoly of supplies to force on us, at those outrageously high prices, a mass of goods that is going to burden U3 heavily. When we placed open orders we did not expect such high prices. These prices will curtail consumption

and we don't wish to be overloaded. Wholesalers have been trying to cancel a part of their contracts but the monopoly Insists that they "take all or none." . The few Independent raisin packers are already sold out, at much lower prices than is now quoted by the trust. Raisins opened at from 32 to 80 percent over 1918 prices, and this should attract governmental attention. Facta About Sugar. The available supply of sugar for home consumption this year, is much heavier than In 1918. there being an excess of 400,000 tons up to August 1. Since that time there has been a constantly Increasing surplus of raw sugars due American refiners, but shipping to bring raws from Cuba was In a measure curtailed, for a time. The sugar equalization board, wj Judge, is entirely to blame for the recent sugar shortage they had control of the shipping to and from Cuba long enough before there were strike troubles and failed to get or keep a good supply of raw sugars ahead. Just another line or two about sugar and we will then discuss the price of fresh beef, taking Chicago packers' prices as a basis. Wholesale grocers are permitted to make 35 cents per 100-lb. sack, or not to exceed 4 per cent. The sugar equalization board, which does not invest a copper, against the $4,000 per car paid by the jobber gets a profit of 38 cents per bag of sugar, which, of course, accrues to Uncle Sam. The jobber carries his accounts, takes his losses when the grocer fails, and makes much less than the cost of doing business, on all sugars. And yet all the hue and cry, practically, has

been with relation to sugar profiteering,' which has been righteously

curbed, where discovered. Nor can the retailer get rich on sugar; he makes a shade less than 10 per cent gross, on present market basis. There are over two billion pounds of sugar now waiting shipment to this country. In Cuba, and the United States early obtained control of the Cuban crop of nearly nine billion pounds. There is plenty of sugar for all the world this year, and sugar is relatively the cheapest ot all the foods, at present prices, 'tis claimed. Wholesale Beef Prices. As showing a constant decline in accordance with the break in the price of cattle, Swift & Company publish their average wholesale selling prices on fresh beef irij the Chicago papers, every week. For the week ending May 3, fhe average price was $20.91 per 100 pounds. By May 31, the price had dropped to $19.83; on June 28, it was $17.05, advancing to $17.65 by July 26.

The decline has been continuous from

Treaty Un-American, Wadsworth Tells Crowd in New York Town (By Associated Press) SALEM. N. Y.. Sept. 10. "If the peace treaty In Its present form, with Its accompanying league of nations, Is ratified it will 'do more to un-Americanize the people of the United States than any other force', United States Senator James W. Wadsworth, Jr., declared here today. He was speaking at a celebration welcoming home world war veterans. His speech was one of those planned by several senators in an attempt to offset some of the effect of President Wilson'B "swing around the circle." Senator Wadsworth referred to President Washington's admonition to beware of entangling alliances. The country at the time that advice was given, the senator said, had not absorbed many of the different nationalities whose homes are here today. Accordingly, he continued, the first president's words should be consided more seriously now. The New York senator declared that official Washington already had a taste of the possible affect of the ratification.

SPEAKS AGAINST "QUACKS"

NEW YORK. Sept. 10. Dr. S. F Ladd, Food Commissioner of North Dakota, advocated the suppression of "quack patent medicine advertising,"

Oliver Meyers, mile northeast of ,and denounced farmers who sell milk,

and food officials, rather than in the

best interest of the people. Many of our food laws are simply meddlesome and are of no real service to anyone. Take the law applying to bread, as recently passed by the Pennsylvania legislature, and which the governor vetoed. This law provided that no loaf containing less than one pound of dough should be sold. To this the governor demurred, as follows: "No law should be passed specifically stating the quantity of an article of merchandise which can or cannot be so'.d. There are many bakers who are awaiting the opportunity to make a good small loaf of bread that can be sold for 5 cents, but if this bill were approved it would prevent the manufacture of a 5-cent loaf, thereby taking away from very poor people the opportunity .to obtain a fresh loaf of bread at frequent intervals." An Immense Prune Crop A fruit dealer recently returned from the west coast fmit districts says: "On August 16 and 17, when I was in the Santa Clara Valley the

prune orchards looked like lumber yards stood on end, there were so j many props holding up the overload-1

ed branches. In many orchards the branches were wired to the trunks of the trees for lack of timber, the lumbermen having run out. of props." The prune crop ripened early this year and hundreds of tons have already gone through the driers. Complaint is made, howevr, that there is a greater than average shrinkage in weight, which has not been explained, also that there is a smaller sugar content this year than last. Your natural inference will be that with an extra large crop, prices will rule lower this season. But we must not delude ourselves. Wholesalers who failed to buy early are not likely to get a single box of prunes, except from early buying speculators and at a fancy price. There are no prunes on the market in a wholesale way, nor has there been for some time. Moreover prices ruled high at the opening of the sales season and have been advanced H time or two since, both in California and Oregon. Wholesale grocers complain that:

prices quoted are the weekly averages for all cuts of fresh beef. If the people of Chicago are not buying meats cheaper now than during the winter and spring, somebody is profiteering right. These reductions in price indicate the cut to meat markets everywhere, the freight allowances being the same as usual, according to distance carried.

Caillaax Charges May Be Qaashed, is Rumor (By Associated Press) PARIS. Sept. 10. Various reports were in circulation today regarding the case of Joseph Caillaux, the former premier, who has been under arrest for more than a year on charges of having had treasonable dealings with the enemy. Several of the newspapers import that the commissieir of inquiry ot the high court which has had the case under long investigation, has decided to Issue a decree sending the ex-premier before the court, as was recommended not long ago in a report by the attorney general. Some of the journals add to this the report that the charge of treason against M. Callaux is to be quashed, leaving the. only political charge still against him" the allegation of a crime against the interior safety of the state.

Certain of the newspapers go so far

as to claim that this would be equivalent to a veiled discharge as the accu

sation would be covered by the amnesty act, thus rendering pleading

useless.

its use has become almost universal, only the same honest claim is made for it that it will relieve those diseases and disorders arising from an impoverished condition of the blood. Time makes no mistakes, and the very best recommendation of S. S. S. is the fact that it has stood a long test and is now more generally used than ever before, and has the confidence, we believe, of a greater number of people than any other blood medicine. The blood is the most vital force of life ; every organ, nerve, muscle, tissue and sinew of the body is dependent on it for nourishment and strength, and as it circulates through the system, pure and rich, it furnishes these different members the healthful properties needed to preserve them and enable them to perform their various duties. So long as the blood remains free from infection we are apt to escape disease, but any impurity,

humor or poison acts injuriously

digestion, etc. ; but whatever the cause the blood must be purified before the body can be healthy.

S. S. S. is a natural blood purifier and tonic. It is made entirely of the harmless juices and extracts of roots, herbs and barks of recognized medicinal value, and being free from all harmful minerals is an absolutely safe medicine for young or old. S. S. S. goes into the circulation. It freshens and enriches the blood and will do for you what it has done for thousands of others. S. S. S. is the most reliable and at the same time a most pleasant acting medicine for those whose blood has become impoverished and needs building up. A course of S. S. S. will prove to you its great efficacy, as it has in numerous other cases which have been reported to us by grateful patients. Do not continue to suffer because of wrong treatment, but go to your drug store and commence taking S. S. S. today. Also write fully to our head

'JjTiey toil on day after day and year after year suffering with distressing weaknesses and derangements, hoping against hope that they will soon feel better, but how can they hope to do good work or escape permanent invalidism? Such women are in danger of derangement of women's functions. They owe it to themselves to try that good old fashioned root and herb remedy Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, which for more than forty years has been restoring American Women to health and strength.
