LICENSE ORDER -RINGS
KNELL OF
FOOD GAMBLERS
End Put to Costly Storage Wastes
, Which Boosted Prices What Food
' License Means to Consumers An
' tiflclal Manipulation by Speculat
ors Cause of High Prices.
BY E. C. RODOEltS.
.WASHINGTON, Oct. 18. The
president's license order affecting
every big food handler in the country
rings the death knell on food gam
bling done in a large way. It will
still be possible for the little food
gambler to make an unholy profit by
hoarding up food, but this danger is
minute when compared to what the
J - J)lg fellows have done in otlter years
and could, have done on a tremendous
ly large scale this winter.
By compelling food handlers, man
ufacturers, distributors and ware
houses to take out government 11
censes the. food administration is
placed in absolute control of them.
Their books and plants must be kept
open for Inspection. Their charges,
profits and methods of doing bust
ness are subject to change whenever
Hoover considers them unfair. The
very doors of. their warehouses and
cold storage plunts must swing open
to let out food when Hoover says
so.
Hoover now holds our food supply
In the hollow of his hand.
Can He ruitlslicd.
If the food barons refuse to do his
uiaoine. mev can ue nunisncu. rinea
up to $5000 or sent to prison for two
years or both, and their place of bus!
ness can be sh.it up.
They have to be good.
The need for food control of the
most watchful type is greater now
and thru the winter than at any other
time.
Large canning concerns are stock
ins up with fruits and vegetables
bougiit at the lowest prices of the
year. By keeping a strong hand upon
the outflow tho canners ure able to
maintain high prices. In winters past
thjs.. outflpY. was. little. affectedby
supply. If the Bupply was too great
canned goods were held over a whole
year, or dumped.
Potatoes were contracted for as
early as last seeding time. Potato
speculators seldom buy in open mar
ket. They buy while the 'tubers are
yet In the ground and when the grow
er's price Is beaten down by reports
of bumper crops. In northern Minne
sota and southern Manitoba, along
Jhe Canadian Pacific railroad, farm
ers sold their potatoes under contract
at from 30 to 50 cents a bushel last
August all to spud gamblers. These
potatoes often never reach the city
market, if it pays the gambler to let
them rot In the fields, or in pits or
a storage warehouse he will do that.
Kkk Gunibling.
Egg gamblers buy the product of
the great American hen on a million
farms In spring and summer. Usually
they pay from 14 to 20 cents a dozen
on the farm, and sell to the city
housewife next winter at 4 0 to 50
cents. The cost of transportation,
breakage, storing is less than 5 cents
a dozen. Figure out the profit.
This year they hoped to do better.
They expected dollar-a-dozen eggs by
Christmas. To prove this you only
" have to look at tho October 1 egg
shortage chart. On that day 24 0,
000,000 more eggs were in storage
Khan at the same time last year;
expert demands were hundreds of
thousands of cases less for the year,
and prices were 5 cents a dozen high
er. More eggs, less demand, higher
prices., It Is true that egg gamblers
paid higher farm prices last spring
and summer, averaging from IS to
30 cents a dozen. Add to that 6 rents
for cost of storing .etc., and sec what
the profit would be on dollar eggs.
And dollar eggs would have come if
the president hadn't stepped In.
I Art If dial Miinlpuliitinn.
. Every year hundreds of millions
of eggs have been held In storage un
til they were unfit for table use, held
because holding them meant higher
prices for what were released,
j Food gamblers never win when the
supply Is permitted to ment the de
mand. They reap millions when a
portion of the product Is l'ld off the
market, In warehouses or dumped as
waste.
It was to prevent this more than
anything else that the president
clamped the license lid on food han
dlers. He hopes to enforce the un
written law of supply and demand
While this will prevent prlie ma
nipulation to a large extent and will
End hoarding waslhe. It will not make
ood cheaper than it is now. But it
'will keep prices from snoring hither

HEALTH
TO
Br. C. J. Rollins, pastor of the
First .Methodist church in co-operation
with some of 'the other pastors
and churches of Medford has com
pleted arrangements with J. C. El
liott, a noted health specialist for a
series of Health Lectures to be given
In the churches hero. The opening
service In this course of lectures will
be held Sunday night' in the Metho
dist church. The subject of the sermon-lecture
by .Mr. Elliott will be:
"The Relation of Religion and
Health." The church has expended
millions in the training of intellects
J. t. I'.lllOlt
In our colleges, she has expended mil
lions more In the building of Chris
tian hospitals. She is now co-operating
with the scientist and the physic
ian for prevention of disease by right
living. All these problems will be
discussed.
Prevention of Disease.
Mr. Elliott says "The entire theme
of this course of lectures will be pre
vention of disease by right living. Our
bodies were created for health not
disease. Disease is the result of the
violation of the laws of health. We
are largely responsible for the dis
eases that fasten themselves upon us.
Heredity Is a minor factor in the
cause of diseases. The principle
causes of the discuses that assail the
hitman body are the results of Ignor
ance of tho laws of health and tho
selection of the food supply. Wilful
neglect of the body In the vital prin
ciples of breathing, bathing, diet and
exercise, and criminal abuse of the
body in the abnormal food supply,
oxygen starvation, loss of sleep, and
the lack of a balanced ration. These
are the chief causes of disease.
Physicians Commended
'Prevention of disease by right
living as presented in this course of
lectures Is in perfect harmony with
tho work of the physician nnd the
principles of medicine. The Btudy of
medicine in early life and three years
work as superintendent of the Meth
odist hospital of Los Angeles, an in
stitution costing a quarter of a mil
lion dollars, has given me the highest
appreciation of the work of the phy
sician and the science of medflcine.
My work and the work of the church
in the Chautauqua health campaign
is to co-operate with the physician
and the scientist for the prevention of
disease and the preservation of the
body.
Lectures Popular
'This course of lectures Is for tho
masses. They are presented so that a
child may obtain a health education.
and learn how to preserve the body in
health and strength, and prevent dis
ease. They are as beneficial to those
In, health as to those who are afflicted
with disease. Prevention of disease
rather than euro is the dominant note
in all medical and scientific circles
today. This course of lectures has
been presented by Mr. Elliott in
many of the larger cities of the nn
tion and has packed to the doors
many of the largest uudltorlums. The
lectures have been presented before
the faculty and students If many of
our largest colleges and have received
the highest commendations of faculty
and students.
Classes Reached
Br. Eugene Sanderson, president of
Eugene Hlbio university, Eugene,
Oregon, says: "it gives me pleasure
to state that Rev. .1. C. Elliott, noted
health lecturer and author. Ib now

The federation is composed of some
seventeen clubs .of southern Uroitu'i,
federated some five years u.uo for t He
betterment of ouch club.
It has been customary lu hold n
three-dav session once a year, but
owinir to present conditions, the .!'

work that so many of Ihe clubs have
taken up. The spirit of the session
will bo patriotic.

STEP TO PEACE
ZURICH, Switzerland. Oct. 19.
"The Journey of Emperor William
and Foreign Secretary Von Kuehlnian
has. ben regarded in a certuln sense
as a preliminary step toward peace,"
says tho N'eueste Nachrlcliten of Mu
nich. "The emperor's conversations
at Sofia and Constantinople certainly
meant tho examination of every pos
siblity in that direction altho it would
be a mistake to conclude that the de
cision might embody concessions in
the nature of a program of annexa
tions by the enemy. The peace by
conciliation which we desire has
nothing in common with that of Lloyd
George and Asquith."
