Millers Operating Profits In
creased 175 Per Cent
Must Fix Flour Prices
Washington, April 18. While flour
mills and middlemen have made millions
in swollen profits since the war open
ed, government supervision is gradually
getting the upper hand and prices are
on the downgrade, the federal trade com
mission said in a special report to Pre
sident Wilson today.
Government price fixing together
with food administration regulations
over millers and distributors will result
this year in flour being ' ' several dol
lars a barrel" lower to the consumer
than last, it was reported.
At the samp time, the commission
charged net profits of millers increased
from It cents a barrel for the 1912-1913
crop,'' Gross profits of carlot distribut
ors jumped from 22 cents a barrel in
1914 to 5 cents in 1917, and of small
lots jobbers from S2 cents in 1915 to
86 cents in 1917.
Millers operating profits per barrel
increased 175 per cent in 1916-17 over
the preceding year and profit on in
vestment 100 per cent.
The commission criticized the food art
ministration's regulations limiting mil
lers to fixed profits over cost. This
method, it was held fails to furnish a
stimulus to efficiency in production and
offers encouragement in cost padding.
It was also suggested that maximum
flour prices be fixed. . .

.". A great deal of interest is being ta
ken in the coming Cherrian minstrel
show, that will take place at the Orand
opera house next Tuesday and Wednes
day evening, and which promises to be
one of the very best home talent pro
ductions that has been pulled off in
Salem for many moons. "Doc" Epley
with his merry end men, Knowland,
White, Lerchen and Springer, are work
ing up their patriotic gags to perfec
tion. They have them now well in band,
and hope to put them across the foot
lights, in rapid fire order. The" first
part is well under way, and will be
entirely new to theatre goers, as C. B.
C'lancey has some new features to offer
in the way of decorations. "The Cher
rians' comedian" whee name is with
held, will certainly keep the audience
in convulsions as he has tajk all his
own, which he calls "Confidential."
Then there is E. ittOKe .1 nrron with
his mystic novelty "A Night in Spoke
ville", which will be put on in a very
elaborate detail. The way Cooke has
the spooks working at his nightly re
hearsals, it looks like there is something
going to be doing that night, and the
Cherrians promise all a delightful treat
in this number, as they have spared no
expense, in making it a big event.
The Cherrian Quartette will offer
many songs of exceptional merit and
taken all in all the boys intend to g ve
the public their money's worth, and
they expect that the house will be sold

generously donating their time, are very
desirous of being able to make a good
turn over to the Willamette Chapter.
There will be another rehearsal at the
Y. M. C. A. tomorrow, and John W.
Todd is very anxious to have all of tne

Had Been Troubled for
Year With Gall Stones
Until Fmitola Brought
Relief
Anyone who has ever suffered the
agony of gall stone trouble will under
stand the sense of gratitude that im
pelled Mrs. M. E. Lamlis, Red Lion,
York Co., Pa-, (R. F. D. No. 1) to
write to the I'inus laboratories as fol
lows: "I feel it my Christian duty to
anyone suffering from gall stones to
write this testimonial. 1 suffered for
several years with gall stones and
severe attacks of gall colic. The best
doctors in our community could not
help me; the only thing "they recom
mended was an operation, which I
hesitated to permit. I am very thank
. ful I heard of Fruitola and Traxo and
used it. Havo not hf.d an attack fur
two years and gladly recommend
Fruitola and Traxo to all who suffer with stomach trouble and gall stones."
.Fruitola and Traxo are prepared in the Pinus laboratories at Monticello, 111.
and can be purchased at Daniel J. Fry g drug Btore, 280 North Commercial
St., a doctor's prescription is not nece.gary. Fruitola is a pure fruit oil that
acts as an intestinal lubricant, disinte rrating the hardened, particles that
cause so much suffering and discharging the accumulated waste to the suf
ferer's intense relief. One bottle is a ually sufficient to indicate its effi
cacy. Traxo is a tonic alterative that is most effective to rebuild and re
store the weakened, run down system. ' .
A booklet of special interest to those who suffer with stomach trouble can
be obtained by writing to the Pinus L boratories, Monticello, Illinois.
