Warning Against
. Boosting Prices
REVIVAL MEETING AT CHURCH
OF CHRIST, JULY 9th. TO THE 19th.
Washington, July 1.—In a message
calculated to warn all retailer?
against price advances the adminis-
tration does not consider warranted
Secretary Wallace Saturday informed
Iowa bakers that any unreasonable
retail boosts would be prosecuted.
The secretary told the Iowa bakers
the department was prepared to use
the powers that had been lodged in it
and the President to prevent unrea-
sonable increases to be borne by the
consumers.
“The recent advance of wheat
prices plus the processing tax, when
it is levied, would increase cost ap-
proximately l.l-3c a pound ldaf,” he
telegraphed the bakers’ association
“Under these conditions, what is the
justification for your proposed ad-
vance of 3c?”
The bakers’ association announced J
Friday it would increase the price of
one-pound loaves of bread from 5c to
8c on July 5.
The 80c a bushel processing tax
goes into effect at midnight July 8
to provide revenue to make payments!
to farmers agreeing to reduce acre-
age and this tax was blamed in part
by the association for its projected
increase.
Meanwhile, it was said that numer-,
ous reports of price Jifts and contem-1
plated increases have come to the at-)
tention of farm administrators from
many sections of the country.
His message to the association in)
his own State was designed as a
warning to other retailers, not only
of bread, but of otHbr food products
manufactured from basic farm com-
modities on which processing taxes
later are to be ordered into effect.
Wallace was reported, to be pre-
pared to follow up his warning with
an early prosecution under the anti-
trust laws if considered necessary in
order to provide an'example and thus
supply a legal test of his newly cre-
ated powers. • •„ . ai*

Warns Of Diphtheria
j. l,. rummn, uvangeiist
firfe,
At the present time Diphtheria is
scattered over the state, a number of
cases being in this county. This is
very unsual for this time of the year,
and unless pretty well stamped out
before the winter months begin, we
may be confronted with a serious out-
break of the disease at that time,
when Diphtheria is usually at its
worst.
It has been demonstrated that this
dreadful malady can be controlled by
the administration of an active im
munization agent, known as Toxoid.
This is given the child in two doses,
from one to three weeks apart. It is
practically harmless, and is inexpen-
sive, rendering immunity against this
disease for six or more years.
Children begin to be susceptible to
Diphtheria between the ages of six
months and one year. Therefore the
Toxoid should be given early, at least
during the pre-school age, so that the
little fellows will be immune from
this trouble when they start to school.
The best way to get rid of the dis-
ease is to prevent it. Why expose your
children to this awful malady that
has following its wake, paralysis and
death, when it can so easily be pre-
vented.
If you are not able to pay for this
immunization, a way can be arranged
so your children can get the Toxoid
without cost.
We love our Kittle tots—let’s give
them this protection at once.
Your family doctor is ready and
anxious to help you, call on him and
he will gladly administer the Toxoid
to your children for a reasonable fee.
I thank you,
James H. Burnett,
County Health Officer.
