Work of the Food Admlnistraflon. In the 41 days after the United States entered the war?April 6th to May 17th?the average rise in Food prices was more than 20 per cent, yesterday remarked Joseph C. Jones. Chairman of the Pair Price Committe for Franklin County. "On May 17, the national Food Administrator was appointed, without being given power by law. In August 11*17 the Food Control Act was passed and ?he- staple commodi ties came under regulation. It is not pleasant to imagine wimt the price of the average American dinner would W by now if I'ncle Sam had nof taken charge and. guaronteed to th?" house wife that he would see that she sot Isttr play in buying staple foods. ? He has kept his word. The urhole Bflle price of all the staples Ras been K?*I: from soaring and seven of them, amour which are potatoes, flour and su gar have actually declined in price. N'fw the Food Administr..uon \* pre pared to help the hou-ewife more, if she will help hvirself a little. It is taking definite measures to limit by pressure of public opinion, the retail I prices on common food commodities. T Fod Administration is not at tempting to "fix" prices, merely to in:, rpret them fairly, t? influence and stabilize them. The Fair Price Com mittee is the measure at work. Ev il?
