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
