Dr. Edward Frankland Armstrong, president of the Association of British Chemical Manufacturers, said: "Food is the first of all the weapons of preventive medicine and it must be the function of the agriculturists in the near future to grow complete foods and not mere market produce.

Because the anti-trust laws prevent manufacturers from fixing the retail price of their product, competition has forced the retail margin of profit down to a hairline on the popular brands of cigarets. At two-for-a-quarter the Big Three retail for $6.25 a 1,000. Retailer's profit, allowing discount, is less than i^ per package. Philip Morris, which sold 3,800 million cigarets last year, has generally been able to maintain a retail price of 15? straight, or $7.50 per 1,000. Wholesaling at $6.85 per 1,000, Philip Morrises make the retailer well over...
