PROFITEERING EXPOSEDMONDAY.

The method used by profiteers in a concentrated effort to force up the price of foodstuffs is illustrated in “It Gail Be Done,” an Earle Williams, Yitagrapli production, which will be shown on Monday. The story revolves around a coralline of food merchants who have been gouging the public of ' a small city. Earle Williams is seen* in the role of Austin Crane, author of a series of super-Raffles stories, who has made lor himself an enviable reputation. He was engaged to write a series oi articles exposing the methods of the profiteers. Crane goes at his task with little or no enthusiasm, because one of the chief offenders Is the lather of the girl he intends to marry. After* writing the first article he deckles .that the methods are too severe, and will avail the public little. He therefore' takes go alters in his own hands and shows how it is possible for one man to force a- general reduction in the price of food material without bringing disgrace to innocent persons.
