1t is stated that all of the life-presery
ers on our local packets will have to be
replaced by new ones, as they fall an
eighth of pound short of weight ac-
cording to the new regulations. But
why or by what authority the local in
spectors should recommend that GER
tain kind of preserver should be pur-
chased, or designate the firm or house
from which they should be purchased, is
a mystery. This has been done here in
one instance, but of course it will not
be again. 1t smaeked too strong of the
