MAY GO INTO BRITISH HANDS.
Probable Destination of Provisions
Seized by War Vessels.

The State Department does not know ofli-
cially that the American provisions seized
by the British war vessels have been re-
leased. 1t is understood, however, that the
New York firms which consigned the goods
to South Africa have received information
to that effect frcrc their representative at
Lorenzo Marques. The department does
know that the flour or the Mashona has
been landed at Durham and that that on
the Maria has been placed in lighters. 1t is
probable that all of the provisions will
eventually pass into the possession of the
British government through purchase, if
the owners are willing to sell. and the State
Department is now trying to ascertain
their wishes. If the owners decide not TO
sell. then the goods will he turned over TO
their regular representatives and the Brit
ish government will pay a sum of money
sufficient to cover any loss that has been
Incurred.
II is suggested. in view Of the rapid rise
in the price of provisions in South Africa,
that the owners of the seized provisions
may actually realize a handsome profit by
the detention of their goods until this time.
The sum of money involved, in case the
British government is expected to pay ia D.
ages, is said TO be Insignificant, though tie
absence from the invoices of figures show
ing the billed price of the commodities hq g

that the sttings of the board would be the
same as those of the committee trying the
governors case.
The two boards will sit together Tay-
lCr's attorneys filed a protest against the
board sitting in the case. The protest is
based on the ground that the charges filed
by Taylor several days ago alleging that
several members are disqualified from serv-
ing, were overruled without investigation
that the charges if Investigated would re-
lieVe these members from serving and that
the committee would then be without a
quorum.

HINTS TO HOUSEWIVES.
A Good Plan to Make Sure That What
is Paid for is Delivered.

| From the Trade Mark Record.
A fraud is a fraud, and no mlsrepresenta-
| ton as to quantity. quality or origin is al
| low ed in law, nor should it be tolerated in
dealing as between man and man.
The good housewife who goes to market
will, once in n while, put her dainty little
| fingers under the quart or peck measure of
the grocer, and if she finds that the bottom
of the measure is away high up from the
circle of the outer rim she can make up her
| mind that that grocer is a fraud.
If she buys seven pounds of sugar, and
puts them on her kitchen scales and finds
the quantity to be six pounds scant. she
knows, or ought to know, that she is being
swindled, and should promptly disconnect
her trade from that source of supply.
The great charge made against our Amer
lean women is that they are eXtravagant
and wasteful housewives. and there is some
foundation to this charge, because
American women as a rule. are so thor
oughly honest that they believe everybody
else is honest.
1t is our opinion that one of the first and
most useful equipments of every kitchen is
a good pair CT scales, and We believe that
your trader. when he knows that you are
thus armed and that you look after
weights. will give you heaping measure and
overweight in order to retain your custom.
In the same manner, if you will ScrutinZe
the trade marks of the articles you use and
purchase, and not hesitate to make COM
plant in every direction where you find
that Misrepresentation has been made in
respect to the marking of the goods you
will serve the cause of honesty, protect
yourself against deception and thoroughly
help elevate the standard of commercial
mortality by making fraud and deception
costly and Improbable to those who seek
to perpetrate 1t.
"Willful waste makes woeful want is an
old saying and true one. and our Amer
lean wives can add very much to the pros
perity of the family by keeping their hand
some eyes wide open in these important
direct tons.
