SHORT WEIGHT BUTTER. Since the edi-
torial item on the I'd page was written we
have had further information volunteered on
the butter question, and which strengthens
the case ofour correspondent Two pounds
of butter of certain brand were weighed
and one pound was one ounce and the
other about one and half ounces short A
Belfast man said that he had been getting
only IA ounces for a pound, and when his
butter man proposed raising the price from
20 to 25 cents told him that was already pay
ing the higher rate per pound. The next
time the butter was delivered the vendor
wanted to bet S. that it was full weight
and when the consumer weighed it later
and found only the regular IA ounces he
was sorry he had not made the bet. With
butter at 80 cents a pound, and the possibil-
ity of it going higher, consumers naturally
feel that they should get what they pay for.
1t was at one time seriously proposed that
eggs should be sold by weight. Now it
would seem a proper thing to sell butter by
the ounce, each housekeeper to have scales
to weigh the butter as received.
