DEMANDS A "sQUARE DEAL"
DR.. Wiley Tells Food Manufacturers
People Must Have Proper
Weight in Packages.

Washington.-Eve precaution will
be taken by the federal government
through the board of food and drug
inspection of the department of agri-
culture, to see that exact Justice is
given to the public regarding the
weight or volume of foods or drugs
purchased.
This intention was clearly indicated
by DR.. Harvey w. Wiley, chairman of
the board of food and drug inspection,
in addressing manufacturers and Job
bers Of food products.
The manufacturers were given q
hearing to determine if, as alleged, the
weights Or volume of a package of
foods or drugs has been found lower
than that claimed on the labels.
Charges have been made from time to
time that the law has been violated.
I'VE do not expect absolute accur-
acy in the weight or volume of
package of foods or drugs entering
into interstate commerce." declared
DR.. Wiley, "but what we demand is
that there shall be only reasonable
degree of variation, SO that the public
shall get what it pays for.
1T must not be altogether in the
direction of the manufacturer If the
manufacturer errs at all, why not err
in favor of the purchaser by giving
him a little over, instead of q short
Weight?"
Testimony was given by E. ]. Pig
gott of Chicago, representing manu-
facturers of cheese in that city, to the
effect that because the dealers held
the manufacturers responsible for
''shrinkage" their business was in
demon allied condition.
A ruling on cheese will be promuL
gated shortly.

Gently, a young lady who must, out of
courtesy, remain unnamed would have
retained reputation for erudition
which she had already acquired.
The other guests noticed that after
breakfast she would invariably take
a book with her while she walked to a
shady spot, where she would sit down
and thoughtfully peruse the work
After dinner it was the same thing,
until dusk called halt.
One woman commented to her on
the book. You're fond of reading?"
she asked.
Very" was the depiy.
But you must have read that book
over and over again." said the ques-
toner, pointing to the book under the

The woman paused, GREATNESS, at
the entrance of the familiar office
building. Three years? 1t seemed
either yesterday-or an eternity!
Posing herself determinedly, she
passed on through the lobby and
touched the elevator bell. Her face
was very white now, in contrast to its
accustomed warm pink, and the set
expression about the lips impaired to
it the look, rather of 80 than 20.
In less than two minutes she found
herself seated in the little box-like
anteroom to wait her turn. Nothing
was changed except, perhaps, a trifie
or so in. the furnishings-new things
duplicating as far as possible the old.
Finally the door at her left opened
and haggard-faced man emerged. He
picked up his hat from the table in
the center of the room and passed out.
The doctor glanced toward the
woman and nodded; the next instant,
their eyes locked. He pronounced her
name in a formal tone, and she rose
automatically and went into his pri-
Vate Office.
DR.. Drury pulled up chair and mo-
toned her to be seated.
Without word she sank down, pull
ing nervously at her glove-fngers.
And what can l do for you today,
Mrs. Pelham?" His infection was
courteous, professional, to a degree.
Its the same old thing-Jack," she
said, with little incaught breath.
Her eyes evaded his keen gaze.

tory; one that is advancing every
day, and will become city whether
it gets the county seat or not. To
our friends who are making these
inquiries we will say that the time
has not yet arrived for opening a
campaign of this sort. When actual
division of the county takes place, a
year from this fall, Stafford will be
a candidate for the county seat, and
if it is removed from its present To-
cation, it will come to Stafford.

where The GUARDIAN stands. No
one else in the county is in doubt on
the question. 1t is supposed that
no liquor is sold either in Pima or

tanned that open saloons are better

the suppression of the sale of liquor
as they pretend to be, they can find
plenty to do at home, and we would
advise them to devote their energies
to it. 1t is very easy matter to
find fault with those who are de-
voting their entire time to the bet

STICK TO THE FARM

The young man who stays on the
farm and perhaps makes but a few
hundred dollars a year over his ex,
penses, is apt to think that he might
have done better had he gone to the
city and worked for a salary, as one
of his friends did.
But experience will convince him
that he has chosen the wiser course,
for he has supported himself and
his family in comfort, and has a
home of his own for his old age;
while his friend in the city, though
receiving good salary, has had to
pay much of it away in expenses.
The city employe remaining in
one position, as he is apt to do, is
untitled for any other, and after
a while young men are working up
around him, and he is growing older
and the firm thinks it best to make
a change, so he is thrown out with
no hope of getting another position;
for business firms are all looking for
bright energetic young men, and do
not want one who has passed his
prime. Farm Journal.
