SHORT WEIGHT COSTS
 PEOPLE MILLIONS

WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. 15.-- Housewives everywhere are appealed to by Representative William W. Wilson of Chicago, to help him pass law requiring canners, packers and preservers of food stuffs to carry full weight of food matter in every can, jar or package they put up for sale.
 The toll of short weights to the famil es of New York, he has been told, is $30.0o0,000 year. h Chica- go it equals, if it does not exceed this amount. What 1t is over the entire country, there is no way Of telling, but conservatives put it in the hundreds of millions of dollars.
 Mir. Wilson has introduced in Con gress b Il requiring the manufactur- CT of any and every receptacle of food stuffs to have stamped on the outside of the receptacle, and not on the bottom, the exact net capacity of the receptacle in actual food weight, solid matter.
 He believes that with the increas- Ing price of raw products the can .ners and packers have been cutting
 
 in their cans to hold their profits to the original high level. Often the necessary gross weight is made up by the add tion of water. Through this short weight families forced to use canned goods are getting less for teelr money than formerly and their ccst of living is increased propor. tiondtely
 Realizing the fight to be made against his bill by the canners and packers Mir. Wilson has called on the housewives of the country for ther assistance in passing his bill lie wants them every little while be fore cooking their. canned goods to put the contents of theip can or packages on the scales, drain off the water or liquor and ascertain the ex. act weight in solid matter. If this weight should prove less than the weight of the food as held out by the dealer they are to make theiI complaint to their congressman and urge his support of the Wilson full we 'ght bill
 T have not the slightest doubt said Mir. Wilson today, that not ons housewife in thousand will find she Is getting the weight she is paying for"
 The evil, explained Mir. Wilson, wa. brought to his attention by the In ternational Stewards association composed of hotel and restaurant keepers, winch is behind the Wilson pih. Hotels and restaurants co-erced oanners Into the use of special cans ana packages of full weight for them

SAN ANTONIO. Texas. Dec. 14.- tSpeciai-A colony. unique in winter resort life. is beginning to gather Tn San Antonio. For the past three ye1Ars each winter has seen an in creased number of prosperous men from the big cities of the north and exst who come here suffering from what is called the great American penalty of success. They are locomo- tor ataxia patients, many of them scarcely able to walk, and others so cAppled they must be wheeled in chairs. They are pale. emaciated. feeble end weary of life. yet the mai ority have suites at the big hotels and q valet or companion and nurses and possess money sufficient to com nland any comforts or amusement

 pr, ", Lewis Tallnsn of Chicago. famous iocomotof ataxia specialist. accompanied by several physicians. amoas them Dr. R. NJ. Nicholson. has arrived with the first contingent to the colony. some twenty successful men who iourneyed here in private car. The treatment by medicine is ss:.sea i. a material degree by the winter climate. To leave the cold winter iR the north and come here where the temperature is as high as on an ideal May day in the north pro duces a Iassitude that is eagerly welcomed by the nervously undone. They spend the greater portion o' the day out in the sunshine, sitting in the parks under the shade of green trees and surrounded by rose; and brilliant flower beds. It is a familiar sight to see men of dis,in

WASHINGTON. D. c. Dec 14.-- electrical trust will begin Jan. 1 :::;s;''eso present plans are changed. IL Is what the department of justice con sidens the mammoth "trustbusting" suit in it's history. The government case will depend largely upon the in terpretation of the patent laws. The most conservative estimated of the cost to the government is si,o00. 900 to prosecute. A bill will soon be fl- ed against one of the twenty divis- ions in the alleged combine and this will be followed with actions against the others as fast as the investiga- tions are completed.
