The meanness of the short-measure
trick is conspicuously exemplified In
the report that consumers in New
York city alone are annually cheated
out of 100000 quarts of milk for
which they pay-and. according to re-
cent evidence, pay exorbitantly-but
which they do not receive because the
bottles in which the milk is delivered
are under full size. The milk sold in
this manner goes for the most part TIC
poor persons and furnishes a large pro
portion of the sustenance of children.
Short measure in this instance there
fore means robbing those whose lot is
already hard enough and who have tO
pay heavily for every necessary of life
If there is not a method of reaching
the constituencies persons who perpe-
trate such despicable frauds certainly
the law should remedy the defect.

INSTRUCTION IN THE SCHOOLS
Children Being Taught the Nature and
Methods of Prevention of
tuberculosis.

Definite instruction concerning the
nature and methods of prevention of
tuberculosis is being given to less
than six per cent. of the public school
children of the United States, accord
ing to a bulletin Of the National Asso-
citation for the Study and Prevention
of tuberculosis Recent investigation
has shown that in only nine cities,
Washington, Dallas, Tex, Richmond,
Va, Poughkeepsie, N. Y, Detroit,
Mich, Maiden, Mass, Salem, Mass,
Saginaw, Mich, and Knoxville, Tenn,
are special text books being used or
lectures being given about tuberculo-
sis. In three states and one territory
Michigan, Massachusetts, North Caro-
lima and Porto Rico, laws have been
passed requiring that instruction
about the nature and methods of pre-
vention Of tuberculosis be given in all
public schools. In Tennessee the
state department of education has re-
quested that such instruction be given
and has issued circulars for this pur-
pose. In New Jersey and West Vir-
GINA wall cards giving instruction
are hung in every schoolroom and the
attention of all children is called to

REFINERs AFTER EXPORT RATE.
Want Fifteen Cent Rate From Kansas
Field to Gulf.

Chanute.-Chanute refiners are en-
deavOring to secure a l5 cent rate on
refined oil from the plants to the gulf
coast for expectation. I'VE have al
ready arranged for the Market" says
F. A Parsons, manager of the han-
sas Cooperative Refining company
If we get the rate it will mean that the
plants here viii increase their capa-
city and will do much more business
than ever before
The rate now is 26 cents. It used
TO be SO cents The reduction was
made to "equalize" rates from this
shipping district with the rates from
Chanute to New Orleans by way of
St. Louis. And here is where you get
a glimpse of the mysteries of freignr
traffic making.
st. Louis has a rate of cents on
refined oil shipped to New Orleans Tor
export. The rate from Chanute to st.
Louis is II cents. The Chanute re-
finers discovered that by combining
the rate from Chanute to ST. Louis
and the rate from st. Louis to New
Orleans, they could beat the SO cent
rate cold.
Here is the way it worked If they
had car of oil to go to New Orleans
they billed it by way of st. Louis.
The railroad hauled it across the state
of Missouri before they started it
south. For that trip the refiner paid
II cents. From St Louis to New
Orleans he paid cents, total of 26
cents.
If he shipped it the shortest way and
the easiest way it cost him SO cents.
That is, it did until the rates were
"equalized," and new schedules made
by the railroads so that they could
haul oil loaded here direct to New
Orleans for &c cents, instead of send
ing it away around by st. Louis and
then down.
I'VE don't care how low the railroad
makes any rate" says Mr.. Parsons.
THAT isn't the point. All we ask is a
fair deal. If St Louis has a 9 cent
rate we think we should have a 10
cent rate.
Here is the way it figures out:
Suppose that we agree to sell for "a
cents, delivered at the ships side.
Under the present rate of &c cents
this oil will bring us but l u cents de-
nvered at the coast, under the 10 cent
rate, it will bring us PA cents at the
coast"
Mr.. Parsons has conferred with the
freight traffic officials Of the Katy
railroad and the Kansas City South
ern system, and L. L. MARCEL, man.
ager of the Chanute Refining company,
has called upon Mr.. Koontz, freight
traffic manager for the Santa Fe.
Mr.. Parsons says that the railroads
have already granted a 10 cent rate
on crude oil shipments from the Ok
lahoma field. This rate was obtained
by a big company which placed a re-
finery on the coast, shipping its
crude oil supply from the Oklahoma
field 1t found out that the rate would
be granted before it built its plant.

The figures showing the gold produc-
ton of the world for 1909. while not
complete. prove that the great output
of recent years has been kept up. The
actual production during 1908 was
$443,434,527. The estimated total for
1909, based on official returns from the
leading countries for IL months, Is
$457 SGT $50. an increase of $14 ,132.753,
or 80 per cent, over the preceding
twelvemonth. The Transvaal in South
Africa leads off. with $151,9OO,O 900
against $145.S19 ,O16 in 1908. The Uni
ted States ranks second with $96,5OO,'
900 against $94 $50, 900. With one or
two exceptions every country in the
list produced more gold last year than
in 1908 Further comparison shows
that the gain has been in an almost
unbroken ratio during the last ~
years. for which period there has been
a fourfold gain in the worlds supply
The figures have economic significance
and study of them may serve to ex
plain some of the changes that are
being wrought in the worlds monetary
system.

WHAT is HAzINe2
kama.

A bill has been framed in the senate
committe on military affairs prescrib-
ing regulations that shall govern the
dismissal of West Point cadets for the
practice Of ''haZing," and defining in
explicit language what is meant by the
term itself 1t seems that the diction-
airy definitions have not proved salts
factory either to the senate commit
tee or to the executive heads OF the
war department. and in lieu of salts
factory translation of the comprehen-
sive term it becomes necessary for the
law givers to frame one for them
selves. Ii is in many cases easier TO
offer an example than synonym, says
Philadelphia Ledger. Anyone knows
'haZ:ng' when he sees 1t, and every
thoughtful person deplores the brutal
disregard of another's feelings that Is
involved in the reprehensible practice.
No definition would be complete that
failed to take into consideration the
fact that menta; anguish is sometimes
much more painful than physical sur
ferings. A man's-or boy d
may be hazed not less effectually than
his body. In order to haze" success
fully it is not necessary to use instru-
ments of torture. Some of the most
brutal instances of haZing on record
have been those in which the magma
ton OF the chosen victim has been In
geniously assailed by the soul-harrow-
ing dread OF things that did not hap
