AFTER DEALERS
IN NORTHERN
INDIANA
STATE CHEMIST SAYS
THAT SHORT WEIGHTS
ARE GIVEN IN BUT
TER AND FLOUR.
Attempt to Punish Violators of
Law Has Failed Because of
Laxity on Part of City
Officials.

Indianapolis, June 10.-State
chemist II. +. Barnard, will pros
ecute short weight dealers who
sell butter who are operating
northern Indiana. He says in
Spectors OF the state board OF
health have found several places
where dealers are doing this. 1t
is especially true OF dairy product
he says. Inspectors OF the state
board OF health purchased sam
piles at many OF the stores in the
northern Indiana cities. In each
instance it was found to be from
one ounce to two ounces short
in weight. In other places the
package OF butter weighed eight
ounces gross, with the pack
age, when it should have
weighed eight ounces, net witt
out the package.
Mr.. Barnard instructed the in
Spectors to prosecute the short
weight butter dealers, wherever
they found them. He says one
inspector called on the police
judge in one place, and laid the
matter before him and that the
Judge refused to have anything
to do with the case for the rea-
son that ne used to do business
himself. Then the inspector
went to a couple OF justices OF
the peace, ne says, and they
would not take the cases. But
Mr.. Barnard says the inspectors
will go right ahead and show up
the dealers in all places where
they may be found selling Snort
weight.
Flour Also Short in Weight.
Short weight -four is another
article OF which the inspectors
find much in the stores through
out the state. Where an eighth
barrel bag should weight 24H
pounds net, it weights, in many
instances. n 1-2 pounds gross,
or even less, some of them
running as low as p pounds.
The inspectors are on the look
out for this short weight and
bring it up to the required
amount.
Some days ago an inspector
found a lot of short weight flour
in a grocery store at Linton
He required the dealer to fl
the bags and bring them up tc
the legal weight, and Mr.. Barn
ard received letter from th'
dealer a day or two ago inform
ING him that the order had beer
compiled with and that the ST
Louis Milling company. from
which he bought the flour. had
agreed to stand the loss. Mr.
Barnard brought the matter o
short weight flour to the atten-
ton of the recent state conven-
tion of the Indiana Millers' AS
sociation and it was found that
most of the millers OF the stat {
were complying with the law by
giving full weight Hour.
