Opinion About Butter Fat.
For the Advocate.

ROI Lu0 advocate.
7 wish to tell you and the readers OF
your worthy paper what I think of the
section of the Pure Food and Drug bill,
relating to the composition of ice-cream.
a. A have been in the ice-cream bust
ness for the past SO years I do not
hesitate to give my opinion on the sub
ject.
MY Ice-cream il made in many different
ways. There can be no definite stand
ard, as ice-cream differs widely. The
public does not want ice-cream of the
IL per cent. butter fat standard, as such
ice-cream would be too oily and that
little stomach Of yours could not digest
it, about per cent. of butter fat can
be enjoyed by all. T know of a man
who can eat one gallon of ice-cream
but he does not want a IA per cent. or
8 per cent, but about a per cent.
butter fat. The quality of ice-cream
il disposed of among the people who
60 on excursions or to picnics, they 60
with the intention of having a good
time, and if it is warm they want to
eat plenty of ice-cream. a law placing
such high standard il unjust to the
dealer as well as the consumer. 1t
looks little snaky and the fellow that
got up the bill which il now before the
Maryland Legislature had better not
stick his finger too deep into the jam
pot, or about the next time the election
comes on the voters will get him if he
doesn't watch out.

CHEATING THE CONSUMER.
Ways in Which Retail Provision Deal
ers Defraud Their Patrons.

\ The ultimate consumer i'll New York
who doesn't intend TO join the meat
| strike had better keep his weather eye
/ On the butter purchases these days
"a combination butter cutter and
Weigher is being offered for sale to the
! local tradesmen, which cuts siXty-four
one-pound packages from a sixty
\ pound firkin of butter. The machine
registers the weight before the pur-
chaser
| The size Of the regulation 10-cent
package of oatmeal, put up by one
| firm, has been decreased. The diff
ference is not easily apparent, unless
the purchaser has saved the boxes of
last year. Putting the two up side by
side, it j. then quite clear why the
family appetite for the morning cereal
has apparently increased. Potatoes,
too, should be watched The legal
weight j. sixty pounds to the bushel,
or fifteen to the peck. Practically no
where, unless by accident, does re-
tail store sell fifteen pounds. The
average given the customer is thirteen
pounds and two ounces, with an oc-
casional rise to fourteen pounds, but
never more than that. Protest is I'M
availing, for as one grocer remarked,
he wasn't able to get full weight him
self when he did his buying.
Not the least of the offenses is in
dried fruit. Dieticians recommend
dried fruit a. an economy in the Win
ter, when the fresh fruit is SO expen-
sive, but the manufacturers are not
bent in assisting economy. The boxes
labelled a. containing one pound or
five pounds, may weigh that when they
are started on their travels, but by
evaporation some ounces have been
lost. tits like the school sponges
which were sold the city some years
ago." declared grocer. ''They were
paid for by the pound, so the firm fur
nishing them to the city weighed them
wet"
Now that dry beans and peas have
been ordered to be measured by the
pound rather than by the quart, the
consumer is also to lose a few more
cents. Beans which formerly sold for
10 cents quart are now to be sold at
that much for the pound, although
there is the difference of more than
an ounce. The ordinary purchaser
will see that the price of beans is the
same, and probably won't stop to have
them weighed.

BIG STRUCTURES COMPLETED.
Record Breaking Work ON the Bryce
and Hewitt Buildings.

and Hewitt Buildings.
The Thomson-Starr Company re-
ports the completion of the Bryce and
Hewitt Buildings, at Fourth Avenue,
Twenty-seventh and Twenty-eighth
Streets, respectively, trifie over six
months having been consumed in their
construction. Tenants are now oc-
cupying the Hewitt Building, sched-
uled for completion Jan. I, and ten
ants have also moved into the Bryce
Building, scheduled for completion
Feb. /.
This constitutes still another record
for the Thomson-Starrett Company,
and as indicating the rapidity of the
construction work proper it may be
noted that the last foundation was
finished Oct. 4, SO that the actual
erection of both buildings has taken
only about twelve or thirteen weeks.
Completion dates were based on the
understanding that only earth excava-
tons would be required, whereas rock
was encountered we'll below grade, be-
ing in some cases only two feet below
the basement floors of the demolished
buildings. This fact alone, according
to Louis ]. Horowitz, Vice President
and General Manager, had it developed
before the contracts were signed,
would have resulted in the completion
dates being considerably extended.
The buildings, which contain twelve
stories and basement and cover an en-
tire city block, are OF fireproof steel
construction throughout.

PAYS0N PEOPLE ID TRY ID DUST
 SALOONS
Recent Shooting Has Effect of Again Housing Them
 to Renewed Action

The death of Jack Lane, who was shot by Supervisor w. C. Colcord as the result of his own drunken disturbance, has aroused the temperance people of the northern part of the county and as the result, the fight for local option, which was started without success some time ago, may be revived.
 While Supervisor Colcord shot purely in self defeense and has been complete ly exoneTated, the temperance element in the Payson district holds that had there been no saloons in that part of the county, the affair would never have occurred and as the result, they are making preparations for another local option movement.
 According to District Attorney Shute, who has just returned from Payson, the stand of the people with regard to To- cal option has not been expressed as yet, and whether or not there will be another petition brought in, he does not know.
 The present winter has been very se- we're in the northern part of the coun- ty and the cattle men have suffered many losses. Cattle are very ,poor and many have died from exposure and lack of feed.
 Mir. Shute found the prospects foI the coming feed crop very good, how ever, and unless the coming spring should be unusually dry, there will prob ably be few more cattle losses.
