EVENING CHAT
BY RUTH CAMERON.

You-if you are an average person
have doubtless had more or less to
say about the high cost of living.
You have blamed it to the tariff,
| to the scarcity of gold, to the trusts,
| to the farmers or to conditions in gem
eral, according to your ways of think
ing, or feeling.
! But did it ever occur to you that
one reason why the Saturday night
bills are so alarmingly large might be
| nearer at hand than that?
That there might be a leak right
in your own kitchen, or rather in the
source of supply before it gets to your
| kitchen
In plain words, are you sure your
butcher and grocer and all the other
| dealers who supply your kitchen are
You trade with respectable people
and you are sure they are perfectly
| honest?
Listen!
A corps of Investigators in the ser
vice of the federal government, in
vestigating the weights used by deal
| ers in several of the larger cities of
| the United States, have found that in
some cities as many as sixty per cent
of the dealers were cheating their
customers in some way.
In the city of Chicago a very siren
uous and energetic sealer of weights,
named HIGHLANDER, has recently made
tremendous campaign against this
kind of graft and has found, even
among the respectable dealers, every
possible kind of device for cheating
the customer.
Weights with the metal bored out
and the cavity filled with some. light
er material, bottles supposed to hold a
quart, but in reality holding much
less, objects Weighing two or three
ounces hung on the scale pans, but
ter weighed out in wooden containers
which weigh one and half ounces
and, with butter at forty cents
or a

that HIGHLANDER, the terrible Swede,"
as he is called in a recent magazine
article, has found.
grocer or marketman INDUCES in any
of these tricks-but are you SURE?
What can you do about 1T anyway,
aren't you in Just as much danger
of being cheated at one place as an
other?
Well, I'll just quote Mr.. HIGHLANDER
to answer that.
Almost any housewife who wants

curate scale in her kitchen and
