Vegetables by Weight
During the last session of our legis-
lature 1 had three bills pertaining to
weights and measures introduced. One
was TO revise the weights and measures
laws and make them more cOmprehen-
sive. This measure called up in the
dying hours of the session was lost by
three votes The second, which passed,
was an act giving power to city eOun-
els and presidents and boards of trus-
tees in villages and unincorporated
towns TO pass ordinances requiring the
sale of various kinds of dry commodi-
ties by weight instead Of measure A
large number of peddlers and dealers
buy their potatoes, etc, by weight and
then turn around and sell them by
measure In the case of potatoes they
get so pounds TO the bushel and make
five pecks out of it by selling by meas
ure.
Marked Contents.
The third bill introduced was what
was commonly termed the met BILL"
and provided that all goods sold in
original packages should bear the net
weight, the net measure or numerical
count of the contents conspicuously
displayed upon the outside. For some
reason it was not reported out of the
committee.
This bill is very much needed and
its lack is a most important defect in
the laws intended to insure TO the pub
lie honest weight and measure. After
the manufacturer has attained a GER
tain popularity for his product he ap-
parently tries to get the money he spent
in advertising by cutting down the size
of the package. He is careful. how
ever, TO preserve the same general ap-
pearance. Sometimes if the weight was
at first one pound he calls it size one"
after it is reduced. In North Dakota.
where there is net weight law similar
to the one rejected in Illinois the gross
weight in ounces for canned goods has
increased 'in spite of the fact that
prices for food products have very ma
terially increased. and we might expect
slack filings were not our law being
enforced" as is pertinently pointed out
in the official state report.
The national pure food law does not
give adequate protection in regard to
the weight of goods in original pack
ages, because it merely requires that
the weight or measure shall be given
correctly. If stated at all

be present at the trial sooner, as he
had been busy preparing for the IN
spection trip by the government en-
gineers of the dam work at Engle HIS
testimony was in statements recorded
as direct testimony.
Says Leech Uttered Threat.
District attorney Howe, conducting
the examination, asked for any CONVEX
sation between Coleman and Leech.
Coleman said:
Il had occasion in February and
March. 1907, to go to the Southern no.
tel to collect rent and went down to
see Mr. Leech. In reference to the
second trip 1 told him that had or
ders from Mr.. Kohlberg that II the
rent was not paid, he (Kohlberg)
would evict him, and Leech said: II
he does, I'll kill the damn Jew
Coleman was then passed to the de-
fence for cross examination and ne
stated that he had received a telegram
| from Horace B. Stevens to come to FL
Paso and that transportation was
wired to his credit. He also stated
that when he went to the Southern no.
| tel to collect the rent, Leech was
working in a room or hallway near the
head of the stairs in his shirt sleeves.
He also described part of the furnish
| ings of the room, saying the curtains
were down on the windows facing FL
| PasO street.

me the attentions after marriage that
he did before. When he dropped off
sending me flowers and candy 1 asked
him whether anything had happened to
the confectionery trade, and the rose
crop, and casually remarked that 1 had
not lost my liking for either flowers
or sweets.
eNThe first time my birthday rolled
around after we were married he gave
me a bill and said: Here, Mary, go
down town and buy yourself something
you want don't know what you would
like 1 simply threw the money at his
feet, and told him TO keep it, and that
if he didn't take enough interest in me
TO remember my taste, nor think 1t
worth while to put himself to the trou-
BILE of selecting something for me- 1
would dispense with any remembrance
of the occasion from him. Perhaps it
was a very unladylike thing to do, but
it pulled him up short. He went down
town and got me a dozen things that I
wanted, and since then he has thought
enough about me to remember what /
like.
mo man can excuse himself for neg
Iecting to celebrate little family ami
versaries by saying that he forgets
them. He doesn't forget anything that
he is interested in If he's got the in
terest on a hundred dollar note coming
due on the 18th of September, or the
18th of August, he'sll remember the
date fast enough. AS for a man saying
that he doesn't know what to get his
wife for a present, that is simply an
insult, for it shows that he considers
her so little that he doesn't even no
tice what her tastes are, and that he is
so Indifferent to her that her little,
often-expresSed wishes for this or
that, make no impression upon him.
But when a man fails to show his
wife the delicate attentions that women
love it's her own fault for a wife only
gets what she demands of a husband.

(By John HIGHLANDER, city Sealer Of
weights and measures, Chicago, H.
Recently there has been an awakening
to the opportunity fer making the ex-
animation of weights and measures a
more valuable protection to the public
than the routine work of recent years
has proved itself. Mr.. HIGHLANDER has
been so successful that the United
States bureau of standards announced
that in Chicago only 5 percent of the
scales in retail stores were faulty,
whereas in many cities as high as so
percent Of the scales examined gave
underweignt.)
Every trade or line of business that
We have Investigated contributes in
stances of short weight or measure,
either through design or custom. In
Chicago 10 inspectors are kept extreme
~ busy trying TO see that the consumer
gets Is ounces net weight for each
pound purchased, and a quart for a
quart and peck for a peck
We first test all the scales and meas
ures and after they have been sealed
and learn if the dealers are using the
scales and measures correctly We
found when we first started this sys-
tenn large number of dealers and
clerks who could not see the 16 ounce
mark on their scales when weighing
nearly as we'll as they could that for
II ounces. Repeated prosecutions have
had a wholesome effect.
Cheating With Milk Bottles.
I had an ordinance passed providing
that if milk or cream is sold in glass
bottles each must have the capacity
blown into the glass or otherwise per-
manentIy indicated. This made the
milk dealers and bottle manufacturers
come in droves demanding that lee
way under and over measure be al
lowed After giving them ample time
to weed out their short bottles, 1 sent
inspectors to test those found in use.
AS result $500 in fines and costs
was collected. The dealers appealed
to the supreme court of the state,
which said that if it was impossible to
make every bottle alike they could
hold little bit more and that quart
or a pint meant just what it said, and
nothing less.
Our first try out of milk bottles
showed in round figures that 1000 out
of 10 coo ran small. Our last test, which
was made in June tells an entirely diff
ferent story. for out of $500 bottles
only 500 were small
Short Weight Coal.
An ordinance was passed requiring
that a ticket showing the net weight
must accompany each load of coal and
be given by the driver to the pur-
chaser upon delivery. This ordinance
stopped the practice of delivering an
order for say 20 tons in four or five
loads with a bill covering the entire
amount with the last load Formerly
if an inspector stopped one of these
loads the driver would say he did not
know how much was on the wagon, as
it was part of a delivery Of 10 or 20
tons. The inspector was helpless be-
cause if he weighed the load and any
short weight had been delivered pre-
viously, it could always be made up
later on Now when an inspector stops
a wagon he must be given a ticket

Her Sad Experience.
you are right" said the older wo-
man of the party, sadly I've been
married so years, and no woman in the
world has ever worked harder to help
a man than I have to help my husband.
No woman has ever sacrificed more for
a man, and not many, I think, have
ever made a man a more comfortable
home than 1 have.
I'm his way. think, my husband
loves me. but I should drop dead with
surprise if he ever showed it to me by
paying me any attention, or making
me a present, or indicating in any way
that he took any interest in my little
likes. I suppose he knows that L have
birthdays, like other people, but he
never makes any sign that he does,
and as for celebrating the anniversary
of when we met or were married, he
would just as much think of celebrat-
ing the day we hired the cook.
soon after we were married my
birthday occurred, and when he passed
it over without making me any little
present I was cut to the quick, but
was too proud and hurt to demand as
my right attentions and remembrances
that were not prompted by love, and so
1 let the omission pass in silence, and
that stablished precedent of neglect
that has continued to this day.
II think now, that is where 1 made
a mistake. I should have taught my
husband TO consider me. / should have
taught him how to treat me. 1 should
have undertaken his sentimental educa-
ton, and it would have been better for
us both if / had"
