sive proof OF one of the causes of
the high cost of living.

in some instances that almost ten per

Inspections General
The amendments made to the
weights and measures Law by the
Legislature this year make if possible
for such Inspections To be made in
villages and rural communities. Be.
fore such inspections could not be

Listen to this
| One-Half Measure
| A quart measure was confiscated
which was half filled with hardened
varnish in which was imbedded a
small funnel. The grocer had been
using this measure for years as Q
full quart measure.
| Another measuring device conflscat
ed was ~ barrel-shaped contrivancc.

measures, which was discarded In this
eountry almost a century ago
Already in cities and counties there
have been condemned and conflscated

- Adds to the Cost.
Therefore, IT Is easy to see that when
a consumer Is a Victim OF short weight
and measures, 4 large percentage IS
added to the cost of living Some OF
the measuring devices conhscated were
airanged TO deceive the consumer Oh.
of fully one-half OF his purchase. This
was an increase Of 100 per cent to
the consumer from the time that mea-
sure was used
Short weighing and measuring is
one of the causes of the high cost of
living that the state dairy and food
department Is determined to bring to
an end II It can possibly be done.

and somewhat deaf street commission

with a large gentleman from the rural
districts who was much deafer than
Doc" The farmer drove up North
Ninth street, which is being remade,
and hitched his horse, aged about 90
and remarkable for its immense name
and tail, in front of friends house,
then the owner of the remarkable
horse went on the veranda of friends
house and a noisy conversation began.
Now the remarkable horse and the
vehicle it was attached to were in the
way of the street workers, so Gem
went to the owner of the animal to ask
him to take horse and rig to some
side street. The following dialogue en-
sued:
Genn-"Please remove your horse
and rig to some side street, they are
in the way"
Farmer-"Yep. Dobbin has a Won
derful tail and name"
Genn-"No this is not Main street /
said get your horse and rig out of the
way"
Farmer-"Doboin's over twenty
years old. His name and tail was that
large when he was just a colt"
Genn-"What are you talking about
said"
Here the other people on the veran-
da. who had been enjoying the debate.
decided it was time to end it and in
clear loud voices unraveled the tangle
TO the satisfaction of Gem and the
proud owner of Dobbin. Dobbin and
the rig were removed and the block
AIDED street workers were again able
TO resume their lGbors.

(National News Associa tion)

Washington, Aug. 1.-The senate
was informed by the house today that
the lower body cannot accept the SEN
ate amendments to the campaign pub
licity bill. This notice is the result of
"a caucus marked by much wrangling,

ally had their way after delivering
themselves of a number of fiery
speeches directed against the plan to
extend the campaign publicity to the
primaries in the south Democrats of
that section feared that this may mean
Federal interference with the race
problem which is now adjusted by
municipal primaries and negro dis
franchisement laws.

Attempts to Strike Meats,

with a Failure.
(National News Association

Washington, Aug. 1.-Voting to.
gether the Democrats and insurgent
Republicans in the senate absolutely
demonstrated their mastery of the sit
uation by passing the farmers free list
bill today. The vote was 4S to 80 Two
or three regular Republicans assisted
in the performance, notably Senators
McCumber and Nelson.
The combination was reached by
the same methods pursued with the
wool bill. The house bill, or Under
wood measure, was voted down. La
Toilette, as before, moved to recon
slider This prevailed. Amendments
were then offered by Senator Kern,
the effect was to have free trade in
meat and cereal products only when
other countries granted like conces-
sions to the United States in these pro-
ducts. This was all the insurgents had
contended for. 1t passed in that form
with IS votes to spare. The original
bill was lost by vote of 80 to SO, the
vice president not voting.
La Toilette was Master.
Senator La Toilette was the master
hand in the negotiations and it is gen.
orally conceded to have been his vic
tory. After the bill had been read, Sen
ator German, insurgent Republican, of
North Dakota offered an amendment
to strike the saddlery schedule from
the bill This was defeated without a
roll call.
Senator Bailey offered an amend
ment to strike meats from the free list
This on roll call was defeated Is to
so. Senator Bailey was the only Dem
ocrat voting for this amendment. The
Texas senator then moved to strike
out the provision placing flour on the
free list. In view of the overwhelming
vote against striking out free meat, he
did not ask for a roll call, and the
amendment failed by vive voce vote
Bailey's next proposition was to place
lemons on the free list. 1t was de-
feated Is to SO. An amendment pre-
sented by Senator Hepburn to strike
lumber from the free list was defeated
without a roll call. Senator Jones
was successful in getting a record vote
on his proposition to eliminate shin
giles from the free list, but it failed by
a vote of to 70.
The senators who supported Jones
shingle amendment were Borah,
Bourne, Hepburn, Jones, Lorimer and

Hamilton, Ont, Aug. Eight bodies
were recovered from the ruins of the
Hamilton Insane asylum which was
destroyed by fire early today. Seventy
| feared the other victims remain in the
| debris The presence of mind and the
nerve of the officials and attendants
prevented frightful loss Of life.
| The main stairway was destroyed
and this made it necessary to knock
the frenzied insane patients insensi

windows into life nets.
There were many who sustained in
juries by being trampled upon in the
a thousand patients.
DeIirious Terror Of Patients.
| The two upper floors and east wing
| were burned and the lower floors
/ flooded with water. Attaches who
worked in the rescue work in the up
per corridors told thrilling stories of
the scenes enacted during the height
Of the fire. 1t was not until the exit
by the main stairway was cut off by
the flames that the delirious terror of
the inmates reached its climax and
women who had been tractable for
months became violent at the noise
and confusion. The shouts of the fire
fighters and the cracking roars of the
flames aroused them to a state of
frenzy. Only those who maintained
some degree of calmness were per-
mitted to reach from the windows and
then were seized as soon as they land
ed.
eIoodshed Prevented.
If the officials had lost their self pos
session bloodshed might have follow
ed. AS it was they gave battle with the
maniacs as the patients were rendered
insensible they were dropped from the
windows into nets. Fearing the scores
of madmen would escape into Haml-
ton extra guards were placed about
, them to watch them.
CONSERVATION spread among the res
idents of the city when it was learned
that the inmates of the asylum were
under guard upon the grounds and has
ty steps were taken to arrange new
and safe quarters for the patients.
The official list places the total num-
Der of dead at eight.
