RETAIL MEN URGE
FULL WEIGHT PACKAGE

Enoch Brayford, proprietor of the
Rockford store, who represented Hood
River county at the annual convention
of the Retail Merchants Association
of Oregon, held in Salem last week,
returned Saturday. The meeting con
vened last Wednesday with over 100
delegates in attendance. All parts Of
the state, said Mr.. Brayford on his
return, north, south, east and west,
were we'll represented. The evils of
the credit system were discussed, and
the question was placed before the
meeting. The association has decided
to wage a war on fake advertising.
Advertising on hotel registers and ex-
will be tabooed. Mr.. Brayford in ad-
dressing the association told his fellow
delegates that Hood River retail mer-
chants saved more than 81, 900 last
year by refusing to patrOnize fake ad-
vertising schemes. Medford merch-
ants reported a big saving by the same
means.
A banquet, at which about 200 were
in attendance, was held on Thursday
night at the Marion Hotel. The
gathering proved one Of the most in
teresting events of the convention.
Several members of the Legislature
were present and responded to toasts.
The address Of Senator Selling, "On
Merchandising, was especially inter-
esting, said Mr.. Brayford. Mr. Bray
ford responded to the toast, "Get
There"
Members of the association will pre-
pare bill to be presented to the legis-
lature to make all state concerns put
out full weight and full measure pack
ages. Notwithstanding the fact that
the Capitol will be swarmed with lob
byists bent on convincing the legisla-
ture that Oregon manufacturers and
iobbers must sell dishonest packages,
in order to compete with wicked rivals
in other states, Mr.. Brayford thinks
that the measure will become law.
Mr.. Brayford was reelected to the
Office Of third vice president of the or

AFFECTS BIRTH RATE.

Physician Tells Of Experiments With
the Thyroid Gland.
The mysterious thyroid gland may
exert a direct influence for large or
small families, according to Dr. Reid
Hunt Of Washington, who gave the
result Of his experiments to the Amer
lean Medical association.
In his experiments with the thyroid
gland Dr. Hunt had observed remark
able effects. He fed three groups Of
four mice for four months and found
that fecundity or sterility depended
on the activity or idleness of the gland.
4 group of mice was fed on oatmeal
and liver. This stimulated the activ-
ity Of the gland. and at the end of four
months there were no little mice. On
the other hand, the second group,
which had crackers, milk and eggs, in
creased to 101 IN the period.
Cornmeal and milk greatly reduced
the birth rate in a third group OF four
mice. Fed on this diet. they had sixty
nine young in four months.
