To protect herself properly, every
housekeeper should provide herself
with an accurate pair of scales and
Surely there is no one who will not
recognize these tables at once, as the
one learned at school when a child
Now is the time to put that knowl-
edge into everyday practice.
The habit of taking the honesty or
accuracy of grocers or other dealers
for granted without verifying the
weights or measures of supplies
brought into the home is costing
housekeepers lot of money.
To be absolutely fair to your mer-
chant the scale you buy for the kitch-
en- should be accurate and of as good
a type as can be afforded. A scale
should be tested and sure or an limo
cent and honest dealer might be mis-
judged.
We have in the city hall an officer
makes the rounds of grocery stores
and markets twice a year testing
weights and measures and when
! found correct a brass tag or city
| seal is put on them. If scales are in
! ferior and inaccurate they are de-
/ strOyed by the city sealer
! Many instances. have come to me
/ from hOIsekeepors of short measure
and weights from their dealers and
they have seemed at a loss to know
what TO do. This same Office is for
such complaints and when two Of
| three come from one place they in
vestigate and if the grocer's scale
is wrong it is set right. But he tells
me that nine times out of ten it is
the incorrect scale in the home rather
than the one in the grocery store.
SHOULD MEASURE CLOTH.
In this particular city, except in
isolated cases, believe we are quite
free from incorrect weights and meas
ures. Almost everyone has read o
the frightful cheating and loss on tht
housekeepers' side in New York 81
much so that the mayor issued ;
pamphlet entitled, Mayors Bureau o
Weights and Measures" and with tn
Office and telephone at the dispose
of housekeepers for encouraging tn
| entering of complaints, after whicl
an investigation would follow.
Not only groceries and market
should be applicable for this testing
but dry goods as well. Use a var
stick rather than an inaccurate tap
measure for measuring dry goods tn
tape measure, made from cottoI
shrinks or stretches with use and i
not a fair measure. To be sure tn

When you darken your hair with Sage

Preparing this mixture, though, at home

dampen a sponge or soft brush with it

all gray hair disappears, and, after an
other application or two, your hair be-
comes beautifully darkened, glossy and
luxuriant. You will also discover dan

a sign of old age, and as we all desire
