Coal ice are commodities upon

vestigation conducted last year in the
city of Evansville, Ind. Indicated that
practically all of the scales used fO-
coal were weighing short The loss

Coal was advertised at 10 cents

an order for 10 bushels Of coal, for
which she paid a dollar Before the
present system of inspection was IN
auEurated, il was found that she was
apt TO receive from seven and a half
to eight bushels. In selling In larger
quantity il was not unusual to find
that from one to two hundred pounds
upon each ton was allowed as tare, and
in many Instances the tare was even
greater.

tiers where dry goods are sold, so
placed as to indicate a yard measure
ment Under the direction of Dr. Reich
mann. of New York, all tacks over n
eighth of an inch in diameter are for
hidden for this purpose. The sealer
simply takes them out and replaces
them with small escutcheOns or double
pointed tacks. In one county in
New York a seaIer collected over d
quart Of brass tacks which had been
used for this purpose
In Massachusetts the use Of counter

also compelled the manufacturers u
provide a little brass ferrule upon the
ends of all yard sticks 1t has been
noted that clerks. when not busy have
a habit of tapping on the floor with
