COSTS ? MILLION A DAY
Already the Socialists Waikout Has
 Caused 12-Million Dollar Loss.

Brussels. April 20.-Twelve mil lion dollars is the figure compiled in trustworthy circles of Belgium's loss in the first six days of the strike for equal political rights which has been joined by about 100000 men, half the working men of the cOu2jrY.
 Two-lhirds of the two million dollars a day falls according to the Socialist trade union leaders, on the employers and supporters of the existing system. The organizers of the strike affirm that the men, by exercising sef-denial, can hold out as long as the capitalists are willing to endure their deprivation of dlvi- dends for a political reason only. All appearances go to show that the strike vii continue for a consider able period.

MUST GIVE FULL MEASURE
Notice Relative TO the Sale. of
Berries

Berries
All persons selling berries, wheth-
er in small or large quantities, and
household purchasers of berries.
should bear in mind that the dry
quart contains 81 is cubic inches and
liquid quart 81 S-4 cubic inches,
therefore. the sale of berries by Ii
quid quart is short selling twenty
per cent and renders the seller liza
BILE to fine. If liquid measure is used
for convenience, the extra amount
should be measured out to equal the
dry measure The simpler and safer
way is TO use the dry measure or
berry basket of standard dry measure
Dimensions. The latter are so com
mon that there is no excuse for short
selling. Any assistance or informa-
ton will be gladly rendered upon re-
quest.
