poor and making every sacrifice
to enlarge my little store in Glas-

of fourteen, faithful and willing
and honest. One day | heard him
complaining, and with justice,
that his clothes were so shabby
that he was ashamed to 60 to

"There's no chance of my get

me. Dads out of work, and it
takes all of my wages to pay the

then took a sovereign from my
carefully boarded savings and
bought the boy a stout warm suit
of blue cloth. He was SO gratfnl
that felt repaid for my sacrifice.
But the next day he didn't come
to work. | met his mother IN the
street and asked her the reason.

DDS of production and handling.
The sale of eggs unfit for food
is a violation of the Tennessee
food and pure law, being defined
as "adulterated" by reason of the
fact that they consist Gin whole
or in part of a filthy decomposed
or putrid anamal or vegetable
substance"
1t is also regarded by this de-
partment as a violation of law to
sell cold storage eggs or stale eggs
as fresh eggs or to sell eggs as of
a certain grade or quality when
or quality when in fact they are
represented to be.
The only reliable and practical
method of determining the qua
lily of an egg without breaking
1t is by Gambling, and this is the
only safe plan for dealers to pur-
sue to avoid selling bad eggs and
thereby violating the law. Far
mers and their wives can easily
learn this simple operation, and
instructions will be sent by this
department when thew are appli-
ed for,

Eggs.


BY Inspector ID. ]. Frazier.
It is estimated that the annual
loss in the state of Tennessee is
from two to three million dollars
from the spelling of eggs. The
greater part of this sum could be
saved by proper care in the pro-
duction, gathering, handling and
marketing of eggs.
Infertile eggs keep much long
er than fertile. Therefore all
mature cocks should be kept
away from the hens except when
the eggs are to be used for hatch
ing.
The farmer or poultryman
should gather eggs daily and mar
ket as often as possible. So also
should the country storekeepers
and produce buyers ship eggs
promptly. The shorter the time
from the hen to the ultimate con-
sumer the less chances will be for
spelling.
When necessary to be stored,
should be kept in cool, dry room
free from bad odors.
The custom of holding eggs for
an advance in price is bad one
since the loss by spelling often
more than offsets the increase In
price.
The producer should insist on
selling his eggs to the dealer on
quality basis, or Gloss off," rath-
er than on cease count" The
dealer, of course in buying by
cease count" bases his price on
a probable average loss and the
honest farmer who sells strictly
freshleggs helps to pay for the bad
eggs sold by INSCRIPTIONS per-
sons.
The produce dealers of the state
can do SO much to improve condi-
tions by buying Gloss off" and fix
ing prices according to quality
and thus encourage better meth.

Paper Itself Was Evidence.

At a certain college custom or
dains that an examination time
each of the candidates shall write
the following pledge at the bot
tom of his papers:
81 hereby declare, on nv hon.
or, that | have neither given nor
received assistance during the
examination"
One student, after handing in
one of the papers, suddenly re-
membered that in his haste he
had forgotten to put the required
pledge on his paper.
The examiner looked at him
over the top of his glasses and
dryly remarked:
"Quite unnecessary. Your pa
per in itself is sufficient evidence.
I've just been correcting it'll"

Buying Paper.
BY Inspector D. |. Frazier

The average cost of the COM
mon wrapping paper, paper bags
and paper trays, as used in gro
Gerry stores, meat markets, etc., is
about sc per pound. Owing to a
questionable "trade custom" qhis
paper is often weighed in with
the article purchased and is paid
for by the consumer, in most In
stances, enormous profit. Here
is an example: Bacon, when
sold at Doc pound, is wrapped
in paper and weighed, paper and
all. The paper is thus paid for
at the same price per pound as
the bacon, that is, at Doc per
pound or a profit of 25c per
pound on the paper, which is 800
per cent. Paper bags, when
weighed in with tea at Soc per
pound are sold at profit of 1000
per cent.
The excuse is often made by
dealers, when called to account
for doing this, that the paper cost
them something and that they
have to do something and that
they have to do this to come out.
The consumer is left to wonder
why the dealer could not thiuk of
some plan of adjusting the mat
ter which is mere equitable than
making him paw such an enor-
nous profit on the paper
Fortunately for the consumer,
two good laws were passed by the
last legislature, to be enforced by
the food and drugs department
of Tennessee, which will have the
wholesome tendency of breaking
up the old trade custom or sell
ing by gross weight. One of
these laws is known as the "Net
Weight Laws" and is an amend
ment of the food and drugs act.
1t provides that all foods in pack
age form must have stamped or
printed on the outside the net
weight in pounds, ounces or frac-
tions thereof. The other law is
known as the "Short Weight
Law and is chapter 35 of the first
session of the acts of 1918. 1t pro-
vides that no commodities shall
be sold which are less than the
weight, measure or numerical
count which they are represented
to be. These laws mean that when
a housewife calls for pound oil
coffee she is entitled to Is ounces
of coffee and not IA ounces OF
coffee and two ounces of paper,
and that pound of butter must
be 16 ounces of butter or not vary
therefrom materially
If you don't get a square deal
in this line report to this depart
ment or to the nearest county
sealer of weights and measures
whose duty it is to enforce these
laws.

Burglar With Kind Heart.

Fred Mayfeld, clerk in a cigar
store at Stockton and Ellis streets,
is grateful on account OF his
"burglar friend" He is also 500
richer than he was and he is hap
DIV in the thought that his annual
vacation is to become a realty.
Mayford kept a littlel private
saving bank of his own. This was
a small cigar box, with the cover
nailed OH tight and an aperture
in the top to admit coins. 1t was
lust like an old-fashioned child's
bank. 1t was Mayfield's vacation
bank, and from time to time he
would deposit quarter or a half,
a dime or nickel in the box. He
had planned to expend the ac-
cumulated money for his vaca-
tion.
Mayfield added to the fund in
the box from day to day, but did
not know how much he had de.
posted. One night a burglar
forced his way into the stand and
stole the wooden savings bank
Mayfield discovered the theft OF
his nest egg and told the story OF
the theft to many persons who
stopped to make purchases at the
stand. He mourned the theft, he
said, chiefly because his vacation
was called off.
Then he received letter, which
inclosed $50 in currency and the
following note: 81 burgled the
stand, but l do not want to keeI
your vacation money. Your
Burglar Friend"
