A Bath young lady informs the
Times of a peculiar accident that
befcll her recently. She was wash
ing her hands at the kitchen sink at
dusk and while still allowing the
stream of water from the faucet II
dribble upon one hand she turned on
the electric light with the other. She
was knocked down upon the floor by
the resulting shock and did not re-

Tense, and by a fine not exceeding
two hundred dollars for each subse-
quent offence"
A NJ. G. Soule,
Chief Bureau of Inspection.
The intention of the above statute
is to secure correct weight in al
packages of food stuffs. OF course
some annoyance is experienced in
complying with the same, but as pro
dueers and consumers both become ia
miliar with the matter the difficulty
will disappear The principal effect
in this section pertains to dairy pro
ducts. Many farmers have been us
ing printed butter paper but few
have had the weight stamped thereon
as is necessary under the enforce
ment of this regulation. We understand
the present law requires the me-
weight to be upon the paper in which
butter is wrapped, and that new
regulation will soon become effective
which will also require the name and
address of the producer.
