housekeeping is the leading bus

Why
This is the question II. r. Barn

sioner. asked i'm circular issued to-
day on the subject of weights and
measures. He then proceeded to
answer IL in the following way:
Because you have no scales in the
kitchen and no accurate measures
OF length or capacity in the house
by which to check up your pur-
chases. That's bad business.
Because you buy from dealers
who weigh in wrapping paper and
wooden dish when they sell you
meat. lard or butter. That's in
different business.
Because you buy ice by the lump
instead OF by actual weight and al
low the driver 10 take % or 40 pound
checks when he does not know how
much ice he has placed in the ice
box. That's dishonest business.
Because you don't buy brands of
food you know are pure. but take
whatever the grocer sends you.
That's foolish business.
Because you are not careful to
buy foods free from preservatives.
That's dangerous business.
Because you buy bacon by the
piece. lard by the pail potatoes by
the quarters worth. olives by the
bottle. breakfast food by the pack
age and don't know how much
bacon. lard. potatoes, olives or ce-
reals are costing you. That's extrav-
agant business.
Because you use milk from dirty
dairies, meat from diseased animals.

plorable business.
