that formerly masqueraded under the
glib caption of trade secret" and
which took its most common form in
cans and baskets with false bottoms,
scales loaded" against the consumer
and the other little forms of fraud
which are now being exposed through
the work of the bureau.
Carrying its function a step further,
the bureau of standards is working
with state officials throughout the
country in an effort to bring about
uniform laws which will make such
fraudulent methods illegal. Already

of apple and lime barrels for use in

ing, however. to prove to housewives
that there is little use in obtaining
quality at apparently low prices if the
quantity is consistently cut short by
the dealer. In states where strict
weights and measures laws have been
adopted the bureau is urging women
to provide themselves with set of
household weights and measures where
they are receiving in exchange for
certain sum of money; and it is like
wise urging these same women to re-
port to the state authorities the names
of dealers who are violating the law.
OF course, education has warned pur-
chasers of the false bottom and the
loaded scales, and such methods of
trickery are now passing, but there is
still a widespread use of the liquid

of the denominations needed for cur
rent use" he continued. Thus where
the price of bread was advanced from
a nickel to 6 cents there was large
local demand for pennies. Movies ere
ate call for nickels and dimes. The
holiday season is invariably accompa-
MED with requests for gold pieces and
new bills for Christmas.
I'm the panic of 1907 there was an
urgent call from New York, Philadel
phia and other cities for bills Of the
largest denominations for the banks to
make their balances at the clearing
houses. An investigation showed that
millions in big bills had been with
drawn from circulation by timid or
cautious depositors and lodged where
they would be Immediately available.
Thus the banks, having frightened
their customers by their own timidity,
the depositors hurt the banks and the
community by their self-protective
measures.
amy one can go to the Treasury or
subtreasuries and request new money
for old or an exchange of bills for some
other denominations: but most of these
requests come through banks which
need different bills or coins for their
own purposes or who are redeeming
bills no longer fit for circulation.
The Treasury issues notes in eleven
denominations. from one dollar to ten
thousand, of the various kinds of

count. The department does not de-
stroy the bills which are only dirty.
1t sends them to the money laundry,
where they are washed in soapsuds,
rinsed and ironed until they come out
as fresh as ever, to be again placed In
circulation. Each of the four launder-
ing machines has a capacity of $4,000
bills a day at a cost of 10 cents hun
bred; so it pays.
But the bills which are unfit for
such treatment are taken in packages
of hundreds, done up in straps marked
top and bottom with the count and the
name of the counters, to the canceling
machine. AS fast as one can count, the
package is punched through four times
once in each quarter of every bill.
Thence it goes to another room, where
gullotine driven by electric power
descends upon the face of George or
Martha Washington, Jefferson, Cleve-
land or some other person whose por-
trait has adorned the bill, dividing the
package longwise into halves.
After recounting separately each
half and checking the totals the re-
mains are macerated. the pulp Is rolled
into sheets and sold for commercial
purposes for about $40 ton.

touch with the banking world, antici-

But in order to do this easily and
to avoid the expense of money merry

York, Chicago, New Orleans, San Fran

Treasury maintains a system of bal
ances, credits, transfers and offsets

foist a grade of gasoline that is nearly
80 per cent kerosene upon the public, the
prott the dealer makes is being chalked
up against the cost of living. The bureau
hopes TO arrive at a simple solution Of the
gasoline problem. which will enable every
automobile owner to make his own gaso-
line test and to refuse a substitute that
is half kerosene.
Unusual attention has been attracted to
the recent work of the bureau of fish
cries in discovering and popularizing
three new food-fish varieties within the
past two years. The latest of these dis
coveries' has been made within the past
three weeks. 1t concerns the edible quail
tiles of the bow-fin, or mudfish, a species
common enough in the creeks and rivers
of the United States. This fish, for years
supposedly worthless, makes a food prod
uct of succulent qualities when taken
from the water in cold weather and
smoked.
Another recent discovery of the bu-
reau Of fisheries Is the grayfish. or dog
shark. This fish is now being canned in
great quantities, whereas it was formerly
considered of no value at ALL 1t has the
same habits of the bass or any other salt
water game fish. and the name of dog
shark is rapidly dropping into disuse.
Nearly every housewife in the land
has had occasion To sample the quality
and flavor of tilefish, third dis
covery' of the fisheries bureau. Today,
tilefsh sell at prices ranging from
10 to 20 cents pound and dealers are
unable to supply the demand. Three
years ago fishing vessels were throw
ing overheard thousands of tons of
tilefsh. which was considered of no
food value whatever
In the Department of Agriculture the
active fight against the high cost Of
living centers chiefly in two adjuncts
of that executive branch-the bureau
of animal industry and the office of
markets and rural organization
Take, for instance, the hog market
1t is estimated that fully 80 per cent of
ell hogs die either of cholera or in
the slaughter house. And many pigs
die before they reach the killing stage
If man raises ten hogs and three OF
them die of cholera the price he re-
ceives for the remaining seven must
be high enough to pay for the useless
care and expense that went into the
raising of the three dead ones
In the end. the cost of hog cholera
is charged up to the consumer when he
buys his pork chops. The bureau of
animal industry won't let bad meat
reach the consumer. but the bad meat
may have cost as much to raise as the

III ii ing with no less than four of
~ his great executive depart
ments of government. In addition,
there are four other departments whose
work indirectly tends to cut down the
living expenses of the American peo
pie. and an investigation of the cost of
living is now in progress in the Dis
trict of Columbia.
For the last two decades. at least,
the cost of living in the United States
has amounted to a problem. but since
the outbreak of the European war it
has become almost a crisis. Foodstuffs
are soaring to prices scarcely equaled
since the rebellion: articles of clothing
and of everyday necessity are daily
reaching new levels Coincident with
widespread tendency to reduce the size
of the purchaseable unit.
Foremost in the governments fight
against the high cost of living stands
the Department of Commerce. probably
by virtue of its peculiar functions.
which include, according to the word
ing of the law which created this de-
partment, the work of promoting the

1t will be contended. perhaps. that

should go the honor of being in the
front rank in the war against high

good meat. So the consumer must pay
the added expense of hog cholera.
Here's where the bureau of animal
industry begins to fight the high cost
cost of living: 1t sends agents into
the ''field"-which means the nation
at large-and those agents instruct the
raisers of hogs how to inoculate the
bureau and which is slowly multiplying
the heavy inroads of cholera.
This bureau. in other words. is con-
stantly toiling to show meat growers
food animals. Although it may APP
pear that reduction of expense is not
paralleled with a similar reduction in
the cost the consumer pays. the reduc-
ton in price must follow sooner or
later.
The same bureau Is constantly warn
ing and advising farmers how to keep
their cows healthy. healthy. well tended
herd of cows means milk produced at a
comparatively low cost. At low cost OF
production farmer can afford to accept
a reasonable price for his milk. If dis
inevitably follows that some one must
pay the bill. and it has long been an eco
nomic axiom that to the consumer falls
that doubtful honor,
The whole work of the Department of
Agriculture is to show the farmer how he
may raise his crops In the best. most
modern. cheapest and easiest way. But
into existence a new branch of this de-
partment which is showing the farmer
how to combine and to cooperate his
forces in order that he may avail himself
of the best market conditions.
He Is being shown where lies the best
market for certain product. He Is
shown how to grade his output, whether
1t be hay or potatoes, in manner that
will command a scale Of prices for each
separate grade. He is given lessons in
the most approved packing and shipping
methods, that wastage through these
channels may be reduced to minimum
Latterly this same branch Of the Depart
ment of Agriculture is even showing the
farmer how to transact his business on
commercial paper basis that eliminates
delay and suspicion.
If the work of the Office of markets and
rural organization could be summed up
in phrase it might be said to be elimi-
mating the high cost of clumsy market
ing: and 1t requires no commercial seer
to apprehend that in clumsy. badly man
aged marketing there Is an inevitable cost
that the consumers checkboo: must neu-
tralize in the end.
At this time there exists in the minds
of many the strong belief that high mar
ket prices are the result and outcome OF
fraud; that the war demand Of Europe
is being made shallow excuse for un-
warranted price boosting and that in
certain centers Of population dealers have
