Mr.. P. H. Cain, who was shot and
wounded yesterday by Mr.. w. j.
Weaver in front of the two mems
homes on East Market Street, was
pronounced to be out of danger late
yesterday afternoon by his attending
physician. His left eye was so ser
iously injured that it was necessary
to remove the ball yesterday after
noon.
AS soon as Mr.. Cain was pronounc
ed out of danger, Mr.. Weaver was re-
leased on a $4,000 bond. His bonds
men are his wife, Mrs. w. J. Weaver
and Mrs. w. w. Mcneil.
The news that Mr.. Cain was not
seriously injured reached the officials
before Mr.. Weaver was taken to the
county Jail and he promptly arranged
for bond.

coffee In that particular package was
produced in South America.
The picture of maple leaf on
can of sirup carries the fancy to the
delicious flavor and sweetness of the
product from Vermont, inducing pur.
chasers to pay more than they would
pay if they noted the statement in
very small type on the bottom of the
label that the product is corn sirup
favored with cane.
When Quantity Is Camouflaged.
The use of panel bottles which ap.
pear to have capacity of four ounces
of flavoring extract, but which on ac.
count of the thickness and contour Of
the sides cannotbe made to hold more
than two ounces, is an old practice to
deceive the housewife in regard to the
quantity. Even when the quality of
contents is marked on the bottle, the
purchaser is likely to judge the guam
tity more by the size of the bottle,
which is so apparent, than by an in
conspicuous statement, which can be
seen only by close observation.
A more recent device for making a
little bit of pepper or spice look like
whole lot is six-ounce tin package
with shaker top which, because 1t
cannot be removed without destroying
the package, prevents the purchaser
from observing that there are only two
ounces or less in the package.
Deceptive devices appearing on the
labels of foods or drugs subject to
the Jurisdiction of the federal food
and drugs act are in violation of that
law. The question as to whether any
given device is deceptive, and wheth-
er the deception is removed by cor
rective statements appearing else
where on the label, is one to be deter
mined by the facts in each case. Many
seizures have been effected and many
prosecutions maintained because of
the use of deceptive devices held to be
misleading. Some forms of devices,
although deceptive, which do not APP
| pear upon the labels have been held
not to be covered by the provisions Of
| the federal food and drugs act.
Action will be taken in all cases
believed to be in violation of the law,
say the officials. In the meantime con-
sumers can avoid being misled by de-
ceptive devices by carefully reading
the labels of all food and drug pack
ages.

years had been possessed with an anti
