PAYS S25 FINE IN
SHORT BREAD CASE
+ j. Fairbanks Explains to Court that
Bread Was Bought in Large Lots.
Supposed to BE Full Weight.

In the municipal court yesterday after
noon Floyd j. Fairbanks, who was
charged with offering for sale 10 loaves
Of bread which were short u ounces in
aggregate weight from the mark on the
outside of the packages, pleaded guilty
and was fined $25 and costs of Sc.
After entering plea of guilty Mr..
Fairbanks said to the court that he
bought the bread from the Zeno bakery
in wholesale lots for distribution in var
ious towns and took the bakers word for
the weight, having a right to suppose that
the weight stated on the packages was
correct. lie said much of the bread he
never saw. When he learned last week
that Mr.. Zeno had been fined for putting
ont short weight bread he said he took
the matter up with Mr.. Zeno.
Judge A. f. Cudworth told Mr. Fair
banks that the law made it incumbent
upon the dealers to protect the con-
sumeTs. and while he appreciated the sit
uation it was nevertheless the duty of a
dealer to know whether the goods were
up to the advertised weight.
