compelled to soil bread by weight. They
sell II by tho loaf and make the loaf
heavy or light according To their own
good pleasure. This, according to in
formation collected by Senator Ball.
has resulted in heavy financial toll on
tho people of the District of Columbia
Looking over the laws governing tho
District, IL Is found that nowhere is
provision made TO force dealers to 1.-Two

dards. In these respects Washington
is In the rear of all States and import
ant municipalities. There seems to be
no punishment provided for the short
weighter or tho man who sells thirty
inches of cloth and calls II q yard.
The only remedy for the kind of
cheating indicated is civil suit and
citizens hesitate to go into court to get
a settlement for a claim involving a
small sum OF money. OF course the
honest trader gives honest weight and
honest measurement, but tho other kind
take advantage of the fact that thoy are
immune from prosecution should they
steal within tho law"
Bill Provides Remedy.
The Ball bill fills "A long felt need and
IL enacted IL Will place power In tho
hanos OF the United States district at
torney to prosecute as criminals men
who sell thirteen ounce loavcs of
bread representing that they each weigh
q pound.
"Of course its impossible to give an
estimate of the amount of toll that
certain bakeries have collected from
tho people by short weighting them"
said Senator Ball. My bill would great
ly curb the activities of these gentry
il IT wouldn't entirely eliminate the
practice.
But bread is not the only commodity
that the dealers make an iiiogitimato
profit out of through the process Of
short weighing. The small purchaser

The average citizen doesn't bother TO

South Carolina at last. People in this
state have been slow in getting ac-
quainted with the Airdale. He has
long been popular in the north and

once because Of his prowess as a big
game hunter. Out there he is used for
hunting bear; puma: and other sorts CT
big game and is valued.because Of his
fighting qualities With grit and
strength scarcely inferior to the! bun

over he is very fast on his feet, and is

ago scarcely any Of them were to be
seen. At last one Airdale has made
good with a rush as a member Of q
deer hunting pack near Charleston,
and we have heard of another one near
here which was described by it's own
er as the best rabbit dog he ever saw,
due to its trailing ability and its
swiftness in pursuit. The breed Is sure
to become more and more popular
