"Let The Seller Beware"

honest weights and measures in their
communities should take tip from
New York's enforcement officials.
Consumers need to know what their
rights are, and what to do if they sus-
pect their rights are being violated.
New York City's Weights and Meas
ures Bureau chief tells them. Over the
municipal broadcasting station, every
Saturday morning from 8:15 to $3.50,
he takes up one aspect of the weights
and measures problem.
First time it was a general intro
duction to the consumers stake in
weights and measures enforcement.
Coal was the second subject, and spe-
cific information was given coal buy
ers so they could make sure they were
getting every ton they paid for.
The Saturday morning programs go
by the general title of "Let the Buyer
Beware"
"By exposing weights and measures
practices that cheat the buyer" say
New York officials, 1--WE not only fur
ther stretch the purchasing power of
the consumers dollar, but also eli
inmate unfair competition for the
honest seller" The series ties in with
the ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS talks on the
best food buys Of the day also given
by the city's Department of Markets.
Follow These Paint Rules
Rules for paint brush wielders are
simple but important.
Ei,~cf 1occo,, II, tho oCpc,,n,orc, int
textbook is to use paints for the pur-
poses for which they are intended.
Follow the manufacturers advice.
House paints aren't meant for inter-
ior walls and ceilings, and fine inter-
ior enamel is likely to prove disastrous
on the outside of front door.
Second, paints with overboastful la
bells and advertising, claiming super
lative merit for practically all kinds
Of service, should be regarded with
suspicion. Stick to paints that are
recommended for specific surface not
those that boast they are good for
anything.
Third, add nothing to the paint but
what the manufacturer recommends
on the label. Concoctions that claim
to make paints go farther, last longer
and wear better rarely make the paint
any better than it is in it's prepared
state.
Fourth, when you do over an old
painted surface, be sure to use the
same type of paint used originally for
better results. Exceptions to this rule
hold only when experience has shown
that one kind of paint goes over an
other kind satisfactorily. It's good
economy as well as efficiency to make
note of the formula Of the paint you
use so that you know what to buy
when it comes time to repaint sur
face.
Careful studies of paint formulas
and labels on paint cans, and the keep
ing of records as to the date of each
paint job and kind Of paint used are
just as important as proper handling
of the brush when you decided to do
a paint job.

There is no doubt that the great

Exposure occurs in many ways. The
New York Health authorities have
often warned against bathing in the
contaminated waters around New
York. The typhoid bacilli lurk in
various places and many slips oc-
cur which allow typhoid to get into
the drinking water or food. In Mon

raw milk was allowed to be distrib-
uted without adequate pasteuriza-
tion. Over 5000 cases of typhoid
developed in six months.
The only sure method of preven-
ton is for each person to acquire

vaccine. Three doses are given at
about five-day intervals. School

flood proportions, and water runoff
in the hills is quick anyway.
They rode on and on, sometimes
having to wade their horses in the
water because banks were sheer
cliffs; but they saw no place where
the stolen cattle had left the
stream. After while they came
to the forks, where Ghost river
split three ways. Shot waved his
men together again.
"Now We'll have to divide in two
groups here" he said. "As you
know, only two of the three forks
have water in them. That third one
is just a food bed; it didn't hardly
run much after the rain last week,
and it hasn't any in 48 hours at
least. So we can see from here the
cows didn't go that way. Escobar
was smart enough not to take them
up dry stream bed, of course"
That's right" somebody put in.
"Okay, We'll go up the right fork,
you fellows go on up the middle
one, and forget the dry one at the
left. We're likely to get into Mex
leo. But ride till you know COWS
couldn't go any farther, then come
on back here. Don't follow the
tracks too far if you find them.
Come back for the rest Of us first.
Five or six men ain't-isn't enough
aren't enough-to tackle Luis
Escobar. We need all eleven of us
for that. Just find where he took
the COWS out of the water, then
high-tail it back. And We'll all go
and ride him down. think we're
going to click this time, men,"
Shot spoke confidently and felt
that way, too. He rode with four
companions, keeping very alert lest
they be amhushed. He fully real
lied the danger they faced. The
branch stream became narrower
and rougher. After mile of it the
men had to swim their horses a
time or so, but they realized that
cattle could swim also, @soSSfhey
pushed on. No cattle tracks left the
stream anywhere, either side. More
and more did the stream snake
back up into canyon country now.
Often the banks were rock walls
and moving UP the stream became
not only difficult but hazardous as
well.
Finally they came to spot
where two mountains leaned over
against each other with rock shoul-
ders, creating very narrow gorge
and a waterfall more than 80 feet
tall. They heard the cascade before
they saw it even, and when they
got there they reined in to stare
at the majesty and beauty Of it.
"Well," said Shot Rogers after a
bit. 'It's a cinch. they didn't climb
up there. At least we know which
way they>did go, though. All We got
to do is go back and team up with

succumbed yesterday in Moore cOun-
tv hospital, Pinehurst, the third and
fourth victims of an automobile
crash on the Charlotte-Raleigh high
way two miles south Of Hemp, Mon

and Charlie Morgan were the first
two to succumb following the crash.
They died short time after the ac-
cident.
Seven persons were in the car at
the time Of the crash into Buffalo

A coroner's inquest into the acci-

"They all turned. "Yep," said
Shot Rogers, equally inadequate.
Men who live by their muscles
seldom are articulate about such
things. They feel more deeply than
they ever show. Indeed, such boun-
ties as a sunset Or a sunrise, or a
buck drinking at a water hole, or
a field made golden in spring by
Arizona poppies, or 1.-THE young
lioness slipping gracefully along a
rocky ledge, are the rewards these

isfaction. He had once faced a
choice of going in to Phoenix and
doing Office work, maybe going to
college first, or of staying out in
the wild free country where real
beauty is. He had postponed the de-
cision-and just kept on postpon-
ing it while he stayed outdoors.
"It's not the sun that concerns
us, reckon" he suggested now.
"It's tracks. Now you men from the

Almost hoped he was, in fact. But
here was proof. Men lRatlled at

horsemen or so had driven off four
times that many valuable steers.
Lets just trail along behind
them, all the way to kingdom

They'll lead us right to Escobar's

The trailing was easy. No rain
had interfered. It soon became ap-

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

M. A. c.: "Please give some in
formation about mucous colitls -
cause and best diet for it.
Answer: Mucous colitis is COM
plicated condition in which there
are attacks of diarrhea with cramps
and passage of tough mucus. The
causes are the physical build OF the
body, nervous constitution and die
tary errors. Those with mucous
colitis cannot stand an ordinary
mixed rough diet. Cathartic addic-
tion is frequent contributing fac
tor. In treatment, the diet should
be smooth. My friend, DR.. Horace
Soper, of st. Louis, recommends in
his excellent treatise on Clinical
Gastro-Enterology high vitamin
foods, such as fruit juices, tomato
juice, etc. But diet alone will not
cure these cases. Any form of self
treatment is liable to s,e unsuccess-
full.

Nobody was safe, except those who
had had the disease. Nobody was
safe because everywhere drinking
water or milk was contaminated, or
food was contaminated by flies.
The water looked all right; it
smelt all right. Nobody could tell
good water from bad water. The
farmer would show a glass of water
from his well. 1t sparkled in the
sunshine = clear as crystal. No
taste, no odor of stagnation. No, sir
nobody could tell him that was
infected. Yet, there were maybe a
case or two of typhoid in his own
family from drinking that very
water.
Great Reduction
In 1905 there were nearly ten
thousand deaths from typhoid fe-
yer in the United States. In 1888
there were 248.
The first great step in preventing
typhoid, &s well as other dysentery
diseases, was to filter the drinking
water. In 1898, Robert Koch, the
great bacteriologist, was asked to
determine why cholera was preva-
lent in Hamburg, when neighbor-
ing city, Altona, was free of out
breaks. Both cities are located on
the river Elbe and both used its
water for drinking. The skeptics
thought that if cholera and typhoid
were water borne, as the bacteriolo-
gists insisted both cities should
have the same incidence.
Koch was not content with show
ing that Altona's water was filtered
while Hamburg's was not. He iso-
lated cholera germs from the Elbe.
Then he showed that they were
present in the water mains of Ham
burg, but not present in the mains
Of Altoona. Then he clinched the ar

CHAPTER TWENTY-NINE

CHAPTER TWENTY -NlNE
NEITHER Shot nor Lorena re-
vealed their suspicious in the night
conference there; nor did Shot ever
explain why he led his men to the
east range, in contradiction of an
nounced plans. Shot was in COM
mand. He held his talk. But pri-
Hately both he and Lorena knew
that Escobar's spies had performed
well.
The conference ended rather
abruptly when George Brazee told
everybody to go to bed and get
some rest, then make future plans
after breakfast. But Shot Rogers
and his fighting men (who, en-
barrassingly, had as yet found no
fighting to do) finished the confer
ence in their own manner before
retiring. There in their wing of the
cowboys sprawling bunk house
they talked briefly while removing
spurs and boots and clothing. Most
of the men slept in their under
wear; some kept their shirts on in
addition. Shot himself blew out the
oil lamp and added a linal word.

| A young cowboy couldn't resist
putting in a question at this juno
ture. He spoke through the dark
ness, and all the others were keen
to hear the answer.
, "Say, Shot," the cowboy said,

you tonight? Right in front of

that amt like you! If you're gettin'

bunk and make you holler calf rope

else spoke. In Is minutes the room
was permeated with snorings, some
not so gentle.

mounted again and riding toward
the Hump. They had taken only
four hours Of sleep, but they were
accustomed to doing with little, as
any ranch worker must be. On this

Oregon Law Approved
By Security Board

The Social Security Board an
nounced today approval of Oregon's S
unemployment compensation law, as
amended this week, and a grant of
s72,443 to Oregon for unemployment
compensation in January.
The question Of whether the
Oregon law conformed to standards
of the social security act arose out
of enactment by initiative proceed
ings last fall of a statute which regu-
lated the activities of labor groups
and organizations.
A hearing was held on the ques-
ton December 10. This week, the
board said the Oregon Legislature
enacted law, retroactive in its
application, to incorporate in the
State unemployment compensation
law the requirements of the social
security act.
The Legislatures action, the board
said. makes certain that "unemploy-
ment compensation benefits shall
not be denied to individuals who
refused to accept new jobs under
'yellow-dog contracts or under sub
standard labor conditions, or by
reason of strike, lockout or other
labor disputes"
