Cheating With Foot

The old-fashioncd GRO o k d
butcher who pressed his thumb on
the scales is too crude for 1871.
Austin said This is the age of
machinery and the modern cheat
ing butcher keeps up to date.
Some have a string attached 10
the scales so that they can de-
press the scales without getting a
thumb anywhere near the meat
The more simple ones are pulled
down by hand but the progress
Sivc cheater runs the string down
TO a foot pedal THIS permits him
to back away from the scale with
his hands in the air and still cheat
with his foot
Another method is improper USE
of a sci screw attached 10 the
scales by the manufacturer Th"

can be operated honestly. bur The

thar in the history of his depart

The customer should be alert
for such devices and should aIway
be certain that the scale needle
rests AT zero before his purchase

Martin L. Davey
Recovering

Martin L. Davey, twice COVER
nor of Ohio, is slowly recover
ing in Cleveland Clinic hospital
after what doctors consider an
almost miraculous escape from
death following an attack of CO.
ronary thrombosis on Feb. s at
his home in Kent. Mr.. Davey
must remain in the hospital at
least one more week when he
will be taken to his home to re-
main in bed for two additional
months.
Thrombosis is clot that OBJ
structs the normal flow of the
blood stream. 1t may form any
where in the arterial system
and is accompanied by an alarm
ing decrease in the white cor
puscles.
The four strenuous years Mr..
Davey served as governor were
followed by a vigorous applica-
tion to the problems of the
Davey Tree Expert Company, of
which he is president and gen.
eral manager. He climaxed the
long years of extreme activity
in public and private affairs
with the political campaign to
which he devoted every minute
of his time during most of 1910.
Doubtless he used up his physi-
cal reserves, aggravating heart
that finally rebelled.
Thousands of letters and cards
expressing good wishes have
come to Mr.. Davey since his ill
ness was first announced. These
were written from both business
acquaintance and associates and
the many friends who came to
know and love him during his
long political career. Mr..
Davey's room at Cleveland Clinic
hospital is filled constantly with
flowers. His convalescence has
reached point where Mr.. Davey
can now read and enjoy the
greetings of his friends.
