Twhen Governor 'Dix ilgned the Brooks lUL requiring that all packace foodstuffs be plainly marked on the outside of the package' with the net wetghtK meaeure, tr numerical count of lt contents, New Tork fell into line as the eighth state to pass this law, which should do so much to give , the house-holder full value for bis money and In that way materially af fect the cost of living to his benefit. Only one other eastern state has such a law, Connecticut, and In the south iFlorlda has passed It; the other five states With similar provisions In their statutes are west of the Mississippi Hver. North and Sooth Dakota, Ne braska, Wyoming and Nevada. ' In most cases it Is a section of the State pure food ! and drugs act which contains, this provision, and usually the terns of the law are simpler than those ef the New Tork law. North Dakota Is the pioneer state in such legislation. -Vfcen, in 1907. it was passing the modi tied federal pure food law, which Is now Women who bear, children and ro tenia healthy are those who prepare their systems In advance ot basy'i coming. , Unless the mother aids bature la its pre-natal work the crista finds her system unequal to the de bands toads upon It, and she is often lea wits weakened health or chronic ailment. No remedy Is so truly a bslp to. nature as, Mother's Friend, and no expectant mother should fall to use It It relieves the pain and C'.scomfort caused hy the strain on tfecDigaments, makes pliant and elas tic "those fibres and muscles which nature Is expanding, prevents numb besi of limbs, and soothes the Inflam mation of breast glands.

One city, Seattle, has a municipal ordinance re quiring this In strict terms, and the or dinance went Into effect at once upon its being signed by the mayor, stringency In action, which no state has followed. New York's Is the. only barrel law, estab lishing the sises of the larger 'con tainers ot foodstuffs, but Seattle has gone after the large ' package, barrels, and boxes, with fully as much vigor as In the case of the boxes and cans and bottles which hold the smaller packages. More Graee to Mssalsttirrm. New York's new law gives a longer period during which , the manufacturer may put up his packages without regard to Its provisions than waa done by any other state. When last year Connecticut gave eighteen months after the passage of the actwhlch Was approved in July, this was considered unreasonable delay. In most cases a few months have sufficed to avoid in justice to manufacturers, who may pack their goods far ahead of their actually reaching retail shelves; New York gives them, eight months after the law takes effect, even, and as that will be about fourteen months after spproval by the governor, the total ts twenty-two months' grace. . . . . , Florida got Into a tangle over this. The law was rushed through Its legislature on June S, 1911, and the details of its enforce ment left to the state commissioner of agriculture. He named August S as the date when all goods coming 'under the law must be marked according to It. giv ing only the option of the use of stickers for this purpose until January 1, 1912. The outcry which arose caused him to extend the Initial enforcement of the law to January 1, 1912, and he has since substi tuted August 1, 1912, for that date. . Dr. Reichman, the state superintendent, has. long been active In favor of a net weight law, and has Joined In the effort to get a federal law on the subject' which la the really desirable thing. . He .and John L." Walsh, New York City commis sioner ot weights and measures, appeared before the house committee on Interstate and foreign commerce In Support of the Mann bill, which would substitute for the merely permissive feature of the present section In the federal pure food law covering this subject a section establish ing as misbranding any package not plainly marked with the net weight meas ure or numerical count of Ha contents. ' This waa reported , favorably .by . the committee, but failed to pass the house before March 4 of lat Year.- In the pres ent congress Its place has been taken by -the Stevens bill In the house and the Burton bill In the senate, which cover just the same ground. These were, en dorsed by the seventh annual conference of weight and measure officials of the t'nlted States, held at Washington In February, and the resolution endorsing them was reported by a committee, of which Dr. Reichman was chairman. , H raring on National mil. Later In the month the senate commit tee en manufactures held hearings on tbe '.' .' - vv -ttt-t Burton bill, and 'there ; appeared .repre sentatives of he national association of wholesale grocers and of retail grocers. Dr. Wiley sIbo appeared to g!Ve his vig orous support to this; substitute' fur the original section, which r Ho condemned. The grocers' associations' representatives presented an amendment , which covers the ground of the principal, anxiety felt by their members over such a law,' pro viding for reasonable ; tolerances ' and variations In weight or measure. Most of the state laws have - this -and New'York's new law does. 'The point Is many foodstuffs, usually packed with out Intentional 'excess of water, shrink before , reaching the- consumer. ' Dried fruits and cereals do;, anything packed In a container not airtight Is- subject to evaporation. There is also the matter of leakage, and the fact that a container of standard size may not always take the same weight of contents-as In the case of sardlnes-but lawmakers ana state officials customarily regard these conditions as quite within the control of the packer, while evaporation and the possibilities of variation In the weight ot goods packed In one ' factory , for ship ment to many states with differing cli mates clearly are not. The Burton bill has not' yet been re ported out of the committee, and there has been no active work On the Stevens bill by the house committee. This pressure for net weight legislation comes from the campaigns which have been waged by mothers' associations and Dr. Wiley and the advertising men of foodstuff manufacturers against the cat In the-cracker grocery and the unsanitary bulk methods of handling household neces sities. The consumer has been educated to demand sanitary packages which have not been opened bet ween the factory and the kitchen. The gradual lessening in quantities packed In such packages ha escaped most buyers, however, though often there Is wonder - that the money spent for food doesn't go as far as it used to go. - Soon after the national pure food act waa passed, there was a gathering of foodstuffs manufacturers who we're-affected, by It at Atlantic City. One of the largest of them is reported to have replied to some doleful commepts on the new law In this wise. -' "You fellows don't seem to .realise that there Is a very easy way to get even. If you re duce your packages a little now and then or: put Just a little less of weight Into the same bulk In their contents, the public will never realise the difference. Tn what household Is there a last year's tomato can for a - comparison of ; size with one bought this year?" Shrinks tn Slse of Packages. Clearly, he has been taken at his word though possibly the' Idea didn't origi nate with him and the shrinkage In the contents of .foodstuffs packages . in five years Is remarkable. Usually the pack ages have grown smaller, and In some case of boxes of cereals or cans ot baked beana, but in the case of articles packed in glass, the amount of glass has ben Increased, while the amount of contents decreased. Cereals have shrunk 40 and 30 per. cent, pancake flour, & or 30; crack era and ginger snaps and the like, SO; boxed date and raisins. 30 and one might go on with the list of articles packed In pasteboard for some lines more. - v In the commodities packed tn glass- Pickles, catsup and chili sauce' and other Tellshes,' syrups, ' honey, extracts,", dried and cured meats. Jams, Jellies, jar cheese, and so on the average lessening in quan tity 'packed approaches 60 per" cent, and here the package has changed .little or. none in size. . , ' v When It pomes to canned goods, bake.i beans furnish a fine illustration, and a series of cans, one for each year of. the last five," run a descending scale that could hardly be excelled as an object lesson; One a three-pound can of baked beans .held three pounds of beans; then the can was, weighed In,' and then it be gan growing smaller. Today the gross weight of the three-pound can , is i two pounds seven dunces; of thev two-pqund can, twenty-four and a half ounces; and of the one-pound can,' twelve ounces.' " In the larger ' packages 3 of foodstuff i ahd grains there la the same sort of shortage. Barrels of flour which no on ever weighs bags of oats and corn and oilier grains, bales of hay, all are short weight, and boxes of fruit are -shipped short count. These facts relate, to Amer ican goods,, it ought to be noted, an '. English jams, jellies, pickles and relishes and other foreign goods remain, at .the same amounts which have always been packed. ' Some American package goods, a few, have never, varied In weight also. Baking powder, for instance, Is labelled on the can. "One pound net," and , the pound Is in the can. Some Honest Weight Packers,. There are certain brands, too, even among the kinds of articles In which the most flagrant. advantage Jj as, been taken of the public, of which the same quan tity Is packed in the same size packages as always; for a few manufacturers an i packers were unable to. compromise', with their consciences. . Some of these,-belong to the American Specialty Manufacturers' association, which has been aiding in th passage of these laws In the ' different states, but standing for - uniformity - in provisions. . The . association Is anxious for a federal law on the subject.. Prob ably not all of. Us members were In favor of such legislation formerly, but thos? who are not for '.It because of the In herent rlgnt in it see that it la bound to come. ' ; . . Of course, such legislation will not force the packer to put larger quantities in his packages, but It will acquaint the con sumer, with Just what he .Is getting., and competition and the survival of the fittest and the largest of good quality will do the rest.

The ctlonel -was a strong opponent of Bla'ne In 1SS and went to the Chicago convention, determined, as was Henry Cabot bodge, who was there also, .to do everything to defeat htm. But both came back and supported Blaine. A republican rally was held to open the campaign In Faneull hall at noonday, after the cus tom of the party.- ' Roosevelt was down for a speech and he dined at the Union club with a. republican who had been a strong opponent of Blatne. Just before it was t'me for Roosevelt to go to the hall his friend said to him that he did not see how. he could possibly speak for Blaine. Roosevelt turned, slapped his friend on the shoulder and replied: "God knows I hope that he will be defeated." Then he went down and delivered - a red hot speech supporting Blaine.
