THE BEE: OMAHA, TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 16 1913. 3 MILLERS MUST STAND LOSS MOREHEAD NAMES BOARD Flour Sacks Short in Weight Muit ( Governor Appoint! Members Be Made Good. t School Law Body. of COMMISSIONER MAKES RULING WILL REVISE THE OLD CODE Bejrnlattona of tt Welshta nd Menanrea Lutt Mot Strlnnent and Drying; Oat Proceao Not Al lowed For. (From a Btaif Correspondent) LINCOLN, Sept. 15. (SpeclaD-One of the problems which faces the commis sioner of weights and measures under the iittw law Is that of weight of flour as sent out by millers. In many In stances a sack of flour which when sacked weighs the required forty-eight pounds, In course of time will dry out and fall short of the weight required by law when sold to the consumer. When sacked at the mill the flour Is placed In a sack which In most Instances Is marked as containing forty-eight pounds and does so contain that amount when It leaves the mill. In due course of time It reaches the consumer and falls short according to the length of ltlmo It has taken to go the route between the mill and the consumer. Who then Is re sponsible for the shortage and who will havo to make good. According to the law and the ruling of the commissioner the manufacturer who brands his goods will have to stand good for the amount shown by the brands even after It has gone out of his possession Into the hands of a second, third and possibly a fourth party. The new weights and measures law requires that a barrel of flour must contain 196 pounds, half barrel, ninety-eight pounds, a quarter barrel sack forty-eight pounds, eighth barrell sack twenty-four pounds, and a ilxteenth barrel sack twelve pounds. The net amount of flour In weight must be printed on the main label of the sack or barrel and it must be exclusive of the weight of the container. The barrel or sack must have printed thereon the name of the manufacturer and the place of manufacture. If flour Is made of more than one kind of wheat It must be stated on the label. The mixing of spring and winter wheat comes under thlg head. The law permits the use of nitrogen peroxide In the belachlng of flour and If flour Is bleached It need not be branded as bleached If for sale or use In the state.

CERTIFIED HARD COAL SUNDERLAND The purchase of Hard Coal for the winter- is a serious matter and involves a large expenditure which is, in most cases, a difficult one to provide for. It seems necessary, however, to use Coal and wo want you to feel that it would be good judgment to buy Sunderland's Certified Hard Coal Our Goal is inspected before shipment to Omaha and again upon arrival at our yards. It must be of highest grade or rejected. If it's good enough for us to unload, it is suitable for most ex acting coal buyers. You cannot afford to take any ohances on coal quality, and you don't have to if you buy from Sunderland. Winter heat de pends on the quality of the coal you burn and costs too much to lose any of it because of slaty, stony, dirty coal.
