Staggering Statistics as to the Annaal Loss of the Poor
by Reason of Fraudulent Weights and Measures
It Amounts to $20,0d0,000 a Year In New York State Alone
—One Consignment of 600,000 Berry Boxes
Found Short Measure. *
, /*
4 . M—M**a*MM» I • -■*'
Albany, N. Y. —Poor people In this
State, who have to bur their food
supplies in small quantities, were
robbed'of about 120,000,000 last
year by reason of short weights and
small measure, according to an esti
mate made by Frits Reichmann. State
Superintendent of Weights and
Meaaarea. Of that loss sbout $ 10,-
000.000 came from the people in New
York City, In spite of the municipal
bureau of weights add measures, of
whose hesd Superintendent Reich
mann has not a very complimentary
opinion.
"The people who lose most through
faulty weights and measures," he de
clsred, "are the very poor, who have
to buy in small quantities. This State
is so far behind its neighbors thc.t it
naturally betoraes the dumping
ground of short weight and short
measure goods. Russia, which we
consider a barbarous country. Is so
much better governed than New York
State in respect to its weights and
treasures, as to make as blush."
Primarily the reason for tfcis great
defrauding of customers by dealers iS
not dishonesty, in Superintendent
Relchmann's opinion, but the Imper
fect laws, whloh leave each munici
pality to work out its own desUny,
with merely a general supervision on
the part of a sadly handicapped State
department. Thus dealers in one city
supplying retailers in some other city
with different .regulations as to
♦eights and measures, or perhaps
negligent inspection or no inspection,
may 'unintentionally perpetrate a
fraud, which the retail dealers would
pass along or intensify.
"To be sure." Mr. Relchmann con
tinued, "there Is much dishonesty,
deliberate and lntention.il, in every
larne city and many small ones, and
it is to guard against this that the
sealers of weights and measures have
tp watch constantly.
Berry Boxes Short Measure.
*'l stopped a consignment of 000,-
000 berry boxes to New York City the
other day from one of our up-State
ciUes," the Superintendent added.
'They were short measure. The con
signor said they were to bo used for
the 'wagon trade.' "
The s'aggerlng statistics which he
produced as to the total annual loss
from fraudulent weights and meas
ures were compiled by taking twenty
foodstuCs. the average proportion of
loss found by the department's tests
and the average consumption yearly
of the twenty articles chosen.
"They were twent> average com
modities —flour, bread, eggs,
butter, coffee, tea, suvar, beans and
the like," said he. "Those figures,
too, are conservative. If anything*
the amount would be rather '
than smaller."
To take one example. He esti- 
mated that on dried beans the con
sumer paid, for seme 150,000 worth
of beans niore than he received In
the course of a year. What purport- '
ed to be a quart of dried beans was 1
purchased by one of the Inspectors in
a grocery store for twelve cents. The ]
beans and the bag containing them
were weighed and found to weigh i
23 3-32 ounces. The bag weighed
9-32 of an ounce, leaving for the
beans 12 13-10 ounces. A correct 
quart of beans Is supposed to weigh 
easetty thirty ounces. Thqg en that j

purchase the customer received nine
and one-eighth cents' worth, Instead
of the twelte cents' worth for which
he paid. Superintendent Relchmana
continues as follows:,
"All kinds of tricks are used by
dishonest merchants. Those mer
chants who are not dishonest inten
tionally may have faulty scales or Im
perfect measures of which they know
nothing because tbey are not tested.
The longer a set of scales is used the
worse it becomes—for the customer
—unless It is tested and repaired. But
the average merchant never will ask
for a test ff he has to pay fees for
that test, unless his customers com
plain of him. Now, in some towns
there is the fee system; in others the
municipal scaler of weights and meas
ures has a salary and collects fees
which go Into the city- treasury; in
others, again, there is a straight sal
ary basis, and no charge Is made for
tests. In some cities there is a rigid
inspection; in others absolutely none.
Had Conditions in Syracuse.
"We went to Syracuse a time ago
and found horrible conditions pre
vailing. There was a municipal de
partment of weights and measures,
with a salaried head, who said he
never had done anything much, be
cause bis predecessors never had done
anything but draw their salaries.
Things were stirred up; this superin
tendent was made to see the error of
hla ways, a couple of deputies were
added to his staff. Now that same
man Is one of the most active and
best men in the State. He tells ma
that his working day Is limited to
eight hours, but that he wants to
work overtime In getting after viola
tors of the law and does it. I went
to Tonkers some time ago, and there
was hardly a straight weight or pro
per measure in the town. Now they
have a good inspection there, and the
merchants are running pretty much
on the level.
"But it's so easy to beat the game.
How many customers know the differ
ence between dry and liquid meas
ure? Yet If a grocer sells a quart of
lima beans, Bay, in a liquid quart
measure, he's stealing about fifteen
per cent. It's very easy for him to
undersell competitors a cent or two a
'quart' on that basis, and thus ho
drives them out of business or Into
his own habits. A butcher, say.
keeps several sheets of paper on hie
scales. The paper weighs, perhaps, 1
an ounce or an ounce and a half. It
doesn't make much difference on h ;
ten-pound roast, but on a half pound
or pound of meat for the poor woman
It tells heavily. And spring scales— j
there are as many ways to manipu-'
late them as there are makes of
scales."
"All our neighboring States have j
good laws. Canada, on our northern i
border, has probably the most rigid j
law In the world. If an inspector i
stops a wagonload of bread and In ;
the load finds one loaf short weight j
be confiscates the whole load, gives It.;
to some charitable Institution ami
prosecutes the baker. Massachusetts ;
has probably tb§ best weights and
measures system in the United States:
Rhode Island has an excellent sys
tem; Connecticut now has a bill un
der consideration 1 which seems likely
to pass; New Jersey has a good sys
tem; Pennsylvania apd Ohio, too."

THE MOTHER'S PROBLEM
Of Balllif Strong, Healthy Girls.
A aerioua problem which prcaents it
self to every mother with girls to raise.
In these daya. The exigencies of school
I life, the harry and routine of every-day
[ duties, the artificial environment of
modern civilisation, Inako it more
riittlcult .to raise strong, healthy girls
i than ever in the history of the world.
' Boys raise thAm» olv ®«* Give them
room, give them liberty, and they will
grow up healthy at least, without much
Worrying. But the girls present a aer
ioua problem.
How many mothers there are who are
worrying about their daughters. Ner
vous, puny girls, with poor, capricious
appetites, bloodless, listless, a constant
anxiety to the mother. How shall she
solve her problem? To whom shall she ,
turn for helpt Each case is more or
less a study by itself, and cannot be
solved by any general rule.
This is the way one mother solved tho
problem. Mrs. Bchopfer, GO2O Prescott
Ave., St. Louis, Mo., in a letter to Dr.
Hartman, says: "My daughter Alice,
four years of age, was a puny, sickly,
ailing child since she was born. I was
always doctoring her. When we com
menced to use Peruna sho grew strong
aad well." t
Another mother, Mrs. Martha
R. F. D. 5, Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin,
says: "Our little eight-year-old girl |
had a bad cough, and was in a genoral
run-down condition." She had several
doctors, who could give thechild no re
lief, and the mother no encouragement.
Finally, she got a bottle of Pernna
and commenced giving it to the child,
and It proved to be Just what she
needed. When she commenced taking
Peruna tho child had to be carried.
Now the mother says she Is playing
around all tho time.
Her closlhg words were: "You have
dono a groat deal for her. She is tho
only girl wo have, and It meant lots to
I us to havo her curod."
These are samples of many letters
Which Dr. Hartman is receiving,.com
ing strnlght from tho hearts of loving
mothers. While the different schools
of mod let no are bickering and differing
as to theories and remedies, Peruna
I goes right steadily on giving permanent
rtllef. After all, it is cures that tho
people want. Theories are ot little
account.
