With no further ar rivals, the stock -will be exhausted In about three months. - . , The number oft bales of cotton im ported through the Oporto customs during the first seven months of the current year totals It, I36,w weighing 4,284,33s kilos, or ,464,380 pounds, representing an average of 2.743 bales a month. Of tho 11,336 bales. 93 per cent were of American origin, as only 1.22 S earns from Brazil, and 1(0 were Egyptian. The actual consumption of Oporto and district is in excess of 4,000 bales a month. ' - Channels of Imports. :, Tho Importation is done by way of one of the following trade channels: (1) In direct vessels from the United States to Oporto, chiefly la Portu guese sailing ships from New Orleans, Savannah, or Norfolk; (I) In steam ers from New YoVk to Llsoon, thence by trans-shipment, in to coasting vessel to Oporto; it) In steamer from New York to Lisbon, thence direct by rail to the different mills ? in northern Portugal ' . . Only in the first case is the cotton Imported and duties paid at Oporto customhouse. la the second and third cases it may or may not happen so; and very often the cotton is cleared at the Lisbon customhouse, a fact whioh explains the difference existing between import returns and actual consumption. . v.-v t. That tho requirement of 4,000 bales a month, or about T2.000 a year for Oporto, is not exaggerated is proved by published official statistics. The weight of 72,600 bales at 490 pounds a bale is 14,000,004 pounds, equaling EFIRD R-B: ' i iy,t'L.iti i ; i r . n i ... i i . i i . ; i us? v i. i t o:i record, tut it r..t 1 a taken Into consideration that the mV.'.a are or at full time now, exe cuting army orders as well as f..Ur.g other orders.

In The Boston Transcript of recent date I read the following: "Butcher This pound of butter you sent me weighs three ounces short." "Grocer Well. I mislaid the pound weight, so I balanced it with the pound of chops you sent me yester day.:' - V ' v Which brings me to the discussion of an Item which recently appeared in this column, dealing with the act of a producer who offered 13 pounds of butter at B0 cents a pound, and when It was put on the scales, refused to take SO cents a pound for the eight pounds the 13 prints actually weighed. Since then I have been approached by not fewer than Ave persons who attempted to explain that they did not offer the butter at so much per pound but at so much psr cake; that their prints will take only so much and that Xhey are sold as prints and not by the pound.. - - '' Very well. ."

"On and after January 1, 1919, no licensee shall manufacture or sell units of butter In print form that weigh less than one pound: provided that this rule shall not prevent a re taller from cutting a unit -weighing one pound or more and selling a por tion thereof to a customer. "This amended rule promulgated September 13. 1913. "HERBERT HOOVER. "United States Food Administrator." . There may be those who will point out that the producer of whom I wrote, and the other four who thought I was writing of them, are not covered by this order owing to the fact that they are not licensed by the food commissioner, and that by this means they escape and can evade the purpose of the order. This may be true. But the mer chant who sella the butter to the con sumer Is licensed, and must live up to the letter and the spirit of the order. Likewise, should any consumer buy direct from the producer, without the butter going through the hands of a licensed dealer, and find that 12 WANTED YOUR FAMILY WASHING PHONE 444 -or -445 CHARLOTTE LAUNDRY Oldest r - Largest 4 PICTORIAL REVIEW PATTERNS wrwswiBWsssipWtsjiiai.siilF It. , If II 1 ft ' If . ) UNDERMUSLINS Most Exquisite of Gifli from One si to Another : These of ours ; are so daintily made and the lace and embroidery trimmings breathe an air of charm and elegance.
