N Inspector John Klelnhans was in
the city looking after the business
of the atate board of health, division
of weights and measures. He has
made a number of visits to this city
within two years and says that as
a rule the merchants have met him
In a spirit of fairness and have
showed a desire to Bbide by the law.
Inspector Klelnhans says that the
ways of the cheat, both manufacturer
and retailer, are devious and hard to.

ness has no trouble to locate viola

weights and measure law.
The department Is working In all
parts of the state, and is making a
vigorous campaign for honest weights
and pure food. Secretary Crumbine
and his inspectors are not working on
the theory that wrong weighing and
wrong measuring is a willful, malic
ious practice, but Is more the result
of ignorance. Where it Is a willful
oractice. competition Is generally
given as the reason and the honest
merchant suffers at the hands of the
dishonest merchant and the dishonest
miller has a distinct advantage over
the miller who Is square.
Take flour as an illustration. It is

sold mainly in 24-pound, 4S-pound
and 98-pound sacks. The dealer buys
it In barrel lots. It Isn't much of a
trick to keep a quarter-pound of flour
out of a 24-pound sack of a pound
out of a 48-pound sack and no trick
to keep four pounds out of a barrel
supposed to contain 196 pounds, if
a flour mill has a capacity of 300
barrels daily and a barrel Is short
weighed four pounds, the miller gains
1200 pounds, or bIi barrels a day
by short weights. That short weight
gives the Idshonest miller a profit of
'from $20 to $35 dally over the miller
who gives full weight.

During last June, State Inspector
John Kleinhans Inspected 143 wagon
scales In the ten largest cities of the
state and found 49, or 35 per cent of
them "off" from ten pounds to 176
pounds to the ton. The owncrB of
these scales did not know that their
scales were weighing wrong. In
some Instances the scales under
weighed but those instances were
very rare. Low corners caused 80
per cent of the condemned scales iO
weigh inaccurately, while 20 per
cen( of the bad ones were worn out.
The only way to find out whether
scales are accurateor not is to try
them wftli tested weights.

or a clerk using a scale weight in

Last summer an inspector stopped
a number of hucksters wno were
crossing the bridge from Kansas City,
Mo., to Kansas City, Kas. Seventeen
of them were found to be using short
peck measures, which must be filled
five times to get an honest bushel.
Naturully they were filling it hut four
times. The poor people are the ones
who buy fruits and vegetables in

poverty, are entitled to honest meas
