ELECTRICAL, IIPIUlINO AND
TAKE CARE OF THE EYES
Sight being (ulto as valuable us
life Itself, tho admonition would seem
.to ho unnecesHary that tlio eyes
should bo scrupulously cared for.
Yet, as a matter of fact, tlio waiting
rooiim of city and country oculists
alike, aro crowded, day after day und
week after week, by pcoplo who havo
boon criminally negligent of their
vIhIoii. Reading too lino print, un
loaded and often on gloHsy paper, is
responsible for much of tho mischief.
Poor Illumination Ih another do
Htructlvo agency. Over-ludulgenco lu
tobacco or alcohol and reading too
booh after roeovury from an ucuto
Illness, play also a part In the throw
ing awuy of Bight. One of tlio leant
oxcusublo of agencies Ih tho uno of
proprietary nostrums, both made and
sold by men who know llttlo or noth
ing about the eye, and, In addition,
havo never examined tho oyes of the
Individual patient. These nostrums
uro generally advertised ns "great
discoveries," but conslat of substan
ces well known to educated oculists,
and which ure uneful or harmful ac

employs them doos or does not un

McCM'RE HAIX, PNI VEKSITY OF
CONTROL OF MISTLETOE
In the forest regions of the North
woHt mistletoe In bo abundant that
tho damage which It does assumes at
times a hitIouh aspect. Recent In
vestigations of the t'nlted States De
partment of Agriculture havo shown,
for example, that tho deterioration
of the western larch In tlio more
open and exposed stands Is duo to
mistletoe. Although not so valuable
as yellow pine and Douglas II r, the
lurch when free from mistletoe pro
duces largo saw timber. Trees at
tacked In early llfo hy tho larch mls
tlotoo, however, seldom produce a
good grade of merchantable timber,
and all Infected trees show poor
health and reduced diameter or
height.
In a professional paper of tlio
United StatOH Department of Agri
culture, Bulletin No. 317, It Ih rec
ommended that In making timber
sales, all lurches affected with iiiIh
tletoo bo cut, whother tho trees are
merchantable or not. Tho effect of
thinning Is to promote tho develop
ment of tho parasito in tlio crown. It
Ih desirable, therefore, to cut all In
fected trees, so far us this Is prac
tlcablo In lumbering operations.

CONCERNING WEIGHTS
AND MEASURES
Mr. Kditor: A llttlo spaeo in tho
Mist to explain tho working of the
law as to weights and measures
Tim law heliiK a new one, I thought
the people might wunt to know some
of the workings' of it. Tho law only
took effect tho 22iul of last May, ho
it Iiiih only been in force for a little
over seven months. This district in
cludes nine counties right alone the
Columbia river, called the northern
illntrlct. During tho past seven
months I have visiteil all the places
of business at leiiHt once, and part of
them twice, and have found tho fol
lowing tested out up to tho llrst of
tho year:
279 scales, of which I found 227
out of halunco, 216 condemned for
repairs and had to condemn perma
nently 198 and prohibit tlio further
use of them. Then I have covered
tho faces of lfi computing charts for
not computing on every ounco us
they should. As to weights, I tested
1 H 57 and condemned and destroyed
2", 7 of them that worn light or had
weights not belonging to them, us
they did not give tho proper weights.
Then I tested yard measures to the
number of Sir,, und found 12 that had
to he adjusted most of them were
short. Then as to liquid measure, I
have tested out 222 accurate und
found 4:i that had to bo condemned
an being short from being bent or
denied. Then iih to wood, I have a
great many complaints. I have found
10 different cases of wood that was
of short measurement. Then an to
coal, there is not so much trouble uh
the dealers aro moro careful, for If
they short weight you, It Is a clear
case of dishonesty.
Then iih to hay and mill feed, I
have a good deal of trouble, for buy
Is generally shipped in und is baled
in lOaslern Oregon and Washington,
and when lulled It Is weighed at the
time, of baling. Sumo weigh with
steelyards and tho weight Is marked
on u slip of wood and slipped under
one of the haling wires, then It Is
either left in the field or stored in
some open shed and thorn It is left
jmZF
i-Y Ft- . T : . r"V,
OKIUION, El'l! ENE, OREGON
to dry and shrink all tho way from
10 to 4 0 pounds to the hale. Now I
have always taken the stand that the
purchaser was entitled to the actual
weight of a commodity at tlio time of
purchase. Then It is tlio same way
witli mill feed when it Is rolled; it in
steamed und dampened, and in that
state It is weighed out and the
weight marked on tlio sack, then
stored awuy the samo ns hay, and left
to dry out and shrink all tho way
from live to 20 pounds to tlio sack,
and In a purchase by the ton enough
sacks are counted out, and thero is
quite a shortage. Now tho law con
templates tho giving of actual weight
at tho time of purchase.
I have a great many sacks of Hour
not coming up to weight; say 4 7 or
4 8 pounds. Now that seems small,
but to tho miller it is a lot.
1 found a great many of tho gaso
line and coal oil pumps short. The
pump will pump accurately if kept
in proper shape, but many of thorn
are handled very roughly, causing
tlio valve rod to slip nnd get loose,
which will caut'.o the How to bo short.
As stated above, tho law Is u new
one and the peoplo nro unacquainted
with it. We havo been very lenient
with them ns to its violation. Since
the llrst of tho year, Fred G. lluclitol,
deputy stnto sealer, who has charge
of district sealers, Issued u letter to
nil district sealers, giving them very
strict Instructions as to tlio enforce
ment of the law. Ho sayB that from
now on ho expects a very close in
spection of all weights and measures,
and that ho Is going to hold each one
to a strict enforcement of tlio law.
Very truly yours,
