Honesty Is Major Trait, Says Lawton,
Who Checks Southern Oregon's Scales
(By Mnry (Jit'lncr)
"The majority of people nro
. honest; There aren't so many
crooks in the world uh Home folkH
would have us believe." Thin com
ing from D. T. I-uwton, 77 your

grocerymen, butchers, b u k e r h,
automobile dealers, packing houne
ownertf; In fact upon anybody and
everybody whose busineHs buccchr
revolves to uny degree around
scales and units of measure.
' "When a man deliberately sets
$ut to cheat the public, he only
Hucceeds in cheating himself," said
the official at bin office yesterday,
his long sensitive fingers testing u
set of small scales on his desk be
fore him.- "Komeiimes a man's
whole character is weighed Into 10
dents worth of powdered alum,"
he., added and n slow smile spread
oVor his features, lie continued
tip, busily, with his work.

smaiU-Kt only u 32nd of an ounce.
pNearby was another type of scales,
the metal weights of which runged
from 10 pounds to u sixteenth of
an ounce. ,
Then there were the avordupols
scales .and tho Troy scales
special druggists scales and the
jewelers scales, the measurements
of which range down to a mlnuto
fraction of a grain. Kept In little
mahogany "Jewel" boxen, these
delicate weights must be bundled
with pincers.
Jn cusu ho finds the 'scales In
any place of business faulty, the
official tags them and orders them
repaired. .Most people thank him,
and are obviously desirous of cor
recting the fault. If, however, the
business man or woman falls to
have them adjusted, and continues
with inaccurate measures, the arm
of the law steps in .Mr. Juvtou
swears out a warrant for arrest,
and the offender can tell his story
to the judge. The penalty for this
offense is from five dollars to
S50O, with a prison term up to six
months, according to Mr. Jjiwton.
Hut ns in the days of the little
red school house, there being a
penalty for misbehavior, ho also is
there a reward for tho honest boys

who has taught tho business many
a worthy lesson during bis long
carrier, affixes a golden star on
thu scales that are giving honest
measure.

The Drug and Dope Addiction
Situation in Southern Oregon
"Now I keep
my underthings
like new tivice as long
thanks to Lux"
'T JUST love pretty undcrtliings, nnd
JL I do have more dainty things than
most of my friends, even girls who
spend much more!
''My secret is simple. I pot the sug-
gestion from a friend who held a
, position in an exclusive New York
shop. She told me they always washed
models' underthings and hosiery in
Lux, because they found Lux kept
them looking like new more than twice
' ms long.
' ''Since then I've always been careful
to use Lux for underthings, negligees,
X, stockings, dresses.
''They stay new much longer! Some
' of my nicest lingerie is 3 years old
and still looks new. That gives me
. money to buy extra things which I
could never afford if it wcren'tfor Lux."
Give your pretty underthings this
marvelous Lux care that keeps them
like new so much longer! Then, in
stead of spending all your clothes
' money replacing worn out things,
. you, too, can afford many more pretty

An addict Is n victim or a di.4

malady. He finds himself

Usually when a person

is called on next. Med
icine and the M. D. go
together. There is no
time to send away for
the drugs that the homo
druggist carries o n

wanted right now. That
is why there are few
