The net. express tariff bulletin recently adopted by the railroad commission of Indiana for intrastate traffic has gone into effect and express charges are now much reduced, on all express sent to points within the state. The interstate tariff order will be effective August 15th. That the prices are much lower under the now tariff law than the old, will be shown by the little comparison in the following: Under the old ruling the charge per hundred pounds from here to Ft. Wayne was fifty cents. Under the new, forty cents. From thia city to Indianapolis it was ninety cents, and now seventy-five cents. Where it. 1 ■ Osts forty-five cents to send ten rounds, it now costs twenty-five cents. Under the old schedule, it cost fifty cents to send fifty-five pounls or less from here to Fort Wayne, and this now can be sent for twenty-five cents. Those who are heavy senders of ex- | press will rejoice at the great reduc- > tion of the tariff, and win be still more happy when the new one respecting the interstate traffic will go nto order. FREE! The gas company will give away a gas range during the demonstration Wednesday, Thursday’ and Friday, i.ternoons and evenings. 145t5 — o GRADUATES TODAY.

I BERRIES BY BOX Is Not the Proper Way to Buy Says Barnard—Get Them by the Quart. MILK BY SPLASH Is Another False Measurement—Weights and Measures Law is Good. Don’t buy berries by the ”box,”lard by the “bucket," butter by the “lump," coal oil by the “can” nor milk by the ‘‘splash.’’ Insist on getting berries by the quart, lard and butter by the pound, coal oil by the gallon and milk by actual measure. And so on down the list of dry and liquid commodities. That's the advice of 11. E. Barnard, state food and drug commissioner. Dozens of appeals daily are pour ing into Mr. Barnard’s office for enactment by the next legislature of a law providing that all commodities must be sold by actual weight and measure. “Such a law,’ said Mr. Barnard, “would make it impossible for the unscrupulous dealers to sell commodities by the ’handful, ‘bucket’ or ‘box.’ For instance, one dealer advertises three boxes of berries for a quarter. Another dealer advertises two boxes for the same price. The two lioxes may contain more berries than the three boxes. This chance would be eliminated, if the dealers were compelled to advertise and sell three quarts or two quarts instead of three boxes or two boxes. A box may mean anything from a penny match box to a dry goods box, but a quart is a quart. “A customer asked a dealer how he was selling his milk, to which the dealer replied: “ I am selling it by the yard.’ “‘Give me a yard of it.’ said the customer. “The dealer plunged his finger in a can of milk and drew a milky line one yard Tong upon the counter. “ ’There you are,’ said he. “‘All right,’ said the customer, ‘wrap it up and I’ll take it along.’ “But of course that's an extreme case.’’ 0 MONROE NEWS.

I BROTHER OF DECATUR MAN. Charles Addington, local manager of the Standard OU company at Winchester, who was instantly killed 1 Sunday when he took hold of a live electric wire during the storm, was a brother of Frank Addington, formerly of this city, a former traveling salesman for the Ward Fence company, and who is now at Peoria, 111. The unfortunate man was well known here and the news of his sad death was received with sorrow by his many friends here, and by Harry Ward, of . the Ward Fence company, who is now here, having arrived from Indianapolis. Addington was at the headquarters of the oil company at the time the storm came up. When he saw the two wires crossed by the storm he 1 rushed out and tried to disentangle ’ them. His .".ve-year-old sou attempted . to rescue Irra, and was severely shocked but not seriously injured. The electrical current had turned cue 0i Adding;on’s Lends almost to a crisp ; and otter ’/arts of l}is body were tad 1 ly scorched. Death was instant aeous. 1 e deceased is survived by a . wife and Jx .Jr.ldj’en. MRS. PO’TLF.’S NEW BOOK. Mrs. Gene Stratton Porter, who this week cmclvrled c protracted visit at the home of her sister, Mrs. F. P. ■ Wilson, put the finishing touches on a new volume which will soon appear . from the press 01 the publishers of ■ her successful novels. Mrs. Porter for several years has been at work on what she terms her "Mother 800 - ; a beautifully illustrated, descriptive volume, the handsome colored plates 1 being from hand painted originals by 1 Mrs. Porter herself. There are forty ’ or more of these plates showing in ' most attractive tints the working of ■ all the myriads of moths fully ue--1 scribed in the text, and the book will 1 in a sense be an edition de luxe • which the talented authoress hopes 1 will be in demand from nature lovers. ■ The new book will demonstrate that ’ Mrs. Porter is no less gifted with ‘ the brush and palette than with the peu.—Wabash Times-Star.
