Butter Fraud

Butter Fraud.—William L. Waldron, State superintendent of weights and measures, declares that the housewives of New Jersey are defrauded annually of upward of one million dollars in butter alone; that the short weights of butter amount to from 4½ per cent to 9 per cent. From February 1 next, full weight must be given and marked on the wrapper. It is very probable that New Jersey is not alone in this.
