OUR BREAD AND BUTTER.
CONSUMERS TO GET FULL WEIGHT. By Telegraph.—'Plena Association. Wellington, Last Night. Hon. G. W. Russell, Minister of Internal Affairs, atates that lie has given instructions that when inspectors arc weighing bread at any bakery, on behalf »f the Department, they are to take a number of loaves, say ten, and weigh them all together. If the gross weight is right then (he baker will not be penalised for any slight variation in the separate loaves. If ten loaves do not make full weight the baker will be prosecuted in respect of loaves which are found to be short weight. The same principle is being applied in connection with butter. Inspectors are watching sales of butter, and weighing packages as occasion arises, in order to make sure that customers are not being defrauded.
