sented to foreign countries which have adopted the metric system, equiva- 
lents in the metric system be given for the ordinary English expressions 
for length, capacity, bulk, and weight, -

tions, in all cases where the expense or labor involved would not be too 
great, to give the metric equivalents of the weights and measures men-
