President Adams Lays the General Rail-
road Decentralization at Its Door.

CHICAGO, Oct 13-President Adams, of
the Union Pacific road, who was in the city
on his way east. said that he thought the in
terstate law is greatly responsible for the
decentralization in railroad affairs, and ex-
perience has shown that it Is not based upon
sound principles
The inability Of roads to make lower rates
on traffic between large commercial centers
and intermediate local points, he says. has
the effect Of driving the business away from
large points, and the prohibition on pools is
leading TO general consolidation Of roads.
The weaker lines, being unable to compete
against strong lines on even terms viii be
forced out Of existence and be absorbed by
the strong lines.

Dispensing of Prescriptions.

One Of the British medical journals gives
the results Of all inquiry undertaken in a GER
tain district to ascertain the degree Of accur-
acy which was observed in the dispensing Of
prescriptions. ln all, 50 prescriptions were
sent ~out-namely, 80 to chemists and drug
gists, Ii 10 cooperative stores, : to doctors
shops and 4 to certain drug companies.
They decided TO give a liberal margin for er-
rors, and accordingly did not schedule any
prescription as incorrectly made il the chief
constituents were within 10 per cent. Of the
amount ordered. According 70 this classical
ton no fewer than II cut OF the ~ prescrip'
tions were incorrectly dispensed; the limits
Of error we're also very wide indeed, for In
one case the quantity Of tie drug supplied
was less by s. per cent. than that ordered,
and in another 81 per cent. more than had
been ordered. The chemists and druggists
pure and simple came out Of this ordeal with
great credit, as in only W cases did tho
errors mount up SO largely as to be scheduled,
while cooperative stores figure on the black
list three times, the doctors shop" once, and
the drug company" three times. Briefly,
OF the latter class - per cent were untrust'
worthy; also, ~ per cent. OF those from
doctors shops while ~ per cent. Of those
from stores and 6 per cent. Of those from
regular druggists exceeded the margin OF
