| The drug business is opening its doors
to women all over the world. The medi-
cal authorities of Sweden have recon-
mended the government to introduce
the requisite regulations for women to
! become apothecaries. In Norway wom-
en- have been six years entitled to study
pharmacy and manage and own dispen-
saries. In Finland there are seven
women apothecaries.
The women are claiming Colonel
1ngersoll as being for their cause. In
his lecture in New York May 3, he
said: There will never be a really
great civilization until women enjoy the
same rights as do men. The highest
ambition of any man is to win the love
OF some noble girl, and the highest am
bition of every good girl must be to win
the love OF some good man."
The president, on his return from his
tour, must acknowledge that he has
seen great country, that he has been

out on pleasant jaunt, to steam away
for Europe. Any one following the
course Of the presidents travels must
see much to interest him and quicken
his patriotism Commercial-G Gazette.

It's not generally known that plati-
