LOUIS Yesterday. Tuesday night many
of the visitors took boat rides Oh Lake

nowS by moonlight. So they were all
ready 10 o'clock yesterday morning
TO begin their business session. The
first thing done was the election OF
officers for the coming year. Z. r.

ISOLATION tor its success. +. ShumpIk.
of Minneapolis. was elected first vice
president; j. o. Peterson, of Minnie

L. Breckenridge, of Pine City, third
vice president. Charles L. Heller. OF

ceSsantly in his double Office for the

Harrah. Of Minneapolis, read re port
as to the advisabiity of the members of
the association preparing line of
remedies from their own reclp It's for
sale in their drug stores. to take the
place of many of the patent medicines
HOW sold by them. Discussion of this
idea occupied all the rest OF the morn
ing session and part of the afternoon
meeting. 1t was decided to do this, and
resolution was adopted to that
effect. This, in their judgment, will
prevent large part of the patent
medicine humbuggery and put a line of
thoroughly reliable and useful rem
edieS within the reach of the people
without special prescriptions from
physicians.
Delegate Gaynor presented resolu-
ton authoriZingthe com inittee on legs
lation TO prepare bill imposing a
yearly tax of 500 on all perpatetic drug

send out man that will not come
within the proposed provision. the
law is designed to compel those who
int no
fits and patent medicines to cont ribute
their share to the funds of the state
board of pharmacy. The resolution was
adopted.
1t was decided to meet next year at
some point on Lake Minnetonka, to be
decided later. This concluded the bust
