A HOT DRUG WAR.
RETAILERS BY THE EARS IN

Paul V. Finch a 90. Withdraw from
the Drug Association Combine and
Cut Prices to "A Finish-How They
Won the Fight.

Perhaps the greatest victory ever
achieved by firm, single handed,
against the combined strength of all
the other retail houses, backed by the
wholesale dealers, has been won by
Paul V. Finch & Co., the now cele-
brated cut-rate drug firm of Grand
Rapids Mich. Finch & Co. stepped
out of the association and boldly an
nounced that in the future they would
sell everything contained In their drug
store, including physicians prescrip-
tons, ut a rate which was from 30 to 80
per cent below the regular retail prices.
This raised perfect storm OF OPPOSE
tion among other druggists and every
means possible was devised to defeat
their purpose. The wholesale drug
firms were prevailed upon and re-
fused to sell them goods. and an
attempt was made to block all supply
channels throughout the country.
This was very difficult undertaking
as Finch & Co. financial standing is
par excellence, and their good round
dollars never failed TO secure all the
goods they wanted. The newspapers
through their news columns, and the
labor organizations numbering several
Thousand members, came out in sup
port of Finch * Co., the latter taking
formal action at their meetings The
outcome has been that Finch * Co.
have won a signal victory and now do
the largest retail drug business west
Of New York. shipping goods all over
the country while their store is the
busiest in the city. They have just
published large cut-rate price cata-
logue, which they are mailing free on
application. This catalogue will no
doubt be found very interesting. as

icines, drugs, household remedies, rub

can see at glance just the amount
saved on each purchase.

Hints on narrowing.

Very many pigs are lost through tho
Improper care of the sows. The un-
natural habit of the SOW trying to de-
troy her young comes largely from
improper diet, and unsanltary sur
roundings. says Pacific Rural Press.
II the mother is feverish and alb
normally excited 1t Is impossible TO say
what she will do. even toward her
young offspring. Infanticide is not un-
common among human beings that are
surrounded by filth and unsanitary
conditions, and We cannot wonder that
some of our poor brutes have the same
desire when we consider the life they
have TO lead.
Feeding.-The ration of the farrow-
ing sows should be generously varied,
and only sufficient corn be given to
generate enough heat To resist the
cold. In the summer time they need
scarcely any corn, but the conditions
are different in winter. The animal
should not be fattened. for this causes

animals fat unless given a fair amount

This exercise will keep their muscles
hard and in splendid order, and It is
the muscular system that must resist

Surroundings. - AS the narrowing
time approaches separate the sows
from the other hogs, so that they will
not be worried or unduly chased
around. Give them clean straw for
Deudlng, and clean out their pens
every few days TO make their con-
Vitions as pleasant as possible. No corn
should be given now. Feed largely ON
loose Stops as to cause weakness. The
judgment OF the owner must be exer-
cised in such case. Give the animal
all the water she needs, for she will
become more or less feverish as the
time approaches.
AFTER Care.-When the pigs have been

While some of the members of the
local bar were entertaining an attorney
from North Carolina he told me this
among q good many other professional
experiences, says the Detroit Free
Press. Though our mountain people

them in dicker or go after a dollar

to recover $4,000 damages for breach

case a lank six-footer from the mount

wanted to be called as my first witness.
He sternly declined to answer ques-
tons till on the stand, but reckoned
that his word was good and that he
would pull the young fellow through.
All ever asked him was his name and
you couldn't have stopped him with a
gun. He was the girls husband. He
had married her a week after the young
man left the mountains. He had con-
sented to her bringing the suit in her
maiden name and saying nothing about
her being a wife. But II it's So he
