The State Commission of Pharmacy
calls attention to the penalty for viola
ton of the law regarding the control and
supervision of all apothecary stores.
Also to the fact that dealers in cities,
towns or villages where there is an
apothecary store, are violating State
law when they sell or keep for sale
poisons or medicines unless the same is
placed and kept under the control of a
registered apothecary. But dealers in
towns or villages where there is no
apothecary store may under certain con-
ditions receive "Permit" to sell poi
sons and medicines used as home RENE
dies or for agricultural purposes. This
is important to country traders and they
should apply to Frank r. Partridge,
Augusta, Me-, for permit if they deal
in these articles.

The new cigarette law went into opera
ton, May /. The profits on the little
nuisance are said to be small, and as the
penalty of the law is severe it may be
observed. 1t ought TO be, and we hope
will be, although We have our doubts.
The law reads as follows: "Whoever,
by himself. his clerk, servant or agent,
directly or indirectly. manufactures for
sale, or directly or indirectly sells, offers
for sale, has in his possession with intent
to sell, or gives away TO any person
under the age Of u years, any cigarette,
