REPUBLICAN CLUB.
The Republican club held an interest
ing session last night and several inter-
esting topics came UP for discussion.
II was decided to change the name OF
the club and now II is TO be known as the
Citizens" club. This is the result OF some
little agitation on the part OF the mem
bers. The policy OF the club seems to
be more OF an improvement society policy
than that OF a partisan organization. In
consideration OF this the club now ad-
mits members of all parties to member
ship.
Among the unfinished business was the
annual election OF officers, which result
ee as follows: President. Frank r. Med
berry; first vice president. ii. f. Herrick;
secretary. John II. French; treasurer.
Or. Allison.
1t seemed TO be the una nimous wish
OF the club to reflect DR.. Allison as presi-
dent but he declined the nomination.

A HEARING
Given at State House on Amend
ment TO Medical Practice Law.

The committee on the judiciary OF the
senate, gave hearing on the following pro-
posed amendment TO section OF Chapter
?26 Of the Public Laws:
Section ]. Section OF Chapter 926 or
the Public Laws is hereby amended by
adding at the end Of said section the
words NOR to prevent the recommended
ton and sale OF proprietary medicines
and such articles as are commonly
known as household remedies
Sec 2 All acts and parts OF acts In
consistent herewith are hereby repealed.
and this act shall take effect from and af-
ter its passage.
The proposed amendment was advoca.
ted by James O'Hare. n druggist OF this
city. who said that the purpose OF the
proposed change was TO give the phar-
macists the right TO recommend such
remedies as were classed as household
remedies. He maintained that the presen:
law gave no privilege as was desired.
DR. Swarts OF the state board OF health
was opposed to the law as he maintained
tho prosecution OF one or more druggists
who had diagnosed cases and had pre-
scrfbed for the patients, was the founda-
tion of the law. He did not believe Il
possible TO stop the sale OF proprietary
medicines. and it was only to stand be-
tween the public and persons who as
sumed 10 practice medicine without -
cense that he appeared In behalf OF the
board
Mr. O'Hare maintained that In cases
where n person diagnosed his or her own
disease the druggist desired the right TO
sell There was no desire 10 impose on
the public. The pharmacy law provided
restrictions as 10 what should be sold AMI
what should not he sold. The amendment
would give the druggists a feeling of-cer-
tainty they did not now have
