Accuracy

The ordinary person does not have any
idea of the painstaling accuracy with
which a druggist measures out each in
gredient of a prescription, then checks
each one over to see that the quantity
and kind is exactly right, and then mixes
them in the exact way which produces the
medicine desired by the physician. Come
in sometime and see how it is done. You
will have more confidence in the medi-
cine that you get from our Prescription
Department afterwards.

THE OREGON'S ENGINEER.
Wiley Millisan Overlooked in the
Praise ShOwered on the Great
Warshlp's Captain.

Having talked themselves nearly
to standstill about the achievement
of Capt. Clark in bringing the bat
tleship Oregon through the Straits
of Magellan (not around the
Horn, as it was published countless
times), and putting her into action
at the battle of Santiago, the emo
tionalists for the first time should
pause to consider by what means the
complish that wonderful feat. A be-
lief is growing in the navy that her
engines brought the Oregon around
Who controlled the engines, kept
them going, prevented journals from
getting hot, governed their speed,
and made sure that they did not suf-
fer the usual breakdown? I guess
that genius was Robert Wiley Mill
gan, says writer in the New York
Press.
Did you ever hear of Milligan,
chief engineer of the Oregon on that
most famous of all voyages since
Jason sought the Golden Fleece? 7
trow not. Like Brer Rabbit, he
seems to have lain low. All honor to
Clark, but there are a thousand Off

battleship be without her engines?
A derelict. What sent the Oregon
after the Spaniards, with ''bone in
her teeth?" Her engines, under Mil
ligan, the perfection Of mechanism.
