SUNDAY SCHOOL BOYS
Popular League Gets Under
Way on Two Diamonds.
BIG CROWDS PRESENT
COMMISSIONERS WEST AND MAC
FARLAND MADE REMARKS.
Fourth Defeated Foundry and Calvary
the Mount Vernons in Well
Played Games.

The popularity of the Sunday School
League was never better demonstrated than
yesterday afternoon. when over 5000 root
ers gathered at Mount Pleasant grounds,
filed the grand stand, Overfiowed the
bleachers and took advantage of every
viewpoint to "have a look at the opening
game of the season of 1908.
Commissioner West made the first hit of
the game. After one Of his well-known
happy talks to the boys and their admirers,
in which he referred to the suspicious OPEN
ing on Easter, and expressed the hope that
every man on each team would make a hit
and that every fielder would go errorless,
he closed his remarks with: 81 know you
do not want to hear me talk, so 1 will an
ticipate the umpire and call Batter up "
This put the already good-humored crowd
In fine fettle for the game, and added to
the Commissioners batting average with
the fans. Mr.. West then handed a swift
inshoot to Umpire Belts. which he accepted
with the characteristic grace with which
he renders his decisions.
Never before In the history of amateur
sport was league season opened with
greater enthusiasm, with the players read
Ter or filter for the fray, or with their fol-
lowers in such a hungry condition for the
national sport
Last years champion Blues had for their
opponents the strong Foundry team which
finished second in last seasons race, and
the champions capped the big end of the
score by to 4.
The game, after the initial inning, was
pretty contest. a few errors cropped UP
on both sides, owing, doubtless, to the in
tense desire of each to win, but the hitting
ana heldlng was of the sort the fans love
Both teams played with vim and DASH
only an hour and ten minutes being con-
sumed. Bradley and Bishop were very
much in the game, the former showing
last seasons good eye by picking 'em
out for free pass in the first inning, which
resulted in the first run of the year Brad
also pounded the horsehide for a triple and
a two-bagger.
BISHOP followed Bradley in the opening
inning with one of his pretty sacrifices and
put up a splendid exhibition of base run
nlng, one at third in particular being of
the IlmeliSht variety. This excellent ALL
around player butted into a couple of err
rors made on plays where some fielders
would never have got near the ball He is
not record player, but digs" for his
team
Donaldson was hit rather freely at first
ana the champs" cinched the game in the
hrst inning, but after that he steadied
qcWn. Cunningham was effective in all
but one inning, and both twirlers put I'm
good fielding games Three double PLAYS
evidence the fine condition the BOYS are in
for this early stage of the race. The off,
cial score:

the first game of the season. The Mount
Vernons made a strong bid for victory

From the four corners of this community. from distant cities and even from remoter sec hons where absolute precision and cleanliness is demanded and appreciated, prescriptions come s to this store. 4-e,4.s,.,ts a . .,
 Men as busy and serious as the trained nurses of hospital with the same rigid disci- pline governing their actions, are solemnly measuring, weighing and compounding throughout the long and active day.
 Each of the compounders seems in spirit at the very bedside where the medicine is needed, so absorbed in the interest displayed in the compounding of every prescription.
 . After the requisite ingredients of prescrip- ton have been cautiously compounded, there follows careful writing of directions, check ing and multiple checking of its minutest de- tails Not one of the prescription experts relies on his judgment alone. Another adept in the art goes over the prescription with him, and when both are satisfied as to the accuracy of the work performed, it is checked up'' and du- ly entered in volume for permanent record.
 The mission of these men of the mortar and pestle is very unusual in the drug store of to- day-it is to attain the acme of accuracy that human science and carefulness can reach. Pro- fessional pride is as strong as creed in the breasts of these men, and even stronger in the hearts of their employers.
The Montgomery advertiser., 1905-01-15

No, it is far from pleasant to think of drug store where untidiness prevails, or where occasional drug and chemical receptacles are empty or even entirely lacking.
 It is not every druggist who does carry an absolutely full line of drugs requisite to proper ly fill all prescriptions that a physician may send in. Few indeed are the drug stores where proper attention is given to every detail of phy- sicians' prescriptions It requires special equip ment and scientific management of laboratory scientific discipline, tidiness and cleanliness. in addition to the necessary knowledge, expert ness and apparatus--to fill such requirements.
 It is along this line that we have been most successful.
 We sell sickroom articles. The stock is most complete just as technically complete as the stock of drugs and chemicals in the labora- tory. All those collateral articles that go with medicines, all the appliances and apparatus for the sickroom, or the things which relieve or add to the comfort of the convalescent and the in- valid are here supplied.
 You know about feeding cups and medi- cine glasses; special bandages, plasters and gauges, rubber goods that play so impor- tant part in the sick-room; the different kinds of thermometers, atomizers, sprays, syringes, obstetrical outfits, sickroom lamps, sterilizers and sponges.
 Besides these, there are numberless sanita. ry appliances for the ordinary household. In the matter of toilet articles we know from our scientific standpoint the ones that are best, and supply them.

Our t Store without question the best equipped and completely store <

There is hardly physician in Atlanta who is not familiar with this store, which for over fifth of a century has borne the Jacobs name-the store where unusual results, far be- yond the ordinary druggist, are every day ac- complishments. , Physicians know that the success of their treatment depends on the purity of the drugs, tinctures and extracts they prescribe. They can not combat disease and poisonous germs unless the apothecary has the scientific knowl- edge of the subject that enables him to grasp the meaning of prescription.
 ! There are new antidotes, new synthetic remedies, new ideas all along the line. We are kept busy by the best physicians in the city, who come to us for new remedies, rare medi- cines and chemicals.
 When prescription is beyond the knowl- edge of the neighborhood druggist, when it is too complicated or delicate for the "corner chemist" it is sent by common consent to this store to be compounded.
 So it is famous place as drug stores go- somewhat of central regulator for other drug gists, like the sun7dial for system of chronom- eters.

 Dear Sir:-On my return from few days out ing on Cumberland Island I find your letter.

It was we'll filled with good, pure and fresh goods in great varieties, and great many of them in the original packages and of the best make. Your system of checking your prescriptions I thought splendid. Yours very truly,

Do you pretend to know the ingredients that go into the medicines which you somewhat carelessly have compounded at any chance place
 No one thinks of seeking physician, as some people go hunting for the green lights of drug store, when they go to have prescrip- tion filled. Oft'times servant is simply told Send this to drug store."
 This is gross carelessness. The mixing of prescription properly is just as important as its proper writing. If you are careful about your doctor you ought to be careful about your druggist.
 Obviously, physicians could be trusted to have their prescriptions filled properly and to the best advantage, but their professional stand ing will not permit them to designate one drug gist to the exclusion of another.
 That is why we make this statement.
 We are telling you exactly what your phy- sician might feel was somewhat unprofessional for him to mention.

 ' Atlanta, Ga., Gentlemen:-Having had occasion number of times to investigate the character of drugs handled by your Prescription Department, it gives me much pleasure to testify that have found only those of the highest quality, from the best manufacturers in this country and abroad. Your work for me has been eminent ly satisfactory. Yours truly,
