BERLIN, Oct. 26.-When the hearing

their efforts to gain admission; but only
those who had cards OF admission

The atmosphere in the court room was
one cf excitement in anticipation OF a
decision today.
At the outset Count Won Moltze arose
and said that. in view Of certain hints
that had been made yesterday regard
ing the circumstances which had at
tended his resignation as military
csmandant Of Berlin, he desired 10
make a statement.
He said;
When the accusations published in

Kaiser, ] gave my word of honor 70
General Won Plessen, mis- majesty's
aide-de-camp, that I had never COM
mitted any criminal offenses. At the

such charges. His majesty accepted my

NEW PHARMACY LAW

Copies of the new pharmacy law have
been sent to all the druggist in the state so
they may familiarize themselves with the
provisions ther in contained and the
changes that have been made. What is
considered by the druggists as "a very i'm
portant provision is the one relation to
the sale of poisonous drugs.
The section dealing with this matters
says: "It shall be unlawful for any per-
son in this state to sell or deliver to any
minor under 16 years of age, except upon
the written order of an adult, any of the
following substances, and it shall also be
unlawful to sell or deliver to any person
any of the following described substances,
or any poisonous compound, combination
or preparation thereof, to-wit: Strychnia,
arsenic or corrosive sublimate y"
The law then says that the person to
whom the delivery is to be made must be
aware of the poisonous character OF the
drug, the druggist must learn if the ma
terial is wanted for lawful purpose and
the box or bottle must be marked with
the drug, the word poison and the name
of the firm dispensing the substance. A
record of the gale must be kept by the
pharmacist, also of the quantity
delivered, the purpose for which
it is wanted, the date Of delivery and the
name OF the dispenser, and the book must
be kept for five years for the information
of the officers of the law.
Another provision prohibits the ped
ding through the streets of any medi-
cines or instruments for the treatment Of
disease.

LETTER TO F, Il. MOORE
Middletown, Del.

Rev. SIR We should like to ask your
advice on a certain thing done: was it
right or wrong2 We shall have to state
it, including the names.
DF Dreicorn is painter in Holyoke,
Mass. John ] Donohne is an architect,
Springfield, nearby.
Donohue was building, Holyoke, the
Holy Family Institute, lettering the
work by bids, as usual. Dreicorn got the
paint job: the paint was to be lead-and-oil
But Dreicorn said to himself; 'Iead.
and-oil isn't half so good as Devoe and it
costs more money, what shall do r"
He painted Devoe; and, after the work.
was done. told Donohue, saying: ''if that
isn't better than any lead-and-oil job,
I'll make it co."
Was Dreicorn right or wrong in paint
ing lead-and-oil job Devoe
You ask how it turned out. This was
six years ago. Now Donohue has an
other job there, big addition to tie Cath
olic Hospital; and be doesn't ask bids
for the painting, but Gays to Dreicorn
go ahead Dreicorn and give me as good
job as you did on the Institute.
That's the best paint job lever saw"
The question is "Was Dreicorn right in
painting Devoe whan he had agreed TO
paint lead-and- oil ?''
That isn't quite ALL Lead-and-oll is
expected to last three years If Dreicorn
had used lead-and-oil, there would have
been another job for him or some some
body else three years ago.
Was he right in losing that job for
himself or -body-else three years ago?
The Institute took 200 gallons Devoe
aud cost 81 900. the paint has worn six
years, when Donohue says ssit's the best
paint Job lie ever saw" II be had used
lead-and-oil, it would have cost aboutS22OO
for the two paint jobs (six and three years
ago) and be hungry for paint again.
Dreicorn lost $1,000 Of business and took
the risk of making Donohue mad and
losing his business, forever: all to save
the Holy Institute $1,000 besides the fuss
OF paint job.
Was Dreieorn right or wrong as
painter: and which would you paint your
church, iead-and-oil or Desoe?
Yours truly
