Made Over Prescriptions.

K + ~
There is one loss sustained by drug
gists that very few people know
about" said the experienced clerk.
"That is in the prescriptions that have
to be made over, the same as clerks,
stenographers, writer's and artists. no
matter how painstaking, frequently
have to Go their work over. The most
careful drug clerk in existence is bound
to make mistakes sometimes in meas
uring and mixing. He may pour in too
much of some kind of liquid or sift
in too much of a certain powder. In
most cases the overdose would not real
" affect the value of the medicine, but
the conscientious clerk isn't going to
take any chances on numbering any
body, so he throws away the whole
mixture and makes up another pre-
scription. - New York Globe.

verSation to public business by the
voice of Vice President Fairbanks.
Following the divine invocation in
the two branches there were the usual
swearing in of new members.
As the present session is the second
session of the Sixtieth congress, no
organization was necessary.
The days session was very short.
After the absolute necessary husi.
ness was transacted the two houses
adjourned for the day in orders to pay
proper tribute to the memory of the
late Senator Allison of Iowa. His
successor, Albert B. Cummins, was
sworn in today.
Prominent among the men who were
the recipients of condolences could be
noted Representatives Hepburn of
Iowa and Lands and Overstreet of In
diana, erstwhile leaders on the Repub-
lican side OF the house.
On the Democratic side the men
who attracted the greatest amount of
notice were John Sharp Williams of
Mississippi, who has relinquished his
pest of representatives of the house mi
nority in view of his election to a seat
in the senate, and Champ Clark, leader
of the house Democrats.
Presidents Message is Read.
Following the usual procedure in
such cases, the two houses of congress
adjourned Tuesday after listening to
the reading of the message from the
president.
The reading was. followed with in
terest by most of the senators and rep
resentatives. there being general
feeling that this mark of attention was
due to the last annual message sent to
congress by President Roosevelt.
The relations of courts to present
day questions and especially toward
labor was given more attention in the
message than any other subject The
president declared that there was
pressing need that the judiciary
should take more humane and less
academic attitude upon the interpreta-
ton of the constitution. He defended
criticism of the courts, but said that
it should be just and restrained Mr..
Roosevelt referred to Mr.. Taft as a
Judge of the type most needed today.
Concerning the tariff the message
had nothing to say. The contest be-
tween Mr. Taft and Speaker Cannon
and the reform of the rules of the
house also were left unnoticed. There
was a. reassuring word upon the finan-
cial condition of the government, but
no attempt was made to outline the
course which currency revision
should take.

DR.. II. NJ. Derr, head of the civil
engineering department Of the State
college, who has been assisting the
state railroad commission in taking
the physical valuation of the railroads,
was here Thursday in company with
Hr. Witt, the other engineer of the
commission. They went from here
to Greenway, in the northern part OF
the state, where the 500 and Milwau-
kee lines cross. The last legislature
passed Il very valuable law compel
ling railroads were they cross to put
in connecting tracks, but the two roads
mentioned have refused to do this at
Greenway and the railroad commits
sion will compel them to. DR.. Derr
and Mr.. Witt will make their report
upon the case and the commission
will then take action.
The connecting track law is one
of the best pieces of anti-railroad
legislation enacted at the last session
and it's strict enforcement will meet
with popular approval. Under the old
system shippers often had to pay
freight on their goods a great many
extra miles, because the transfer
could not be made at the most IN
venient point.
