1906, the following are few OF the

burlington Hawkeye.)

(burllHSlOH t1dWkeye.)
And now it is Marshalltown that is
coming to the fore. In fact Marshall
town has habit of coming to the fore,
that at times disconcerts her less ac-
tive rivals. She is going to have new
Elks' home, and she is going to put a
little matter of 100000 into that home.
That looks like big bunch of money.
But it is money we'll invested. For the
Elks' home will be the home of the
business element of the city, and in
that Elks home many things will be
planned and brought to fruition that
will result in lasting good for Mar
shalItown. The Elks organization will
probably prove more effective in bring
ing the men together and in promoting
acquaintance and confidence than any
other means. And there will come
day, when even those will rejoice over
the new Elks building in Marshaltown,
who may today have their misgivings
and perhaps would prefer to see the
project dropped.

liquor for the sake of making money
on booze, but there are druggists
whose chief business Is dispensing
BOOZE and there are some to whom
the sale Of drugs is side issue and
the sale of beer and whisky, some OF 1t
of every doubtful quality, the CHIEF
business.
Some druggists claim there is no
money in the drug business unless
whisky Is among the articles sold. But
plenty of pharmacists have proved the
falsity OF that claim. They have proved
that by catering to high class trade.
with all the side lines-from toilet ar
tices to cigars and soda water-car-
ried in modern drug store, they can
make good money.
The people of those cities which have
or have had drug store saloons-which,
by the way, are far worse than the
average regular saloon, In fact on a
par with tho low down groggery-wtll
have not a little sympathy with the
movement to disassociate the drug
store from the liquor traffic, and will
readily sympathize with those pharma-
cists who object to the disrepute into
which INSCRIPTIONS vendors have
brought an honorable profession.
