'and ] noticed that the Taft sentiment
Is strong everywhere. I am quite con-
yineed that Taft viii be nominated at
the convention. Of course. we Of Penp-
syIvania favor Knox, who Is a clean
strong and able man. but It seems that
Taft, at least up to date has the largest
number Of delegates instructed for him.
Roosevelt is a wonderful man. He is.
physically, morally, and mentally, a per-

and the drug business will. trust, as
sumo more normal aspects.

no business where this rule applies with
greater force than the proprietary medi-
