fend itself against continued attack
by guarding It's reputation before it is
taken from US. Although liquor is
necessity in its proper place, although
there is profit in its sales, although
some of the better class of patrons
desire that we handle the stuff, yet
we cannot conduct saloons in our phar-
macies in connection with them with
olt doing injury to our profession, which
has for its fundamental principles
the idea of uplifting humanity instead
of lowering its plane to that of the
saloon.
ct will be eventually no advantage
to handle liquors for it hurts our trade
interests by attracting an undesirable
class of patrons while we lose the sup
port of that class Of trade which we
most desire, we lose the confidence,
respect and moral standing of the gen.
eral public and also that of our own
selves.
During the present temperance
agitation. while such golden oppor-
tunity is offered US, why should we
not take the initiative course in the
matter and protect the integrity of our
profession by adopting measures
against the evil of our own accord
rather than be compelled to do so by
the opposition of public opinion, thus
receiving credit from the public of
raising our own standard.
Let Us go on record in our own
Vermont State Pharmaceutical Associa-
ton at once, that the public may know
that We are vitality interested N any
matter which concerns the betterment
Of all mankind and are willing to put
our shoulders to the wheel to help in
any forward movement for the good
of our nation.'

Captain John Smith and Rats.

The intrepid navigator Captain John
Smith in the course of his journeying
in the Bermudas had some experience
of the rat as destructive force. But
the great God of heaven" he writes,
caused such an increase of silly rats
in the space of two years so to abound
before they regarded them that they
filed not only those places where they
were first landed. but. swimming from
place to place, spread themselves into
all parts of the country. insomuch that
there was no land but it was pestered
with them, and some nshes have been
taken with rats in their bellies which
they caught in swimming from lie to
lie. Their nests they had in almost ev-
cry tree and in most places their bur-
rows in the ground like comics. They
spared not the fruits of the plants OF
trees or the very plants themselves,
but ate them up" All efforts to exter-
inmate these vermin proved unsuccess
full. and the unfortunate colOnists
were destitute Of bread for a yeere or
two"
