of the poor do they visit the slums, but merely for
the sake Of curiosity These trips teach them moth
ing-it is simply diversion from monotonous
existence that bores them to the verge of desperation

Stunning may amuse some persons but it is
hard on the poor. They certainly do not like to be

pitiable poverty. These humble persons possess as

ACCORDING to the daily press the prohibition
wave that is sweeping over the country is causing
quite decrease in the number. Of drug stores in
some localities. The pure drugs law also a
severe blow to those dispensaries that made spe-
cialty of patent medicines Some of them have quit
the business and others are barely making living.
There is not much difference between the average
cheap saloon and many of the brands of patent medi
cines that have been offered for sale during the past
few years. In fact of the brands were such
glaring frauds that most of the magazines and many
of the better class newspapers refused to advertise
them.
The pure food and drug law certainly arrived at
the right time. Another decade or two and the
would have been doped to death All this for the
sake of getting rich quick by few persons of per-
verted ideals and selfish motives.
