PROGRESS OF soBRIETY,
The Marvellous Recent Advance Of
the Temperance Movement.

We take the liberty of extracting the
following from the pen of Eugene Wood
in Munsey's Magazine. 1t is a clincher
on the fallacy that Prohibition does
not prohibit"
A short and snappy sentence that can
get itself loudly pronounced and often
repeated for fifty years ought to expect
to find itself among accepted truths
like: Rome was not built in a day, y
or, IF you forget your umbrella, it is
sure to rain" Ever since 1851 the
short and snappy sentence, "Prohi-
bition does not prohibit, has been
loudly pronounced and often repeated
all over the United States, and yet it
never was so far as it is to-day from be-
ing an accepted truth.
The wise ones compressed their lips
and nodded their asserting heads when
ever it came across, and answered:
Eyes, sir, now that's just SO. Look
at Maine"
Look at Maine! There was the proof,
if anybody asked for it, that it didn't
do the least living bit of good to try to
make men sober by legislative act. If
a man wants whisky, he'll get it, law or
no law, they said, thus making an end
of the whole matter. Why, itwas plain

enough. Shut up the legal saloon, and
the illegal one appears-the blind IL
GER" the ''speak-easy. People go be-
hind the prescription counter of the
drug store. Failing all else, there are
patent medicines, compounded express
Iy for Just such emergencies out of
prune-iuice and whiskey, dear at the
price, but able to make you drunk if
YOU persevere. No, sir! Prohibition
does not prohibit. Look at Maine!
And every time you looked at Maine
you saw the obstinate, contrary COM
monwealth clinging fatuously to an ex-
ploded fallacy, just as if it worked 10
perfection. Foolish Mainel
Yet, after fifty years or SO of being a
horrible example, it seems to have oc-
Cured to the remainder of the country
that maybe Maine wasn't SO foolish as
she looked. There might be more in
prohibition than met the eye. So now,
instead of being the one lone, lorn ex-
ponent of a complete fizzle, she has the
company in Statewide prohibition of six
others-Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi,
Kansas, Oklahoma, and Tennessee.
To a certain extent l begrudge Ten

convictions, for her legislators, with
either the wisdom or the sense of humor

How Drug Clerks Often Save Lives

THE illegible writing of physicians is
as proverbial as that of the celebrated
Philadelphia lawyer" observed the old
druggist, but it is not generally known
that a great many physicians are ex
ceedingly careless in other ways in pre-
pairing their prescriptions. We drug
gists frequently find mistakes in pre-
scriptions which would be fatal to the
patient if the medicine were compound
ed as the physician directed. Almost
every State has some stringent laws for
bidding a druggist to change a physi-
clans prescription in any way, but as
a rule druggists do make corrections
and send out the medicine in its proper
form. Most physicians, knowing their
liability to error, rely on the dispensing
clerk to detect their mistakes and are
very grateful to them for doing it. 9th
ers, however (the exaggerated ego
kind, object seriously to having their
prescriptions altered and resent having
their attention called to their mistakes.
so, you see, the druggist has to use
considerable diplomacy to avoid offend,
ing the physician and at the same time
save the life of the patient.
Sometimes, when you take a pre-
scription to a drug store, the clerk,
after reading it, says, This prescription
will take a long time to fill. You'd

Not by a jug full, he gasped. You
didn't send it out, did your
Yes, sir, about IL O'Clock this
morning, | answered.
The physician gave me a Mortified
look and hurried out to his buggy; as
he was about to drive off he hesitated,
got out, hitched his horse again and
came slowly back into the store. q
There is no use in my going now,'
he said, for if Jackson took that medi-
cine he's been dead since 4 o'clock
Il gave him a drink to brace him up
and then told him that l had corrected
his error. He gave a long sigh of re-
lief as he said:
You're all right, Tom. I'll do you
a good turn some day. It's a lucky
thing for me you caught that mistake
if you hadn't I'd have lost the CASE
and he added as he took another drink,
Pm thinking it was a damned lucky
think for the patient, too

better not wait for it; come back for it
in an hour or So" That frequently
means that he has discovered a grave
error in the prescription and that he in
tends to consult the physician before
filling it.
Many years ago when | first started
in the business and was to a great ex-
tent dependent upon the good will of
the physicians for my success, a pre-
scription was brought in one morning
which, as soon as l read it, l knew
meant sure death to the patient if he
took the medicine. l told the boy who
brought it that he had better come back
in an hour, as it would take that long
to put it up. In the meantime | in
tended to consult the physician over the
telephone, as l was not willing to take
chances on killing the patient or offend
ing the physician.
Il found that the physician had gone
several miles out of town and was not
expected to return before afternoon.
That was tough, as l knew from the
nature of the prescription that the pa
tent was in a serious condition and
needed the medicine at once. So 1 took
the risk, altered the prescription and
sent it out.
Toward night the physician came in.
Taking him aside l showed him the
prescription and asked:

The Owosso times. (Owosso, Mich.) 1897-1926, 1909-12-10

Various reasons are given for the hIgn
prices. The proportionate increase In
the output OF gold. which today Is the
chief medium OF exchange and Is in
some respects a measure OF value, fur
nishes substantial explanation OF at
least part of the increase In prices.
The increase in population and the
more expensive mode of living Of the
people, which have not been accom-
panied by a proportionate increase in
acreage production. may furnish fur
Their reason. 1t is well 10 note that the
increase in the cost of living Is not
confined to this country. but prevails
the world over. and that those who
would charge increases in prices to the
existing protective tnriff must meet
the fact tina: e." rise in prices has
taken place alirest wholly in those
products of f',e factory and farm In
respect to wh,h here has been either
no increase IL The tariff or in many
Instances very considerable reduc-
ton.
