About Druggists.

lhdianola, Miss, Feb. IS, .o9,
To the Good Citizens of Missis.
sippi
During the past year, the State
Board of Pharmacy has earnestly
labored for the upbuilding of the
profession of Mississippi, and l am
glad to say the good people of the
state have come to our aid, and
done lots of good, by reporting to
this Office, and to the several men,
bers of the Board, the names of
many who are imposing upon the
confidence of the people, and vio-
lating one of the most important
laws on the statue books.
tits a known and commonly talk
ed fact, that in many instances the
leading druggists of a place and es-
pecially the larger towns in Missis-
sippi, are working men who, in the
sight of the law, are totally incom-
petent to handle prescription work,
and do so simply because they can
get such help cheap, disregarding
the welfare of the public. Does
not common sense teach us that
thousands OF innocent people are
killed annually by such incompe.
tency? Is it not time for such in
tolerance to be brought to an end ?
Will you good citizens in every
community in Mississippi sit still
and allow, maybe, some loved one
in your family to fall victim to
such malpractice ? 1t matters not
how skilled your physician be, the
man who prepares his prescription
is the one in whose hands the life
of your dear one lies. When a |
physician goes into a community |
to practice medicine, without IL
cense, the fact soon becomes known
and he is run out. Why should |
you make an exception of drug
gist or drug clerk, even though he
is a clever fellow, and lived among
you for years?
The laws Of Mississippi do not
recogn:ze anyone,4 as being compe=
tent to practice Pn.-r~Iaceutics.
who has not Hassed the examina-
ton and can show you Certificate
OF Registration, duly issued by the
State Board of Pharmacy.
The State Board of Examiners
will meet at jackson, Tuesday,
April the sixth, and / appeal to all
non-registered druggists, who,
knowingly, are violating the law,
10 appear for examination. To the
good people of Mississippi, do I
appeal to report all such violators,
hat the Board of Pharmacy might
be in position to investigate, and,
L
f necessary, prosecute same.
Yours very truly,
L. H. WILKINSON, JR.,
Secretary.

Let us plant our poorest land in
peas, our most productive land in
corn and peas, and our medium
land in cotton.
Fresh land never packs or runs
together; it seldom suffers from
drouth; it seldom suffers from wet
weather; it can be cultivated soon
after heavy rains; it can be easily
stirred during the longest drouth.
There is one difference and only
one difference between the fresh
land and old land and that differ
ence is trash. Let us fill our soil
full of vegetable matter by grow
ing corn and peas, oats followed by
peas and turning under all the corn
and cotton stalks, grass, trash and
etc. The growing of cotton on the
same land year after year removes
all the vegetable matter from the
soil.

An analysis of the Southern States
shows that the farmers are grow
ing one crop year after year on tue
same land and making a much
smaller use of horse power on the
farm, and, consequently, less use
of labor-saving farm implements
than in the northern states. This
accounts for the fact that we earn
only about one-sixth as much as the
northern farmers.

Harrow just as the corn begins
to come up, then give shallow cul-

ways after rain, until it is laid
by. Deep blowing or cultivation
is injurious after the corn is 9 inch

ors, heel sweeps, and winged
sweeps are much better than plows.
Thin before the corn is 8 inches

and good cultivation.
Plant peas in corn at time of lay
ing by.
When the ears begin to set, pull
the tasseIs out of all weak stalks

itably on every farm in this county.

was flushed animated and evidently
enjoying as only 10 can the novelty of

PACKING A TRUNK

1t is generally understood that no
class of women save the French really
know the true art of packing a trunk,
especially one that must contain all
kinds of garments for various seasons,
such as the trunk that goes with its
owner abroad. Even a careful packer
may not know some of the secrets
which are worth knowing. The French
woman packs in one trunk what the
American woman puts in three. First
she begins with the dress skirt, which
is always placed in the bottom of the
trunk. At each end are strips of tape
securely tackled along the edge and to
this tape the skirt is pinned with long
hat pins, both at the belt and hem,
which prevents it from slipping to one
end. Drawers are neatly rolled from
the band to the hem and the ruffles are
folded back, making pads to insert in
the fronts of soft lingerie dresses that
are liable to be crushed. Stockings are
rolled from tip to top and used instead
of tissue paper in stufting sleeves
Nightgowns, chemises and starched
articles are folded fiat and square, as
they come from the laundry. They take
up little space. Handkerchiefs, belts,
pins anu sinai dlblSiS9 eNAO pAe'CSt Al
labeled boxes. A fine hat placed in a
box is held with stout hatpins driven
through the crown of the hat into the
box, and plumes are protected with tiss
sue paper In some trunks there is a
tray for shirt waists and they are sep
arated from each other with strips Of
canvas hooked with metal hooks into
metal rings on each side. The waists
are pinned, top and bottom, to the
strips. A trunk packed in this manner
is secure, can be carried thousands of
miles, and will arrive in good condition
at the journeys end.
