His address was decidedly the fea- ture of the second days proceedings.
 Two important questions, which were referred to the committee on resolutions, which will report today, were the Arkansas poison law and and the model anti-narcotic law It was argued by the members that other poisons should be inserted in the law of the State governing the sale of cocaine.

 An interesting paper. embracing many excellent suggestions, was read by Frank Hurrle, Pine Bluff pre- scriptionist. He recommended some good changes in the laws relating to pharmacists.
 Interesting discussions followed the reports of the Committee on National Fcrmulary and the Committee on Pharmacopoeia. Other subjects dis cussed during the day were The U. s. F. and N. F. Propaganda. Com pounding and dispensing, propaganda selections; Avoirdupois, apothecaries and the metric system; Percentage solutions, colorometric standards; Pharmaceutical manipulations, ambi- dextery; Pharmaceutical elegance, clarification by Alteration through inerta media, and the American Phar- lGaceutical Association. The report of delegates to the A. P. H. A. was sub mitted by Dr. John B. Bond Sr., of Little Rock.
 Tn the afternoon the white cap brigade. of the Arkansas Pharma- ceutical Travellers Association, par aded the streets with brass band and serenaded each of the drug stores in the city. The Travellers form a branch of the Arkansas Association of Pharmacists, with membership of about twenty-five.

He had done nothing to endanger
