Wednesday Afternoons
Business Sc sic n

The auditorium filled to it's chair
capacity with talking, listening, think
ing and acting participants, the BUSH
ness session of the Iowa State Phar-
maceutical association In the Y M. Q.
A. yesterday afternoon easily earned
what the president and others said for
it that it was the best and largest
business session of the organization
ever held To the layman who is not
familiar with the pill rollers when
they are in active business meeting,
the scene presented one of activity and
keen interest in which all were alive
to the matter being discussed and took
active part IN 1t.
The Cocaine Law.
Perhaps the greatest interest was
centered in the talk of j. w. Glenn
ents or Marengo, member of the state
pharmacy board. Mr.. Clements was
assigned to an address on the recent
drug legislation but confined his re-
marks to statement of legislation,
answering questions and making ex-
plantations rather than making an adj
dress. So interested did the audience
become, that all gathered close to the
platform and piled questions by the
score to the speaker. The cocaine laws
came In for much discussion and were
stated by the speaker to be In part as
follows:
| mo persons, firm or corporation
shall sell, exchange, deliver or have
| In his possession with intent to sell,
exchange or expose or offer for sale

caine, alpha or beta eucaine or deriva-
tives of any of them, or any cotton
root, ergot, oil Of tansy, oil OF savin
or derivaties Of any of them, except
Personally to registered physicians,
veterinarians or licensed dentists, for
medical, dental or veterinary purposes
and every person, firm or corporation
selling or keeping for sale such drugs,
shall keep a register in which shall be
| recorded the date Of each sale, the
amount Of such drugs sold and the
