UNDER DIFFICULTIES
Youth Forced to Assume Dual
Personality to Get a Full
Course

CHICAGO, Jan. 19.-Samuel Dia-
monstein had to assume dual per-
sonality to get the education he
wanted. School. as other boys attend
it, was not enough for him. He lived
a double life on the rolls of the schools
he attended so that he might take
courses both in the daytime and at
night He is II years old.
AT the John NJ. Smythe school he
was registered as Samuel Diamond
stein and attended a night school un-
der the name of Samuel Deemond.
After he had completed his studies
in the night school and received a d.
ploma he went to the Medill high
school.

ELABORATE DISPLAY
BY OWL COMPANY
Exhibit Shows Painstaking in
Securing Pure Drugs and
Compounding Medicines

That the public may gain an idea
of the extreme care taken in the manu-
facture of its drugs, the Owl drug
company has made an interesting dis
play in its store in the Phelan build
ing To the many who have never
given thought to the preparation of
drugs with which they seek to correct
their health this exhibit should be an
object lesson, showing as it does the
care that is taken to prepare pure
drugs for the consumers.
Machines from the company'S labora-
tory. have been made a part Of the dis
play, so that those visiting the store
may have an opportunity to note the
sanitary preca autions taken in the prep
aration of the drugs. There is much
of interest in the display besides the
operation of the machines. All parts
of the world have been drawn on in
assembling the drugs shown in the eX-
hibition. There is SIENNA from India
sarsaparilla from Honduras, rhubarb
from China. buchu leaves from Africa
saffron from Spain, camphor from
Japan, colchicum from North Africa,
Irish moss from ireland and isinglass
from Russia.
The company is also showing how
ii attempts to safeguard those pur-
poisons. Triangular shaped
bottles are used exclusively for pois-
onous preparations so that the nature
of the contents may be known whether
the bottles be handled in the light or
in darkness
Another interesting feature of the ex-
hibit is that showing how commonly
used compounds are put up in car
tons ready for immediate delivery to
customers.

Washington, June 10.-Richard
Parr, who exposed the gigantic su-
gar frauds in the customs service,
viii not get the hundred thousand
dollar reward promised him unless
Secretary McVeagh asks the passage
of a special bill in congress for this
purpose.
There is $4,000 left in the fund
for rewards for detection of customs
frauds and the sundry civil bill adds
only $25,OOO
PARIS Investigations of the sugar
trust" resulted in a refunding to
the government Of more than ST.
100000 1t was said that Parr
would receive anywhere from 1 tn
so per cent OF that amount. 1t was
thought likely that he would receive
about 100000 and that the big re-
ward would be an incentive to, other
men in the federal service.
The sum Of 100000, while con-
sidered large reward, was men
toned because Parr while investi
eating the sugar concerns was Of
fered that amount to leave the
country.
