But department and dry goo6s stores
have been building up a big business
selling hydrogen peroxide, vaseline,
carbolic acid preparations, fly paper,
face powders, tooth paste, witch hazel
and dozens of other household articles.
But these are drugs They are sold
as drugs and to be used as medicines,
hence they come under the prohibit
ton Of the law and the state board,
which has charge CT enforcing the law,
says that the sale of these things,
and the patent medicines by others
than druggists, must cease.
The state board Is serving notices
on all department, dry goods and gro.
Gerry stores that sell fly paper and face

~ OPEKA, KAN.-Hereafter when a
i Kansan wants TO buy bottle of
vaseline or a cake Of medicated soap
he will have to go to a drug store. If
one wants two sheets OF fly paper or
a package of fly poison, he cannot run
around to the corner grocery and
get it charged on the grocery bill. He
must hike to the drug store. The
state board of pharmacy has ruled
against the department stores and gro
ceries selling drugs.
No one has been poisoned or hurt
in buying department or grocery store
drugs, but the business was getting to
be so big that the board decided to
stop 1t before the business ran away.
The department stores usually shave
the price a little, and maybe this en-
couraged the ruling. The pharmacy

 What Home Rule Means

John l. Redmond, leader of the Irish parliamentary party, i'll a state ment in the Daily Mail on .tWhat Ire. land Would Be Like Under Home Rule, predicts that it would be very different from what the people antict- pate The existing political dissensions he says, would be replaced by econo mic, municipal and educational ques- tions. on which the lines of cleavage would be quite different from the pre- sent day lines of political cleavage. Then, probably, says MT Redmond, new classes Of men would enter the the political field to become members of the Irish Parliament. Those would come first from the ranks of the Irish gentry, cultivated men with stake in the country, who heretofore had held aloof because they opposed the princi- pal of home rule, but who would be a great acquisition to the political life and with whom the question Of religion would never arise. In the second place they would be recruited from the ranks of the business and commer. cial classes owing 10 the industrial re viyal certain to follow the granting of home fnle.
 Mr. Redmond considers that the question of inc standardization Of the railways would become important means to this end. With regard to the Protestant minority the lrish leader says he k ready 10 accept any safe guards consistent with ordinary de. mocratic principles, but is convinced that twelve months of home rule would lay all such bogeys forever. Lastly Mir, Redmond thought that the idea that financial settlement just to both countries would be a serious difficulty, is quite unfounded, On the contrary, he is convinced that an investigation will show that the argument founded on finance is strongest to all in favor of home rule.
