THE DRUGGISTS.

Welcome, the druggists! They have
been with us before and We trust they
may return often and remain long.
They are representative business men
of the state gathered to deliberate
on ways and means of enhancing
their interests. AS such men on such
a mission they deserve the best that
Grand Forks has. Let the keys of
the city be turned over to them and
the banquet board be large and
abundantly supplied.
The druggist is one of the profess
sions that has come from the mys-
tic past. Centuries ago in the caves
and homes Of its devotees, alchemy
hourished, while the alchemist sought
for the elixir Of life and the means
Of turning the baser metals into gold.
They failed in both but in the con-
stsnt efforts to bring forth these re-
suits, many of the elements now
found on the druggists shelves were
found. True only the crude elements
were determined but the development
came with succeeding generations.
That ancients knew many of the
potions that are now found in the
Pharmacopoeia, is a we'll known fact
Whether they were made available
for use by the human family is doubt
full Some peculiar sources were
drawn upon for potions-almost riv-
aling those of the present day. The
entrails of animals, the secretions OF
toads and snakes were among the
drugs Of our ancestors.
The secretive abodes of the al
chemists and the secrets and mystery
with which they surrounded them.
selves caused them to be looked up.
on as servants of the Evil One and
their work was known as the black
art.
From this crude foundation has
come the scientific educated anc
practical chemists and druggists who
are with US today They fill place
in the great plan Of modern civiliza
ton that without them would be va.
cant. They serve man in his extrem.
ity and lend their knowledge to thu
relief Of pain and suffering. Genia
and pleasant they are yet serious anc
earnest. They dare not make al mis-.
take. else life must be the penalty
Such are the men who are the city's
guests today.

Lleutenants

Lleutenants
Washington, Aug. 28.-"High
school graduates and college men,
American citizens, between the ages
Of twenty-one and twenty-seyen, of
good character, with references, are
wanted to fill appointments as second
lieutenants In the army; salary, from
$500 to $4,000 annually to begin; op-
portunity for good men to be leading
figures in the next war that may oc-
cur, and to be the generals Of the fu-
ture. Address Chief of STAFF, U. 8. A.,
War Department, Washington, D. c."
General Wood strongly desires to
obtain capable young men for officers
In the army. There are about TIA va
cancies from June 80 last, and 30 far
there have been less than two hun
dred applicants, with but f60uuf these
designated to take the examination to
be conducted September 5Fs The en-.
trance list will close on September /,
so prospective candidates have but
one week In which to obtain the desig
nations for the examination. General
Wood has been surprised by the large
percentage of the young men applying
who indicate their qualifications to
take the examinations. Most OF those
who are not designated have been
unable to give satisfactory references
as to their character and education.
This Is the first examination held
In the military service to which every
American citizen between the ages of
twenty-one and twenty-seven Ia avail
able for designation without any pol
itical assistance, provided he has a
good common school or college edu-
cation. But II will not matter wheth-
er the candidate ever attended any
school, so long as he indicates suf-
fcient education to cope with the ex-
animation. For the first time In the
history Of the War Department civil
ians will have opportunity to gain ap-
pointment to the Engineer Corps OF
the army, which has always been
made of the cream OF the West Point
graduates. A number OF vacancies
now exist In that branch Of the SER
vice as a result of the new personnel
legislation obtained from Congress
last winter. Candidates may have
their choice of examinations for the
Engineer Corps or the Coast Artil-
lery, both of which require some tech
meal education. or for the mobile ar
my, the cavalry, field artillery and in.
fantry
The examinations will be conducted
at a number Of the larger and more
central military posts throughout the
country including Fort Monroe, Fort
Howard. Fort Myer and Washington
Barracks in Washington. While there
are several candidates from Maryland,
General Wood would readily designate
a large number more from that state;
