Are Not Druggists
Recently there have been several
arrests in the state Of men for vio-
lations of the prohibition law and
these men have been labeled as drug
gists. Members Of the. state associa-

as an investigation has revealed the
fact that they are nothing more or

prohibition law who have put few
bottles Of drugs on the shelves, with
the vending Of liquor as their sole
and only object for so doing. The
matter will be taken up by the asso-
citation this afternoon.
