CHECK

We check ourselves three separate times in filling your
prescriptions. We don't have to do this but you know
man is liable to mistakes and we check ourselves three
times so we are Absolutely Sure we do not make
mistakes.
FIRST. When you hand us the prescription we
read it and get all the ingredients on the prescription
counter.
SECOND. We write the directions, this giving us
an opportunity to study the best way to compound the
prescription and note the doses.
THIRD. After the prescription is compounded we
re-check each ingredient thus checking ourselves three
individual times while filling your prescription.
This may seem a great deal of work but we Don't
Make Mistakes In Filling Prescriptions.

while happy greetings were extended
to the newly welded couple.

and remain quiet II he would leave
do you know anything about seven
up'?" the robber Unexpectedly asked.
She said she did, and little game
was proposed. The woman won. Then,
regaining her self-control, she offered
to play four games with the bandit
with the understanding that If she lost
the robber was to be permitted to ran
sack the house and carry away every
valuable which it contained. If the
woman won the robber was to leave
the house without taking anything.
The woman won the first game, the
Black Knight the second, and with
trembling fingers the little woman won
the third. The robber dealt the cards
for the fourth game and Mrs, Holmes
won again.
The robber put the gun in his pock-
et swallowed another drink, this time
as nightcap, then, raising and kissing
the hand which had extended the
glass, he called his unwilling hostess
one of the best card players he had
ever known. He added that her voice
was the cause of his loss OF a mid
night haul and that If she ever were
in trouble her sole protector need only
be a melodious bit Of speech such as
had charmed him that night.
With that the Black Knight had
passed the threshold to the porch, the
hall light went out, and little Mrs.
Holmes fell In faint on the floor.
Next morning she told the story.

ran: 81 nested at A. RS house at Wal.

robber entered the reception room as
the woman backed in and closed and
latched the door behind him.
Then, keeping his unwelcome host

he calmly removed his coat and got
out a bag with which he intended to
carry off the plunder.

policeman who was new to his Job.
With one single little finger he could
hold up an entire street. and he smil-
ed with conscious pride as he real
lied his greatness.
But suddenly he became aware OF a
gaze fixed curiously@upon him. The
gazer was the driver OF a mere four
wheeler. shabby, ragged fellow, who
had no right to stare at anything but
his own ill,kempt reflection. The
bobby stood his scrutiny for while.
Then he frowned and asked sharply:
