Prescription Prices Not to Be Cut.

PRESCRIPTION FT1CGS INOI 10 DC SuIs
The delivery system is Of growing i'm
portance. Some druggists now use wagon,
The motorcycle has possibilities and would
give the druggist q reputation for quick work
IN emergencies. Tact on the part Of the de-
liverer is also something that will count
When the boy with the prescription arrives
quietly and goes round to the side door to
avoid ringing the bell and takes pains not
TO DO anything to disturb the sick person
good effect is produced.
Experience has shown It does not pay new
druggist TO cut prices on prescriptions. II
cut is TO be made, it is better 10 make 1t on
come article, as a patent medicine, which has
an established price-a reduction which will
impress the purchaser. The 10 or % cents
taken from the prescription loses effect be
cause the patient does not know it. The
young druggist is often afraid TO charge
profitable prices for HIS prescription work; he
fears a comparison With the big downtown
stores and cut rates. But these latter get
good price for their prescriptions. often more
than the small man IN the suburbs. As an
illustration we may point 70 George Z. Evans
OF Philadelphia who has five large downtown
stores His prescription rate IS an advance
Of from 80 to 100 per cert in the cost Of the
time Of the dispenser.
New business is an important thing for the
druggist. whether established or beginner.
A store cannot be run on established Gus
TONERS. The mar who thinks he Is perma-
nently on the road TO success because he
has large line of steady customers may fnd
out his mistake by doing little census work
Take say, hundred Of these and make
list OF their names. At the end Of a year
check over the list. Deaths, removals. and
other causes Will have done away with at
least 10 per cent OF his customers, probably
a larger per cent In ten years he will have
few OF the original 100 left.

DOG THAT ATTENDS CHURCH
Maine Animal Evidently Has Re- Ilgious Tendencies That Are
 Rarely Found in His Breed.

And here is a dog story which comes from the Journals Skowhe- gan correspondent. The story is of fine young shepherd dog which has strong religious tendencies. He is the dog of Elmer Decker of Hinckley. Shep is persistent in his attempts to attend Sunday services.
 A late scheme of his is to get up very early Sunday morning, and call upon a neighbor who takes him to church in his carriage. On arriving Shep makes practice of walking straight up the aisle to the platform, where he takes his place in the shodow of the pulpit. There, with his nose protruding by the corner, he can see what is going on at the same time he is listening.
 The other day during the minis ter's long prayer an automobile came chugging and footing along, much to the disturbance of Shops idea of the nicety of things, He rushed through the open door with loud barking and scared the intruder away, but his manner of quieting the disturbance had reviving effect upon the audience, and our corre- spondent thinks the prayer must have been shortened.-Kennebec (Me.)

 When the t're@a-Diou walks, it proceeds with a slow and solemn gail, like a pilgrim with his staff. But il does not walk a great deal. It's ordinary attitude is that e an "cs asy of prayer, It's arm l.cd toward heaven.

 Moreover, he has wors, faults than mere hypocrisy He is cannibal, and kills and eats his own sisters and brothers.

ROCKING THE CRADLE.

Rocking the cradle is responsible for many of the aches and ills of the infantile population of Chicago, ac- cording to health department of- licials, who have begun an attempt to do away with 1t.
 The 60 field nurses employed by the department in the summer to 'sayc the babies" have reported a great increase in the practice, in many cases self-rocking cradles be- ing used.
 "The best cradle in the world is not good thing for baby to rest in," said Dr. Caroline IIeager, in charge of the field nurses. "The place for a baby to rest is in cot or bed. It should never be rocked. There is no more reason for tossing q baby about in order to rest than there is for swinging about a grown up."-Chicago Dispatch to New York World.

AUSTRALIA IN DILEMMA.

Australia has always consoled her self for her rainless spells by the be- lief that beneath the continent lies a sea of frosh water which only needs to be tapped when it is wanted. Now comes Professor Gregory, a noted ge- ologist, who has been measuring the wells and declares that there is no evidence that they are being replen- lshed and that the supply in each case IS diminishing. He sugges s that it is time to economize the wa ter, but Australia does not like the suggestion and refuses to believe him, for if he is right the schemes for retaining the great deserts of the interior must come to nothing

BEARERS OF NEWS.

An elderly man arrived at the foot ball ground carrying two large wick CT baskets.
 'TheSe 'erc pigeons are to tell the people at 'ome 'ow things are goin'," he explained. Every goal we score I'm goin' to let off a blue bird, and If the other side gets a goal a white 'un's going up. Supposin' they've scored a goal apiece at the finish, d blue 'un and a white 'un goes off to- gether, and if there ain't no score, then the birds'll lave to go 'ome with me-"
 Unfortunately, a youth with an eye to fun took advantage of the fancier's attention being centered on an exciting piece of play to liberate the whole of the birds.
 "Now you've done it, young fel- ler,' said the old man, as he gazed at the culprit. It'll cost me six pence for telegraft 'ome to stop 'em from 'aving the band out. All them pigeons goin' off together was to be a sign as low our chaps had laid out the referee. ."-Tit-Bits.

The Perfect Laxative
 For Elderly People

,,o,,tb q, mas @ us attaac.lons @ no iess tnan man But it is this very life of rest without sufficient exercise that brings with it those disorders that arise from in activity. Chief of these are a chronic, persistent constipation.
 Most elderly people are troubled in this way, with accompanying symptoms of belching, drowsiness after eating, headaches and general lassitude. Ere quently there is difficulty of digesting even light food. Much mental trouble ensues, as it is hard to find a suitable remedy. First of all the advice may be given that elderly people should not use salts, cathartic pills or powders, waters or any of the more violent purgatives What they need women as well as men, Is a mild laxative tonic, one that is pleasant to take and yet acts without griping.

ACCIDENTAL DROWNING
 0F DOUGLAS CHILD
Death Comes to Little Isabelle PixIey in a Swimming
 Hole

Isabelle Pixley. aged about 8 years. was drowned this morning at a swimming pool out near the work that is being done for the city water extension, while bathing Tn a swimming hole" with two other lit tie girls of about her own age. Dr. Adamson was called after the body had been recovered by workmen, who were called to the rescue, but the child was dead when he. arrived. The coroner was notified, but 1t being a manifest case of death from accidental drowning no jury was i'm paneled and no inquest will be held.
 Isabelle Pixley. whose parents re- side in the Calumet addition, with two other girls. yesterday morning started to bathe in a pool where it has been customary for the children of the neighborhood to go in bath ing. Ordinarily there is little water in the pool and it is perfectly safe, but recent rains and consequent overflow of streams had raised the water in this pool far beyond the ordinary level and the child, when she waded in, stepped into water that was far over her head and she sank from sight Her frightened companions screamed and ran to seek aid, finding some workmen. who rushed to the scene to rescue the child. When they had arrived she was not to be seen and 1t took some time of persistent diving and searching before the small body was brought to the surface. Usual meth ods for resuscstating the drowning were employed so far as possible, and Dr. Adamson was summoned, but medical aid was then in vain for life was extinct.

VITAL STATISTICS
 . FOR ENDED MONTH
BiSbee Was Left Without [ Case of Contagious
 Disease

The vital statistics reported by Dr. c. H. Hunt. city physician, in his re- port for the month of August, show that while twice as many males have been botn as females, four times more males than females have died, showing a smaller death rate for the females than for males. The statis- tics are as follows:
 Births 29. of which 19 were males and 10 females; deaths 10, of which 8 were males and two females. The causes of death in the 10 eases were as follows: eongenital endocartis 1: acute ileo colitis 1: ileo eolitis 1: gas tro enteritis 1: chronic alcoholism l i; mine accident 1; endocarditis, acute l; acute milia military 1; pneumo- mia 2.
 Three cases Of typhoid were report. ed in the city during the month of August. There are not contagious diseases in the city. The city phy- sician inspected the premises of six houses in the month and reported one nuisance in the subway One milk license was issued during the month.
 Regarding the premises inspected. Dr. Hunt says: ssThe-six premises were all in a most unsanitary condi- ton. The nuisance in the subway consists of a collection of stagnant water which is very little better than sewerage. thereby being a constant source of danger to the public health. ] suggest that this be abated immedi. ately by either raising the bottom of the subway at this particular point or by cutting a ditch deep enough to thoroughly drain it and keep 1t drained"
