and all of them together will not have
night trade enough to keep one clerk

The organized retail druggists are
actively working to secure the passage

drugs. In Kentucky, where there is an
anti-cocaine law. no restriction has been
placed on the sale of opium, and this
year, under the direction of a druggist

In this connection several local organize

the passage of a law prohibiting newspa-

and the quantity constituting fatal

since the publication of these particulars
has tendency to promote such crimes.

With the large competition from the

localities, the sale of drugs is really only
a minor feature in the average drug store

ally these side lines are we'll calculated

toilet articles, fine stationery and surgical
supplies are naturally expected. A drug
gist in a western town conceived the idea
of adding hosiery a side line with good
result. He did it first by providing wooden

finally added a full line of all kinds for

pharmaceutical examining board has
adopted the rue that applicants for the
license of assistant pharmacists matrlc-
ulating after July, 1912. must have GER

by the bureau of education. In Missouri
a similar requirement is made.
The state of Washington has gone still
farther. The board of pharmacy of that
state has declared that after July l, 1913,
all applicants for registered pharmacists
must have completed one year of work
in a college of pharmacy recognized by
the board, and after July. 1914. this re-
quirement will be advanced to full grad

There are a number of important mat

bodies. The elevation of the standards
of the profession is a matter winch ooth

up the problem of the hours for drug

In New York the pharmacy council of
the board of regents has passed reSo-

doctor of pharmacy be conferred only
after the completion of three years resi-

of the degree bachelor of pharmacy. This
decision. if it can be carried through,
