The modern drug store to-day Is Q
veritable department store. Did that ever
occur to you?
Years and years ago the druggist con-
fined himself strictly to the preparation
OF prescriptions and the sale of simple
medicines. The apothecary shops of
those ancient days bore a much different
aspect from those Of the twentieth CEN
fury. Times have changed, and the
druggist and his business have by no
means remained stationary.
The first step toward the expansion of
trade of the drug store was the appear
ance of patent medicines. Suddenly
these preparations came before the pub
lie and grew so in popularity that the
druggist realized he would either have
to sell these patent medicines or lose
some OF his patrons. And SO he stocked
his store with the patent preparations
and his business increased.
This was the beginning of the rapid
development Of the drug store. The name
"apothecary shop" disappeared. Little
by little the druggist added to his stock.
until now almost anything under the
sun but a tailored suit or turkish bath
may be purchased at his store.
The modern drug store is primarily an
establishment for the sale of medicines,
but II has so many other functions that
the public is gradually forgetting this
fact Every drug store now is a postal
substation. even though it does not bear
The Washington herald. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1906-1939, 1912-09-08

that name. Many of the pharmacies are
officially designated to conduct the busi-
ness of a post-office substation. and the
others have just about as much to do.
There is not druggist, whether he OPP
crates a substation or not. who does not
sell stamps and postal cards. The aver
age person firmly believes that the drug
gist is making a profit on the sale. and
that by purchasing the articles of him a
favor is being done the pharmacist. The
fact OF the matter is that the druggist
doesn't make a cent.
In addition to being a post-office. the
and in many cases a telegraph Office.
When persons who have not telephone
facilities at home desire to use the serv-
ice the first place which enters their head
is the drug store. Calling persons to the
telephone is one OF the principal duties
of some kind-hearted druggist.
The druggists establishment has like.
wise become an fee cream parlor and a
soft-drink dispensary. Whenever a friend
says, Let's get A soda the first
thought which enters ones head is
where is the nearest drug store?"
The drug store has also become a mag
azine and newspaper stand. Many OF
the pharmacists sell the daily papers
and nearly. all of them have the leading
weekly and monthly publications for
sale. The druggist of to-day is also a
confectioner, and he offers to the public
the best grades of candies OF all sorts
The pharmacist is likewise stationer
The Washington herald. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1906-1939, 1912-09-08

and he has on sale various grades of
writing paper envelopes, pens, pencils
and erasers.
The druggist is the man TO see about
the new safety razor or about the pur-
chase OF a knife. II you want a pair
of crutches. he can furnish you with
them. II you need hair brush or a
comb, or a cake of soap, or a stick of
chewing gum, go to the druggist
As a cigar dealer the druggist leads all
competitors. Every pharmacy is a cigar
store. and the public recognizes the fact.
Large sales of cigars, cigarettes and to-
bacco are made daily by the druggists.
In short the modern pharmacy is a COM
plete department store. II is also a bu-
reau OF information. II a person wants
to know something the chances are he
will go to his druggist TO find out. The
drug store is the home of the city d.
rectory, and more persons daily peep be-
tween the red backs of this ponderous
volume gratis than step up to the coun-
ter to purchase a bottle of medicine.
Have mercy on your druggist! II he
becomes irritated. smile and turn away.
Remember that the poor man is worked
nearly to death. He is an apothecary,
a cigar dealer, a confectioner a station
er, an ice-cream parlor proprietor, a post
master, a telephone employee. news
dealer. a magazine merchant. a laundry
agent, a newspaper want ad agent, an
express agent, a gas Office substation
agent. and a thousand and one other
things.

Rebels Brutality
Stirs Officials

Terrible reports Of brutality, brigand-
age, famine, sickness, and death have
been brought to the attention of the
State Department from Nicaragua. These
reports are just beginning to get through
from noncombatants who have fed from
the country and reached cable stations
not controlled by the Nicaraguan gov
ernment's censorship. The United States
government has referred these dispatches
to the Red Cross Society, which, while
it has sent 5000 into Granada, Mica
ragua, alone. will send more as soon
as conditions are fully known.
At Granada the victorious rebel troops
have confiscated all food supplies, and
allow noncombatants to die of hunger or
of their injuries at the hands of brutal
rebels in the streets. Railroad and tele-
graph communication between the ports
and Granada is cut or. but will be re-
stored within a week by the marines
under Col. Pendleton.

Ban johnson, the boss of the American
League. and Interpreter of its rules,
has at last explained his line of rea-
soning in charging Mondays defeat to
Walter Johnson instead of to Tom
Hughes.
while he did not allow the two men,
who scored and thereby assured st.
Louis its victory, to become base rum
ners at his expense, Johnson was,
nevertheless, responsible for the fact
that they did score" says the archon
of the league.
He allowed hit and was guilty of
a wild pitch. He had chance to win
the game by saving it. He failed.
Therefore, he is entitled to shoulder the
blame. / have announced officially that
with his sixteenth straight triumph.
II believe in pitchers earning their
records Naturally, I would like to see
Johnson or any other pitcher In my
league honor it with a record, but he
must earn 1t If he does. l will stand
for no subterfuge."
What He Says Goes.
The painful thing about Ban john
sons decision is that what he says goes.
johnson must rest with his sixteen
straight games, even though Hughes Is
RESPONSIBLE uCiCoe III thN
minds of all fair-minded fans. He rules
contrary to precedent of wears In the
National League. the parent BODY OF
the national game.
John A. Heydler, Of this city, sec
retary of the National League and a
recognized authority on the interpreta-
ton of baseball rules, says that 1t has
been an inVariable rule to charge sucn
a defeat to the retiring pitcher. When
1t comes to an issue between Heyqler
xmeriesn Xl iesn league league. II They 6eeVe that
Heydler knows more about the matter
than does Johnson.
my ruling in such cases has always
day. II have always neld that If a
first pitcher leaves the game with a
man on base one or more ana score
is made by the men of the second
pitcher 1t is charged against the first.
THAT is my rule and always will be.
/ don't know of any exact precedent.
II President Johnson says the record
is broken it is broken. He is the one
to decide in his league"
1t Matters Little.
However, it matters little what Heyd-
ler thinks, even though he be fortified
with hoary traditions running back to
the infancy of baseball. The question
must be determined by Ban Johnson,
president and secretary of the AmerS
can League. He has settled 1t. He
says that johnson should have won the
game, even though entering with a
handicap,
Walter Johnson, who stood an excel
lent chance of bettering Rube Mar
guards mark of nineteen straight vic
tories, smiles and says nothing regard
ing the decision of Ban Johnson. Wal
ter does not work for records particu-
larly. He cares little whether or not
he wins twenty in a row so long as he
wins the twenty. That suits him. He
refuses to discuss the decision, saying
It has little interest for him.
