Caught by Fraud.

People who do not stop to wonder who
is to pay for the advertisement and the
return postage and writing of the pre-
scription are caught by this fraud and
ask for the prescription. In due course
a regular prescription is returned. This
contains a number of ordinary ingredi-
ents and then under a technical name
will call for large proportion of some
patent medicine proprietary drug.
The recipient takes this to drug store
to be filled and the druggiest finds that
he has to buy some of this patent prepa
ration in order to fill 1t. He therefore
has to order a large package or bottle
of it and to make profit must charge
the customer good. stiff price for filing
the prescription.
The customer. of course. gets what is in
effect simply a patent medicine which,
save that it bears a druggists label and
a prescription number. is the same as
patent medicine sold under the makers
own label and in the makers own bottle
The government cannot reach these
people under either the food and drugs
act or the postal laws, because the
scheme is SO planned as to evade govern
ment laws. The deception and misrepre-
sentation appear in advertisements, cir
culars. letters. etc. separate from the
package and the medicines are seldom
sent through the mails

Sending Hubby
Shopping?

That dear old joke about wifey
sending hubby on shopping expe-
dition is losing it's point.
In these modern days hubby"
finds it no trouble TO get what
Wifey wants.
He uses the advertising in live
daily papers like The Star for his
guide and goes to the right spot
without loss of time. Perhaps he
merely telephones and the store
sends it.
Modern merchandising service has
relegated this dear old "bon mot
of our forefathers to the "Old Jokes
Home"
And advertising is one of the
most potent aims in this new serv-
ice.

Attempt at Settlement. :.

According to Glynn the four had at
tempted to come to an amicable under
standing concerning Cramer's alleged re-
lations with DR.. Elam's wife, who two
weeks ago left her husbands home in
st. Joseph, to visit her mother, Mrs.
J. NJ West, in Detroit, Mich. DR.. Elan,
after returning to the lobby and an
nouncing to his friends that he had
killed -Cramer, led hotel detectives to
the room.. In their presence he examined
the man in a professional manner and
calmly pronounced him dead.
''He lied to me and I killed him." DIR.
Elam said.
Detective GlYnn said that after. in
-estigation he had assured Elan that the
relations between Mns. Elam and Cramer
had been nothing more than "a harmless
flirtation.'
DR.. Elan is forty-eight years old Mrs.
Elam is thirty-nne. They were married
thirteen years ago.

THE SONG OF THE TRAMP

With fingers weary and worn,
With eyelids heavy and red,
A woman sat in unwomanly rags,
Plying her needle and thread.
Stitchi Stitch! Stitcnl
In poverty, hunger and dirt,
And still with voice of dolorous pitch
She sang this Song of the Shirt.
From Hoods 'Song of the Shirt.
With teeth all loosen'd and worn,
With jaws as heavy as lead,
A tramp sat, with coat all torn,
Chawin' on hunk of bread.
Chaw! Chaw! Chaw!
In agony to teeth and jaws;
In sheer despair he dropped down there,
And fell with the hunk in his paws. ;
Tis Tramp! Tramp! Tramp!
Whilst the folks are film with booze;
And Tramp! Tramp! Tramp!
Whilst others are takin' their snooze.
Tis Oh. to be in Fiji,
Or some one of the Eastern Isles,
Where cannibals would make feast
of me; sr
If this is The Land of Smiles.
Tis Tramp! Tramp! Tramp!
Till my huffs are awful sore;
And Tramp! Tramp! Tramp
Till I'm ragged, unkept and poor,
Corn bread, fioaters and beans;
Floaters, corn bread and beans.
