ONLY DRUGGISTS
May SELL DRUGS
Pure Food Inspector Visits the City
and Informs Merchants
Of the Law.

Webster City dry goods and groc-
cry stores who have been in the hab-
it for many years of carrying certain
drugs have discarded all of this line
of goods and none will henceforth
be found for sale except at drug
stores. Under the law which went
into effect recently none but drug
gists may handle this line, and while
no attention was paid to it in this
city, owing to the merchants never
having had their attention called to
1t, a pure food inspector visited here
at a recent date and quietly inform
ed them that to sell such goods made
them liable to fine. Owing to the
not being aware that
they were violating the law no pros
ecutions were started, and immedi-
ately after being warned the articles
prohibited were discarded.

1t is remarked that the Sunday
school attendance is apt to increase
about Christmas time. However,
the various Sunday schools of the
city are doubtless glad to see new
scholars at any time. All are well
come at Christmas time and to re-
main during the entire year.
The 1914 state convention of the
Gideons, an organization of Chris

be held in this city, possibly in the

their work is the placing of Bibles

November Goth of this year, 210,S45
copies had been placed in the hotels

Would Paw the Town.

When the present commercial
league of Webster City was organic
ed, some four or five years ago, the
ACCESSIBILITY of paying the secretary
a salary that would enable him to
devote the greater part of his time
to the service of the city was SER
iously discussed. After due consid
Grafton the salary was placed at $25
per month, which is little better
than nothing. The town has grown
considerably since then and can now
afford to pay good salary. Some of
the live towns of the west, some no
larger than this city, pay as high
as $1,000 and $4,000 to the secre-
tary, who is selected with the
thought in mind that he can earn
the salary and much more. Give
the secretary fair remuneration and
displace the present league button
with something more appropriate
and results will be worth the price.

'STRATFORD GETS
NEXT CONVENTION
Methodists Will Meet in That Town
Next August-Exact Date
Not Yet Fixed.

Fort Dodge Messenger: At the
closing session of the district confer
ence of the Methodist church yester-
day, Stratford was chosen as the
place at which the next conference
will be held, in August, 1914. The
exact dates were not named. This
will be arranged some time next
summer by a committee.
Combined efforts will be made to
raise the membership of the Sunday
schools of this district from 1000 to
10000 by the time of the next cons
ference. One thousand of the 5000
increase will be men, if the work of
the Sunday school instructors is
fruitful.
1t has not been decided as to
where the next Sunday School Insti-
tute will be conducted This does
not always go to the place where
the conference is held. Action on
this matter will be taken up the
early part of next year.
The institute closed yesterday was
one of the largest and best ever held
in this district. Those vitality inter-
ested in the success of the meetings
declared that they were we'll pleas
ed.
Such an array of talent has never
before appeared on the program of
an institute held in this district. DR..
Edgar Blake is known throughout
the country as most modern Sun
day school worker. and one who gets
results from his work. Mrs. La
moreaux, who assisted DR.. Blake in
conducting the institute, was second
to none in ability. Her talks on the
several subjects assigned to her
showed much study and actual ex.
perience. VIM. E. Carpenter, the su.
perintendent of the Brazil, Indiana,
Sunday school also did much to
make the institute a success. His
talks were helpful and many good
ideas gained by the delegates as to
charging and lettering of a Sunday
school.
