A MEDITATION.
BY r. MARIAN

We often think of that which we
would do if we had life to live over
again. All, but in what life are there
not might have beens1' 1t is impos.
sible to enumerate them. We might as
we'll attempt to count the lain drops OF
the snow flakes as they fall, or weigh
the sea foam as to waste time and
energy inrecalling the past "'The mill
will never grind with the water that is
past"
An other wise happy life may be
blighted by a very small mistake, I'M
consciously made. How necessary fl
is that we Re careful in all we say
or do. An i'll word once uttered can
never be recalled, while "a word ftly
spoken is like apples of gold in pictures
of silver"
We should give up our selfish desires,
and attain daily to a higher moral
plane of living.
We should not expect a perfect and
continued prosperity and happiness OIL
earth. While we remain ia the flesh
there will be room for moral and
spiritual improvement, daily, how soon
much of the sorrow and pain of life
would be unknown.
The Bible is our mirror. Follow

DRUG STORES, as well as other stores, exist for the
public good. This fact is not always recognized by
those who conduct stores, and hence public interests are
made secondary to private interests. But the truth re-
mains that no store fully meets its obligations unless the
security OF the public is placed first, and this is especial
ly true of drug stores. :
There is no doubt that when you have any item of
drugs to buy, or a prescription to be filled, that you
always want the best possible goods and service.
