GRANDMA SCHALLEs
PASSES AWAY

Mrs. Julia Schalles, who was af-
fectionately designated as "grandma"
by hundreds Of people in Durango and
vicinity, passed away at the family
home last night at 10 o'clock. A com.
plication of diseases incident to old
age was the cause Of her death. The
end was not expected. For many
months she had been very feeble and
for several weeks past confined to
her bed the greater part Of the time.
The deceased was SO years, 9
months and rs days old. She was
born in Saxony, Germany, but the
greater part Of her life was spent In
the land Of her adoption. For more
than thirty years Durango was her
home. She was one of the city's most
active and effective church workers.
In the days Of her youth she be-
came q member of the Methodist
church and through her long life most
beautifully exemplified the teachings
Of the denomination.
Arrangements have been made 70
hold the funeral service from the
Methodist church Wednesday morn
ing At 10 e'clocp. The service will b.
in charge Of the pastor.

The Drug Market.

Perhaps the prices of no commodi-
ties have been affected in the Unit
ed States by the European war as
much as those of drugs. Practically
three-fourths Of the drugs, including
restoratives and anaesthetics and the
rare medical herbs are imported from
Europe and the present supply is ex-
ceedingly limited Since the first Of
August drugs imported from France
have gone up SO per cent while the
wholesale merchants refuse to make
any fixed price on the German ar.
ticles. The purchaser has to pay the
price for the day the order is re-
ceived and Of course as the shortage
grows, this is increased. QUINN,
morphine, opium, salt peter, glycer-
inc, chlorate of potash and sulphur
are among the staple drugs that are
sky high in price. Citrol acid has
advanced Is cents pound, carbolic
acid four cents; not an ounce of the
latter is manufactured in the United
States. Local druggists look for a
