Extra Good Beef;
Sunday Closing.

Happening in at Joe Collins livery
stable yesterday, we were shown two OF
the best beef cattle, one yearling, the
other two years old, that we have ever
seen; fat and in splendid condili
more ready for The show ring than the
Slaughter pen. However, Mr.. NJ. Nj.
Hamilton will butcher them tomorrow,
so if you want an extra tender steak for
breakfast or good roast for dinner, tel
ephone to Gil. Mr.. Hamilton also tells
us he has bought and will butcher from
week to week ~ head of young steers
and 10 young heifers-the best this coun-
ty produces. He expects to give his Gus
toners the best beef ever offered in this
market. and wants every family in the
city to give him trial order.
Mr. Hamilton wishes the public to
know that in obedience 10 the interpre-
tation by those in authority of the Sun
day closing law, he viii close his butch
err shop, beginning next Sunday, at 10
o'clock m. He requests that all or
ders be sent in the evening before, so
that he may get them out in good shape
Sunday morning by 10 o'clock. This
would be good idea, too, to follow ev-
cry day in the week. Telephone your
orders in the afternoon or evening before.

DOCTOR AND DRUGGIST.

A bill has been introduced in the Leg
isla'ure the purpose-of which is to allow
physicians to become registered phar
macists without examination. We fail
TO understand upon what grounds the
author of the bill can reasonably ask its
passage: If the doctor is allowed 10 be
come without examination a registered
pharmacist, why not give the pharma-
would not do The pharmacist does not
want il. He knows he is not entitled To
it. So, too, does the intelligent physi-
clan know that he is not qualified to
practice pharmacy. We cannot believe
that those legislators who favor the bill
understand the situation. A legislator.
all subjects, and we believe our law
makers who favor the bill are lacking
in information, well meaning. but mis-
informed. 1t is true that along certain
lines and to certain extent the quallfi-
cations are the same for the doctor and
the druggist but after certain point is
reached the physician purSues some lines
OF study that the druggist knows moth
ing about. The converse of this is also
true. The druggist is qualified in some
branches of which the physician is en-
tirely ignorant. The physician must un-
derstand diagnosis of diseases and the
medicinal action of drugs. He is not
the art of compromising, nor the reac-
tion of one chemical upon another. This
is the business of the pharmacist and in
telligent physicians everywhere so rec
ognize it. Speaking as a pharmacist OF
many years experience, we do not hest
tate to say we have never seen more
than doctor behind prescription case
1.-THE bull in the china shop" pales into
insignificance as compared TO it,
A large majority of intelligent phys-
clans would not want this bill 10 become
law. 1t would be step backward in
stead of a step forward in the progress
of pharmacy. The writer is a druggist
of many years experience, now in an
other business. and will probably never
again engage in selling drugs. HIS
only interest in this proposed bill il
the welfare of the whole medical pro
fession, the protection OF the registered
pharmacist and 1.-The good of the order {"
There is much more we could say on
the subject. We have barely touched
upon it, We think it not necessary to
go deeper, believing as we do that the
good sense and cain judgment of our
law makers will cause them to reject the
hill
