DIR. KEEGAN,s APPOINTMENT.

The appointment of DR.. NJ r.
Keegan to a position on the state
board Of pharmacy is a distinct COM
pliment. Gov. Ralston appears to
have drawn a lesson from the attempt
OF the old board to make an increased
draft upon the state through the sEe-
cific appropriations act, passed by the
legislature, and the decision was to
introduce some new blood that would
tend to neutralize a congested situa-
ton. The purpose of the board is to
keep the drug business within such
bounds as will conserve it's service to
the public without harmful effects. and
yet, at the same time, impartially con-
serve the business.
The drug ring in Indiana has been
an assured fact for some little time
The board of pharmacy has coexten-
sively stood at the center of that ring
Around it the drug business of the
state has tangoed. waltzed, two-step-
ped, but until now. seldom hesitated
With the appointment of Jerome J.
Keene, of Indianapolis, to an inspec-
torship under the federal anti-narcCtic
law, an opportunity was opened for a
break into this ring, and the governor
has grasped the opportunity. DR..
Keegan will stand for a fair deal for
all the druggists of the state. but for
none at the exclusion of others.
The doctor is well-known in South
Bend through his association with the
American Drug store for the past year,
and previously as a physician. That
he is qualified for the position to
which he is appointed there is not a
shadow of doubt. Congratulations
are due TO the doctor and also to the
state OF Indiana.

others that it was not heavy enough.

think the politicians Of Indiana will be

THE RABBIT AND THE FOX.
In Two Reels.

REEL L
A Rabbit walked upon the land,
The day was bright and fair;
When'ere he stepped upon the sand.
He left footprint there.
And as he stood in thoughtful poise
(His shadow stood there, toO),
He heard a silent treading noise,
And he saw a Fox he knew
Approaching with q hungry smile
The Rabbit counted "one,"
And I said I'll race you half a mile
And show you how to run"
They ran, the Rabbit in the lead
The Fox ran swift behind.
The Fox then said, You've got the
speed"
The Rabbit said. you're kind
Then after they had run awhile
The Fox said "You are best
But we have run a half a mile,
So let us stop and rest.
For I would speak to you again
AS I have spoke before,
So come with me back to my den
And stay for evermore."
The Rabbit went to. and there stayed,
The den among the rocks;
Nor left again because he made
A dinner for the Fox.
