Des Moines, Aug. 11.-Members Of
the state board Of parole have returned
from their trip to Fort Madison and
Anamosa, where about thirty prisoners
to whom parole had been granted were
released. These are all cases which
have been passed upon after a thoro
investigation, and some Of them have
been held until satisfactory employ
ment could be found for them. The
board has found places for all Of these
persons Many Of them are on farms
while others are IN shops or factories.
The board expects to keep the clos
est supervision over these men. The
two parole agents will be kept out most
OF the time looking after these recently
paroled persons. The first few weeks
after parole are the most discourag1ng,
the board has found. as 1t is hard for
the men to become adjusted to the new
conditions In findings places for the
men the board IS careful not to return
tfrem to their old neighborl1oods where
they would be subject to the same In
huences that caused their trouble in
the first place.
Tho board Is in session at the state
house today going over its rules and
regulations and may make some minor
changes in these.

The state pharmacy commission Is
receiving many inquiries from drug
gists turnout the state as to whether
or not the Iowa law with reference, to
druggists securing permits to sell
brandy or whisky as medicine has
been changed. The commission in
forms them that there have been no
changes In the law with reference to
druggists liquor permits. The Iowa
druggist can sell liquor under a permit
for medical or pharmaceutical purposes
only.
TIE fact that the national phaxma-
copoeia committee has dropped both
wahiskey and brandy from it's list and
does not recognize them either as
drugs or medicine has given rise to
the question as to a druggists rights
in this state The state pharmacy
commission states that the position Of
the national committee does not have
any legal bearing on the sale Of whis-
ky or brandy by druggists in this
state. This is governed altogether by
the state law which has not been
changed.
Senator A. c. Wilson, Of oelwein.
member of the state pharmacy board.
has been attending the national con-
vention of the state boards of phar-
macy which has been in session at San
Francisco. He is expected home in a
short time.
