given. The law specifically requires
a separate written prescription for
each dispensing of the drugs under
the act, the same to be made out
according to law and to be recorded
as provided in the act.
This evasion of the law and In
such a wholesale manner, said the

TWO BILLS OF INTEREST.

The senate has passed two bills the importance of which have apparently been overlooked. and they will in all probability pass tho house in few days. One of those bills provides that when a man moves from one town months in his new place of residence he shall be entitled to vote at all state and national elections in his last place of residence just the same as if he had continued his residence there right along. When he acquires a new place of residence and has been there for six months he of course becomes entitled to vote there under the law. This act was considered desirable in order to prevent so many losing their votes. It has happened in some cases that the man who changed his resi- dence was allowed to vote in his last place because he was not registered m his new place, but as u matter of fact a man has no legal right to vote anywhere in Connecticut unless he has been six months in the town and year in the state, and when he leaves one place to live in another he loses his voting residence at once Un- der the new law he will have the right to vote at his last place of res idence until he acquires a new one. The other bill compels man to file lis property assessment with the as sessors through himself or a third party if he does not live In the town where the property is located. This is an advantage to a city because new the man who does not live in the same town as in which ms property
 is located is not compelled to file his list, but unless he does so in future ten per cent. additional will be added by the assessors as required by law. There is scarcely a town in the state in which there are not some people who will be affected by the passage of these two bills.
