COSTS MORE TO
CURE GRIP ON
WARS ACCOUNT
Cost of Many Prescriptions
Doubled by Pharmacists
of City

Increases in the prices of drugs
have caused u general rise in the cost
of many prescriptions filed by drug
sists in the city. In some instances
the prices of prescriptions have
doubled.
Pharmacists in explaining the
situation to-day said that some of the
drugs used in medicines have in
creased from 100 to 1000 per cent
owing TO the war and the big demand
for them in foreign countries. Disin-
fectants, bromides for nervous dis
orders and the old cold cure. quinine,
are included in the list of goods ad-
vanced in price.
Moth balls, still widely used in the
Springtime when the winter clothes
are buried in big chests, now retail
for 20 cents pound in the city. Be
fore the war any amount of them
could be bought for five cents a
pound. Lanolin used in many oint-
ments, and facial massage creams for
milady, has advanced about 500 per

CUSSING MUST
BE STOPPED BY
POLICE--MEALS
If the Cops Must Swear, Let
'em Do 1t in Private,
Says Mayor
% STUDY CITY LAWS
Possible That Meals Will
Establish School For
Patrolmen

Swearing while on duty will mean
punishment for attaches of the police
department.
II expect every employe under me
to be perfect gentleman" said
Mayor e. S. Meals to-day. Asked if
any special set of rules would be pro-
vided for employees of his depart
ment, the mayor said:
There will be some organization
after January Is. Just as soon as 1
have the new force working. every
man will be told his duty. You can't
be a gentleman and swear in public.
OF course ! realize that there are
times when a man MUST swear He
can do it quietly"
Another thing that will be required
of patrolmen, will be thorough
knowledge of city ordinances. Mayor
Meals said his patroImen must know
the laws. You can't enforce ordi-
nances If you are not acquainted with
the provisions of the city laws" he
remarked. Mayor Meals has not de-
cided whether there will be a school
established for the patrolmen. He is
OF the opinion that 1t would be a good
thing to have someone instruct the
officers on important ordinances.

NEGOTIATIONS IN
LUSITANIA CASE
NEARING CLOSE
Count Won Bernstorff and Sec
retary Lansing Hold Conf
dental Meeting
BY Associated Press

Washington, Jan. 10. - Count Won
Bernstorff, the German ambassador
and Secretary Lansing. had another
conference on the Lusitania negotia-
tions to-day which both agreed should
be described as confidential.
The ambassador expects to confer
with the Secretary again inside of a
week and not again on the subject.
That fact is taken by those conversant
with the status of the case to mean
that Germany and the United States
have approached a point in the nego-
tions where only one more exchange
between Washington and Berlin will
be necessary before the long contro-
Versy is ended.
1t was stated authoritatively to-day
that the next step of the United States
Will be to ask all of the allies of Ger
many to agree that no vessels carrying
Americans be attacked until passen-
gers and crew have been placed in
safety.
