MAY RULE TO-DAY ON
IMPORTANT POINT

There is great solicitude on the part
of the great body of druggists in Rich
mond and throughout the state as to
whether or not they shall take out a
license to use ardent spirits under the
Mapp prohibition law. About 90 per
cent OF the druggists in the State are
averse to selling ardent spirits even
under n license such as it prescribed
in the Mapp law But IL Is essential to
druggists business that he have some
alcohol in stock for pharmaceutical
purposes. These druggists hoped that
the Mapp prohibition law would per-
nit them. without any license what
ever. to buy and store the alcohol
necessary for these purposes but a
question has arisen on this point
There 10 no official ruling on this point
by Commissioner Peters, but-he- sex
poets to be able to make statement
today covering the question. and stated
that he hoped the druggists would not
have to take out a license.
Mr. Peters stated. however. that II
the druggists were not required to take
out the license. this would not exempt
them from making affidavit when
making their purchases from the
wholesaler. He also said that all drug
gists not licensed would be required
to keep an inventory OF their stock of
ardent spirits.
No druggists not holding license
can sell alcohol for medicinal. scien-
ti1c or mechanical purposes, accord
ing to Commissioner Peters. the law
providing that no ardent spirits what
ever can be sold to anyone for any
use WITHOUT license. Mr. Peters
stated. In answer to the question, that
no druggist in the exempted territory,
covering Richmond. Norfolk and other
cities and counties of the State could
sell whiskey and brandy. but II licensed
they could sell pure alcohol for medi-
cinal purposes and for scientific. me-
chanical and pharmaceutical purposes

The Common Hen.

When you come right down to nat
ural history facts there is no beast or
bird about which boy or girl knows
more than about the common barnyard
hen, which is a very industrious indi-
vidual. But there may be some boys
and girls who do not know that the
hen and her male companion, the roost-
er, came originally from Asia. In
the jungles of India they used to roam
wild and were great fighters. When
a couple of them engaged in battle the
one that was victorious would shout It
out with loud Growing.
There is also a negro variety that
has not only black feathers, but a
black skin.
You no doubt have seen the Cochins
that came originally from China, and
you may have heard or read that the
Greeks and Romans and the Egyptians
thought great deal of the hen.

In order to keep lettuce fresh for an
indefinite time put the head in a glass
containing water and place it in the
icebox or some other cool, dark place.
The roots will absorb the water, which
should be changed daily, and keep the
lettuce fresh and crisp.
If you would save your hands from
unsightly vegetable stains always peel
or scrape potatoes, turnips, ETC., under

When your grocer sends you hard

Don't Rush Through Life.

How many women are there who
rush through their days and their eve
ming engagements without a moments
relaxation? A bath before dressing for
the evening is substituted for the rest
which the body needs. If pallor of the
face offends the ever handy cosmetic is
drawn upon and the bloom of youth
applied. But no artificial coloring ever
hid successfully for any length of time
baggy eyes, sunken cheeks and other
marks which worn cut nerves register
upon the face.
The surest way for woman to main
tain her attractive appearance-to be
"easy to look at" as one Of our famous
humOrists said-is to keep the body up
to its highest standard Of efficiency. If
this be done rosy cheeks, a clear com
plexion, sparkling eyes, a sweet breath,
grace Of carriage, will follow as surely
as sunrise follows the night.
