London. August 2S.--The Paris dis.
patch has not been confirmed in any
other European capital. The latest
Bucharest dispatches which we're heav-
lily censored say the crown council will
meet today Continued preparations
for war are being reported. Italy's
declaration Of war against Germany
yesterday may influence the Rouman-
ian's action. It is generally Under
stood that Roumania had planned to
enter with Italy in May, 1915, but tho
severe defeat Of the Russians at that
time made it seem certain that such
declaration would be followed by the
invasion Of Roumania, by the Austro.
Germans.
Roumania's entrance makes fifteen
nations engaged in the war. It places
thoroughly drilled and equipped ar
my Of 100000 men on the side OF the
allies. Roumanias chief object in en-
tering the war at this time is the hops

THE CONJUNCTION OF DRUGS
The state pharmaceutical association
has issued q statement lin regard to the
sale. of drugs, in which it states that
not more than. twenty or thirty per
cent of all drugs and medicines con-
sumed are sold by pharmacists. The
state law requires pharmacists to be
specially trained to qualify to sell
drugs and they maintain therefore
that the sale Of drugs should be in
their hands. They attack especially
the peddlers, whose proposition, they
say is purely commercial one.

taking medicine whether they need it
