WHERE DRUGGISTS FLOURISH.
How the Business Is Run In the South
American Republics.

Latin Americans are great believers
in medicines and. due to the scarcity
of physicians. are obliged to doctor"
themselves. Pharmacy is consequent
ly profitable. With the exception of
modern Europe, Canada and the Unit
I'd States pharmacy is practiced in
Ither lands of the world much as it
was in the United States sevcnty-five
or q hundred years ago, and this is
the south of us.
The individual druggist makes his
Own pills, extracts, tincturcs, infusions
and pulveriZcs his own crude drugs.
Soda water fountains are few. The
usual rubber goods, toilet articles,
dries are carried.
Each druggist makes a line of his
WI spccialtics which he pushes. In
addition to the standard drugs and
medicines. he also carries remedies
and indictments known only in his
immediate vicinity. They arc mostly
of Indian origin, compounded from
roots. herbs or other ingredients, pro-
duced only in the country where he
lives. These find a ready sale among
all classes.
SuperStitious ideas are prevalent.
and these are frequently taken advan-
tage of by the INSCRIPTIONS. One phar-
macist made a fortune selling Indians,
half castles. and whites, for that mat
ter, too. pink love powders and
white love powders.' The white love
powder was %pulveriZed sugar, while
the pink love powder was made of the
same material colored. Indians would
walk hundreds of miles to buy this
precious powder.-Leslie's Weekly.

The Marqin of Leisure.

A broad margin Of leisure is as beau
tiful in a mans life as in a book.
Haste makes waste no less in life than
in housekeeping. Keep the time, OBJ
serve the hours Of the universe, not Of
the cars. What are threescore years
and ten hurriedly and coarsely lived to
moments of divine leisure in which
your life is c%oincident with the life Of
the universe? We live too fast and
coarsely, just as we eat too fast and
do not know the true SAVIOR Of our food.
We consult our will and understanding
and the expectation of men, not Il
genius.-Thoreau.

inducements to Matrimony.

There prevails in some parts Of Brit
certain fete days the m~arriageable
girls appear in red petticoats, with
white or yellow borders around them.
The number of borders denotes the
portion the father is willing to give his
daughter. Each white band denotes
100 francs per annum; each yellow
band represents 1000 francs a year.

Volcano Made BY Man.

At Brule, France, is the most re-
markable volcano made by man. Orig
inally it was a mass Of coal, millions
of tons. One day about a century ago
the coal caught fire, and it has never
ceased burning. The summit Of the
smoldering mass has a genuine crater.

OUR PUBLIC FORUM
VIM. H. Taft
ON PROHIBITION.

Ex-President VIM. H. Taft. in giving his views on
prohibition, said in part:
Ours is a government by law; not by rule of thumb,
but by rules of conduct which have equal application to
all. Any exception to the equal operations Of the law
upon individuals is necessarily most injurious to the
future operation of that law for the public good, because
one exemption from it's operation is certain to lead to
others. The public detriment arising from violations OF
law, followed by immunity from prosecution or punish:
nlent, can hardly be overstated. 1t is, of course, the duty
of the legislator in the enactment of laws to consider the
ease Or difficulty with which by raasnn of nonuIar fael

WAR HEROINES
Many Women Decorated for Bravery
While Fighting With Men.

Seldom in the worlds history does
one find instances of women being
decorated for valor on the battlefield,
for the simple reason that opportun-
fly for deeds which would earn for
them the Victoria Cross are very few.
Nevertheless, instances can be found,
and nowhere more than in France,
where the heroic woman has little
to complain of as regards public rec
ognition of her services.
Since Napoleon founded the Cross
of the Legion of Honor on May ID,
1902, probably score or more women
have been decorated for personal
bravery in warfare, but unfortunately
only one or two of their names have
been preserved, as the Palace OF the
Legion dHonneur was burned down
during the Commune and all the rec
ords destroyed.
Napoleon himself decorated at least
seven women for valor. The chief
of these was Anne Biget (Soeur Mar
the) who was a sister of mercy, and
earned the cross of the Legion OF
Honor for her devotion to the sick
and wounded, in the care of whom she
risked her life constantly.
The other women on whom Napo-
leon bestowed the cross were disci-
pies of Joan of Arc, who shared the
perils and hardships of their menfolk,
enlisting and fighting gallantly.
Another woman earned the decora-
tion for valor when France was fight
ing Germany in 1870. Mile. Dodu,
a postmistress at Pithviers. village
which had fallen into the hands Of the
invaders, destroyed a message which
she had been ordered to transmit.
For this she was court-martialed by
the Germans and condemned to death.
On the arrival OF Prince Frederick,
however, she was released, the prince
himself complimenting her on her su-
perb courage.

GETTING DOWN
TOBUS|NESSAT
COURT HOUSE
NOW THAT THE ELECTION is a
THING OF THE PAST ALL CAN
DlDATES AND OFFICIALS ARE
GETTING DOWN TO WORK.

Affairs about the county court
house have resumed their normal ac-
tiyity now that the election is thing
of the past, and all those present in
cumbents who are candidates for re
election have forgotten in measure
the strenuous times incident to the
campaign.
OF course there are a few sore
spots among the court house contin-
gent. some who were candidates for
re election failed to land, but they
are resigned to the will of the voters
and will devote the remainder OF
their time in office paving the way
for their successors.
There is some whisper that the re-
publican party of this county will
make a vigorous campaign to defeat
some of the regular nominees of the
democratic party, there is another
faction calling themselves "indepen-
dents" who have eyes on certain jobs
now held by democrats that they be-
lieye they can oust from office, but
in view of the fact that Carter county
| has always been Overwhelmingly
democratic the combined efforts OF
the republicans, socialist and inde-
pendents will cut but little figure in
the general election and there is not
| the shadow of doubt but what every
one of the regular nominees of the
democratic primary will be elected in
November
1t will not be long after the gen
eral election before the people of the
city will be called upon to make their
choice of candidates for city officials
who will be elected in April.
An entire ticket Will have to be
named, and while it is understood
that most of the present incum-
bents will be candidates for re-elec-
ton, it is equally as certain that they
will all have opposition and the race
promises to be a speedy affair.
l There are not less than four avow-
ed candidates in the field at this time
for the mayors JOB, with the
chances good that several Others
will have their lids in the ring before
the time for the primary rolls around
For commissioners the present board
will have at least one opponent each,
that is those commissioners on the
present board who have not their
eye on the mayors Job, and this
number too may be added to in each
ward before election day.
The citizens are going to see a
spirited sprint for the office of chief
of police as several men already on
the force are going to make the race
while it is practically certain that the
assistant chief at present will be the
most dangerous contender to the as
pirations of the other tentative can
didates. Altogether politics will con
tinue to enliven affairs in the city for
several weeks to come.
