Druggists Are Planning to Close Sun.
day Afternoons.

Topeka drug stores will be closed
on Sunday afternoons from 1 o'clock
to if the crusade started by six of
the leading downtown drug stores
be successful.
THE longest hours of any business
in the city"-"My wife says she
doesn't know me she sees so little of
me"-"Never more than SIS worth of
business or a Sunday afternoon
These are a few of the pathetic pleas
being offered by the druggists who are
back of the movement
This afternoon the crusade will
start and down town druggists will
visit all the forty-seven drug stores in
the city in an effort to secure a CITY,
wide agreement IN regard to Sunday
afternoon closing.
1--WE are following up the movement
of the retail clerks" j. E. MacFariand
of the Tully MacFarland drug store
said today. The druggists ought to
reach as good cooperation as the gro
GERS have, in regard to Sunday after
noon closing. There need be no in
convenience to the public. Most of
the business that we have Sunday aft
ernoons could have been done earlier
in the day.
IN the case of prescriptions which
must be filled, the customer can call
the druggist at his home as he would
the doctor. And he will receive as
prompt attention"

This is the innovation of novelty
year, the greatest of ALI seasons. More
railroad cars are required to transport
the show, bigger tents are raised, more
area is needed to accommodate the
show than ever before. LII fact, the
