PUBLIc's DEBT TO DRUGGIST
Many People in Community Fall to
Give Him All the Credit That
Is Coming to Him.

From the nature of the problems
considered by the druggists in their
national convention it is plain that
they take their business with the Sc
riousness that its intimate relation to
practically the entire public demands.
They seem especially interested in
combating the trend of public opinion
in favor of restricting the freedom of
the druggist to handle his commodities
about as he pleases. The druggists
point of view is, of course, not that of
the public. Long association with dan
gerous drugs breeds a certain con.
gist is morally-when not legally
Obliged to protect the public against
its own folly and incompetence.
An unscrupulous druggist can be
the means of spreading almost as
much evil in a community as an un.
Scrupulous physician. And a dishon.
est physician working in league with
dishonest druggist can become pos
tive menace to the health and morals
of any community. The druggist is
called upon to observe many laws,
This state of affairs has come about,
not through any public desire to sin
gle out particular line of business
for careful regulation, but because a
certain class of druggists themselves
have in the past abused their response
bility. Thus the laws have been forced
upon the people by druggists, para
doXical as this may seem.
The average druggist is a far more
important person in the community
than he gets credit for being. His

he is not tC be blamed for trying to
educate the public to its obligations to
him. In his business competition is
strong. He works early and late, Sun
days and holidays, and still the drug
gists who grow rich are very rare. The
difference between the reward the
druggist gets and the reward the same
devotion to business would earn in
other lines is his contribution to pub
lie welfare, and this the public should
not forget.-Indianapoli News.

THE INcoNvENIENT BRIDE.

THE melancholy fate of Ellen Scan
L Ian has been the theme of many
heartrending ballads and tragic tales,
and although 1t is nearly century
since she died, her story still is told in
Irish homes. She was a beautiful girl
so beautiful as to attract much at
tention in a city noted for lovely wom-
en-. She was also clever and witty, and
had many admirers. She lived with
her uncle, a prosperous Dublin rope
maker, named Conery, and when John
Scanlan appeared upon the scene she
hadn't a care in the world.
Scanlan was native of County Lin
erick and was closely related to peo-
pie of wealth and distinction. He was
on his way home from the wars, with
his servant. Stephen Sullivan. Travel
ing in those days was an onerous busi-
ness, so the young officer was glad to
take u lay of at Dublin. While loung-
Ing about the town, to see what he
might see, he met Ellen and fell in love
with her on the spot. He was an ag-
gressive wooer. and, being handsome
and eloquent, and of higher station
than the girl, 1t didn't take him long
to win her consent to marry him. While
Ellen was making her few brief prep
matlons for the ceremony, Seaman
Went away to charter clergyman, and
that his heart was evil is shown by the
fact that he engaged an unfrocked
priest, believing that a marriage cere-
mony performed by such a man would
not be valid.

repaired to the little village of Gin,
on the banks of the River Shannon,
where they gave a demonstration of
love in n cottage, the faithful Sullivan
being in attendance. For little while
the girl was entirely happy, and her
husband professed to be, but only for
little while. One day Seaman re-
ceived letter from his sister, who was

Bavarian Colony in Greece.

In Greece there is at least one tiny
German oasis as n set-off to the kali
ser's 10000 Greek guests now being
fed in Bavaria. A few miles north of
Athens is n village with churchyard
upon whose tombstones German names
alone appear. The village has been
the home for so years of II colony Of

Otho. The villagers have the fair hair

was greatly confused. He didn't know
what it was doing there, he said. Then
she saw n large rock with a rope at
tached to it, and she wanted that ex-
planned. Sullivan was more embar-
rassed than ever. He didn't like to
explain that it was meant to sink her
no suspicion of evil. She was merely
curious. After while they reached an
inlet cut off from human view, and Sui
livan set about his task. He stood up
with the club upraised, to dash out
her brains, and she looked at him and
smiled. She thought he was fooling.
Sullivan threw the club overheard took
the oars, and rowed back home without
word.
81 couldn't do it." he explained to
Seaman, who upbraided him bitterly
to his failure; when that poor girl
smiled at me my muscles seemed
turned to water"
There was no pity in Scanlan's gal
vanized iron heart, however. He was
determined upon the girls death. His
sister was becoming impatient, and the
heiress was growing restive, and a dele
CATION might arrive any time, to see
what was holding him at Glin. A few
evenings later he and Sullivan and the
bride went for another boat ride, and
she was seen alive no more. Scanlan
told the neighbors that he had sent
his wife for sea voyage, but few peo-
pie believed his story. There was
general impression that something was
wrong, but nobody knew just what
The whole community knew though, n
week later, when the body of Ellen
Seaman was washed ashore. She had
been so mutilated that identification
was difficult. Most of her bones were
broken. Her skull was shattered, as
though beaten in with club. Her
teeth had been knocked out and her
once beautiful face was one great
bruise.
Seaman made an effort to escape but
was overtaken. His trial was the SEN
sation of the time, and he was found
guilty. He was ordered to immediate
execution, so that his powerful rela-
tives would have no time to exercise
their pull in his behalf Those rela-
tives used all their influence, but in
vain. If ever capital punishment was
justified, it was when this man ap-
peared upon the scaffold.
Sullivan escaped for the time After
selling the dead woman's clothes, and
some small articles of jewelry she had
owned, he fled and concealed himself,
but the law was looking for him, and
found him twelve months after the
crime. After being jailed and brought
to realization of the fact that his
door of hope was everlastingly closed,
he made full confession, and in due
season was operated upon by the pain
less executioner.
The story entitled "The Poor Mans
Daughter" in the once famous "Tales
of Irish Life" was one of the innumer-
able printed narratives founded upon
the atrocious murder of Ellen Scan
Ian.

PRIMA DONNA A FINE COOK |
Madame Miriam Ardlnl, a Native

Every prima donna has a tempera-

there are to this rule as to every other.
The big exception is Madame Miriam

MERELY A LITTLE MATTER
Sporting Mans Remark Something OF

duty and privilege to get busy at once.
None of the young mans relatives

had been made profound secret.
He must have been peculiarly cold
blooded individual. If he had heart
at all it was made of galvanized iron.
Even while his beautiful girl-wife Law
ished her caresses upon him he plotted
her destruction. One day when she
was in the garden gathering roses
Scanlan called Sullivan into the house
and told him, in so many words, that
the woman would have to be put out of
the way. 1t is creditable to Sullivan
that he made a protest, and was
shocked. But Scanlan was his heredi-
tary lord, SO to speak, and obedience
to his master was the first principle
of his life. He soon yielded to his
masters persuasion, and the inhuman
butchers sat planning the crime, while
the victim, smiling and singing, was
ransacking the garden under their eyes.
Scanlan had a pleasure boat on the
river, and riding in it was one of his
wife's chief pleasures. They took an
excursion every evening. On July
evening in 1919 Scanlan explained that
he had been called away on business,
but Sullivan would take her for the
customary boat ride. She took her
seat in the boat. and Sullivan took the
oars, and presently she noticed heavy

FEW FOLKS HAVE
GRAY HAIR NOW
Druggist Says Ladies are Using
Recipe of Sage Tea and
Sulphur.

Hair that loses its color and lustre.
or when it fades, turns gray, dull and
ufeless, is caused by q lack of sulphur
in the hair. Our grandmother made
up q mixture OF Sage Tea and Sulphur
to keep her locks dark and beautiful.
and thousands of women and men who
value that even color, that beautiful
dark shade of hair which is so at
tractive, use only this old-time
recipe.
Nowadays we get this famous mix
ture improved by the addition of
other ingredients by asking at any
drug store for q 50-cent bottle of
''Wyeths Sage and Sulphur Com
pound" which darkens the hair so
naturally, so evenly, that nobody can
possibly tell it has been applied. You
just dampen a sponge or soft brush
with it and draw this through your
hair, taking one small strand at q
time. BY morning the gray hair dis
appears: but what delights the ladies
with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com
pound, is that. besides beautifully
darkening the hair after n few appli-
cations, il also brings back the gloss
and lustre and gives it an appearance
of abundance.
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com
pound Is a delightful toilet requisite
to impart color and a youthful ap-
pearance to the hair. 1t is not intend
ed for the cure, mitigation or pre-
vention of disease.

Why This Half-Price Sale Must Ston

Mark Twain wanted everyone in America
to own set of his books So one of the
last things he asked us was that we make
set at so low price that everyone might
own it.
He said: "Don't make editions TO sell for
5000 or $500 and $1,000. Make good books,
books good to look at and easy to read,
and make their price low" So we have
made this set. And until now we were
able to sell it at this low price But thing
