Pharmacists and Physi-
clans Should Use
Metric System
BY JOSEPH ". ENGLAND, Secre-
tary of the Philadelphia
Drug Exchange

TT is our endeavor to have the re-
tail pharmacists of the country
. put the metric system to gen.
eral use, but assistance must come
from the physicians who are en-
ploying the old. The metric system
has come to stay in the United
States, and it is only a question of
time before it will be the only one
used. Congress legalized it in 1866.
Two standards cannot exist.
The use of relative terms is not
only cumbersome, but prevents the
practical use Of the metric system.
It has led to errors by those who
have assumed that the equivalents
given were proportional and inter-
changeable with the metric units
when they r not.
THE PROPER WAY TO USE THE
METRIC TERMS AND TO ENcoUR-
AGE THEIR GENERAL USE Is TO
THINK IN TERMS OF THE METRIC
SYSTEM.
Pharmacists should use metric
weights and measures for the max
ing of pharmaceutical preparations
regardless of whether physicians
employ them in writing prescrip-
lions or not. THE RESPONSE
DIT INV on THU ETITITPE TSE
OR NONUSE OF THE METRIC
SYSTEM IN PRESCRIPTION
WRITING RESTS SOLELY
WITH THE PHYSICIANS.

"Cans containing the milk are set i1

As the fresh water is pumped into

Farming az a Vocation.

The thousands who wish to take up
farming as a vocation feel the appeal
unusually strong just now owing to
the large profits which are possible.
These men e a good chance for sue
cess in the high rate Of commodity
prices, and undoubtedly many of them
+ wise enough to realize that land
prices will never be lever. This is the
additional incentive governing the
large migration to the country districts.
Heads Of families who have taken
up this subject find ready encourage
ment in conditions as described. Many
Of them see that farm life offers them
the only real chance for independence
and comfort which they seek for their
families. All such people, If they are
intelligent observers. have learned that
rural life is NO longer isolated or irk-
some ina social sense. The steady i'm.
provement in transportation facilities
in all parts Of the country and the use
Of telephones and motors have brought
farm families in touch with town life
and the advantages which are common
to other elements Of society. Generally
speaking. the country is much more en-
joyable than ever before from the
viewpoint Of a farmers family, while
the financial aspect has made gains Of
equal importance.
