TO FIGHT FALSE ADS
OF PATENT MEDICINES
Retail Merchants Association Is to
Wage a Campaign in
the District.

A campaign against patent medicines
falsely advertised in the District OF
Columbia is to be waged by the adver-
Using vigilance committee of the Re-
tail Merchants Association.
This decision was reached at a meet
ing of the committee Friday night. Drug
gists throughout the city are to be in
vited to cooperate with the commit
tee in it's efforts to eliminate or at least
minimize the patent medicine evil
from Washington. Nine of the leading
druggists of this city are to be invited
to a conference with a subcommittee of
the advertising vigilance committee.
AT this time it is proposed to draw up
a list of patent medicines which. it is
claimed. are advertised falsely, and to
carry on a campaign for their elimina
ton from publications and stores in
Washington. Several individual drug
gists have told members of the citizens
committee that they are aware that
certain patent medicines which they
carry are falsely advertised and realize
further that they have no beneficial eff
feet in a curative way.
Chairman Joseph Berberich. who pre-
sided at the meeting Friday night. out
lined the work which the committee
has in hand at this time. On motion
of Delegate Gage of the Chevy Chase
Citizens Association, it was decided to
have the committee issue a bulletin to
be sent to members of the committee,
citizens associations and other organ
lZatlons, inviting complaints and Sug-
Gestions regarding advertising in the
District.
On motion of Martin ]. Mcnamara, the
advertising vigilance committee extend
ed its official thanks to c. Z. La Nigne.
field agent of the American Fair Trade
League, who is cooperating with the
advertising vigilance committee in its
work. particularly in the Southwick
Shops case and two cases now pending.
Mr.. La Nigne was also unanimously
elected to membership on the advertis-
ing vigilance committee.

men who were assembled to take part

be>made and urged his auditors not to
feel badly if they were not in the first
group to go to the front

Humanitarian Work Not Limited by
Charter to the Sick and

That the American Red Cross under

This opinion. which antedates by ono
