WHY NOT MAKE IT IN AMERICA?

Much has been said and written aboot the remarkable increase in prices due to the war and it's effect upon industrial conditions. Whether the drastic regulatory measures that have finally been signed by the Presi- dent will have a deterrent effect re- mains to be seen There are some conditions, however, that cannot be reached by law. This is notably true in the drug line. Many drugs, chemi- calls, and dyes were manufactured in Germany, and that source of supply is cut off-some think that even after peace is declared it will be many years before that country can regain it's commercial ante-bellum status.
 There are a few instances of the un- paralleled advances that may be men tioned. Thymol, chemical that came into general medical use few years ago as the most effective remedy for hook-worm, has advanced since the beginning of the war from S3 to S17, making it's use almost prohibtive. The best substitute that has yet been discovered is the oil of chenopodium, which is home manufactured and con- paratively cheap. Every man in the military camps is given a round of this remedy, whether they need it or not, on the theory that they probably do need it.
 Then there is glycerine, most common chemical has advanced from p cents to 66 cents a pound. Perma- ganate of potash, which sold at 35 cents pound before the war, has ad- vanced to $40. Potassium bromide advanced from 7j cents to $450, then American chemists began making it in commercial quantities, and it is now selling at $2.25, with the prospect of a further drop. Carbolic acid, house hold remedy, sold at 20 cents three years ago, one of the cheapest drugs on the market, but when the source of supply was cut off, it went up to $2.25. Then increased home manufacture caused it to drop back to S1. It is i'm possible, almost, to buy white tooth brushes, as the supply of brussells has been cut off.
 Wicker baskets, formerly made in Germany, are now being imported from Japan, but the freight rate is about five times as high.
 An interesting condition has arisen in regard to asperin, popular head ache remedy. It was made in Ger many, and there was a sharp advance when the stock began to be exhausted. It is so standard that a $2 900 stock df asperin was not uncommon. As perrin is nothing but acety-salicylic acid, and American chemists discov- cred that they could make it. The asperin now on the market is Ameri- can made, but the tablets are not branded, as are those made in Ger many. The owners of the patents are alleging infringement, but Amreican chemists contend that asperin as much as calomel or quinine is a gen. eric term, and therefore that the name cannot be patented

Royce has held an official position for some time, was given Wednesday night as a farewell social function before his departure for Fort Riley, Kansas, where he has been ordered by the Government to report for duty as first lieutenant and where he Will begin his service of aid in making the world safe for Democracy.

One of the cakes was entirely covered with an "Old Glory" done in red, white and blue sugar.
 After the guests had enjoyed the usual pleasure of a surprise party, Worthy Matron McIndoo presented Lieutenant Boyce with a luminous wrist watch. reading the following verses:
 The span of mans days is a season
 of strife
 For the best, and the worst of the
 race,
 But the man with a mission no other
 can fill
 Is the man with the Luminous face To be patient in trial: to cheer up the weak.
 To serve-and forget what is base Makes clay that is common seem all
 but sublime
 When lit with a luminous face. As the changes of life bring it's sor-
 rows and cares
 May his joy and success come apace.
 Is the wish of the friends who have
 met him, and love The man with the luminous face.

 Mrs. McRaven describes Lakeside as one of the most beautiful places she has ever seen. It is on Lake Erie and the beach in some places of fers fine bathing. while in other places the rugged rock bound coast against which the waves dash their spray is like the picturesque ocean scenes hung in metropolitan art gal leries.
