THE sANDAoED FINGER.

The young ribbon clerk had just
been married and didn't wish any of
her fellow clerks to know about it
until the end of the week, at which
time she intended to resign from her
place. And again she did not wish
to remove the shining new band ring
from her finger, for you see she was
rather superstitious. She worried
and worried until her grandmother
came to her relief. "Why don't you
just tie that finger up for a while ?"
she said.
So straightway the finger was tied
up and for one week the secret was
kept intact. But after the discovery
in that store there was declaration
among the girls that every bandaged
finger would have to be examined
before its owner would be permitted
to work in that store unmolested.

MEMORIES

I thought had forgotten too,
But In some dim and darkend place
Past days come and stab me through
With waking memories Of your face.
And with them things l would forget
Your crumbled hair and brooding eye,
Those moon-lit hours when we met.
A whispered word. a kiss sigh.
They beckon MEETINGS loved by you
Old blossoms in flower shop.
Queer bits Of tunes you whistled to
Suck my heart blood drop by drop.
A black lined etching on the wall
Dear tender names your strong hand
wrote.
Bring back the throbbing husk OF
fall
Your lips upon my lips and throat.
An unknown voice. a snatch OF verse.
Daft words once breathed to me by
you
Hunt and mock me with the curse.
or memories--old, old, yet new.
want to loath, to spurn. forget.
You who SO gayly kissed and fled.
But God! go on loving yet.
Till you are dead and I am dead.

Over the Way

! walked by slumbering brook to-
day.
And sat on the bank where the moss
was new.
The morning soft as il danced away
Brought back the gay sweet laugh OF
you.
walked in the woods alone today
And fingered to hear the thrush sing
through:
1t seemed to sing all its heart away
And know the very song Of you.
walked in the fields alone to-day
And stopped where the first sweet
vioIAt grew.
And there in the meadows just over
the way;
l found the smiling heart Of you.

ANCIENT PuRE-FooD LAWS
Strict Regulations In Force During
Whist People Of Today Call the
Ozark Ages"

Geld cream has come down to Us
from Roman days. The first formula
is attributed to Galen, who wrote IN
the second century. What we use
today is practically the same, though
doctor" Galen's original formula
was initiated and improved" hum
dreds of times. Emperor Frederick
II Of Sicily, in 1910 or 124l, pub
lished the first pure food and drugs
act. He specified strict regulations
of the standard Of drug purity, pro-
vided for drug inspectors and fined
all offenders. The practice OF medi-
cine was also regulated. A physician
was required to have diploma from
a university before he could study
medicine, then he took three-year
course in the school of medicine and
one year under q practicing ply
stefan. Special postgraduate work
in anatomy was required if he was to
do surgery. All this was In the So
called clark ages" Even the fees
of physicians and pharmacists were
strictly regulated by law and we're
in purchasing value about the same
as the charges Of the present day.
Physicians were not allowed to own
drug stores and drug adulterators
were severely punished. 1
