Pharmacy Pay Small.
1t is only fair to the druggists to
say that the prescription department
of a pharmacy is one of the lowest
paying features of such an establish
ment. In fact, wholesale druggist
in Washington told The Star
string" drug company here, which
maintains many stores. actually lost
on their prescription department.. II
the cost of the drugs is taken into
consideration. it is stated. the pront
from the prescription might be con-
sidered excessive. But the skill and
knowledge of the pharmacists are
necessary to fill the prescription. to.
gether with the time he must spend
in so doing, and these must be con-
sidered.
The fashioned" method Of fill
ing prescriptions was to charge
blanket rate of perhaps SO cents for
filing prescriptions. regardless Of
the cost of drugs This way enabled
the druggist to break even on the
deal, losing on some prescriptions
and gaining on others.
There as been some effort to stand
ardize the cost of prescriptions, but
such move is believed to be i'm
pra cticable. Drugs, it is pointed out,
hardly could be standardized any
more than a cup of coffee. The range
in the prices for coffee is common
knowledge.
In order to go about obtaining the
prescriptions in a perfectly business
like manner, the reporter visited a
physician, chosen at random from a
number whose offices were located IN
a downtown Office building. 1t is well
to state here the reporter was in ex-
cellent health and spirits.
Doctor Got ."Suspicf0us."
The doctor asked the reporter what
was wanted. Some common pre-

told.

Prof. Ernest Smith Here

Prof. Ernest Smith was in Ores
den this week in the interest of plac-
ing a Lyceum course with the local
school, but, unfortunately, reached
here at a time when both the princi-
pals, Misses House and Hart, were
out of town. 1t is quite a compli-
ment to Prof. Smith that the board
of directors of the Wingo High
School, the leading school of west
ern Kentucky, has reelected him
principal every year for the past
nine or ten years. Both he and the
board are congerial and the work
hone by this school ranks along
with the leading educational insti-
buttons of the state.

Planting Corn At Night

The late season for corn planting
has caused many farmers to work
early and late, but we heard of one
farmer, Noah Banner, living west
of town, who, on last Thursday
night planted corn until 10 o'clock,
after working hard all day. Banner
had his ground all ready to plant,
he saw that a. rain was coming and
in order to get finished ahead Of
the rain he worked until far into
the night. 1t is just such efforts
as this that bring success and we'll
wager ginger cake Noah Danner
has corn to sell this fall.
