CUT-RATE SYSTEM

Many of these mushroom" drug stores. after their purchase by ex-sa- loon keepers, sell drugs. candies, cigars, perfumes, patent medicines and other sundries at reduced prices in order to attract q large trade. When a customer is known to the owner of the store he Is approached with an offer of booze. In a short time an eX- tremely profitable business in liquor is built up, and the drug trade as sumes secondary importance, being used merely as a cloak for the real business of bootlegging carried on by the store owner.
 When the saloons began to disap- pear here more than a year ago they were replaced by soda fountains, con fcctioncry, cigar and fruit stores. Re ccntly these in their turn have given place to modern drug stores. carrE1ng all the side-lines to be found in the legitimate dispensing establishments and catering to a new trade through their ability to cut prices below com DctitOrs.

CITIZENS COMPLAINED


 Attention of the dry agents was called to the activities of these drug stores when complaints were received from citizens that they were urgtd to buy booze whenever they purchased articles at these stores. Chief En- forcement Director Yellowley launched a campaign against these pseudo druggists, with the result that many were arrested charged with violation of the prohibition law, and heavy fines were imposed. This did not serve to drive the illegal sellers out of the business, however, as their probits were declared to be so enormous that they willingly risked further heavy fines in order to rake in the thousands of dollars to he made in dispensing liquor. It was found that a man could buy liquor in these stores without the formality of obtaining prescription

the credit for the flowers and you can
not shift to another the blame for the
grOwthS that are worthless.
Try to know the good side of human
nature. Try To cultivate it and en-
courage it.
If a motive is in question give it
the benefit of the doubt and believe ii

1t says in the book of Genesis that
when the Creator considered his work
He pronounced that lit was good"
Unless there is greater power than
the Creator it must have remained

Anyhow, it is sort of satisfying to
believe that Good is more powerful
than Evil and unless we have to
change, let us keep on thinking so.

THE ROMANCE OF WORDS
"GROG."

A T FIRST glance there would
n appear to be little cOnnec-
ton between the word "grOS-
grain" applied TO heavy silks
and ribbons. and "grog," the
sailors slang for drink. But both
of them were connected with Adj
miral Edward Vernon of the
British navy, the man who
gained fame for the capture of
Porto Bello during the war with
Spain in 1879 and for whom
Mount Vernon. the home of
Washington. was named.
To the men of the British
navy, however. he owes his
greatest fame to the fact that
he was the first TO order rum
and water served to the men of
his squadron. beginning this
practice on board his own ship,
the Burford. Previous to
this time. the admiral had ac-
guired the name of "Old GrOg,"
from his habit Of StrOlling along
the quarterback i'm "grOgram'
cloak - grOgram" being the
British sailors corruption of the
term "grOs- grain" Because of
the nickname of the man who
originated the serving of rum In
the navy, the drink was called
"grOg''-and "grOg" II Is, to this
day.
