4 Talk & DrrIssisjisl

Customers sometimes suspect
that drugEist b making tremeu-
dOas profit when hs di1penses 1 few
ounces Of medicine prescribed BY q
doctor. Sometimes patients ask the
doctor to inform them how much
the, druggist will charge them for
medicine he has prescribed, and II
he II = good doctor he generally
cannot tell. but bids the patient to
trust to the druggists honesty to
set 4 fair price f1asmuch as he Is
entrusting his very life to the drug
gist's accuracy and honesty in COM
pounding the pfeScription. The
public little realities how great a
loss the druggist sustains in the
stock he pieces upon his shelves
and keeps there until It has spoiled
or gone out Of fashion-for we have
fashions In prescribing, iust as they
do in the millinery business. And
owing to the custom OF RELOCATING
the prescription counter to an in
conspicuous place in the store, the
public scarcely considers the drug
g1sts service in compromising or
preparing medicine on prescription
q professional service involving the
exercise of skill acquired through
special schooling. This perhaps ex-
plains why people assume the drug
gist makes huge proft-they al
low nothing for his professional
skill.
Almost on a par with the mother
fn-law idea. nowadays. Is another
staple Of the jokesmith, namely that
one can scarcely find the prescrip-
ton department, for the soda foun-
tain, cigar stand, jewelry counter
and haberdashery.
For that the doctors, or a certain
class OF doctors who have time to
maintain a stock of medicines and
do their own dispensing, may be in
part to blame. Yet the better doc
tors everywhere are rather less
commercial and more particular
about fitting the medicine to the pa
tents present requirements in
stead Of trying to fit the patients
troubles to the medicines kept for
wholesale dispensing. And there
are other reasons than mere COM
mercialism that force some good
doctors to dispense more or less
good medicine.
The proprietor of a leading drug
store. a public spirited citizen, was
asked by some club women to give
his views on the status or whisky in
medicine. "Whisky" he replied,
with the smile which is one Of his
business assets. That's one thing
l never prescribe" And when the
doctors wife later retailed this
morsel to her husband, who had

The whole family gathered
around Helen to watch the un-
wrapping Of the wedding presents,
and there was a chorus Of "Ohs"
and Abs and exciting comment
as each object met their gaze. Then
1t came the time of a high card
board box. At first nothing ap-
peared but excelsior, then a card,
then . plump, ornate, green vase.

the family.
But meantime 1t was winter and
Helen moved into the pretty little
apartment that was waiting for
her. She was very proud of every
thing. from the kitchenet to the
mahogany kate-leg table, and the
Duxbury chairs. She found a place
for the green vase next to the
French window, filled it with
flowers and prepared to bask her
self IN satisfaction at the result.
Yet, somehow when she looked
around she was not quite pleased
with the effect. Probably it did
not show up to the best advantage
where It was placed. She tried it
In smother corner, she experiment

appeared to be wrong. Then she
decided that PINK carnations did

and still that discofdance bothered
her, she concluded 1t was the fault
Of the mahogany furniture.
By degrees that vase grew to be

think Of anything else. When visi-

appeared to be the most charming
and carefree young hostess imae-
inable. in64rfly she was frettinr
about that jarfink note. She was
sure the callers must BE aware of
It. But what was to be done? She
had a couple of hoisterous little
cousins. and when they came to see
her she hopefully placed the vase
near the edge Of the shelf and
awaited results. The expected

Willis O. Nance. of Chicago, told the American Civic Association, in con vention here.
 Unnecessary city noises" declared Dr Nance. "are the bane of metro- pOltan existence They murder sleep, assasinate mental rest. shat ter our nerves, develop profanity and indirectly shorten our lives
 "These noises are not the din but the knell of civilization"
 Dr Nance said there is litte doubt but that many nervous wrecks are created each year by the incessant din and clamor to which the average city resident is continually subjected He said that in Chicago. New York and Philadelphia there are more kinds of useless noises than in all the cities of Europe combined. He advocated a campaign of education to arouse public sentiment against tlR continuance of noise nuisances.
