yore. Right here it might be well to
remark that wise "patients" will keep
on the right side OF their druggists. The

probably will send round the corner ana

BE Nice TO Your Druggist
You've got 10 keep on the good side
Of your druggist If YOU want 10 get
anything to drink
In the first place. you must satisfy
the man of pills and potions that your
prescription is a legitimate one. lie is
fully justified in turning it down II he
thinks you jollied the doc into sign
ing it. The druggist probably will ask
you TO stick out your tongue. let him
feel your pulse and hear the list Of your
symptoms before he takes your money
for the case.
Also the druggist may put you
Through the fourth degree to see If you
are getting it anywhere else. In fact,
he is supposed TO do so. Then. when
he is satisfied. and sells you the two
and a half gallons Of beer the law al
lows. he must place on the bottles or
the container a label showing the serial
number of the prescription, his own
name. which. by the way. he must
cancel after he has written #. the
name of the physician. the name Of the
patient. the kind and quality Of the

| we are going 10 send copy Of the
letter received from Washington TO all
hotel owners today said Mr.. Duncan.
"This stresses the fact that Federal
courts have issued iniunctions against
hotels where liquor was sold. as a puO.
lie nuisance.
I'm the future the management O.
hotels will be held strictly accountable
for liquor violations. and the nuisance
feature of the law will be invoked 10
the fullest extent"
What about people who carry Ii
Quor in?" Mr.. Duncan was asked.
The hotel is responsible for the
conduct Of it's guests. But we will fnl
that most OF the liquor will bc carried
in the hip pockets of walters. They arc
the employees, but it. is not them tha'
we will get. We will get the higher
ups. And We'll close thcnl-tighter thar
