GREAT TRUTH CAMPAIGN BY
8 SAN ANTONIO DRUGGISTS is
s.sssss DESIGNED TO INFORM PUBLIC
Registered Druggist Holds Important Post in Health
h. and Welfare of Every Community and
r. Charges for His Services Reasonable =
for What He Gives. rt,. q

Supported by the newspapers Of the
city and other organizations having
the good of the public welfare Mt
heart, the retail druggists of San An
tonic are this week launching a big
truth campaign to enlighten the
public on the part the registered
pharmacist plays in the health and
safety Of the community.
!, The campaign is unusual in that
the funds have been subscribed equal
ly by the retail druggists both in the
business center and in the residence
districts and suburban additions 10
the end that all may participate equal
" in this work. The San Antonio
Light, adds its endorsement to the
movement which is designed, the drug
gists announce, TO bring home to the
people the fact that a registered
druggist is a professional man who
has devoted four long, hard years Of
study to mastering his science. He
holds in his hand, the safety Of the
community because on his shoulders
rests the proper compounding when
a physician writes prescription. The
registered druggist is the man behind
the prescription that the doctor gives
the patient. On him is the respOn-
sibility for its correct filling. He
must know the various drugs that
enter into its parts, how to put them
together, how to label them intelli-
gently and carefully and last but not
least he must carry at all times, n
large supply of these drugs on hand
80 that day or night, when the pre-
scription comes TO him, he can give
1t immediate effect.
Drugs Often Deteriorate.
Few people understand that many
OF the drugs and supplies carried by
the druggist in stock day in and day
out, are very perishable. Some deter
iorate after a short time while some
loss must be borne by the druggist
in addition to his other costs of doing
business. He must at all times main
tain fresh, effective stock he must
at all times be ready to fill a pre-
scription Immediately; he must at oil
times have the countless articles that
go to make up the drug store stock
because when these things are needed
in sickness and emergencies of, all
kinds, they must be ready.
Never before has Just such a cam.
palgn as this, been witnessed in this
city. A group of druggists from the

Favors Standard Products.
While the druggist sells many
articles in his store, most of them
have to do with the general health
and safety of the community although
they may range from medicines TO
face powder. But the registered
druggist, knowing the harm that can
be done by impure or improperly
compounded drugs is sticliler for
standard products and he eliminates
such risk for his customers. The
fact that he offers a product for sale
is convincing evidence that he has
faith in its merit, or at least knows
it to be put out by n reliable and
ethical concern. Moreover most reg
istered druggists have long years OF
experience in drug store work TO
their credits, You gain the knowl-
edge that they have acquired by years
of service when you patronize them.
This service is something beyond
price, something they do not sell but
which is an intimate and important
part of the registered druggists store.
Discussing the Truth campaign, one
Of the San Antonio druggists who is
strong factor in the movement
said:
Based on Truth.
- Truth in service, truth in adver-
Using, truth. in every sense Of the
word-is the foundation on which
this campaign is built.

had been a success in New York, and
was in Williamsville just this one
night. All the Williamsville youths
would be there with their ladies, and
Richard, deep in his heart, was glad
that they were to see him with Violet.
Il don't know why I feel this in
ordinate pride in her. he told him
self. "There are prettier girls, and as
jolly. And girls that are nicer to me,
too. But it's Violet I'd rather be seen
with than any Of EN-"
When he called for her the whole
family was sitting around the open
fire in the big front parlor. Evident

dinner, for Violet's aunt and uncle and
her cousins We're still there, and I'M

''Time to start for the theater?"
Violets father exclaimed In amaze
ment when he saw Richard. 'WeIl,
we'd better get our things on, too"
1t seemed that not only youth was
going to the musical comedy. But
Aunt Sophia was not going. She had
not thought to get herself a ticket, and
apparently no one had thought for her.
Aunt Maud was going with her hus-
band. The young cousins were going
with their beaux. Mrs. Martin with
Mr.. Martin. And Violet was going

Aunt Sophia until this minute had
not realized how lonely a Christmas
night she had In store for herself at
home in her tiny apartment. She
stood now, gazing about almost like
a child afraid of sudden loneliness.
But no one noticed the look, and
Sophia had never meant they should,

way, if we did, you couldn't sit with
us. We want you to sit with us !"
With what gratitude Aunt Sophia's
eyes beamed at that. "No, of course
you couldn't get seat there" she
agreed. "And l wouldn't let you if you
could, you generous young man! But
I will tell you what [ viii do. I'll get
up a little supper for you two if you'll
come in after the theater, and you
may bring some of your friends. That

Why hadn't father planned something
for Sophia for tonight? Why hadn't
he got a seat for her? How could
her dear blessed parents be so
thoughtless? Why, Aunt Sophia was
mothers own sister. "And mother
never seemed to guess how dreary it
must be on Christmas Eve"
Violet hushed her criticism of her
parents and took action herself. No
other girl in Williamsville, it is safe
to say, would have done what she did
then.
Lets go to the movies instead"
she whispered eagerly and quickly in
Richards ear, land take Aunt Sophia

Richard was amazed, and disap-
pointed. But when HE had looked
across the hall at Aunt Sophia he
suddenly understood Well, Violet
had always known he was the best
comrade and the most understanding
a girl could ever have whether he was
ever to be more or not Now he justi-
fed that faith.
"Good for YOU" he whispered back,
and together they went over to Aunt
Sophia. But Aunt Sophia would not

place of chagrin.
Farther up the street and behind
door bearing the name of Paul Peters
there was another household that was
not as sunny as it should have been,
A letter had come-but bundle had
failed to come The letter a program
of delight, the bundle a disapp0int-
ment. Uncle Joshua had known their
wants by a marvellous instinct, but
where was the bundle? Alas the 9TH
er things were as nothing for the lack
of it and Christmas morning dawned
upon discomfort.
But before the morning had quite
disappeared Fred came rushing in with
the news that he had seen that Peters
boy in the next block with a sled
bearing the same name as the one mem
toned by Uncle Joshua. 81 didn't
know there was a Peters boy 10 the
next block" said his mother; "I'll go
down and see If they can tell us any
thing about our bundle"
They could, and the mystery was
very easily SOlNeu ny the CAPITALIZATION
of the postman at the wrong door,
making a very pardonable mistake.
An explanation that led indeed to a
redistribution Of gifts and also to a
discovery of relationships, for the Pc
ters' families found each other out, as
less than a block apart in family ties
and friendliness. A discovery that
was the very best Christmas gift that
they could have had and which led
them to think that the wrong door was
all right after all. I
1t proved a way out for the P, PEI
terses and way in for the Paul Pc
terses until Pa Peters of the first
part put in an appearance through it
in time for New Years with such am
account of himself and his adventures
as proved highly satisfactory to all the
combined hopes and plans of all the
Peterses.

selves thought so. And Violet Mar
tin, who was neither the prettiest, nor
the richest, nor the cleverest of the
maidens, agreed with them in their es-
innate of the big handsome, wealthy
fellow. But it was, with her, not his
riches, or his good looks, or even his
great popularity that gave her this
thought. No, it was a feeling she
had for the whole two years since he
had come to Williamsyille, that he
would make one of the best comrades
in the world She understood his spe-
cial sense of humor. She loved his
laugh. Violet Martin was honestly in
love with this big, congenial boy.
Richard was in love with Violet, too.
He was quite certain of that. But he
was spoiled. Anyone would be spoiled
who was adored as Richard was
adored You see, it was not only the
girls-there was his mother who had
spoiled him from infancy. That is
why Richard, although he knew he
loved this girl who wasn't the prettiest,
nor the richest, nor the wisest in Will
liamsville-no, not by far, had not
quite come to the point of proposing.
For Violet, who was honestly in love
with him (not like the others who
were in love with the idea Of perhaps
being loved by this hero) dared not
show her alteration. No, she dared
only be as frank and comradely as a
boy, and treat him like an equal
And Richard was a little put out
with this Any reflection of himself
in a girls eyes short of a hero's rehec-
ton made him feel strange.
Besides, he wasn't sure it was pos
sible for man to be in love with
lady unless she was in love with him.
He had pride, too.
But Christmas night the drama
came to its crisis.

comedy with him, good show that

Esther suddenly broke the silence.
ST think it is so queer that didn't
receive any answer from George He
might at least have told. me he
couldn't come"
Everything was excitement and
noise in the large hall of the settle
ment house, where people of all ma
tiomalities were crowding in. The pro-
gram began at the hour stated. Be
fore long Esther heard her name an
nounced and stepped onto the plat
form with her pianist.
Gazing at the audience, while she
awaited the pianist, her wandering
glance fell upon familiar face. 1t

same breath, she murmured, ooh,

you have invested me, and, dear Lord,

She threw back her head with an
exalted air. George was going to hear
her sing. She must do more than her
best.
Never did she sing with such spirit
and vigor. Shit, seemed truly inspired.
Her cup of Joy was full. The burst of
applause which met her ears showed
the thorough appreciation Of her audi
ence for her efforts.
She couldn't get to George fast
enough after the entertainment. Meet

out Of his grasp, realizing that they

Many Interesting Contests
Promptly at 1 O'Clock the after
noon program began. There were
the usual foot and horse races, a keg
roping contest, in which a number of
young men on horseback rode at a
gallop past a key, casting their rope
as they swept by. 1t is no easy task
to rope a keg, it's shape making 1t
very hard to rope tight enough to
hold, and the boys displayed consid-
cradle skill.
During this time / had been busy
with my little camera, and l found
that while the men were always
ready to pose, the squaws objected
seriously when l pointed the kodak
in their direction-one dandy group,
seated on the grass, throwing them
selves forward on their faces just as
| got them nicely in focus. Another
squaw, with a baby on her back,
turned her back when she saw me
getting ready to shoot" thus giving
me a splendid view of her baby.
With Major Mossman's authorita-
tive persuasion, l got another very
good picture of another mother and
baby, and managed to get a cunning
little papoose into my own arms long
enough to get a snap of it.
Old Yellow Horse, n of the old
est Indians on the reservation, and
old acquaintance of our ranching
days, came to the side of the car.

asked, and when l told him "Still
