'"The national association could not
function without the State and local
associations, nor could the latter long
or well exist without the national
association. There are associations
of retail druggists in practically
every State in the Union The ma
tional association has members in
practically every State in the Union.
So far as organization Is concerned
retail druggists could not reasonably
ask or expect better. Day by day
they are putting moro into their or
ganizations, and day by day they are
getting more out of them. The pub
lie thus is being benefited more and
more, and in due course will recog-
nize this fact and show its appre-
citation by proper support.
when 1t does, official Washington
will show the retail druggists of the
country more respect The one salient
point always to be remembered Is
that the National Association of Re-
tail Druggists makes it possible for
pharmaceutical service to be rendered
the public. This Is only another way
of saying that the health and lives
of the American people are being
safeguarded by the National Asso-
citation of Retail Druggists"

John McCann Sends New York
Controller $3O,9Ss in Addition
to $4,000 Already Paid.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, September 20.-John
McCann, former city marshal, in
whose account shortage was said
to have been discovered some time
ago, has made complete set
tlement with Controller Charles l..
Craig by sending him a check for
$30,9SS, that sum together with a
check for $50, 600, which McCann sent
to the controller week ago, is said
to equal the amount that was re-
ported missing in McCann's account
ing of his collections of tax arrears.
A week ago. when he sent the first
check, McCann explained that his
affairs were in a muddled condition
because of his i'll health What ef-
feet McCann's settlement will have
upon the grand jury action which
Controller Craig asked for when the
shortage was discovered was not
known last night.

Congress had to be done by the Ma
tional Association of Retail Drug
gists and its members scattered all
over the United States. And so with
the tax on soft drinks. If it had been
left to the public the tax would still
be collected on soft drinks sold at
soda fountains, patent medicine and
toilet articles. And 1t would be COL
lected from the public. Thanks to
the persistent fight of the National
Association of Retail Druggists, this
tax was repealed.
1.-The activities Of the National AS
sociation of Retail Druggists do not
stop at rendering invaluable assist
ance to Congress in making the laws
affecting the public welfare as we'll
as the interests of retail druggists
They extend further to furnishing
necessary and valuable information
and advice in the drafting OF the
regulations for the enforcement of
these laws. Neither time nor expense
is spared in this direction by the
National Association of Retail Drug
gists. 1t is fair to say that law en-
forcement would be far from what 1t
is today were it not for the activity
of this association. This applies with
equal force to the Harrison narcotic

GRANT IS ALLOWED
9EDAY REPR|EvE
Illinois Governor Sets Date
of Execution Ahead to
Await Krause Ruling.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, September .20.-Thomas
F. Swanson. attorney for Bernard
Grant, under sentence of death, was
planning tonight the last stages in
his fight to save Grant from the
gallows Earlier in the day word
had been received from Springfield
that Gov. Lem Small had granted the
youth Il 90-day reprieve, which sets
the date of execution over to Janu-
ary 10.
Several Of Chicago's best law
yers,' said Mr.. Swanson, will go to
Springfield to plead for the boy when
our petition is heard.
Darrow Shows Interest.
Whether Clarence S. Darrow or
Charles +. Erbstein will be among
the Chicago attorneys to join the
plea for Grants life. Mr. Swanson
would not say, although he declared
that both had made inquiries in the
case
Grant received the news of his re-
prieve with a smile. Fine, that's just
fine" he said, cit lifts 80 pounds
of worry off my shoulders. My hair
ought to turn black after that l
hope in time the governor Will COM
mute my sentence entirely. l. de-
serve that, because l am innocent.
In his plea for a pardon, trans
mitted to the governor, Grant con-
fines himself to reiteration of his
denials that he was present on the
night on which Walter Krauser, also
sentenced to death in the case, and
a companion, shot and killed a police
man in an attempted robbery.
Grant says that he did not even
know krauser until they met in the
police station a few hours after his
arrest. --
Krauser is now awaiting the out
come of an appeal to the State Su-
preme Court, which will be acted
upon within a few weeks.
Gov. Small declared in granting d
reprieve that he would postpone con-
sideration of Grant petition until
krauser's case had been ruled upon
by the court.

 The heat made the soles Of her s.ip- pcrs sizEle and smoke and She hopped sfOaH3 first up0n one foot then upon the other just like a Mexican jumping ban.
 The RsgEedys did not laugh and make fun Of the mean old Witch for tha. would have been iii-mannered and neither the Rssgedys nor the Grocery hoy wished 10 bs that.

How Did Dicl,y Transform tlie Iratc Lucy

If a hand grenade had exploded in the room I do not think little Mrs Durkee would have been more startled than she was at the deilan' speecb of Lucy, the colored maid. All Of us were surprised and angry bili the face of our hostess was wiped clear of everything save stark be. wilderment.
 The color rushed into her cheeks and an angry glitter to her eyes, but too late for Lncy to see them,
 The colored woman had not wait ed to see the effect of her ultima tum, but had turned with con- temptuous glance at Dicky and sa.lked from the room.
 .'What-what on earth docs she mean:" Mrs. Durkce demanded angrily. q never heard such non- ssnsical talk. l'ootieggcrs, and her being holiness and all The woman must be crazy, Leila. you mustn't have her here another minute. Go down now. and tell her to leave the house ct once.'
 Katherine, Leila and exchanged glances of dismay.

But before Mrs. Durkce's justifiable wrath we all stood helpless. and it was Dicky who unexpectedly came to the rescue.
