Explains Druggists Stand.
mo Washington druggist Intentionally
violates tire law" declared Mr.. Pear
son. IF druggist knows a certain
combination Of oils which will irnpart
certain f1avoring and a customer comes
to purchase that article, IL Is no blisi-
ness OF the druggist to inquire what Il
Is TO be used for. He would be over
stepping the bounds in asking the ctIg-
toner such questions. Such INQUIRIES
mean a loss Of patronage"
But II customer deliberately tells
the druggist, for instance, that he wants
certain article for the purpose of max
ing liquors, then the druggist would be
violating the law to sell II 10 him. i1ay-
Ing knowledge that II was TO be used

Doran Holds Sale Of drops"
Is I|IegaI-Druggists Com

Shipping another flourishing offshoot
of these dry times, the Government has
clamped down on the sale by drug stores
of the magic drops" which convert
ordinary hydrant water and alcohol OF
any sort into gin-bathtub or i'm
ported"
The mandate from the Prohibition
Bureau was brought TO light yesterday,
and while druggists are irked by the
order, and feel that the Government IS
going bit too far, DR.. James M. Doran,
head Of the bureau. staunchly upholds
the order and points to the law in sup
port OF his stand.
A growing increase in the sale Of the
drops" is said to have been responsible
for the present situation. The law has
always been the same, DR.. Doran ex-
plains. and when inspectors observed
that the drop" industry was booming.
the druggists were informed that here
after, these sales we're out" The
druggists have complied and no arrests
have been made.
Want 10 Keep Law.
Explaining the attitude of the drug
gists IN the matter. Paul Pearson, presi-
dent of the District Of Columbia Retail
Druggists. said yesterday that those he
represents want to live up TO the law
to the fullest extent. and he has no
doubt that all druggists had stopped
selling the banned drops" and oil COM
pounds for gin fiavors. But he added
significantly, the druggists feel the
Government had perhaps gone almost
as far In this case as 1t did when it at
tempted to stop the sale Of ginger ale
and ice, because 1t might be used by
some one along with a little liquor.
No Washington druggist, according to
President Pearson, is planning to fight
the issue. The resulting unfavorable
