Espanto conducted an enormous

The circular went on to say:

"Small-scale medical takers almost

G. p. Larrick. chief of drug control,

products only when they are shipped
across State borders or are imported
and exported.
The buyer Is protected, Of course,
through the enforcement of the State
laws, but he should remember that
many Of the worthless medicines Of
fered for sale are both illegally la
beled and fiagrantly advertised. 1t is
Always q wise precaution for the

upon to show cause why fraud ORDER

Germ. There was a hearing at which
the manufacturer and his attorney
appeared. 1t consumed slightly more
than half day.
Earl A. Crowley, solicitor for the

DACK in her enormous bedroom
I'D with the mullioned windows

Sally sat, surrounded by rainbow
of frocks; shoes, still in their tissue
wrappings, lay in the boxes.
1t had been easier than She had
expected-all of it. She gloated,
with a sort of wild glee, over the
thought of her coming triumph.
AT first she had been attracted to
Michael merely because of his
handsome masculinity-partly be-
cause of his indifference. But her
nature took fire always at any sign
of opposition and, although she had
been more than once tempted to
let the engagement drop, after she
had heard of his good fortune she
had determined to cling to him
doggedly.
Michael had been right when he
had shrewdly gagged Sally's reac-
tions to the thought of title.

Suddenly she remembered the lit
