If it’s a bottle of medicine, you can’t tell what’s inside (ex-
cept that it’s probably something bitter). You must trust your
druggist—trust that he has followed your doctor’s orders—
trust that he has used only fresh drugs of the highest grade.
Above all, you must have faith that he has compounded
your prescription properly, for, unlike recipes, prescriptions
rarely state HOW to mix the ingredients. That’s our job—and
we KNOW HOW.
Your own doctor will tell you that we are worthy of this
trust. When you have a prescription filled here, you don’t have
to wonder about what’s in the bottle.

STOCKTON, Mo. — A customer—

in paper tax tokens worth one mill
each.
Keep spent nearly two days count-
ing the cardboard discs, then an-
nounced: “He must have weighed

bill had been overpaid 15 mills.

He said supervisors had for some
time been working with commission-

sued in compliance with a House
resolution of Feb. 24. The order pro-
vided supervisors should meet at
least once, more often if necessary,

NASHVILLE, Tenn.—Gov. Gordon
Browning has signed a bill making
child marriages illegal in Tennessee.
The bill was framed and rushed
through the house and senate as a
result of the national storm of criti-
cism stirred up by the marriage of
9-year-old Eunice Winstead to Char-
lie Johns, 22, last January at the
mountain hamlet of Sneedville,
Tenn.
Under the terms of the bill, no
marriages of couples under 16 years
of age are permitted, and county
clerks who fail to make the checks
required by the law are subject to
fine and removal from office.
The little Winstead girl was still
playing with dolls when she and
Johns startled the country with their
elopement.

The motorist in' 1935 paid one-
eighth of all the taxes in the United
States—federal, state and local. All
taxes aggregated ten billions, and
motor taxes were more than one and
one-fourth billions.
In that year, special motor taxes
exacted from the average automobile
owner amounted to 22 per cent on
his automotive investment.
Heavier and heavier grows the.tax
burden on this industry. Only one
other industry is similarly imposed
upon, that being the tobacco indus-
try.
One reason why this injustice is
able to obtain sufferance is that the
On the Screen: “Women of Glamour”
SAN FRANCISCO. — A machine
that diagnoses disease through pul-
sation in the human voice -has been
added to the equipment of medical
science.
Produce of twelve years’ special-
ization in nervous disorders and their
effect on the vocal cords, the device
was exhibited at the University of
California medical school by its orig-
inator, Dr. Paul Moses. It is a varia-
tion of the kymograph, a standard
scientific instrument which records
any oscillation or vibration by wavy
lines on a revolving cylinder.
Gives Closer Detection
Dr. Moses’ contribution is in mak-
ing the scientific needle sensitive to
certain significant vibrations of the
larynx and membranes of the nose
and mouth which cannot be detected
by the physician’s own sight or hear-
ing.
“Certain nerve afflictions change
the human speech in their early
stages,” says Dr. Moses. “The sig-
nificant thing about this discovery is
that it permits us to detect some of
those changes which would escape
us. in other methods.
“We have made important prog-
ress with this way of diagnosing gen-
eral paralysis, Parkinson’s disease,
epilepsy and multiple sclerosis,
though it will be fully worked out
and put into general practice.”

The Whitewright Sun says that
that little city has been penalized 25
per cent, beginning March 1st, for
its bad fire record during the past
years. That is certainly a big penalty.
It may be the citizens had better
look around and see how their crop
of fire bugs are coming along. Such
creatures exist in nearly every city.
McKinney has been having a round
with them.—McKinney Examiner.
Business has improved to such an
extent that fires should show an ob-
vious diminution. When the only
equity in a house is represented by
half the amount of the insurance
policy the house, in some cases, is
subject to the effect of rats gnawing
matches—at least if the equity own-
er tries to save some portion of his
equity at the expense of his integrity.
It may not be that way at White-
wright or McKinney, but in some
towns, some towns as big as Dallas
and some very much smaller, equity
owners do have a bad time with rats
and rat fondness for matches when
business conditions are bad and em-
ployment hard to secure. Towns
with frequent fires. are penalized in
their insurance rates. This means
that good insurers are mulcted to pay
for the rats in the houses of bad in-
surers. It is just like prompt tax-
payers being charged extra to make
up for the delinquency of delinquent
taxpayers—just like, although worse.
It deserves to be said, however, that
arson is a declining crime. Consider-
ing the temptation, there are rela-
tively few owner-set fires. Men in
desperate financial condition have
been known to turn incendiary as a
possible way out. It seldom helps a
bad situation. Crime added to in-
debtedness is a destructive combina-
tion, one only a little better than
crime generated by plain meanness.

SOAKING THE MOTORIST

Charlie Ross, 30, of Stephenville,
returned to his home Wednesday a
wiser but sadder man after he was
fleeced of $500 by two Dallas petty
confidence men.
Ross contracted to buy a load of
legal whisky cheap. He met the two
confidence men, who posed as own-
ers of the liquor, in a South Harwood
street hotel. The men required a
$500 deposit. Ross put up the de-
posit, the confidence men excused
themselves from the room and failed
to return.—Dallas Journal.

“assignats,” notes which were print-
ed and poured into circulation dur-
ing the French Revolution.
“Assignats” were issued with such
profusion that they have served ever
since to warn against inflation.
“Exchequer tallies,” equivalent of
modern “treasury bills” are also be-
ing shown there, in addition to a
collection of silver plate, with hall
marks dating back to 1649, date of
the bank’s foundation.
Dentists who practice in
must measure up to technical
quirements in order to obtain li-
censes. The wisdom of this regula-
tion has been fully established by ex-
perience.
But a number of dental societies
argue that the state should not stop
at requiring high standards of pro-
ficiency but should also enapt laws
to assist the profession in standard-
izing its method of catering to
public.
Members of these societies feel
that it is unethical for dentists to ad-
vertise and they are asking the Leg-
islature to support them by prohib-
iting dental advertising.
If there were no law to protect the
public from fraudulent advertising,
legislation for such a purpose would
be necessary, but there is a statute
of this kind. The societies are asking
that dental advertising be prohibited
simply because it is advertising. It
is difficult to believe that such a
measure would be constitutional.—

his tell-tale records of their articula-

NEW YORK.—Here is a beautiful
prescription which does not cost a
cent.
It is a favorite of the most beauti-
ful women on the continent and the
most famous actresses in the world.
Unless it is included in the regime,
beauty cannot be retained. Yet many
American women ignore it so com-
pletely that they defeat the very
ends which they spend hundreds of
dollars trying to attain.
It is simply—relax and rest.
During the years I spent in Eu-
rope as feature editor of The Asso-
ciated Press Paris Bureau I learned
the beauty secrets of some of the
loveliest women on the continent.
Virtually all of them know the value
of repose. Eight hours’ sleep every
night and a half hours’ daily rest
either after luncheon or before din-
ner is as much a part of their beauty
regimes as cold cream.
American women have a tendency
to rush about much more than con-
tinental women, whether their days
revolve about a household, a social
program or a career. The majority
of them plan twice as many things as
they can do—they try to wedge in a
little shopping or “beauty” massage
for good measure. The result is a
weary face, frazzled nerves and a
lack of praise—none of which make
for beauty.
Try budgeting your day
while—scheduling just what
know you can accomplish, without
racing to keep pace with appoint-
ments. Three or four times a day, re-
lax completely in your chair for a
a few minutes, close your eyes and
think “black.” It will do much to
banish fatigue from mind and body
and keep both feeling fresh.
When you go to bed, shut off your
thoughts, as you turn out the light.
(The day is ended and tomorrow will
be another one.) Open your window
from the top, so that drafts will not
strike you, make sure the sheets are
smooth, and the bedding light and
warm. Relax and go to sleep.—Ade-
laide Kerr.
Fresh Vegetables
We have just received a nice assortment of Fresh
Vegetables for this season, including English Peas,
New Potatoes, Beets, Carrots, Pascal Celery, Mus-
tard Greens, nice large Lettuce, Cauliflower, and
others, at prices unusually low for this season.
An interesting pamphlet issued by
a Washington bureau lists some of
the smallest things in the world,
few of which are the following:
St. Anthony’s chapel, near Festina,
la., holds 8 persons.
Monaco, on the Mediterranean,
embracing only 8 square miles is the
smallest country.
In a Philippine lake is found a fish
whose maximum length is only half
an inch.
An ultramichrometer used by the
U. S. Bureau of Standards measures
to one-billionth of an inch.
H. McBroom of Houston, Tex.,
constructed a working electric mo-
tor less than an inch high and weigh-
ing only a quarter of an ounce.
Bristol County, Rhode Island, with
an area of 24 square miles is the
smallest county in the United States.
Most interesting of all is the ac-
count of a dwarf named Che Mah,
who was brought to America from
the Orient in 1881 by the great show-
man, P. T. Barnum. Che Mah was
the smallest specimen of a full
grown human being ever known, be-
ing only 28 inches tall. He was mar-
ried twice; had a son normal size by
his first marriage, and died in Chi-
cago in 1926 at the age of 88.—Ex.
The American citizen who thinks
that the nation’s tax bill concerns
him only slightly because “the cor-
porations pay most of the taxes
anyway” is in for quite a shock if he
will look at the figures. If the total
net income of ALL the corporations
in the United States in the last year
for which official figures are avail-
able had been confiscated for taxes,
it would have paid just about one-
quarter of the total tax bill.
