Each drug the pharmacist uses was produced by a responsible pharma-
ceutical or chemical company in which he has implicit confidence. He
knows that every medicinal substance on the shelves of his prescription
room has been subjected to strict tests and analyses to insure its purity,
quality, and strength. He would use no drug which hadn’t been so tested.
Even with this knowledge, however, the pharmacist fills every pre-
scription with a deep sense of personal responsibility. He checks and
rechecks every ingredient he uses and every step in his compounding
technic. He examines the contents of each bottle carefully as he takes
it from the shelf. He looks at it critically, he may take the stopper out
and smell it, he may even taste a bit of it. He fills every prescription
with the exacting care he would exercise if the medicine were for a
member of his own family.
The drugs he uses are old friends to your pharmacist. He met them
first in his early days at college and he has worked with them daily ever
since. Their color, texture, odor, and taste are closely associated in his
mind with their actions and their uses. «
It is second nature for the pharmacist to check drags by sight, by
taste, and by smell. His knowledge and training are as much a part of
the yescriptioc he fills as are

ihe Nation Has to Tax Somebody
Every time the hard-pressed Congressmen
attempt to find some source of revenue to enable
the government to meet its tremendous expenses,
there are loud objections and pessimistic prophe-
cies of what will happen if the tax is voted.
The National Association of Manufacturers
and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce are among the
first to yell disaster when any tax threatens to
touch the pocketbooks of manufacturers or busi-
ness men. The same story is heard about al-
most any tax that touches any object. It is
asserted by paid representatives of the associa-
tions that the result will be utter ruin and that
the producer will be priced out of the market.
This is the natural reaction of nearly every-
laidy but what the critics seem to overlook is that
tiie goverhment has to have money and to get
money there must be taxation. It would be nice
for tiie manufacturers and business men if all the
taxation could lie borne by the consumer but,
before tiie government gets wh it it needs for de-
fense and other operations, there will be addiA
tional taxation for Everybody.

This Story Has A Fishy Smell
There are many events chronicled in the daily
press that we fail to understand. This may be
due to our ignorance, or it may be due to the in-
adequacy of the reports that we read.
An example of this mystery comes from In-
diana, where a young doctor has turned down
a reserve commission to avoid becoming ‘‘just
linother Army pill-roller." He preferred to ac-
cept training as a $75-a month private, rather
than the $400 a month he would receive as a
First Lieutenant, plus a $100 bonus for signing up,
under the Army program to attract doctors into
the service.
The young man, despite his reaction, does not
seem to object to receiving benefits from the
Army. After beginning as an infantryman in

tion that provides for the use of doctors who have

ernment expense.
It seems to us that if the Afmy was good
enough to provide part or all of his .training as
a mt dieal i.iun, i, ought to be good enough to re-
ceive some of tiie benefits of the training that he
received. Moreover, there seems to be something

OPPORTUNITY FOR YOUNG MEN
A referee in a judicial proceeding it one who hears a case, con-
siders the evidence and the argument of attorneys and then makes a
dociMon.
The pay of referees is not high, as a rule, but, in a recent case
b the State of New York. • Taftrec was awarded a $175,000 fee.
The railroad, involved in a tax case, which will have to pay a $12.-
000,000 sum was "arbitrary and entirely exorbitant.” We do not know
' how long the referee had to work in connection with the case he de-
cided. but if the fee is uphled. there seems to be an opening for ambi-
tious young men who want to make money. They should be referees.

Army of the Future In the Air
In the biggest Army-Air Force training exercise since
the end of World War II, recently held in North Carolina,
4,000 paratroopers dropped in an exhibition of how the
"Army of the future might operate.”
Newspaper reports say that heavy weapons and equip-
ment, formerly carried by gliders, were pulled out rtf the
rear of flying "box-cars" and sent to the earth beneath
huge 96-foot nylon ’chutes. The equipment included field
artillery pieces and jeeps, as well as lighter paraphernalia.
While the drop was part of a large-scale field maneu-
ver, involving the use of more than 100,000 men, the pro-
cedure leads some officers to envision an aerial attack in
which men will not only be dropped to the battleground
but also supplied by air.
A RECORD, WE PRESUME
From Kentucky comei ihe itory of a man and woman, who have
been married for the fifth time. Their first four marraige» ended in
divorce.
The farm couple, each »ixty-one years old, were married the first
time in 1912. They have len children, fifty grandchildren and several
great-grandchildren.
This, as far as we know, is something of a record. What it means,
however, escape* us and we respectfully refer the problem to any of
our readers who might know the answer.
1. What great conqueror and
emperor made his infant son
"King of Rome?"
2. Which was the first state
to be admitted to the Union after
the first Thirteen? >
3. Who is the author of the
Dr. Fu Manchu stories?
4. Who was named “1951
Father of the Year?"
5. In what year was Harry S.
Truman nominated for President
by the Democrats?
6. Who is Chancellor of West
Germany?
7. Where do you find the
statement. “Love suffereth long
and is kind?"
8. What world-famed feminine
religious leader died, in 1950?
9. In Longfellow’s poem, what
was the name Evangeline’s sweet-
heart?
10. What physical difference is
there between the African and
Indian elephant?
