FOR YOUR
PROTECTION
Tbo prescription department is the important
part of any drag store. Oar's is modern in
every repect. , In the character of the drags
used, in the methods of compounding, in the
skill of oar pharmacists, it is thoroughly np-to-date.
We believe that tbe set vice rendered
haa a value for you beyond any money value,
a Ad it costs you uothing extra whatever. Our
prices are as low as good prescription work cau
be done anywhere, - Lower than the usual cost
in most places. !
The Lectuer
The great majority of our citizens
missed ths opportunity of enjoying an
inteleotnal feast by not bearing Prest
on W Search on the subject "Face to
Face with Great Ideals " The speak-
er announced last night if any one of
the three lectures which he is to de
liver In this oity was premlnent, tbe
subject tonight "Maelo in the Father
land" was entitled to that honor. An
hour spent hearing such a .cultured
man anrely is up lifting, from the
ordinary oars of every dey life and
assists in bettering tbe life of every
bearer. Unless circumstance present,
you cannot afford to absent yoursslf
from the lecture tonight.
