A prescription is just as easy for a
druggist to fill as it is for a housewife to measure out
flour and sugar for a recipe, hut it is necessary that a
prescription he filled just so in order to get proper re
mit. Ask any doctor if this isn't the truth, then get your prescriptions
filled here. We know how to do it "just so" and you will get the re
sults intended. Wc can fill any prescription written.

Flour Mill Putting in Gas
Power Plant
This week while the editor of
the Monitor was out scouting for
news he saw a bunch of men
working in a hole near Indepen
dence Flouring Mill. Being of a
curious dispisition he investigated
and asked questions in order to
find out what was doing. He
learned they were putting in a
cement tank, in two sections,
large enough to hold two cars or
from 12,000 to 14,000 gallons of
crude oil. He found that this
was to be used in the operating
of their gas engine plant which
they are putting in for power
purposes, and which they
expect to use to run their mill.
This new gas engine has been
ordered for several months but
the company is back on orders
and they just received word a
few days ago that the machinery
would be shipped about August
20, and they arp now getting in
readiness to handle it. Mr,
Hoffman stated; "We expect to
use crude oil the same as most
engines use gasoline and being
able to get it very cheap, it will
make our running expenses low
er than with any other possible
to secure." The, new machine
is a new experiment in this sec
tion but it will be watched with
a great deal of interest by large
power using concerns.
Wm. Herzog to Improve
their Store
a stock from $15,000 to $20,000
and a large stock of new mens
and boys clothing and furnishing
will be added to the stock. Mr.
Herzog in speaking of the busi
ness to the editor of the Monitor
stated that he expected to put in
a very complete line of goods
would carry nothing but mens
rlothincr and would cater to
mens trade.
This town, he said, is just com
mencing to grow and we expect
to keep abreast with the times
and will add larger stocks just
as fast as we can create a de
mand for the goods.
