part of the week. Inspected the two
places that had been saloons before
the town went dry and was not able
to find any Infraction of the law. He
also visited tho KhIiicikIu pharmacy. It
appears that the government license
of this place expired on July 1, and
us Mr. Surface does not wish to sell
malt or spirituous liquors he neglected
to renew the license and Instructed
the clerk to refuse to fill any prescrip
tions that would violate the U. S. lawM.
Hy some mistake or thoughtlessness
a prescription containing alcohol was
tilled on July 3, without the knowledge
of Mr. Surface. Mr. Surface says that
when the Inspector called for his pro
, scrlptlon file ho was ready to bet live
hundred dollars that he hud a clear
bill. Hut this little US-cent prescrip
tion stood ngntust him and It waa the
(only ono In the list. The finding of
! this makes It necessary for the drug
' store to tako out a government license
and pay an additional sum as a fine.

license ho will not bo less strict In
his orders to refrain from selling any
thing that could bo used as an Intoxi
