seems insignificant to suggest that

warehouse fire as given in Tues­

The only reason there was no more
errors in it was that there were no
more statements. That there was

In keeping our drug store open is to put up
prescriptions, and that keeps us fairly busy—
with more business in sight. Our shop is often
full, but we will make room for you long euoupn
to take your order and will fill it from fresh m -

Incidentally (and why not), we supply many
people in this vicinity with toilet articles, per­
fumes and stationery, and they think a lot of the
