Accuracy in the Dispensing of Drugs Not Dependent Upon the Memory Alone. Every druggist must have n ref erence library His business is one of much detail and lie cannot carry it all in bis mind. Distracting, mul tiplicity of names, complex chemical combinations, and similar but not identical compounds, are so profuse in pharmacy that the mind cannot retain it all, and so he must perforce refer to his books. It lias been said that a good student is lie that knows where to look for data, and that is very true in other matters as well ns in phar macy and medicine. Dp not think because your druggist turns to his books when he is waiting upon you that he doesn't understand his busi ness. It is evidence that he docs un derstand. I would rather trust the pharmacist whose reference hooks are often used than one who Inis few books and those as good as new. Memory is treacherous and some times plays its owner scurvy tricks. Everyone has hud experience that proves the truth of this assertion. How often you THINK you know, may b<‘ POSITIVE you know, and still find your memory has misled you. Somewhere in the intricate convolu tions of tiie brain there has been a false record, i.r a record that lias been obliterated. As the saying Is, "you have got your wires crossed." It is especially necessary to guard against litis "crossing of wires" in the drug man's brain, because of pos sible consequences. Therefore the wise druggist depends upon his books. Alums' every drug hits more limn one mime; some of them have several. These are called "synonyms," be cause they mean the same thing. For instance, Hydrastis is called Golden Seal, Yellow Hoot, Yellow Puc.coon, Gold Thread, and Indian Tu meric Not only must names be con sidered, hut usy the au thority of the American Pharmaceu tical Association, which is made up of delegates from the state associa tions. This book contains nothing that can lie found in the phar macopoeia but much that is not there many formulas for "non of fieal" preparations that are popular with physicians and with the public. The It. S. Dyspensatory is a large and comprehensive commentary on almost every drug and medicine that is known to tlie two professions. It is the druggists' encyclopedia and what lie cannot find between its cov ers he is gofiig to have a hunt for. These three books are the important ones, They are correct, ac curate, scientific. For further study the pharmacist may have Ills works on' botany, Chemistry,Materia Medica, Therapeutics, ills dose book, and even medical and veterinary books come handy. besides these volumes there are manj publications for the druggist's use put out by private enterprise that are of more or less value. These books publish a great mass of re ceipts, for till kinds of preparations medical, mechanical and otherwise Unit must he “tried out" before any dependence can lie placed upon them. Even the“tritnndard Formulary,”wliicli is n good one, contains much tlmt is worthless. This little library the druggist must familiarize himself with so that he will know where to find tlie informa tion he wants, and that lie may give good, intelligent service to his pa trons. Ills mind becomes a store house of varied information, but he must depend all tlie time upon his reference books, lest lie get "his wires crossed." A. M0R5MAN, M. D. Morsman Dru£ Co.

Letter From our Regular Correspond ent at Kansas City. Kansas City, May H'>, 1910. There was some readjustment in cattle prices last week, but charges were not great >n any class. Choice hard fat cattle are becoming scarce, and were firm all of last week, closing some higher for the week, and trad ers believe (hat finished steers will appreciate in value as tile summer advances. Medium class fed steers barely held their own in price, and the lower grades, which are more numerous came in for a decline of 10 to 20 cents. Cows and hehifers lost In to 25 cents, as they came in freely, and buyers saw an opportunity lo reduce them lo a position more in line withh prices of other cattle. The stockers and feeders met. a better demand than in recent weeks, hut closed without any net gall for the week, Imt with the yards well clean ed up of them. The run today is 8,000 cattle estimated, but the final count will raise this another thous and, and the market is steady to weak, he lower grades showing the weakness. With favorable weather, owners will likely he busy in fields for thhe next few weeks, and re ceipts are not likely to be of a vol ume that will work toward lower prices. Toy steers today broughht $8.00 hut prime quality would re'achh a quarter to forty cents higher than this price, hulk of steers $6.50 to $7.90, a few sales each day now un der $6.00, cows at $4.50 to $6 50, heif ers $5,00 to $7.35, bulls $4.25 to $6.25, calves $6.00 to $8.00, stockers $4.00 to $5.SO, feeders $5.00 to $6.25. Hog receipts here last week ex ceeded 53,000 head, and the total at the five leading markets was only forty thousand head less than cor responding week last year, and yet it was a full week, with prices closing 15 cents higher for the week. Run is 9,000 today, market 10 lower with some improvement at the close to day, to $9.42; bulk $9.25 to $9.40. Shipping demand has been firm for n week, and light height hogs sell inly five to ten cents under the heavy weights, l’igs are a quarter higher than a week ago. at $8.75 (o $9.00. .T. A.

Jle clings to the good old ways. He re sents being told to move along and woe be the man who dares assume the prophets's role in any community, especially if he be a poor man. This is the expected. It T regard ed as an affront to the Intelligence of the community when any one indi vidual in it undertakes to induce it to mend its ways. He assumes that the ways need mending, and further assumes that he knows how to mend them. Of course those who do not want tlteir ways mended are offend ed. This is human nature, so recog nized long ago by the proverb that a "prophet hath no honor in his own country." People who do not have a prejudice against him take his teaching for what thew are worth; wliil > those who know his resent his assumptions and become offended. It is strange how human nature works. You see it in religion, in pol ;tlos, iii business. Once let a man, by perseverance and clear statement of the truth in the ease of the teacher, or by perseverance and meri* whether in business or politics, become inde pendent of the neighbors, then they are united in praising him and re gard it as an honor that a man of that ability grew up in their neigh borhood. When you can no longer keep a man down, then the only thing to do is to push him up out of your road! Agriculture suffers very greatly from this stupidly blind prejudice against Hie man who prophesies in his own neighborhood. Prophesying here simply means teaching, not pre dicting. The sensible thing is to listen to what such a man has to say and consider his teachings well. Watch how he carries them out him self. Imitate his practices where successful, not blindly, but after as certaining why ho does thus and so. Wo have a good many blind imitators in farming. The wise farm er will not always do the same thing in the .same way. He -may adopt one method this year and directly the opposite the next year. If you ask him, he will give you his reasons. Now, if you imitate his example with out knowing the reason, you are al most certain to make a mistake, and then wonder why it did not work out with you the way !t did with him. We have all seen this often. To fact is that we are none of us too wise to learn from anybody else, if we will—the farmer, the merchant, the business man, the teacher, the preacher—no one man knows it all. It will not pay for the old farmer to assume that wisdom will die with him. If a man ever gets to a point where he is not willing to learn from any body, his usefulness is about at an end. That's the trouble with so many old men, old teachers, old preachers, old editors, as well as old farmers. In all lines of endeavoj there is constant progress. The man who imagines lie knows it all is always certain to be far behind the procession and to becomee a “has been."'—Wallace's Farmer. A Special Offer. The big daily papers find. it neces sary and profitable to keep increas ing their subscription list, and one of the fastest growers is the Lincoln State Journal. This splendid state daily lias just opened up another big subscription campaign, offering the paper till January 1, 1911 for only $2; with Sunday $2.50. This special rate will bring the business. The jour nal has a way of its own—cutting out a lot of expensive methods of getting subscribers and making the low rate to its readers direct. The people of the state as never before are looking to the Journal for the real doings in the state. It is build ing up its business through reliabil ity and enterprise, especially in cov ering tlie state news. Another good thing about the Journal is its policy of stopping every paper when the time is up. If you don’t pay for it you don't get it, and when you pay for it you only pay for your own paper, not helping to pay for the ono sent some deadbeat. You will like the cleancut methods of the Journal people. Law Courses Lengthened.
