Around 1600 to 1625 we find the pharmacist selling sweets, preserved frnlni, brown patter plasters, hair powders and perfumes. In 1617, in Eng- | land, a new charter separated the apothecary from the grocer and he began to concentrate more upon drugs and to dispense. At a later date apothecaries virtually became physicians. They prescribed as well as dispensed and visited patients. The pharmacist was •Jjien practically a fully qualified practitioner. But gradually he had fewer and fewer drugs to dispense as prescribed. Today a city will often support only a few exclusive pharmacies and the' druggist lias fallen back upon side lines, quite as In the early days. This Is no new and riotous Indulgence on bls part; he has ample respectable I precedent.—T. Swann Harding in the American Druggist Magazine. Wedding Day Abuse The natives of Annam have an official who bears the title of master of sorrows. His duty is to curse in the house of a dead person to drive away evil spirits. This official also curses at wedding ceremonies. People who accompany a marriage procession to the bride’s house are abused.by the bride's family, in the belief that this will bring good fortune to the newly wedded pair. To avert evils during a new moon period these people throw stones into their neighbors’ houses. The curses that descend upon the heads of the throwers are believed to bring good luck to everybody concerned. Hence the day of t'-e new moon in India is called the day of stones. Bible in Philippines The Bible holds a unique place In the life of the Filipino people. Millions of Filipinos seldom read any other book and many of them believe the Bible is the only real book in the universe. The annual distribution of the Bible in the islands is greater than the combined circulation of all newspapers, exceeding 125,000 copies annually. No other book has attained a circulation in excess of 1,000 a Fear. More than one-third of these Bibles are in English, the others being in various native dialects. Most of them have been printed in Manila since the earthquake in Japan destroyed the plates, and the work constitutes the first publishing done in the islands. Toad Burnt as Witch I have always liked the country people in Austria so much that it gives me a shock to read a truly dreadful occurrence in that land, says a London Bally Chronicle contributor. A peasant's cows were attacked by some mysterious illness. A toad was found in the cowshed, and at once it was suggested that witchcraft had been at work; the witch had turned herself into a toad; the toad must be burned, burned the wretched toad was. "Idle the peasant walked rcund carr.'lng a crucifix. He was fined for cruelty, but what a state of appalling Ignorance the Incident uncovered I Stolen Goods Bobby, aged five, had just come home from the hospital and his aunt bought him a small tinker toy. While Bobby was playing with It his aunt remarked to another aunt that it had wst so much for such a small toy. Tbe other aunt said: “On, well, It is well constructed. It is made of steel." Bobby overheard them talking, and ’nid: “Oh, I heard you. You ‘steeled’ " You did, ‘cause 1 heard you say W.’’

Paris says: IF YOU would be smart, wear this color. If you would be in fashion, bob your hair this way. If you would be well-dressed, wear clothes simply designed as I make them. I I PARIS today sets the correct fashion in women’s clothes, for a waiting world, because with French > women dressing is a studied art. Their chic is supreme. THROUGH advertising, the genius of Paris is brought to the attention of thousands of American women. Tn Seattle, a charming lady wears the newest Paris hat. Tn Texas—a pretty girl chooses fashion’s newest necklace of sparkling crystal. An lowa newspane v advertises a copy of a Paris frock at a moderate price within ten weeks of its appearance in the French capital. IF you would be well-dressed—choose your clothes thriftily and successfully — wear them with style and charm, watch what the charming ladies in advertisements wear, and read what is written in the magic name of Paris. • 1 • Road the advertisements and you will not only read what Paris says, but what the women of America do.
