A PRESCRIPTON The other day I bought a coupleof boxes of cirgarettes from a druggist As he was wrapping up some other purchases I amused myself by weighing those two boxes ou the scales. The boxes were indentlcal in brand, package and to all outward appearances they were twins. , One weighed a little more than the other. "Look here." I said to the drugclerk, "is there anything the matter with your scales?" "No," he said, "this box weighs more than the other, the scales are so accurate that the slightest variation in the tightness with which those flrgarettes are wrapped shows on those scales." . I put a small straw in the pan of one of the scales and it showed the effect Immediately. ' "Those scales are mighty sensitive," I remarked. 'They have to be." said the Druggist. "Some of our prescriptions are so Important that the slightest variation In the weight might kill a man when a smaller amount would send him out to enjoy this spring weather."

' So the drug business depends on Accuracy, Carefulness and Honesty. IT IS A PUBLIC SERVICE. A great many of us WOULD LIKE TO KNOW SOMETHING OF THE THINGS WB PUT INTO OUR UNSUSPECTING STOMACHS. LACKING THAT, WE WOULD LIKE TO KNOW THE CARE THAT DRUGGISTS TAKE. . A mighty interesting story could be made out of the drug business. If I OWNED A DRUG STORE I WOULD TELL PEOPLE SOMETHING OP WHAT MY BUSINESS MEANT TO ME. I would take them in behind that glass partition and explain about how careful, how accurate, how HONEST I FELT I OUGHT TO BE. I would tell them something new every day something that I happened to be thinking about my business. I think that there Is no way to Interest people except ' BY TAKING THEM INTO YOUR CONFIDENCE. THEY APPRECIATE WHAT YOU ARE TRYING TO DO AND CAN SEE YOUR SINCERITY.

There is a druggist In this town who IS BEGINNING TO WAKE UP TO THE VALUE OF ADVERTISING. He wants to tell everyone in this county about his business. HE WANTS AN HONEST REPRESENTATIVE. That representative should have the stamp of HONESTY AND CONVICTION IF IT IS TO TELL PEOPLE ABOUT THE SINCERITY OF THE DRUG BUSNESS.

This druggist and one of our advertsing men were having a talk about advertising, day before yesterday. "I am very much Interested In where my money is going." "I have a contract with two of the local papers. One expires very shortly and the other expires in a month." v "Well before you close, your contract with us or any other paper I advise you to Investigate Circulation. We ask you to Investigate ours. WE KNOW THAT IF YOU INVESTIGATE OUR CIRCULATION YOU WILL BE SO IMPRESSED WITH THE HONESTY OF OUR CIRCULA

TION "AND COT CONVINCED OF THE VALUBOFTAf3KnfO SKWMXr-. DAY TO OUltTRIENDS THAT YOU WILL GIVE US MORE SPACE

AND A LARGER CONTRACT." i " If the druggist does not appreciate the value of honesty and sincerity In his business no one will. The scrupulous nicety of his scales is an Inanimate witness to his appreciation of HIS IDEA AS TO WHAT HE OWES HIS CUSTOMERS. We believe that HONESTY AND SICERITY in any business are the things which ATTRACT TRADE and MAKE BUSINESS. WE ARB NOT PREACHING A SERMON TO DRUGISTS THAT . WE DO NOT FOLLOW. We want that man to examine our circulation. No honest business man who deals in A BUSINESS WHICH HE HAS BUILT UP BY TRUTH TELLING DESIRES ANY THING MORE THAN THAT PEOPLE SHALL INVESTIGATE HIS PRODUCT. We believe that the more our circulation is Investigated the mora it will be used AS A MEDIUM FOR TELLING THE SINCERITY OF THE GOODS OF HONEST MERCHANTS.

IISHIICY HAS FOUND FOOTHOLD III THE COUNCIL Some of the City Fathers Im patient Over "Do Nothing Policy Regarding Improving Streets. MAYOR ATTACKS THE OLD ADMINISTRATION Councilman Evans Advises Less Slaps at Schillinger Crowd and More Statements of Plans of Mayor. Insurgency ia rapidly gaining a footbold in the city council. Although no open ruptures have occurred those who are opposed to the "do nothing" policy of Mayor Zimmerman in regard to the Improvement of the streets are becoming bolder at each meeting aad last evening this spirit manifested Itself frequently .when street Improvement matters were brought up. Mayor Zimmerman holds that the city should not make any permanent Improvements this year because it would have to borrow the money. Council wants some Improvements made thts year, fearing that If an attempt is made to do all the proposed work next year the city will be more embarrassed then than at present and unable to carry out all the pledges the administration has made. ; The city's chief executive blame the Schillinger administration for the present condition of the city treasury and has never lost an opportunity to say a.

shots at his predecessor. His statement will be found In full elsewhere in this issue. : s Evans Offers Advice. After he had completed the reading of the paper Councilman Evans of the Second ward addressed the chair and said that he thought council was spending too much time talking about what the democrats had done. He advised the present administration to talk about what It is going to da In the matter of the improvement of North Fifth street from Main to D, councilmen again expressed dissatisfaction. An ordinance proposing the construction of cement sidewalks, curbs and gutters on both sides of the street was up for third reading. Council was Informed that it would be useless to pass the ordinance, because the property owners could not be compelled to pay the assessments for the improvement. This was due to a technicality of the law and councilmen were much displeased because it had not been explained before. According to the law the ordinance should have been passed within sixty days after a remonstrance had been filed when the matter was before the board of works. The ordinance was before the board last fall. Councilmen said that they had never been informed that council could not pass an ordinance effecting street improvement without the measure coming from the board of works. Councilman Evans said that he would see that a petition was presented to the board for the improvement of the street and that council would attend to the matter in conformity with the law. Clashes With the Mayor. Upton A. Dafber, a resident of North Fifth street who wants the improvement made, and who has been a regular attendant at the council sessions for the last four meetings, addressed Mayor Zimmerman. The two engaged in a heated argument over the improvement of the street Mayor Zimmerman and council did agree on the matter of removing express wagons and moving vans from the streets. Mayor Zimmerman believes that either a public hitching place should be established or the expressmen be compelled to take up stand on South Third and Fourth streets, adjacent to the court house property. Mayor Zimmerman appointed Councilmen Bartel, Thatcher and Williams as a committee to Investigate (Continued on Page Seven.)

Judge McSudely immediately issued a new capias for the arrest o .Browne,,, ed. This action developed a fact that Browne was under no bond In Judge McSurely's court, his bond becoming nullified when bond was furnished in Judge Scanlan's court. The complexity of the legal situation served to delay the bribery trial of Browne, who is not now under arrest. The Federal Court may next week be asked for habeas , corpus writ by Browne's attorneys.

Visitors to Richmond from over the state who will be here during the closing week of June to attend the annual meeting of the Indiana municipal league, will be the guests at a banquet while in the city, . Through the generosity of the Commercial Club, a big banquet is being planned which will be free to every visiting delegate, and a committee composed of George Dilka, C. D. Slifer and John Zwissler has been appointed to confer with the league committee on arrangements in regard to the matter. The action of the board of directors of the Commercial Club Is an act of to-ope ration with the council committee, and assuredly the banquet is planned in order that Richmond may not suffer in comparison with other cities that have entertained the municipal league. Secretary Haas stated this morning that without a banquet In honor of the visitors Richmond could not consider its entertainment program complete, and that the Commercial Club had stepped into the breach when it seemed that the other committee was unable through lack: of funds to attend to this important detail The only arrangements that have been made are concerning the price per plate to members of the club, which, will be $L The committee Is to confer . with the council committee this evening and at that time the- date and probably the place of the banquet will be determined. No expense will be spared to make the affair a complete success and worthy- the reputation of the Commercial club. . May Festival Report. The Commercial club directors also had before them the financial report of the May Mnsic Festival. All bills have been paid and every Item settled with the exception of the fee to be paid Mr. Hurst of Cincinnati, who

substituted for Gwilym Miles In the rendition of the "Elijah." The report shows that the receipts were in excess of $1,900 and that there will probably be a credit balance of about $300 when a final settlement is made. In connection with the non-appearance of Mr. Miles, the erratic baritone who had been engaged to sing in the closing concert but who failed to reach Richmond, F. B. Edwards, manager of the singer, submitted correspondence

showing that Miles had no one to blame for his confusion of dates and apologizing for the baritone's actions. , Against Increased Rates. In an effort to prevent the proposed increase of freight rates which the railroads east of Chicago and north of the Ohio river have announced becoming effective on July 1, the committee on steam railroads last night recommended that the directors of the Commercial club telegraph to the attorney general of the United States beseeching his interference in favor of the shippers of this section, , and urging action similar to that taken at the request of the president against the western railroads a few days ago. A mesage is to be sent at once, Richmond joining the commercial bodies of cities all over the middle west in the effort to have the order for .the increase nullified. New Secretary Delayed. ' The committee on electric railroads reported that on account of complaints received concerning the congestion of street cars at the corner of Eighth and Main streets at certain hours of the day the manager of the electric system had been visited and urged to restore the old belt line . car. which would give seven and a halt minute service.

They will meet in the club rooms at 7:30 and go to the scene of the celebration In the Jones' Hardware company's new automobile dray. Secretary Edgar M. Haas has been delegated to congratulate the west siders upon securing the fire protection which the new hose house represents. The board instructed the secretary to correspond with the member of con-, gress from this district and likewise with the senators from Indiana, urging New Orleans as the proper place for holding the exposition which is to commemorate the completion of the Panama canal in 1915. This action was taken in response to a telegram received by the elub from the governor of Louisiana. A letter was received this morning from Clyde Graves of Grand Forks, North Dakota, who was recently named to succeed E. M. Haas as secretary of the club, that owing to the serious illness of his wife he will he unable to report for duty in : Richmond until early in July. THE WEATHER. INDIAN A Fair and warmer tonight.
