The Missouri Retail Merchants' Association held its Fourteenth Annual Meeting at Kirksville, August 26 and 27. O. J. Cloughly was a delegate from the St. Louis R. D. A. and submitted to that organization a detailed report. The merchants of Missouri endorsed the pure advertising movement and the form of law covered by the St. Louis ordinance. An effort will be made to amend the present law which allows only 10 per cent of a debtor's income upon judgment in the justice courts. A larger and more equitable per cent should be allowed. The Stevens Bill, H. R. 13305, was endorsed. The convention decided that numerous cases throughout the United States show that advantage is being taken of the National Bankruptcy Law in detriment and hardship to the retail merchants. An amendment will be urged by the association.

An extended sketch of the important events in the early history of the publication was given in our Silver Anniversary issue for April, 1905.

No. 9, Volume X., September, 1889.-Sabbath rest is treated in this number editorially and by correspondence from Cincinnati. It seems that an epidemic of righteousness had broken out in what was then known as "Porkopolis." The pharmacists were very much worried for fear they would be obliged to close their places of business on the Sabbath Day. At the same time the pharmacists of St. Louis were working for a Sunday closing understanding whereby at least a part of the Sabbath would be set apart from the routine of a week-day publc service. MEYER BROTHERS DRUGGIST'S editorial advice to the excited Cincinnatians was, "Close up when requested by the authorities and it will not be long before the excitement cools off and people fall back into the old ruts." Evidently the Sabbath Observance Law was short-lived and our pharmaceutical friends "over the Rhine," have, no doubt, forgotten this bit of history, made in 1889. The The Ill. Ph. A. was reported as being 4,000 strong. The association had re-organized and made every registered pharmacist in the state a member. Notation was made of the fact that only two papers were read at the August 13 meeting, held in Quincy. Reference was made to the "excellent line of entertainment." The death of Henry Shaw, in St. Louis, August 25, at the age of ninety years, was the occasion for a review of his active and useful life. Shaw's Garden (Missouri Botanical Garden) is a point of interest in St. Louis for all local and visiting pharmacists. EASY TO CUT PRICES.-Think well before meeting all of the cut rates that are started by all of your competitors. It is easier to get prices down than it is to boost them.
