A solemn thought comes to my mind; Suppose your eyeteeth all went blind: Do You Work for Fun? "Count that day lost Whose low descending sun If any man after a warm discussion in business, or a slight difference of opinion with his wife, or a little interview with the little chap who argues that the shirt was put on that way in the morning and getting wet was an accident; if this man will go off to some quiet place, load his favorite pipe and think it over with determination to get the other party's point of view as well as his own, there'll be an astonishingly large amount of sunshine resulting.[Marshall W. Field. Flowers for the Living-Why wait until a man is dead to scatter the owers? They really do him no good then, they only express our love and respect. Why not do this while the poor fellow is still here in this old world with us? There are many poor souls struggling along life's highway whose hearts yearn for just a little love and sympathy, and a bouquet composed of kindly words and sympathy would make them feel that life, after all, is worth while. So, instead of waiting until life is over, let us cultivate the art of scattering flowers of sympathy, love and kindness today, that those around us may be happier in knowing that they are indeed appreciated.-[John H. Brown. Not a fish story, but just a statement of facts by Dr. Beal. The A. Ph. A. delegation as guests of the Denver pharmacists while en route to San Francisco had much to entertain them. Not the least pleasing was the collection of excellent stories well told by E. L. Scholtz, of Denver. It was very incidental that Mr. Scholtz happened to mention that Colorado trout jumped out of the water and took the fisherman's bait away from him. Dr. James H. Beal has a half a mile of lake front in Canada. He was surprised at the voracious habits of Colorado trout und admitted that the fish in Canada did nothing more than gently nibble at his trouser legs in order to attract attention as they begged for the bait. Inex The Old-Fashioned Drug Store is No More orable change has not spared even the drug store. It shows marks from the onslaught of diversified commercalism. Many of the Kansas druggists, who are in annual meeting in Wichita today, are strangers The to the one-ideaed shops their fathers kept. modern medicine dispensary, where the cure-alls, the cure-somes and the cure-nones await takers, is minus the dear old smells it once had. The pharmaceutical odors of yesterday we know no more. Strange fumes are rampant. The drug store ozone is heavy with new scents. The change is due to the recent popular innovation of grafting young restaurants, with the usual appurtenances pertaining thereto, onto the bodies of fullgrown apothecaries. Our familiar and much-feared old friend, carbolic acid, no longer hangs over the prescription case unmolested as high chief fumigator. He has a rival. It comes from a pot of boiled beef and cabbage odorously stewing away in the stock room. Thanks-or otherwise to modern merchandising methods. The aroma of the quick lunch has taken all the bravado out of our former acquaintance asafetida. Even the illest smelling of the ill, ammonia valerianate, is meek before the new order of things. Carbon disulphide now speaks only in whispers in the presence of onions frying in the miniature kitchenette located somewhere between the case of cosmetics and the hair goods. Long-distance formaldehyde, which used to come half way up the block to howdydo us, is outrun by the garlic in the chile. Gone is the timorous, delightful extract of rose, subdued by the louder-than-thou pork roast sizzling in the vicinity of the manicure department. Call the roll as loudly as you will and sweet cardamom of old answers not. Swallowed up. Likewise absent are the once welcome whiffs of lavender and bergamot and lilac, all undistinguishable in the rich aroma of Mocha and Java blend which is percolating nearby. And, kindly spread over these once-cherished olfactory delights, is an appetizing mantle of steaming vegetable soup-served a la carte at all hours with a plump olive and a salted cracker on the side. These are the modern manifestations of the new era drug store that, without reducing its compounding efficiency, have made it the popular meeting place of the community, the last word in elegance and the first word in business smartness and long profits. -[Editorial in the Wichita Beacon.
