THE NEW DRUG LAW APPROVED BY CONGRESS Goes Into Effect March Ist, 1915 This Act makes It unlawful to produce, im port. manufacture, compound, ileal in. dispense, prescribe, sell, distribute, give away. send. ship, carry, deliver or have in one's possession or con trol. any drug embraced in the Act, unless such person has registered his name and place of business with the Collector of Internal Revenue nf his district, and paid a special tax of one dollar, annually. The purpose of this law is to restrict the sale of Habil-Forming Drugs GORGAS' DRUG STORES did not wait for laws to regulate the sale of "Habit- Forming Drugs." They were among the first to take individual action in restricting their sale. On July 15, 1914. the Gorgas Drug Stores formally announced through the newspapers that they would not sell Opium, Morphine. Laudanum, Heroin, Chloral, Co caine, etc., except on the written prescription of a reputable physician. The high standard of the Gorgas Drug Stores is an assurance to the public that there is care and integrity back of every sale. GORGAS' REXALL DRUG STORES 16 N Third St. Penna. Railroad Station Coal and " Clinkers" Don't always blame the coal if you find "clinkers" in your furnace. Clinkers are often the result of the way the fur nace is handled. The feed door should never be left open, as cold air rushes in and deadens the fire and causes clink ers by suddenly chilling the hot coals, which are in a plastic condition. The fire will settle down into a solid mass and you will have trouble to remove the ashes. The best coal is liable to clinker from this cause. United Ice & Coal Co.

TIE VOTE ON SHIP BILL NOW POSSIBLE With Return of Newlands and Smith, Fight in Senate Takes New Aspect MARSHALL MAY BE CALLED Republican Leaders in Conference to Consider New Plans of Action Bv Asstciattd Ptfss Washington. Feb. B.—The lull in the battle in the Senate over the admin istration ship purchasing bill came to an end to-day. The Senate had been in recess since F.iday. Meantime the Democratic leaders had been waiting for the arrival of Senator Newlands to reinforce their side. The motion of Senator Clarke to re commit the shipping bill without in structions still was pending with in dications that it would be allowed to come to a vote. Kven with the vote of Senator Newlands the Democatle leaders admitted that they could not defeat the Clarke motion. The leaders, however, are pinning their hopes on the motion of Senator Gore to discharge the commerce com mittee fro mfurther consideration of I a substitute ship purchase bill which ! he Introduced last week. They are confident that with the support of pro gressive Republicans they can carrv the Gore motion. In that event the substitute bill would be brought back to the Senate and tht Republicans would be compelled to resume their defensive light. With the arrival of Senator New lands and Senator Smith, of South Carolina, the parliamentary situation was changed. Senator Smith had not been expected to return on account of serious illness in his family. With hts vote and that of Senator Newlands. administration leaders claimed a tie vote on the motion to recommit with instructions. Then the Vice-president would be relied upon to cast the de ciding vote. As soon as Republican leaders learned of the return of Senators Nelands and Smith, a conference was called to consider plans of action. Reading Men at Work With Their Wages Cut Reading. Pa.. Feb.
