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.

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.

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

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.
