comes in that costs so much to
■ fill that it seems like the cost is
prohibitive. A small bottle of
some remedies will cost you
five dollars. Another time you
may get a large bottle of medi-
cine for twenty-five cents and
the cheap preparation is just as
important to you as the one
that jmsts so much. ' If it is
what ydu need the cost is a
matter that does not enter into
the importance. Remember
your life is at stake every time
you take a dose of medicine.
The medicine itself may not
harm you but if the druggist
makes a mistake you may be
harmed. Be careful who fills
your prescriptions.

PARIS, Feb. 16—Well informed per-
sons here who recently left Berlin de-
clare that the German officials believe

would take so long for the United States
to get ready the war would be over
with before American war measures
could make any appreciable figure in
the war. ’ ,
