THE WEEKLY DEIIOCRAT-

We Realize the Importance
Of Properly Compounding
PRESCRIPTIONS.
Tin* founder of tlii- business was a pliy>ieian who realized
tlic hi till impoVtanct' of properly compounding prescrip-
tions. In thoxe early days of the history fil this store tin ex-
pert hail charge of this depurtinent. I ut as time passed
wonderful improvements have hoen made. There is how-
ever one tiling that remains t lie same and is I NOHANCrK
AMIiK and that is STRICT JU'LKS which will not permit
substitutes and compels EX ACTXJOHN. Today we employ
pharmacists of many years of experience who take a de-
light in carrying out these rules which they realize are to
the interest of our patrons.
Registered pharmacists handle AM- prescriptions coming
to this store with the accuracy and promptness which has
made this department in high estimation of the people.
Reliability is u big word with a broad meaning but we
have no hesitancy in saying that this department is
THOROUGHLY RELIABLE. With every prescription you
bring to this store we feel the seriousness of the trust
which von have placed in us and therefore fill them COR
RECTLY.

Hobby has no ob-
jection to offer.
The Texas Kxecu-
tlve ho expressed
htlliHelt ill u tele,
li ru rn Mint Sutur-
< lit V to President
Wilson. Tin- t< le-
(iiiV. HOBBY. grum follows:
"I have no objection to offer to
IIxiIIu, the price of cotton If it bo
ileeineil iiccfMHui) an one of those
measure.-! towuril winning the war.
The well being alUl the welfare of
Texan, however. is vitally Involved in
ihe tl\iug of a price that 'Will not
briny; ruin or disaster to the business
interests of this Ktate, whose credits
and commitments this your ure based
upon a price for cotton that in-
hales the cost of production, plus a
small or reasonable profit. Not only
as the greatest producing state, but
as a state whose commercial back-
bone is cotton, I auk that you tuko
into < onsidcralion that which will
avoid sudden financial destruction to
Texas, as would be the case in event
a price Ih fixed which -would not com-
pensate the ('armor for the production
of the crop or would permit a sub-
stantial shrinkage in the. holdings of
the merchants and bankers who have
; taken over a grout portion of this
year's crop at prevailing prices. \
"In view of the small yield per acre
on account of the unprecedented
drouth In Texus and the unusual cost
of production, for reasons well
known, I -would consider that a price
below 35c would prove extremely
hurtful, and in view of the part Texas
takes in winning the war 1 feel that
I am justified in asking that no price
be set below the ngure named if view-
ed from the standpoint of the na-
tional Interest, because a blow to
Texas' most vital industry now would
weaken Texas in the grout war work
