QUALITY-SERVICE-SAFETY
QUALITY
isthe one vital fundament of drugs. Drugs exist
only of the deepest human need. Like food they
are primarily related to the first laws of Nature—
self-preservation. The world-may exist or it may
get sick on second-class food, but it cannot get well
on second-class drugs.
SERVICE
measures the scope or breadth everywhere that
comprises quality, uniformity, unfailing supply,
quick distribution, economy of price, and of time.
But the greatest of these —the basis of service—is
quality.
SAFETY
in its buying, selective in a world sense, perfect in
equipment, scrupulously exact in the entire pro
ceeding, preparation, packing,handling, comput
ing, labeling and even delivery methods that it em
ploys, which means safety to our customers.

THE GOOD ROAD
i ERA ENTERING
I
j The sentiment for good roads is as
; serting itself in this state in no un
mistakable way. It is no Monger heard
(among our people that they want good
j roads but are not able to pay for them,
and that it would be a crime to settle a
j debt on posterity, etc. This flimsy,
threadbare excuse lias served its pur-
I pose (if it ever had one) and lias been
l passed on to a well-deserved oblivion.
The talk now is altogether different
The people want good roads, and ate
willing to pay for them. They know
they are one of tlie best investments
they can make. They also know they
are one of the best investments they
can make. They also know that roads
can not be built and kept up with long
winded excuses and political apologies.
Theer is now <iuite a sentiment in
the state to call the legislature together
in extraordinary session in order to
put through: special legislation that will
give the slate a proper functioning
highway commission. The Citizen is not
prepared to endorse an extr.a session of
the legislature unless it is absolutely
necessary to secure Ihe Government
money appropriated for this state
which is now lying Idle-in Washington
because 'little politics” has been play
ed in this state by certain officials
; who should be asKamed of themselves.
The legislature meeis in .June, a little
over four months from now, and it
would seem, looking at it from a com
mon sense point of view, the legislation
necessary to enable the state to have
good roads could wait until then. If
this can be done, however, thus de
feating the good roads project, then by
all means let an extra session be called.
If this is really necessary, then the
points should be explained so the peo
ple could understand. Extra sessions of
the legislature are not popular in this
state, without just reasons, hut if the
people feel an extra session is neces
sary in order to make good roads a re
ality, there would be few to enter ob
jections.
It is proposed that the state issue
forty million dollars worth of bonds to
build a system of good highways, and
that a special tax lie put on automo
biles to take care of the interest and
provide a sinking fund for the redemp
tion of these bonds. This is a most feas- ,
ible plan, and one if properly carried
out, will insure a system of perman
ent highways in Georgia. Speaking
with referenece to this bond issue, the
Atlanta Journal says:
Under the plan now suggested
such bonds would be cared for
through a special tax ,on motor
vehicles: but by whatever means
this particular part of the enter
prise may tie handled, a bond is
sue that will give Georgia durable
roads throughout her realm will.
be the surest'economy the State
eoud adopt and the soundest in
vestment it could make.
The people are willing, to. pay for
good roads because they know that
j these, whatever the cost, will
prove incomparably cheaper than
j poor roads. Let the movement to
this end now so auspeiousjy under
way be pressed to consummation.
From ail sides and from every one
we hear nothing against good roads.
From the mountains to the st-a the
same sentiment prevails, and, judging
from reports from various sections of
the state, the same conditions prevail,
namely, there are no roads worth a
tinker’s dam, the most prominent fea
ture about them being their cost which
has gone for naught so far as real roads
are concerned, but which can be charg
ed off to profit and loss, on the assump
tion that it was necessary to make the
expendiutre in order to prove that the
best roads in the long run are the
cheapest. They save the farmers’ horse
drawn vehicles, as well as motor ve
hicles. They enable the farmr to re
duce the cost of marketing, in that la
can reach the markets with a maxi
mum load at a minimum cost. They in
crease the social benefits of the rural
communities by making easy of ac
cess the homes of neighbors, churches
and schools. There is no argument a
gainst good • roads. Theae is a world
of them against bad ones. —Dallas Cit
