The Atlanta convention of the Na
tional Association of Retail Druggists
Is over, but Its work will he felt
throughout the years to come. It la the
opinion of the delegates that the meet
ing of 1908 accomplished more, was a
longer atep forward, than any conven
tion since the organisation.
The direct contract serial number
ing plan, long advocated by leading
dealers, was the great Issue of the con
vention, which went on record as fa
voring It. Under this system all pro
prietary medicines are to be sold to re
tailers at a uniform price of $2, $8 and
$8 a dosen, all packages are to be num
bered serially so that any package may
be traced to its seller, and retailers
must sign a contract not to cut the
price below that set by the manufac
turer. Some of the larger manufac
turers have already adopted the sys
tem, others hnve stood out against it
through fear that their competitors will
gain a lead In sales. But with the sen
timent of the association so strongly
In favor of the system It Is believed
that every large proprietor will now
take up the plan and stick to It rigor
ously.
The convention went on record as
favoring the pure food law. It advo
cated a better test In educational lines
for candidates for pharmaceutical di
plomas. but refused to requlro a college
diploma. Many matters of Importance
were discussed nnd settled.

SOME OF THE CLOWNS
OF THE BIG SHOW
A circus without clowna would be
almost tragic. The ''thrillers” with
which the modern circus performance
l» Interspersed would pall upon the
audience, no matter how daring or
deeth-defying If the tenalon was not
relieved, at Intervals, by the merry
intlcii of the Qrimatdle. The manage,
ment of the Barnum A Bailey Oreateat
Show on Earth, which exhibits In At-
Itnta Friday and Saturday, October
has recognised this fact by or
ganizing for the current eeaaon a com
pany of forty clowne, each one of
whom Is said to be a specialist and
comedian. These clowns are Intro
duced throughout the program In such
* way n, to keep the audience alter-
®*<lngly spellbound and roaring with
laughter.
Among the big show's merry* makers
are many of International reputation.
Spader Johnson, who la unlveraally
known ns the creator of the clown
nand, has furnished merriment for au
dience* a» over the world; Innocentl
and Albertlno are two French clowna
who are Introducing some novel Ideas
In acrobatic fun to the American pub
lic; the Brothers Kennard are Ameri
can clowns of originality, and Dan
Marvelle, a French clown, utilises u
trick pony in a series of funny In
terludes. Ryan, Zorella and BArtlott, a
trio of Imported laugh-creators of clev
erness and reputation, also contribute
to the lighter side of the circus enter
tainment, and Steve Mlaco Is a fun-
maker of originality.

BIG AND WITTY CHARLES HUHN
MADE HIT OF THE CONVENTION
JOHN FOSTER COMPANY "SUSM?
Charles Huhn, of Minneapolis, made
the hit of the N. A. R. D. convention
In his speech Thursday afternoon, pie-
■entlng a sliver loving cup to Simon
N. Jones, of Louisville, retiring chair
man of the executive committee.
Mr. Huhn Is as broad ns he Is long,
nnd he lived squarely up to the tradi
tion that men of mighty avoirdupois
are witty and gimd-humored. He
stood before the great crowd of fellow
pill-rollers In the convohtlnn hall fair
ly exuding fun. It dimpled his big
face and shone In his eyes. It caught
his audience before lie began speaking
Then. In a deep voice, through which
r«n a timbre of melody pleasing to th*
ear, he began:.
"I came from the great city of the
far Northwest—Minneapolis—to the
fair and hospitable city of the South
—Atlanta—unarmed. I find I made no
mistake In doing so. I came her# to
add—aye, hurl—the full :40 pounds
of my avoirdupois Into the deliberations
of the N. A. U. D. Do not get nervgus,
my friends, I am not going to detain
you long."

after dlacussion. It went on record ns
strongly favoring the direct contract
plan; opposed the formation of a na
tional bank by the National Associa
tion of Retail Druggists; opposed the
sale by manufacturers to grocers and
mall order business; opposed the dis
play of rate figures; opposed the giv

opposed the giving of trading stamps;
that drug store experience of four years

an educational test be required; favors
passage of pure drug laws; that laws

anti-trust laws should not be used

done the fundamental Idea of the laws
Is wrong; that parcels post law will
work harm and Is to be deprecated;
that national legislation he enac(ed re
garding the sole of narcotics; that tha

matters of a minor Import.

nounced Its results and the new of
ficers were elected nnd Inducted Into
office at once. The llpt Is given above.
M. T. Breslln, the retiring president,
delivered an address, In which he paid
tribute to each of the new officers.

Guard was organised, to be composed

Moat of the vlaftors will remain un

In order to attend the barbecue Frida)
afternoon. The visitors are ununlmous
In praise of Atlanta and her hospital
ity.
Then pausing for a moment or two,
he added with' Inimitable drqltery:
"I have learned when to quit talking
—I am a married man. I differ from
our friend, Simon N. Jones, who has
gone up and down this country an un
compromising bachelor. I will quali
fy, however, by saying that I do not
think he Is a Simon-pure bachelor.
Back In 1898 he went out to St. Louis
and met a promising young party. Be
fore he left there the engagement wan
announced, nnd since then Simon N
Jones has been a faithful and loyal
husband to N. A. R. D. Though trou
blous limes have beset his marital way
nnd his bride has been assailed from
every side, he has been faithful."
He then turned from the whimsical
and In tender worrit? paid high tribute
to Mr. Jones' distinguished service to
the nssoclatkn, and presented him with
the cup as a token of the love and
esteem of hla fellow members.
As he concluded, prolonged applause
followed, and the crowd arose and sang
"My Old Kentucky Home.” Sir, Jones
responded In a most feeling manner.

Work of Cleaning Up
Bars Is Finished
by City.
Fifteen more saloons took the count
Thursday afternoon, making In all
forty-one liquor and beer dealer, which
Imvo received the knock-out blow from
the wavo of reform which la sweeping
over Atlanta.
Although the closing of forty-one sa
loons Is a big move toward cleaning up
a city In which there existed only 1TJ
liquor houses, all told, this Is not all
that has been accomplished In the last
fortnight. The mixed saloon has been
wiped out of existence. Saloons have
been cleared of chaTrs and tables. Res
taurants have been forbidden, under -
penalty, to serve malt or splrltous
drinks. The back-door business has
gone Into ancient history and the sa
loon-keepers have been shown that
only orderly places will be tolerated.
The city has galtied this at the loss
of perhaps $20,000 per annum.
It Is ths general belief, however, that
the pecuniary loss will be small, as new
business will spring up to take the
place of the saloons.
At the special session of council on
Thursday afternoon the license com
mittee reported on thirty-three saloons.
Ths favorably reports were adopted
without Incident. The adverse reports
on fifteen of the licenses were fought
by some of the members of council and
by the attorneys for the saloonists.
Many attempts were made to have sa-
Joon licenses reconsidered. Not one
was successful. The nearest ths oppo
sition came :o success was on the mo
tion of Alderman 81ms to reconsider
the license of W. B. Archer, which
was lost by a vote of 10 to II. Later
one of the committee's supporters left
the room and an attempt was made to
again take the vote. The motion was
overruled.
Councilman Taylor made a motion
to reconsider the license of Sam Klein,
which was lost by a vote of 5 to 18.
Aldermen Hlrach motioned to recon
sider the license of Pete Cohen, which
went down to defeat by the vote of
14 to 8.
Attorney Frank M. Hughes appeared
for M. Shurman, 182 Decatur street.
Attorney Thomae H. Goodwin appeared
for Jake Grusln, 48 Decatur street, and
I. L. Cleln, 60 Decatur street. Attor
ney Albert Howell appeared for Cleln
Brothers, Ivy and Decatur streets. No
move was taken by council to recon
sider the licenses.
The licenses of the following-named
wero revoked:
I. C. Clark, 198 Decatur street, white.
I. Slnkovltz, 254 Decatur, whole
