Thousand Retail Druggists Gather In GTate City , for Ninth Annual Con- vention. Atlanta, Ga., Oct, 1. —Two thousand druggists, coming from all parts of the union and representing the seven ty-five thousand persons engaged in that business in the United States, are gathered in Atlanta today for the ninth annual convention of the Nation al Association of Retal Druggists. During the four days the convention will be in session the drug trade will be thoroughly discussed from commer cial, educational and scientific stand point. There is likely to be some plain talk concerning the competition to which the retail druggists are sub jected for dry goods department and other stores, as well as from the "cut rate emporiums that are now to be found in every large city. Those wholesale druggists that are alleged to act as "feeders" for cut-rate stores will come in for some sharp criticism. Another matter to receive attention is the present widespread movement demanding pure and un adulterated drugs. The formal opening of the conven tion takes place tonight in the senate chamber of the State capitol. The president of the association, M. T. Breslin of New Orleans, will preside, and the delegates will be welcomed by Governor Terrell, Mayor Woodward and by representatives of the Atlanta Chamber of Commerce, the Georgia Pharmaceutical association and other bodies. PEANUT IN CHILD'S EAR. Chrystal Falls, Michigan, Oct., 1. — Unable to understand why his three year-old daughter, Paula, had suddenly been deprived of both speech and hear ing, the Rev. Edward L. Bartke, pastor of the German Lutheran church of Florence, took the child to Milwaukee for an X-ray examination. This disclosed the fact that one-half of a peanut had found lodgment near the left ear drum and pressing against the membrane had deprived the young ster not only of hearing but of articu lation as well. The cut, which showed signs of de composition, was removed and the child is recovering the use of those senses temporarily lost. Oregon W. C. T. U.

Acting District-Attorneys May Be Promoted to $7,000 Places. Washington, D. C., October I.—At torney General Moody, under authority of the statute permitting the hiring of special assistants at salaries not ex ceeding $7,000 to help him in the prose cution of trusts ta building up a corpo ration of trust breakers that promises to be responsive to popular sentiment in every judicial district in the coun try. These special places will be the rewards for the bright District-Attor neys or assistant District-Attorneys who show the Attorney-General how to do things to the trust magnets. Until Knox became Attorney-Gener al the connection between the United States District-Attorneys and the At torney-General was nebulous. Some times the Attorney-General called up on them to do something other than prosecute moonshiners and counter feiters, but not until Knox came into office were any of them intrusted with anything worth while. Moody continued the utilization of the District-Attorneys and good work against a trust is now a certificate of merit which in many instances is fol lowed by promotion to special assis tant to the Attorney-General, with a nice berth in Washington. Before Knox inaugurated the system which Moody is now bringing to perfection no District-Attorney ever hoped for anything better than what he had, simply because appointments in the offices here were rewards of merit for political work.

They pro pose to fit up a good reception-room, perhaps two or three rooms, and have a matron in charge. "I am going to aid Cupid all I can, for most of the working girls are good girls and trying to elevate them selves, said Dr. Vaughn. Ambassador Put Off.
