Your customers expedt genuine Aspirin — "Bayer
Tablets of Aspirin." They know from tremendous
advertising throughout the Dominion that there is only
one genuine Aspirin — "Bayer," that tablets without the name "Bayer" are not
Aspirin at all.
Absolutely No German interest
"Bayer Tablets of Aspirin" are the same world-famous Aspirin
prescribed by physicians for nineteen years. But they are entirely
Canadian — made in Canada by a Canadian Company, all rights being
purchased from the United States Government.
BIG ADVERTISING ALL SUMMER
Stock double quantity now all three sizes. No chance to lose, because we will
redeem "Bayer" packages for price paid any time you say. A "Bayer" display in window
or on counter will pay bigger than any other effort you could make. Write for a "Bayer"
display to-day. No charge.

FRUIT SALT
Can now be had in pre-war
quantities
Like other successful products Eno's Fruit Salt
pays the price of success by being imitated in
would-be substitutes which cost less and do less.
During the last three or four years of war-forced
shortage many dealers — in an honest effort to
satisfy their customers — were foolish enough to try
to sell these substitutes, which hurt their trade and
reputation for quality.
Now, those who know the value of Eno's in regu-
lating the system and keeping it pure, will not accept
substitutes.
The wise wholesalers appreciated this factand when
they could get the genuine Eno's theypushed its sale.
We are glad to announce that all live wholesalers
and 90 % of the retailers are well stocked to-day.
A word of warning— Keep a large stock on hand,
for Eno's Fruit Salt is the best selling proprietary
in Canada.

Successful Convention of C. Ph. A. at Montreal
For four days from August 1 6 to 20 much business of interest to the drug trade
of the Dominion transacted — Attendance was good and entertainment excellent.
Reported by A STAFF EDITOR.
THE annual convention of the Canadian Pharma-
ceutical Association which was held in Montreal
for four days from August 16 to "20. can well be
termed a most successful event. The attendance was
large and representative, with delegates present from
all the provinces of the Dominion; the various prob-
lems brought up for consideration were given serious
consideration, with the rank and file of the conven-
tion taking a prominent part in the debate ; while the
decision was freely expressed that the association
should make a genuine effort to extend its activities
and place Canadian pharmacy on a still higher plane
than it occupies at the present time.
To Take a Step Forward
There was much discussion at the convention on the
subject of an organizer. The opinion was freely ex-
pressed that the association had come to a point
where it must either advance or go back. To advance
it must get the pharmacists of Canada to take greater
interest in its affairs and at the same time do more to
protect and benefit the interests of the drug trade of
the Dominion. The proposal of a high salaried organ-
izer with a secretary and properly equipped office
was received with great enthusiasm. It was finally
decided that the association should not attempt to
take too big a step at first-. Nevertheless, the prin-
ciple was approved and the delegates from the vari-
ous provinces asked to put the proposition before their
various provincial organizations of increasing the
yearly contribution from the present amount of 50
cents per member to $5.00. It will be a year before
the replies of the various provinces can be received
and any definite action taken. In the meantime an
effort will be made to raise funds by voluntary sub-
scription to carry on propaganda work and lay the
foundation for something of an extensive nature later
on.
The reports of the various standing committees
presented during the last day of the convention con-
tained many imporant recommendations that came in
for a great deal of discussion. As a result it was mid-
night of the last day before the election of officers
for the ensuing year was finally disposed of. The
nominating committee failed to agree on nominees for
the position of president, vice-president and secretary-
treasurer and the convention at large had to nomin-
ate and vote on these officers. R. C. Fuller, of Am-
herst. N.S., and John E. Tremble, of Montreal, were
nominated for the position of president: Frank J.
Hoag. of Kingston, (.int.. was the only nominee for
vice-president and was elected by acclamation: while
Geo. E. Gibbard. of Toronto, and E. Guerin, of Mont-
real, were nominated for secretary-treasurer, the
former being elected.

E. S. Knowlton drew attention to the fact that
every member had a perfect right to take part in dis-
cussions.
Discussion on Last Year's Minutes
The convention was called to order at 10.45 on Tues-
day morning with President Barnabe- in the chair.
A discussion took place on the minutes of the Win-
nipeg meeting. E. S. Knowlton, of Vancouver, drew
attention to an omission in regard to a supplement-
ary report on wood alcohol. He moved that with its
inclusion that the minutes be approved. It was sec-
onded by M. Albert. An amendment was introduced
by Henry Watters and Frank J. Hoag that the
minutes be not adopted until! they were examined for
other omissions. It was finally decided to appoint a
committee of Messrs. Geo. Gibbard, E. Nesbitt, Henry
Watters, E. S. Knowlton and J. E. Tremble to ex-
amine the minutes, make any corrections and bring in
for approval at a later session.
President J. E. Barnabe next read his presidential
message which was referred to the Resolutions Com-
mittee. Secretary Gibbard read a communication

referred to the Committee on Commercial Interests.
A letter was also read from the Wholesalers' Associa-
tion giving the names of a committee appointed for
the purpose. This was also referred to the same com-
mittee.
It was moved by J. E. Tremble that in view of over-
lapping in the men composing committees and the
need of interesting new blood that a committee be
appointed to draft new committees. This was second-
ed by F. J. Eoag. One man was appointed from cadi
province. Henry Walters, Hon. Geo. Hughes, Robt.
Martin, E. S. Knowlton, E. Vadboncoeur, G. A. Bur-

bringing in of the names of the men to compose these
committees.

Wednesday Morning
Tuesday afternoon was spent in a delightful motor
trip around the Island of Montreal! with supper at
Laval Sur Lac Golf Club. When the session was
opened on Wednesday morning it was announced that
President J. E. Barnabe was unable to be present and
preside on account of illness, so his place was taken
by R. C. Fuller, vice-president of the association. A
motion fathered by F. J. Hoag, of Kingston, ex
ing the regrets of the association for the inability of
the president to be present was passed. Ed. Vadbon-
coeur, of Montreal, was elected as associate chairman
and took charge of the meeting. A telegram was read
from J. A. Stewart, M.B., of Perth, regretting that
he had been delayed from getting to the meeting of
the association on account of business matters. A
telegram was also received from the Board of Trade
of Fort William, Out., extending an invitation to the
association to hojld its next annual meeting in that
city and pointing out the advantages of its location.
The committee appointed to examine the minutes
of the Winnipeg meeting suggested that the refer-
ence to wood alcohol that has been incorporated in
the minutes be deleted and the fact that the com-
mittee desired to continue its deliberations be in-
serted. With these changes the minutes were adopted.
On motion of Messrs. J. E. Tremble ami E. Nes-
bitt, F. S. Mearns. solicitor of the association, was
added to the Legislative Committee and the conven-
tion decided that he be given full privileges of a
member of the C. Ph. A. during the convention.
Nominating Committee

of Nelson, BJC., extended an invitation to the

scussion took place as to how the new officers
sociatiori should be nominated, and how the
nominating committee should be appointed. It was fin-
ally decided that a committee of one man from each
province be appointed to act as a nominating committee
and to bring in a recommendation as to the place of
next meeting. The committee appointed was as fol-

F. J. Hoag. of Kingston, brought up the matter of
discounts given by wholesale and pharmaceutical
houses. He said it was rumored that the present cash
discount of 2 per cent, for payment in 30 days was to
be done away with. He thought the association should
protest against any such action as it was now a diffi-
cult matter for the retailers to maintain profits.
H. "Willis, of Quebec City, expressed the view that
it would be better for all concerned if there were no
discount, as the wholesaler merely added it on
to his selling price. J. A. Goyer protested this. He
said that when the discount was reduced from 5 to
■2 per cent, that prices on many lines remained the
.same so that the retailer was merely losing three per
cent en those lines.

Suggested Schedule
for Prescriptions
On Tuesday evening the Committee on Commercial1.
Interests brought in its report. The chief feature of
it was the suggestion of an organizer for the associa-
tion with a secretary and stenographer and a proper-
ly equipped office. A proposed schedule of prescrip-
tion prices to serve as a guide to the retail trade was
also incorporated in the report. These prices were as
follows :
Eight-ounce mixture. $1.50; 6-ounce. $1.25; 4-ounce,
$] 00; '■'< ounce, 85 cents; 2-ounce, 75 cents: 1-ounce 60
cents.
Half ounce ointments. 75 cents; 2-ounce ointments.
$2.00.
Eye lotions. $1.00.
Powders, etc., $1.00 per dozen.
Tin. report expressed the idea that no prescription
could lie profitably dispensed for less than 50 cents.
er use of tli- word "pharmacist" was suggested.
»proval was expressed of small sales that do qo1
bear their share of expense; a more general use ,,f the
metric system was advocated: the two suggestions
for names for wood alcohol of Lignene and Lignol
were brought forward.
Discussion on Subject of Organizer
E. s. Knowlton, who presented the report, expressed
the association has not been functioning
al i' shOUtld. The committee was
- i, i; thai something should be

I on an,i thai ■ prove an u
M. Albert, of Montreal, .said that the druggists had
coiiie to a time when they were not contented with
old-time methods and that if we wished to accomplish
anything we must be prepared to pay for it. The
druggist pays for all other kinds of insurance and
why not for protection against adverse Legislation.
H. Willis, of Quebec City, pointed out that the war
had demonstrated the need of a master mind in the
direction of any important undertaking. That is
what the association needed. The proper vision is
necessary and it is only a man with executive ability
that can give us that vision. The druggist gives money
to various organizations that benefit him little or
none. Why not pay the same amount to something
that will directly benefit his business? He suggested
that someone outside the trade would have to be se-
cured for the position. J. A. Goyer expressed the
same opinion. M. Allard. of Montreal, was also an-
other speaker on the subject. Geo. E. Gibbard, the
secretary of the association, told of the fight that had
been put up by the association officers in the past and
expressed the view that they had fought a good tight
considering the means they had at their disposal. He
was greeted with applause and cheers.
Hon. Geo. E. Hughes, of Charlottetown, P.E.I.. was
glad to sec the spirit of enthusiasm for organization
and said the druggist could not afford to be behind the
other trades and professions in this regard. He sug-
gested that each man take up the fight individually
too. Let him be an organizer in his own community
and take legislative matters up with his local repre-
sentative in parliament. Rattee was of the same
opinion. R. A. McRuer. of St. Boniface, Man., and
Leo Ryan, of Montreal, organizer of the local finance
committee, ailso spoke on the subject.
Discussion on Prescription Pricing
A. R. Farley, of Hull, Que., stated that he had been
selling prescriptions at lower prices than those men-
tioned in the report of the committee. He felt, how-
ever, that he had not been getting sufficient and that
he intended asking higher figures in an effort to get
a fair return for his work.
T. P. Hartley, of Toronto, said that the trouble with
the average druggist in prescription pricing was that
he was afraid of the man down the street. He pointed
out the important position that the pharmacist holds.
The physician may be the best, may give careful
diagnosis, and take care in writing the prescription,
but all his work would be undone unless the pharma-
cist exercises care and .skill. A statemenl of his that
appealed to the convention was "You will nevi
$1.50 lor an 8-ounce prescription if you only ask $1.25.
Vou won't gel the price till you ask it."
Henry Watters, of Ottawa, said that their experi-
ence in recent years had been that it is just as sasy
to get $1.50 for an 8-ounce mixture as 75 cents. "We
r think of the price the other fellow will quote.
We make the point thai lower prices mean inferior
service."
G. A. Lapointe pointed out that no long ago cough
syrups in his store d nenilly sold at 25 cents. A oil
cent line was introduced and it sold so well that a
$1.00 was put in stock. He has not sold the
smaller size for two years. A campaign was also put
on to sell larger sizes ami quantities of smaller lines
that frequently sold I'm- ." tits. Many of these have
been raised to 10. 1.") 'JO and even 25 cenl sizes. He
expressed the opinion that a customer who had paid
an eye specialist ten. fifteen or twenty-five dollars tor

his work would refuse au eye prescription that the
druggist would ask only $1.00 for. He asks up to
$2.00. This is not high. The person who buys choco-
lates pays three cents or more apiece for them. Two
dollars for an eye lotion only means about two cents
per drop.
C. E. Swaisland. of Kitchener. Out., felt that a great
deal of the work that the association has to do was
a matter of propaganda and the use of printers' ink.
He thought there was nothing stronger. He thought
it could be effectively used to educate the public to
ask their physicians for a prescription be to filled by
a qualified and careful druggist instead of a prescrip-
tion filled by the doctor himself.
Lignene was the word selected by the convention
as being the best substitute for wood alcohol and the
Legislation Committee is to put it before the Depart-
ment of Health at Ottawa in an effort to have it
adopted.

Accounting Problems Discussed j
il]llllltlllllllininillllllllllllllllllUllllllllllllllIIUIUIIIIIIIIIIIMIl[illlllllllllllllllllHlllllllll!lllllllllltlltlltllllltlltlHIIIIIIIIMIIIIII)lllllll(r;
A feature of the morning session on Wednesday
was the reading of an excellent paper on "Accounting
for the Retail Druggist" by G. A. Burbidge, of Halifax.
This will be reproduced in full in the next issue of The
RetaiJ Druggist. In introducing his paper he pointed
oitt that it was desirable that there be some standard-
ized system of book-keeping among retail druggists
so that when accounting matters were discussed that
each dealer would have the same understanding of
terms. Mr. Burbidge has departmentized his business
so that he can pick out the profitable and unprofitable
lines. If a department is not proving as profitable as
it should it is packed up or done away with. By this
system of checking up he found some departments
that were paying a very much smaller percentage of
profit than he thought. These were put on a profit
paying basis. One department showed a loss when
charged up with its proper share of expense and was
taken out. He stated that he found prescriptions,
drugs and non-secret remedies three of his best de-
partments.
Druggist Who Maintains Perpetual Inventory
H. Robert, of Montreal, told of a system of per-
petual inventory for each item of stock in his store
that lie maintains. He is to set out the system in full
and forward to The Retail Druggist for publication.
He claims that the first year after the introduction of
the system that he made $3,000 more than the pre-
vious year.
He stated that for a number of years lie operated
his store pretty well on guesswork and found that the
profits were not as satisfactory as they should be.
He finally came to the decision that he must improve
his system ill order to increa.se his profits, 'flu- pre-
ent inventory system is the result. Each clerk lias a
sheet on which he notes every article sold. This re-
cord allows the book-keeper to keep a perpetual in-
ventory of each item of stock. The stock when
counted should agree with the inventory. He says
that it is not much work to check up a whole depart-
ment. Tin' tobacco department can he checked up
in three hours. He has eight departments in the store.
There is also a record kept .if supplies and Ik- even
knows if there is any breakage which is not recorded
by the clerks. He says the plan is a great help in
buying. He knows the exact amount he has on hand
and how they have sold as well as the price paid and
the name of the firm purchased from. The inventory
is posted every day so that in case of fire the store
would Uave absolute proof of loss. The cash register
checks up any neglect of the clerks to list articles sold
on the necessary sheet. A close check can also be
kept on the clerks as to whether they are earning their
salary.
Canadian Formulary Widely Used
J. A. Goyer presented the report of the Committee
on the Canadian Formulary. It was felt that it was
time to examine and improve the Formulary in keep-
ing with the advance since it was printed in 1915. It
is gratifying to know that it is so extensively used and
so greatly recognized as an authority. The work of
compiling a new Formulary will require the co-opera-
tion of the various provincial bodies and it was sug-
gested that suggestions should be invited at once.
Many of the preparations contained in it have found
favor with the medical profession. It is a proper
time to enlarge the Formulary and make it appeal
even more to medical men.
Want Advancement in Pharmaceutical Education
The secretary-treasurer read his financial report
which was adopted. Prof. H. H. Gaetz read the re-
port of the Committee on Pharmacuetical Edueatiou.
It urged the adoption of a uniform matriculation as
the first step in securing uniformity that would allow
of reciprocity between the various provinces. It also
recommended a two years' course for students with a
total of one thousand teaching hours and the ap-
pointment of a Syllabus Committee. The report also
urged that all druggists carry out their duty to their
apprentices. Prof. Moore spoke on the report and
suggested that the association should give more time
to work in connection with the uplift of pharmacy.
G. E. Burbidge suggested that the colleges be made
more use of by pharmacists in search of information
for use in their dispensing problems. Scientific phar-
macists might well be invited to conventions t'"> give
talks to druggists.
Legislation Matters
F. S. Mearns read the report of the Legislation
Committee. It dealt with the Patent Medicine A \
an amendment to which it was found impossible to
put through at the last session ; the work in connec-
tion with the Opium and Xarcotic Drug Act. and the
removal of the stamp tax. He pointed out the unfair-
ness of the druggist having to pay a fee in order to
sell narcotic lines — in other words to practice his pro-
fession. He stated that word had been received that
tlie Department of Health would supply the uei
forms for complying with the Xarcotic !>' ■:_ A '
Express Appreciation of Work of J. A. Stewart, MP
A motion was brought forward by ; that
the matter he taken up of getting the Government to
adopt the Pharmacopoea of 1 !U4 as authoritative in
Canada and have it so that in the future new addi-
tions of it would automatically become authoritative.
A resolution was brought forward and unanimously
carried to thank ■' . A. Stewart. MP., for the
lent work done in the Dominion House on behalf of the
tada. The Kf- - uttee
brought in votes of thanks to all those who had con-
tributed to the success i vention.

Much Discussion on Report of Finance Committee
The report of the Finance Committee was broughl
in just before the close of the afternoon session on
day, it approved of the principle of an organ
jugg sted that a salary of $3,500 1111-:
start instead of the Larger sum that bad been
by a member. It recommended that dele-
gates present the proposition to their various provin-
irganizations and send their members back to
the meeting next year prepared to endorse a fee of
$5 per member. It suggested that voluntary sub-
scription be invited for the present year and that
an active campaign he carried on by means of letters
and the trade papers and through the provincial as-
sociations to lay the foundation for the larger work
in the interests of Canadian pharmacy that it is
planned to later inaugurate.
The greater part of the evening session was taken up
in a discussion of the suggestions put forth in the
report of the Finance Committee. Many valuable sug-
gestions wen- put forth that should prove of assist-
ance to The new executive and in finally carrying out
the work planned. It was well after midnight before
the final session was wound up.

different committees reported progress. The enter-
tainments were 101 such a grand scale that we bad
very little time to discuss these important matters. I
hope this year that the' reports of the different com-
mittees will give entire satisfaction to our members.
Meetings of the Executive
After consulting the members a few meetings were
held in Ottawa to fighl the proprietary medicine.
narcotic and .stamp laws as 'he government wanted
to revise them. After many lengthy interviews with
the authorities we partly succeeded as follows:--
1. The stamp tax is thrown on the manufacturers.
There is a difference of opinion as to the benefit of
this, but I, for one. am very satisfied that this burden
is taken from the druggists and that the different lines
are eliminated altogether.
2. The proprietary medicine laws have been changed
so that only those who wish to keep their formulas
secret have to pay. Those who print the formulas on
their labels are exempt.
3. As regards the narcotic law the committee suc-
ceeded in having the authorities authorize the use of
narcotics in preparations in such quantities that could
be proved medicinal ami not dope. Same to be ap-
proved by the advisory board named by the govern-
ment to that effect.
Educational Matters
I have received correspondence and have been told
by men wdio are qualified to state their opinion that
the feeling is that the C. P. A. is performing the
function of a Retail Association rather than that of
a Pharmaceutical Association, and that it would be
greatly in the interest of Canadian Pharmacy if it
would redirect its efforts. There is no reason why it
should cease its activities along commercial lines, but
it should be more pronouncedly educational and pro-
fessional.
I endorse this opinion and also insert here a few-
topics for consideration which I received from Prof.
G-aetz, of Alberta. It would certainly be agreeable
m each delegate and every member if the Education-
al committee would study these suggestions and make
reports on them.
Topics for Consideration
1. Cniform Matriculation requirements. Sug
ed: Arts Matriculation or its equivalent.
2. Uniform apprenticeship or "student service'
quirements.
:'.. Equivalence if not uniformity in College courses
with minimum requirements for registration. Sug-
d: Two full yea- or approximately '<Q
weeks each totaling not less than H>00 hours ins
t ion. lecture and laboratory.
t. Adoption of a syllabus and setting forth a mini-
mum requirement, permitting options in certain
curses, thai the b dividuality of the several schools
may not be destroyed.
.1. The period in the student's course in which the
College course may or musl be taken.

standards.

Suggests a Paid Secretary
Gentlemen, our Secretary, during the past year has
done his utmost for our association, but having his
own private business to attend to, he has not been able
to devote all his time to us. The funds of the asso-
ciation dispose of but a very minimum remuneration
for this purpose. I have talked this matter over with
many prominent druggists:, here and elsewhere, and
all are of the opinion that a secretary .should be ap-
pointed with a salary sufficient to afford him to de-
vote all his time and energy to our interests. He
would be ready to meet and follow any legislation at
Ottawa, when such legislation would be harmful to
our profession or trade. I would ask the finance com-
mittee to study this matter and see if they could not
raise funds for this purpose. If we wish our associa-
tion to remain in existeuce we must have the neces-
sary withal and I feel that they will succeed. I hope
every delegate will take this matter into serious con-
sideration as it is for the life or death of our asso-
ciation. If the association has not proved as benefi-
cial in the past as it may have been it is not due to its
executive nor members but simply through lack of
funds.
Finance
Our finances are very low. and you will see by the
report of the Treasurer that our safe holds more ac-
counts than negotiable bills.
Province of Quebec 50th Anniversary
I am pleased, gentlemen, to tell you that this con-
vention coincides with the 50th anniversary of the
Province of Quebec. I hope that the entertainments
the reception committee have prepared for you will
leave you a good impression of our city and of your
eastern confreres. Next year, the Ontario College of
Pharmacy will celebrate its jubilee. In the name of
the Canadian Pharmaceutical Association, let me ex-
tend to this educational institution my best wishes
and congratulations for the good and steady work
they have done in this half century and wish them
prosperity for the future.
The Alcohol Question
The use of alcohol has also been looked into, but
as this matter depends a lot on provincial law. each
province has looked after its own interests. If I have
put before you the alcohol situation it is "ii account
of the increased taxation. I would suggest that the
legislative committee take this matter into considera-
tion and study the case and show the government the
- ry of providing industrial alcohol for manu-
facturing purposes.
For that reason, I would -ii!.ri.r''^ that a special
committee of the association meet a similar commit-
tee of the manufacturers, jobbers ami pharmaceutical
men to discuss the matter and present the claim or
make the suggestion to the federal author
1 hope, gentlemen, that I have as extensively as
possible treated every question.
You will have the pleasure, at this conventii
hear the reading of a paper on A National System
of Price Standards for the Pharmacist," due to the
kindness of Mr. Henry Watters, of Ottawa.
Mr. Knowlton, of Vancouver, will also int. 'rest you
on "Commercial interests.'" I think that von will
appreciate the work of those gentlemen and of all
those who devote themselves to the welfare of the
Pharmacy.
In conclusion, gentlemen, let me again thank you
for the honor conferred in electing me your president.
If I have been able to fulfill that charge with honor,
I gratefully acknowledge the large support a\:
sistanee afforded me by the secretary and members
of the executive council of the association.
Respectfullv submitted.

Entertainment Features of
Convention
■ 111 IlillMlil .
ENTERTAINMENT of a very lavish order was
provided for the druggists in attendance at the
convention. It started on Monday evening with
a reception at the Place Viger Hotel ac which the
ladies were in attendance. Dancing was the chief
feature of the evening. Lunch was also served.
On Tuesday afternoon a mo'or trip was taken
around the Island of Montreal passing through Mont-
real. Westmount. Lachine. Dixie, St. Anne de Belle-
vue and back along the north of the island to Laval
Sur Lac where supper was served at the club house of
the Laval Sur Lac Golf Club. It was a magnificent
repast. The return to the city was made late in the
evening.
For those of the party who had not joined the ex-
cursion, a smoker was provided by Messrs. Chas. E.
--- & to., in the Victoria Rides Armory. Catheart
Street, where refreshments were served and a very
enjoyable concert, exercising the talent of Joe Beau-
champ, Bert Mason, Bevin Giles. Jock Hunter, and
other well known entertainers, was provided. A fea
ture of the evening's entertainment wa> a couple of
four-round boxing bouts between George Gerardin
and Kid O'Blay and Young Gallon and Kid Jackson,
who gave a very good exhibition of this time honored
exercise.
On Wednesday at noon the members had a trip
along the harbor and down the St. Lawrence, the trip
occupying over two hours. Luncheon was served on

Waterman [deal Fountain Pen. The trip was made
to St. Lambers where the factory is located, by motor
busses, passing over the famous Victoria Bridge which
spans the St. Lawrence. The party alighted at the
new Waterman factory, and were conducted through
the plant. Bach department was visited in turn, and
1' of guides explained the various processes of
ruction to the interested visitors.
The factory itself, is a modern building, well light-
ed and ventilated, with every convenience that makes
for efficient work under the most pleasant conditions.
The gold pen department and the ink bottiling depart-
ment attracted the druggists who evinced a great deal
of interest in the up-to-date labor-saving machinery
used in these departments. All questions were cour-
teously answered, and special demonstrations given
by the obliging staff. The visitors were shown the
construction of the fountain pen through every stage
from the raw rubber to the finished product.
' After the tour of inspection, the guests were served
with light refreshments and smokes, and were given
souvenirs of their visit in the form of fountain pens.
Many Visit the Gillette Factory
Another plant that was visited by many of the
members of the trade while in Montreal was that of
the Gillette Safety Razor Company. Visitors were
greatly interested in the unique process of manufac-
turing razors and blades and the care taken in both
making and inspecting the products of the plant. This
company has shown a remarkable progress since it
introduced itself to the Canadian people in 1906. The
plant has been constantly enlarged until it now has
a floor space of 48,000 square feet. The ouput is over
2500 razors and 18.000 dozen blades per dav. The
salesmen of the company, headed by H. S. Beeeher,
advertising manager, were active in the entertainment
of the druggists in attendance at the convention. Mr.

A most interesting retrospect of the progress of
pharmaceutic;!.1 science in Canada was brought to the
gathering by the presence of Mr. H. F. Jackson, of
Montreal, who was present as a guest, and who recalled
his association with the movement for the first or-
ganization of pharmacists in Canada, over 50 years
ago. The organization of the Quebec association,
whicdi was the first in Canada, took place in 1870.
Previous to that. Mr. Jackson recalled there were
only about 15 druggists in the city of Montreal, in-
cluding wholesale houses, and there were five who held
licenses from the College of Physicians and Surgeons
of the Province of Quebec. Mr. Oontant, another of
the oldest living druggists of the city, was also pres-
ent at the meeting.

Getting the Desir- There are a great many active and

Customer. try who are daily zealously en-
deavoring to expand their busi-
ness, and yet there is probably not one but who. if he
will stop, scratch his head and think, but will be com-
pelled to acknowledge that there are certain probable
customers whom he has neglected to systematically
cultivate. Some have probably slipped from his me-
mory altogether.
To secure as a customer every individual within his
community is of course beyond the possibility of any
one retailer. Only he who enjoys a monopoly in an
isolated community could ever even dream of such a
thing. ,
But the fact that there are always some to be ob-
tained who he has not srot is an inspiration to the
merchant who is ambitious to increase his business.
He knows perfectly well that he cannot get every-
body to buy from him, but he at the same time real-
izes that the more he intelligently tries to get the more
he will secure. This is an unalterable law. It is a
good thing to have ideals even if we do not ever fully
attain to them.
As a preliminary to an organized effort to secure as
customers certain desirable people in his neighborhood
it would be well for the dealer to prepare a list of such,
revising it as occasion demands. To this list letters.
circulars and advertising matter of various kinds
should be sent from time to time. Occasionally a spe
eial letter might be sent to a number of people selected
from the list. This would be advisable when certain
lines had been taken into stock which, from experience,
it had been learned was likely to suit their tastes.
The cost entailed would of course be regulated by
the extent to which the system was employed, but if
properly done there can be no doubt in regard to its
success.

How Many Do Clerks in an enterprising store used
You Sell? to be urged to frequently consider
the number of people who came
to their counter and went away without buying any-
thing and endeavor to figure out the reason for so many
non-sales. The same thing should be considered in re-
gard to window display.
It is not the fellow v - the most but he who
hits the most, who bags the largest number of birds
when on a hunting expedition. The actual number of
killing hits are all that count with the hunter who
cares tor more than to shoot to make a big noise. The
number of sales a window or other advertisement
makes is the big consideration with the retailer who is
not doing business for his own enjoyment. It surely
the number of people who pass our place of busi-
ness every day. nor the percentage who stop to admire
our attraction in the show windows, nor even those
folks who walk into our store that count in actual sales.
It is the percentage of customers, people whq buy and
buy more than they first intended to buy that runs the
tape around the reel on our cash register and makes for
an attractive bank deposit every morning. Every time
a man. woman or child passes our store we have a shot.
How many of these passers-by are really passers by
and get through our screen? Is it not time we used a
different brand of shells and assured ourselves of more
actual hits than we are averaging at present? Do we
sell as many as we should?
The Merchant's It costs the retailer more for to keep
Insurance his stock fully protected against loss
by fire than it did six years ago. not
because rates are higher, but because under the higher
prices ruling the total value of stock carried runs to
large figures.
For this reason many merchants are tempted to carry
less insurance than their good sense tells them they
should. This is certainly a mistake. Every dealer
should protect himself and family as well as his
creditors by keeping his stock adequately insured.
The story is told well in the following advertisement
of an insurance agent :
FALSE ECONOMY
"An aged widow for many years oper-
ated a general store in southern Manitoba.
Recently fire destroyed her $30,000 stock.
She had but $6,000 insurance. Because her
rate was higher than her neighbor's she
thought she was saving money by refusing
to safeguard the savings of a life time. Now
she is dependent on the charity of her rela-
tives. Moral: Keep safe."
It is better to be safe than sorry.
IMPRESSING BY QUALITY
The present is a time when the dealer and his clerks
might well dderable study to the science of
window trimming because its value is becoming more
apparent every day. Some of the rules for window
display are easily set down, though necessarily in gen-
eral terms.
The character of the offering should always deter-
mine whether the display is to impress by quantity or
by distinctive individual quality. Merely sh<
the products in the window is less than half of the
good that may be accomplished by a skillful display.

Convention of Ontario Druggists on Sept. 21 and 22
Ontario Retail Druggists' Association will hold annual convention
in Toronto on Sept. 21 and 22 — A large attendance is expected.
THE annual convention of the Ontario Retail
Druggists' Association lakes place in Toronto on
September 21 and 22. Every druggist of the
province .should make an effort to be present for it is
going to be an event of both pleasure and profit to
all those who attend.
Entertainment Features
The executive officers have been hard at work on
a programme that will prove attractive and valuable.
3lisiness and pleasure has been well mixed. The
headquarters will be at the King Edward HoteJ where
the convention sessions will be held. Tuesday, the
first day of the convention "'ill be largely taken up in
sightseeing and entertainment. The morning will be
occupied in receiving and registering delegates. In
the afternoon there will be a drive around the city in
motor ears followed by a supper and theatre party
for all. ladies included.
A Day of Solid Business
Wednesday morning and afternoon will be taken up
in solid business and there should be two worth-while
sessions. It is felt that the present year is one of im-
portance to the drug trade and that some real definite
action should be taken at the convention of the drug-
gists of the province to assure the safeguarding of
their interests, particularly in regard to legislative
matters. Good work was done by the officials of the
association during the past year in the protection of
the drug trade but the many matters that have arisen
have demonstrated in a convincing manner the need
of the retailers being organized and having men on the
lookout for anything that may be detrimental to their
interests.
Plan to be Present
In the evening there will be a banquet in the Board
of Trade Banquet Hall located on the top floor of the
Royal Bank Building, the highest ,• mercial build-
ing in the British Empire. There will also be a movie
entertainment for the ladies with refreshments.
There will be ample accommodation at the King
Edward Hotel for all delegates who wish to have
rooms at the convention headquarters. The date i-
September 21 and 22. Make a point to be present and
by it further your own interests as well as those oJ

PACKING ICE CREAM AND SERVING IT
The Soda Fountain advises the druggist to learn
just how to paek his ice cream so that it will be at
its best for serving purposes. If it is too hard, it is
not pleasant to dispense or to eat; if it is mushy or
soupy, it is far from agreeable. When you pack the
ice cream, do it with a definite idea in mind — so much
ice. so much salt. If it is too hard, you have used a
little too much salt : if it is too soft, you have used
too little. After you have learned just bow much id'
each the particular type of insulation of your fountain
calls for. you have a system that will guide you to
having the ice cream just righl every time. Some
men never get anywhere because they never trouble
to analyze causes and results and can never depend

Your Wholesaler Has Them
Under the amendment to the Opium and Narcotic
Drug Act, which was passed at the recent session of
Parliament, it is provided that the same shall come
into force on a date to be fixed by proclamation of
the Govemor-in-Council.
It is the intention of the Department to have this
Act proclaimed and come into force on or about
September 1st. next.
Under the new Act, all wholesa! • druggists, manu-
facturers or dealers are required to obtain a license
to deal in these drugs, for which an annual fee of
twenty-five ($25' dollars is charged. All retail drug-
gists who manufacture narcotic drugs, or prepara-
tions containing the same, are required to obtain a
license, for which an annual fee of five ($5) dollars
is charged. All druggists, other than those who manu-
facture, and every physician, veterinary surgeon and
dentist is required to make a declaration that they
are engaged in the sale or distribution of there drugs.
Forms will be supplied by the Department on appli-
cation to be filled in and returned as required under
the Act.
The Act also requires all druggists, whether whole-
sale or retail, and all manufacturers to keep a record
of their receipts, together with a record of the quan-
tity manufactured, and a record of their sales. These
records are required to be kept in a special book kept
for this purpose, and after a prescribed form.
Another important change under the new Act is
the limiting of the number of ports in Canada at
which these drugs may be imported or exported, and
the provisions whereby opium and other drugs in-
tended for export must be packed and marked in such
a manner as to denote the contents of the package.
Provision is made under the Act for the sale of
preparations intended for internal use which do not
contain more than two grains of opium, or more than
one-fourth of a grain of morphine, or more than one-
eighth of a grain of heroin, or more than one grain
of godeine to the fluid ounce. Provided, however, that
such preparations must be medicated to sufficiently
preclude the possibility of their being purchased
simply to obtain the narcotic effect, and further that
such preparations must have printed on the label or
wrapper in a conspicuous place the following warning:
"It is unlawful to administer this preparation to a
child under two years of age as it contains opium and
is dangerous to its life."
The maximum penalty for infraction of the Art has
been increased (vnu five hundred $500) dollars to
one thousand ' -40.000) dollars, and a minimum pen-
alty of two hundred ' £20fP dollars is provided.
It i.- the intention of the Department at a later date
to furnish ajll druggists with a copy of the regulations,
er with a copy of the Opium and Narcotic
Drug Act. with amendments to date.
Department of Health, Ottawa, July 28th. 1920.

CAMERAS and PHOTOGRAPHIC SUPPLIES
— A department of meant and methods of increasing business in cameras and photographic supplies I =^
Twentieth Century Photography
Written for thd Retail Druggist by A. H. BOYD.
SINCE the days of wet plates and the hundred-
weight equipment, photography lias made rapid
strides toward perfection. Up-to-date methods, of
developing and printing together with the feather-
weight camera has contributed to the upward trend
in the photographic world.
The word photography originated from the Greek
words phos (light) and grapho (I write), which ad-
miralty describes the process of reproducing images.
In a s. ■mem-" it comprises the exposing of a sensitive
plate or substance to tin- light, concentrated on an
object at the correct focus. This plate after being
treated with chemicals reproduces the object on its
surface.
Need of Care in Developing
The developing of plates or films is rather an intri-
cate operation, as great care must be taken not to
handle the sensitive material more than is necessary.
Time is also a great factor as films and plates not
developed to the proper density do not give good
results.
The necessary requisites to secure excellent results
are :
1. The best developers and fixers.
2. A good actinometer. This latter is especially
adapted to amateurs as it bears the same relation to
light as a thermometer bears to heat — it gauges its
intensity. For this purpose the "Watkins" watch-
shaped meter will meet all the requirements of the
amateur.
This costs comparatively little as compared with
the reduced wastage of plates and films by wrong
exposure.
l)eveloping is simpV the blackening by means of
a chemical of the particles of silver bromide in the
sensitive film which have been acted up by light dur-
ing exposure.
The darkest portions of the negative are known as
the highlights, the intermediate portions the half-
tones and the lightest portions the shadows. After
immersing the plate in the developer the highlights
appear first, then the half-tones and lastly the
shadows. These transformations are optically visible,
although all operations are simultaneous. These
i 3 increase in density as long as the solution is in
contact with the sensitive surface. After develop-
ing, tie surface is hardened b\ some suitable fixer.
There are about fifteen different chemicals ten,
which excellent results have been oibtained, and we

Printing
When an amateur has become expert at developing
plates or films, his next move is the producing id' the
object on paper, commonly known a.s printing. This
is delicate work at the beginning, but practice pro-
duces both speed and perfection.
Printing papers are of many grades and varieties,
but some standard paper is the best for all round use.
Bromide paper of one of the following grades ranks
among the best known to the trade, very rapid, me-
dium or very slow. Strong negatives with plenty of
contrast should be printed on medium speed paper,
or if very brilliant on fast paper. Weak negatives
with little contrast require slow paper.

A STUNT IN SELLING PERFUMES.
A druggist hit upon a little service stunt that helped
him save a great deal of time in selling perfumes. He
had a lot of little stickers printed which read: "To be
sure of this same odor next time, have the bottle re-
filled at the Pharmacy. Ask for Mo. 57." The
perfumes were numbered and whenever he filled a
for a customer he pasted one of these little
.stickers on it and wrote in the number. This se
to identify the particular odor to both customer and
clerk. Once the customer had settled upon a certain
perfume it was easy to sen

Cut-outs of maple leaves were made good use of in the

A DISPLAY OF FRUIT JELLIES
Jassby's drug store at the corner of St. Catherine
and Mansfield, Montreal, recently devoted a big front
window to a display of fruit jellies. There were three
round pedestals with piles of the candies arranged on
them with a very orderly arrangement at the outside
of the display. Pound boxes of the candy were dis-
played on the window floor.

GET AFTER SCHOOL TRADE
The season is now at hand when the druggisl
should make a real Strong effort to cash in on the
trade that wilil be passing in school supplies. There
is a double reason I'or courting this trade. In the firsl
p]j n is in itself profitable business. Secondly, it
attaches the children to the store and also exerts a
powerful influence upon the older people.
The manner of going after this trade will vary
with circumstances. The dealer who is anyways
favorably located to secure this trade will do well to
devote a' window to appropriate Fines at the time of
the opening of scl I. It will bring the lines before
probable purchasers at a time when they are thinking
of them. It will emphasize upon the public that you
handle these lines in your store.
A druggist whose store was a littf.e out of the regu-
lar path of the scholars going to a nearby school, de-
vised several plan.-, to net their trade. One plan
just one of the manj used in the course of a school
term- -was a little guessing contest that took some
work and about a dollar's worth of school supplies
and candy.
Tin druggist cut up into irregular pieces the por-
traits of tive well-known men. About six pieces of
each portrait were made. Bach bunch was pasted
onto a pieee of cardboard mixed up. of course, in
order that the portrait could not be too easily identi-
fied. Ii each case there was some outstanding feature
to make it not too difficult. This card was used to
interest the children:
DO YOU KNOW WHO THESE MIEN ARE?
Write down the numbers that are on the cards and
the names after them. We will give a prize to the six
children who act in the first correct answers.

This is a gpod time to feature fountain pens for
school use. With the re-opening of school children
are being re-outfitted for their tasks. Play up the

might read:

for their children. A card might read:

When the Dell Drug Company, of Gary, Ind., was
despairing of ever selling its soda fountain, a traveler
for a fountain manufacturer happened into the store
and was told by the owner that he would appri
some assistance in getting rid of the soda fountain,
as there wasn't enough busiu, s^ to justify its exist-
ence.

ticed, back of the prescription case, a large vacant

Good Equipment Increases
Efficiency
Any advertiser of store
equipment will be glad
to answer enquiries from
dealers regarding his line,
while the editor of The
RETAIL DRUGGIST
will, at any time, be
glad to offer suggestions
or supply information in
regard to store equip-
ment.
Good equipment in the store works for larger
sales and greater profit. It is going to play an
important part in the successful conduct of
business during the new era of activity we are
now entering.
Every dealer should make a study at this time
of his necessities in the way of store fixtures
and business machinery. Our advertisements
offer valuable suggestions in this connec-
tion, while every dealer should read the editorial
department devoted to the subject.

A leading doctor says the difference
between HOWARDS' ASPIRIN
TABLETS and other brands is
SIMPLY MARVELLOUS "
A Well Advertised
Article is Half Sold
The Marvel "Whirling Spray" is well
advertised. It is easy to sell, always gives
satisfaction, and pays the druggist a good
profit. Why waste time trying to sell the
customer a substitute or imitation which is
less profitable and is usually unsatisfactory ?
When you sell a Marvel you are sure the
customer is satisfied, for no better goods
can be made. We guarantee it against
defects of any kind, and will gladly ex-
change any Marvel which is found defec-
tive and promptly reported.

The Marvel Whirling Spray Syringe
Gold Medal Awarded— Paris, 1902
By the Societe d' Hygiene of France
as the latest and best improvement in vaginal
Syringes. Particular attention is called to
the fact that by reason of its peculiar con-
struction the Marvel Syringe dilates and
flushes the vagina with a volume of whirling
spray, which smooths out the folds and per-
mits the injection to come into contact with
and cleansing the entire surface.
