local pharmacist the retail druggists of this county aro doing nioro than their share toward supporting this government Thoy clam that they have bceuBingled out for the sole mirpose of making them the victims of the war tax On each proprietory article they sell is affixed a stamp The retailerhad to provide himself with stamps to put on all artlclo subject to the revenue tax that he had in stock when the law wont Into effect Tills caused a large cut in profits Now to make matters worse the owners of proprietory medicines have advanced their prices enormously the rise being more than sufficient to cover tho cost of stamps As the articles have a set price the druggist cau not charge the tax up against the consumer He must pay it out of hia own pocket The druggists are now beginning to kick They believe that the manufacturers of canned condiments pickles relishes and prepared foods should bear a share of the burden They are of the opinion that the grocer should be as much subject to taxation as they All of them believe that what is sauce for tliHgooso is sauce for the gander Tne dissatisfaction that is expressed among local druggistB is but an echo of the cry that is being raised all over the couutry by pharmacists It may lead to an organization of druggists and the formation ol a lobbying committee to work ou Congresd to abate tiie burden Dr Bulls Cough Symp is the
