The  Jacobs'  Pharmacy  Co.,  of  Atlanta,  Ga.,  announce  that 
twenty-seven  of  their  employees  have  answered  the  country's  call 
and  entered  the  governmental  service.  This  shortage  of  competent 
help  has  compelled  this  company  to  reduce  the  hours  of  service 
in  two  of  their  principal  stores. 
The  National  Pharmaceutical  Service  Association,  out  of  re- 
spect to  the  memory  and  services  of  Professor  Remington,  can- 
celled the  January  meeting.  This  Association  is  energetically 
carrying  on  the  propaganda  in  favor  of  the  Edmond's  Bill  now 
pending  in  Congress  to  provide  a  Pharmaceutical  Corps  in  the 
United  States  Army.  A  committee  of  the  prominent  members 
will  attend  the  hearing  on  this  measure  before  the  Committee  on 
Military  Affairs  of  the  House  of  Representatives.

was  a  prominent  figure  in  the  pharmaceutical  circles  in  Pennsyl- 
vania. He  was  one  of  the  charter  members  of  the  State  Associa- 
tion organized  in  1878  and  was  elected  as  the  president  of  the 
Association  in  1885. 
He  served  as  a  member  of  the  Board  of  Pharmacy  of  Pennsyl- 
vania and  was  secretary  thereof  for  many  years.  He  joined  the 
American  Pharmaceutical  Association  in  1873  and  the  Philadelphia 
College  of  Pharmacy  in  1895,  becoming  a  life  member  of  this  or- 
ganization and  an  honorary  member  of  the  Alumni  Association. 
He  was  for  some  time  a  school  director  in  Harrisburg.  He  was 
likewise  prominent  in  Masonic  circles  and  in  the  Lutheran  church.
