desired,  a  small  label  can  be  put  on  the  board  in  front  of  each  nipple, 
giving  the  name  of  that  particular  style  or  its  number,  so  that  one  can 
be  picked  from  the  proper  box  without  disarranging  the  rest  of  the 
stock.  The  nipples  should  not  be  sold  directly  from  the  display  board, 
but  should  be  changed  at  frequent  intervals,  so  as  to  keep  them  in 
good  condition. 
PENNSYLVANIA  PHARMACEUTICAL  ASSOCIATION 
With  an  exceptional  record  for  the  year  behind  it  and  with  an 
era  of  exceptional  promise  before  it,  the  Pennsylvania  Pharma- 
ceutical Association,  on  the  evening  of  June  24,  brought  to  a  close 
the  most  enjoyable  annual  meeting  in  its  thirty-eight  years  of  exist- 
ence. The  sessions  took  place  at  Forest  Park  Hotel,  Pike  County, 
June  22,  23,  and  24. 
From  the  standpoint  of  action,  the  convention  was  equally  im- 
portant. The  incoming  Legislative  Committee  was  instructed  to 
prepare  an  Itinerant  Venders'  Bill.  It  was  decided  to  carry  on 
regularly  a  State-wide  publicity  campaign  by  having  a  Committee 
on  Publicity,  through  the  lay  press,  keep  the  public  informed  on  all 
pharmaceutical  issues  of  general  interest,  particularly  of  a  legislative 
character. 
J.  Leyden  White,  the  Washington  representative  of  the 
N.  A.  R.  D.,  who  was  present  and  made  a  thrilling  address  on  the 
Stevens  price-maintenance  bill,  was  elected  an  honorary  member, 
while  marked  enthusiasm  followed  the  decision  of  the  meeting  to 
re-affiliate  with  the  N.  A.  R.  D. 
The  Legislative  Committee  was  instructed  to  forward  to  Presi- 
dent Wilson  and  to  Congress  a  resolution  demanding  a  repeal  or 
change  of  our  present  patent  laws  so  as  to  allow  free  competition 
in  the  manufacture  of  preparations  now  monopolized  by  foreign 
manufacturers,  and  urging  the  proper  encouragement  of  American 
manufacturers. 
The  N.  A.  R.  D.  was  requested  to  withdraw  from  the  "Chamber 
of  Commerce  of  the  United  States  because  of  the  belief  that  the 
problems  of  unfair  competition,  truth  in  trade,  and  price  standardiza- 
tion will  not  be  fairly  handled  by  that  organization  and  its  com- 
mittees. 
The  State  Pharmaceutical  Examining  Board  was  asked  to  make 
allowance  in  the  matter  of  qualifications  for  the  experience  gained  by
