St. Louis Public Evening Schools.-In the MEYER BROTHERS DRUGGIST, for November, we called the attention of drug clerks to the public evening schools, and advised them to take advantage of this opportunity of preparing for the college of pharmacy. We have received a number of inquiries about the schools and are pleased to give the following information, furnished us by the superintendent of instruction, Ben Blewett. The Board of Education maintains free public evening schools for the benefit of young men and women between the ages of fourteen and twenty, who follow some industrial calling and have no opportunity to avail themselves of the day schools. A nominal tuition (one dollar for the session of twenty weeks) is charged for students who are twenty years of age and over. Any child who has been exempted from attendance in the day schools for the reason that his labor is absolutely necessary for the support of the family, is required to attend some evening school, unless exemption from such attendance is granted by the attendance officer. To an earnest student the evening schools offer a good chance for obtaining a fair English education or for making up deficieneies of earlier school training. Many of the best teachers of the day schools teach in evening schools. The Studies of the Evening Schools.-The full course of evening school training, which is open to the students, covers five years, namely, three years of elementary school instruction and two years high school work. In The studies of the elementary public evening schools are: Reading and writing the English language, arithmetic; the elements of geography and History of the United States. most of the evening schools there are classes in drawing for mechanics, and classes in bookkeeping. A class in cooking will When a sufficient be conducted at the Patrick Henry School. number of applicants present themselves, classes are formed for foreigners who desire instruction in the English language. Drawing Classes.-Classes in drawing are maintained in those evening schools in which a sufficient number of qualified pupils apply for this branch of study. The lessons in drawing include both free hand and mechanical, or instrumental drawing and architectural drawing, and the work has been so planned as to meet the needs of the workers in the various trades. There are lessons in constructive design, such as the designing of articles in wrought and bent iron, furniture, etc. Lessons in decorative designs will be given, and their application to various textiles and materials, such as leather, copper, brass, linens, etc. Free hand drawing from objects and nature is also made a subject of instruction, and the lessons are so arranged as to be of practical use. The Studies of the Evening High Schools.-Upon application of a sufficient number to form a class, the following studies will be taught: English language and composition, higher arithmetic, of sufficient preparation is required. Time of the Evening Schools.-The evening schools begin early in October and continue in session for twenty weeks, on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays from seven to nine o'clock. Students can be admitted to an evening school at any time of the course by applying to the principal. Punctual attendance is required. Location of Evening Schools.-The evening grammar schools are located in the following buildings: Northern part of the city-Eliot School, 4250 Grove Street; Jackson School, Madison and Hogan Streets. Southern part of the city-Blow School, Virginia and Loughborough Avenues; Lafayette School, Ann Avenue, near Ninth Street; Shepard School, Wisconsin Avenue and Potomac Street; some school near the McKinley, if a sufficient number apply at the McKinley High. Central part of the city-Carr Lane School, Twenty-third and Carr Streets; Franklin School, 1633 Lucas Avenue; Patrick Henry School, Tenth and Biddle Streets; Dumas School (colored), 1413 Lucas Avenue. Western part of the city-Marshall School, Lucky Street, between Newstead and Pendleton Avenues; L'Ouverture School (colored), 2612 Papin Street; Simmons School (colored), 4234 St. Louis Avenue. Evening High Schools.-Public evening high schools are maintained in the Central High School Building, on Grand Avenue, near Finney Avenue, and in the McKinley High School, Missouri and Russell Avenues. In the McKinley High School, in addition to the high school work, there will be classes of adult foreigners studying English, and classes in grammar school work with a view to opening a grammar school in the neighborhood. Evening High School for Colored People.-Whenever as many as twenty pupils that are qualified by the completion of the elementary school course shall apply for instruction in high school studies, such as algebra, physics, modern language, bookkeeping or mechanical drawing, classes in such studies will be organized in the L'Ouverture evening school. During the fall the St. Louis public evening schools conducted a series of illustrated science lectures covering chemistry by Chester B. Curtis, principal Central High School, and physics by W. M. Butler, assistant principal Yeatman High School. This series closed December 1, but new series will be opened and information about them can be obtained by addressing Mr. Blewett. We again suggest that proprietors as well as clerks take an interest in the evening school work and see to it that their clerks are competent to pass a preliminary examination before matriculating at the St. Louis College of Pharmacy. This institution found it necessary to return the fees to eleven students who had paid but were unable to come up to the requirements at the preliminary examination, last September. P. A.

The Course in Pharmacy Given by the Ohio Institute Pharmacy, Columbus, Ohio, will elevate the professional standard of any young man. Write for information. Their Latest Production.-The Abbott Alkaloidal Co., Ravenswood Station, Chicago, Ills., have just completed a new and enlarged trade price-list, which contains a number of improved and distinctive features; also a valuable amount of useful information, and druggists will do well to cooperate with them by making requests for a copy of this new price-list. The Best of All, and, for over sixty years, an old and well-tried remedy. Mrs. Winslow's Soothing Syrup has been used for over sixty years by millions of mothers for their children while teething, with perfect success. It soothes the child, softens the gums, allays the pain, cures colic, and is the best remedy for diarrhoea. Sold by druggists in every part of the world. If You Have Never Handled Rudy's Pile Suppositories and desire to do so, it will pay you to write at once and send me the name of your jobbing house, and I will send to you in their care, free of all charges, two (2) boxes Rudy's Pile Suppositories, which retail at 50 cents each, with free samples, a neat metal sign, etc. They are now sold and recommended by over 5,000 druggists in this country, so you need not hesitate to place confidence in them. Manufactured by Martin Rudy (registered pharmacist), Lancaster, Pa. Brown's Bronchial Troches do not contain opium or any injurious substance whatever, the use of which would require a special label on the package. Known throughout the world for fifty years as a preparation of superior merit. Dealers in medicines and proprietary goods can confidently recommend this article as an efficacious remedy for coughs, hoarseness, bronchial and lung troubles. Imitations and inferior preparations represented to be the same as "Brown's Bronchial Troches" should be avoided. Seems to Us That Zymole Trokeys ought to be a mighty good thing for druggists to turn their selling attention to. There is probably no other throat specialty now on the market that is so well known to the general public. and every live druggist should strive to pull to his store part of the constantly increasing demand for them. But widely as Zymole Trokeys are known, knowledge of them is still being more extensively spread by the advertising in the street cars which is being carried on in all the principal cities of the United States and many of the smaller towns. Do not fail to put in a generous stock if you have not already done so, and keep a box prominently displayed on your show-case. A New Industry That Will Rival Petroleum, is that of producing denatured alcohol for light, heat and power. Denatured alcohol is now being used by every navy in the world, nearly every city in France and Germany, and in few American cities. There are no speculative features, no prospecting for an unknown, for denatured alcohol is a necessity in every community on land and sea. The automobiles and the navies of the world consume millions of barrels of it. The market awaits the product. The Continental Natural Gas Alcohol Co., whose advertisement appears elsewhere in this publication, are ready to negotiate with commercial associations or local individuals for this new manufacturing industry at your locality if near gas belt. If interested you will do well to write them. The Bromo-Lithia Chemical Co., at present introducing their product in this city and state, now appear to have perfected a plan that will insure a proper distribution of the full cash paid shares of stock in their company to the five clerks who sell the most BromoLithia within three months of the receipt of the Introductory Quantity. This they are enabled to do because of the serial number upon every bottle and the placing by the clerk of the number of the bottle on every coupon returned. Only five clerks in each state can receive the shares of stock, but every clerk who enters the competition is promised a valuable remembrance or consolation prize, and as the Bromo-Lithia Company has built up an enviable reputation of doing exactly as they promise, we advise all who have an opportunity to enter this competition. The New Usona Self-Closing Tobacco Pouch offers an opportunity to up-to-date retailers for the installation of a most unique and attractive as well as profitable holiday display feature. The pouch was designed to meet a long felt want of the pipe and cigarette smoker who has had to undergo the inconvience of a leaky pouch or bag which it was impossible to close without the use of both hands and the loss of much temper, time and tobacco. In this regard it seems to have fully met expectations as the improved pouch is rapidly coming into general use. It is guaranteed not to leak and its simple though ingenious automatic closing feature appeals at once to the smoker. The pouch is neatly and substantially made and on account of its possibilities as an appropriate and inexpensive gift is especially salable among all classes in the holiday season. The manufacturer is offering liberal discounts to the trade and is advertising extensively in the leading periodicals. Every first class store will undoubtedly receive many inquiries as to this pouch, and it therefore seems that it should be given a leading place among the many interesting and useful novelties which are so essential to the Christmas trade.
