In some states it is held that the keeping open of a barber-shop for shaving persons is a work of necessity, but generally such business is not regarded as a work of necessity on Sunday.97 A statute of Illinois prohibiting barber-shops opening and doing business on Sunday has been held to be void as class legislation.98

Section 277. Druggists Selling Medicines. Druggists, generally speaking, come within the exception to the Sunday laws in the sale of medicines, even though purchaser may not ask for a drug for medicine.99 But the exception does not permit druggists to sell other articles than medicines, such as tobacco, cigars, soda water and the like.100 But the sale of cigars and tobacco by hotel-keepers to their transient guests is not a violation of the Sunday law.101
