THE PRICE OF BuGAR (Toronto Globe.) It is di It to see how the price of sugar can be maintained at from 22 to 24 cents per pound retail in Can- ada when all along the frontier the wholesale price in the United States is 15 cents per pound. Unless the re- finers across the border have,a gentle man's agreement not to sell at do- mestic prices for export to Canada there would not appear to be much difficulty in buying across the lire, paying duty and freight on a consid- erable haul, and selling the sugar at a figure below 20 cents per pound. Is it lack of enterprise that pre- vents Canadian wholesale and retail grocers from carrying on a profitable import business in sugar, or is the trade so tied up to the Canadian re- finers that Hberty of action in buying would lead to punishment? — a _ Paper.

Dur- ing my recent trip through the four western provinces I conferred with the newspaper heads in nearly all of the large cities and in almost every instance had a very courteous re- sponse to my request. I left with them certain material which had been’ prepared and which they have already used to a considerable extent. Any material which may be sent to you may be used in any way you wish, either not at all, or altered to suit your own convenience and taste. One of the mést important develop- mgnts of medical missionary work is along the line of medical, dental and nursing education and training. Very great stress is now being laid on this phase of our work as~holding out sults in the future. It is with this phase of the werk that I have been particularly busying myself during }-my furlough, and I should be very glad if you will be willing to lend the influence of your valuable paper to stressing this side of the, medical work in foreign lands.
