MONTREAL PHARMACEUTICAL TonntNAL- FEBRUARY NUMBER - Two '111. very Important lneetiugs have just taken place in Montreal -The Wholesale Drug Association of Canada and the Proprie- tary Trade Assoolatiou of Canada - These meetings were both held for the purpose of considering the War Taxes proposed and which very seriously af- fect both the ManufacturerscE Medicine and Perfumes and the trade of the dis- l;' tributors-eThe Wholesale Druggists. A general meeting of the Retail Drug- gists has been called and will take place this week -A reconsideration has been asked of the Government and a deputa- tion will present the views of the ttades interested at an early date. r The objections to the new measure of taxation as voiced in these meetings with unanimity are several in number. The tax proposed, it was shown, amount- ed to frons 15% to 40% on the usual trade selling prices. The tax being imposed on the price of sale at retail to the public represented on that basis of ealculatiou from 5o to 20%. No other business or industry was taixed to any such extent, and many important lives would actual- ly face ruin if the measure was persisted ,p in by the Government. Instead of yielding y e ding for the war a "]I large amount the prohibitory nature of tbe Tax would defeat the object sought and ruin r i nxospe nus and legitimate business enterprise in manufacturing, The Minister of Finance will be an- .,: i proaehed on the basis of asking idvesti• ,y'nation in detail, it being claimed that the treatment of the manufacturers and fl. dealers as well in the branch affected, is unfair and unjust. The goods involved it tau be sbown cannot stand any suchcharge, and also have already been taxed for the same purpose in respect to all the crude materiel employed in manta facturing same.

The following interesting report was prepared by Mrs. Colson, of Sea - forth, who attended the annual meet- ing of the Red Cross Sneiety at Tor- onto and read at the Meal Hartnett 0n her return. THE POST is indebted to Mrs, P. Scott, Brussels, for the use of it for publication after it being react at Brussels Breach of Ole Red Oros Society and also at the Wowen's In- isttute :- The annual meeting of the Cana- dian Red Cross Society was held on Friday, January 22nd in 0011%10E/W011 Hall, Toronto University, and in spite of the terrible blizzard which was raging at the time there was a large attendance of both ladies and gentlemen, most of the ladies having their knitting. Boy Scones, under a Scout master, all in fell uniform, were the ushers, and during the as- sembling of the people the beautiful organ in Convocation Hall was play- ed ending with the National Anthem at the arrival of the Duke of Con- naught and the officers of the Council of the Canadian Red Cross Society. The President, Lieut. Col. G. Sterling Ryerson was in the chair. After Bishop Reeve, of Toronto, had opened the meeting with prayer, His Royal Highness the Duke of Connaught, dressed in full I4ahki uniform, ad- dressed the meeting and said -"I have Dome here today puposely to tell you how I appreciate the work the people of Canada are doing for the Red Cross Society. I have followed with the deepest interest the splendid manner in which the whole of Canada has responded to the support of the Red Cross Society and I am aware that there is 1101 a village in the ,vhele of the Dominion where the people are not winking, subscrib. ing, or doing both. Only a few days ago I received a letter from my sister, the Princess Christian, who is one of the oldest, if not the oldest member of the British Red Cross Society ask- ing me to convey to the people of Canada her most grateful and limit - felt thanks for the gift of a coach fur the Hospital' train, which she is organizing. I am also very glad to know that the order of the St. John of Jerusalem is working with the Red Cross in Canada as it is in Britain. The reports testify to the careful a(1 - ministration and excellent work done by the Society. Excellent hospitals have been established by the nrgauizatioo both at the front and in England. The manner in which the Red Cross Society and the Arany Medical Department are co.npereting is also a source oP1'-t nn great satisfu i 1 because in 511111 an undertaking es that: of oaring for the sick and wound- ed unit of 01' es u e and nit of administration ale of prime iin- portrtnce," The President, Lieut.

Sir John Gibson, after moving the adoption of air. Marshall's report and commending the great work he had done, said, "The people of Canada are a peaceful people and in lime of peace forget all )about war. Ever since the South African war the Society has 50110 along 0u practically starvation diet and it has been very hard to keep it going at all. \Viten war broke out in South Africa, Dr. Sterling Myerson was the President, and he himself went out as com- missioner t0 `see that everything was properly distributed, and investigated everything, leaving everything at home in my hands. \Vhen peace was deflared there was some $0,000 in the treasury which has, since that time, been 111 .trust and was the neat -egg %1'e had to start out with at the outbreak of the pee80111 war." The treasurer, Col. the Hon. ,lames Mason, then read his report which showed theft the re- ceipts of the Society for the past year were 1$270,201 in cash. The motion for the adoption was moved by Col. G. A. Sweuy who said, "Qur work is roily just beginning. We must be patient, and still more patient, and still make greater sacrifices, and when I appeal ill behalf of this time charity I know that Canadians will give us their help." Mrs, Plumtree, Superintendent of supplies, was then culled upon to ad- dress the meeting.
