Professor Hurst, in an address that was intensely interesting and ful] of humor, outlined the history of the drug store from the time when an apothecary was essential- ly a compiler of perfumes, to the present day when he sells almost anything at all, In Canada, how- ever, the pharmacists association encourages druggists to stick more cosely to the English type of chem- ist shop rather than to the ultra- modern soda fountain drug store of the United States, said the speaker, Touching upon the modern drug business, Professor Hurst declared that a survey had shown that there were no less than 50,000 prepara- tions made today intended to be sold in drug stores and that 5,000 of these were to be found in the aver- age drug store, Half of them had to do with the dispensary and about 500 of these were made from coal tar, Coal tar he showed, is an impor- tant part of the chemical world to- day. It has produced synthetic substances replacing the precious dyes of insect and plant, outstrip- ping the perfumes of nature her- self, even making possible the manufacture of flavoring extract, drugs of all kinds, and explosives. After Professor Hurst's address Dr. G, L. Bird tendered the thanks of the club, Vice-president George Hart was in the chair for this meet- ing, president G. D, Conant having been called out of the eity.

Mr," Schell gtated to the couneil that the Children's Aid Society had received several bequests for large sums of money to he used for only capital expenditures, and that these would be sufficient to enable the So~ ciety to proceed with the erection of the building and finance it, The gift of a site assured that a Child- ren's Shelter would be built at an early date, probably this sumnrer. New Ehelter Needed The old shelter building, which was a residence transformed for the purpose, is becoming a bill of expense, with frequent repairs be- ing necessary. and is not adequate in its accommodation or appoint. ments, Mr. Schell stated. The new shelter will contain adequate dor- mitories for both boys and girls; proper play rooms; adequate de- tention rooms and an isloted wing for hospital purposes, Mr, Schell suggested that the county and city council get togeth= er, appoint one member from each, and with a third man from the So- ciety, handle all the financial bud~ geting and administration of the Society, He declared that the So= ciety had never been officially re- eognized by the eity and asked that this be done. T. H, Everson said that the work of buiding a shelter entailed con- siderable labor and responsibility, and asked the council to take an ac- tive interest in the plans and erec- | tion of the shelter. He continued, with the statement that the salaries paid by the society totaled $4300 to $4,500 whereas the total grants of both city and county councils amounted to $2,400 per year, The balance was borne by the subserip- tions fo private individuals. Referred to Committee On motion of Aldermen G, Hart and F. J.
