a notion that there may be direct re-
lation between sunshine and the grip

bactericidal influence of sunlight it

"A missionary who has returned to this
country from India says: When the
famine set in the people began to sell
everything they had that they might
get little grain for food. They took
the doors from their houses and sold
them; sold their furniture and farming
utensils, and then, when they had no
longer anything to sell, they sold their
children. The boys don't sell we'll, and
the traffic is largely in girls. I saw girls
IN one town just before I came away
being sold for thirty cents apiece.

ulate the interest of Great Britain in
Canadian news. Moberly Bell, of the
London Times, in recent letter to the
Toronto branch of the union, suggested

per readers should be better informed
as to Canada it should persuade one of
the cable companies to grant the use of
wire for one hour each night for e2,00o
a year, SO that, wrote Mr. Bell, we
should have on the breakfast table each
morning column of news from Anglo
Saxonism beyond the sea.
