COST OF LIVING IN MEXICO.
10 IL Very High. Bat Money Is Made
Easllr-Rieh American Thsre.

Easlly-Rloh Americans There
asked q young American dentist In
San Luis Potosi, q city of lOo,ooo peO-
pie in the north central part Of Mexico
IA rich farming country-what it costs
to live in Mexico
The young dentist lives very nicely.
Like all his kind in Mexico. he is max
ing money and he is saving enough to
make him rich within the next ten or
fifteen years Said he:
Il keeps close account Of my ex-
penseS and as figure it it costs me just
about one hundred and seventeen dol
lars a month. My living costs me for
table expenses two dollars a day, or
sixty dollars a month l pay twenty
FIVE dollars a month for my house and I
have three servants, who average four
dollars a month apiece. Here every
respectable fellow has to have q cook,
a man and a chambermaid. In addi-
ton to the wages of the servants l
have to give them so much a day for
food. Each Of them expects six cents
every morning for tortillas or corn
cakes, which constitute the bread Of
the common people. Then every week
! have to give six cents extra to them
for soap. This is the custom and they
want the money and not the soap.
] once bought twenty five pounds Of
soap and tried to dole it out to them,
but they wouldn't take it. Washing
and ironing are never done in the house
in Mexico. There are public washer
women, who pound and rub the clothes
to pieces after wetting them with cold
water, which they get from public
tanks or bitches. They wear out the
clothes in one-third the time that they
would be destroyed by Cinnamon and |
pay them five dollars a month for do
ing it. My butter costs me seventy
five cents a pound, my milk seventeen
cents a day, and l pay about six a day
on the average for charcoal.
"An ordinary hnnd-me-down suit
costs from twenty dollars to thirty dol
lars. Underclothing is very expensive.
Calico costs eighteen cents u yard. A
very ordinary silk necktie sells for two
dollars. Linen cuffs are fifty cents a pair
and collars three for one dollar. My
wife's dresses count up, can tell you,
and a man has got to make a good lot
Of money in Mexico in order to live as
well as he does at home"

American dentist who will come here
and stay can do likewise. | made five
thousand dollars the first year, and I
have done considerably better right
along since that time. I can charge
bigger prices. I get from one hundred
dollars to n hundred and fifty dollars
for a full set of teeth on rubber. When
ever administer gas | charge ten dol
lars for pulling a tooth, and when a
number are pulled | charge ten dollars
for the first tooth and five dollars for
all succeeding ones. For jerking out a
tooth without gas charge two dollars.
Filings range from five dollars upward,
and gold filings cost from fifteen dol
lars up into the hundreds, according to
the size Of the cavity and the size of
the bank account of the man who has
his teeth filled. l always get five hun
dred dollars for making a set Of teeth
on gold, and all other business Is

Etarage room on each side into shelves,
making at least four Of them, each
two feet deep. The onions can then
be stored twelve or eighteen inches
deep. leaving space enough for free
airing and drying between the layers.
The loft may also be used for curing
onions, or for storing corn and for
other purposes.
II We could depend on dry weather
right along, we might easily dispense
with a curing-shed, lofts, etc, as the
bulbs will cure very we'll outdoors. In
a dry spell we can ever leave the crop
u~hharvested for some time after IL Ia
ready for pulling. But this not a safe
way. Many onions are lost or much
d~eteriorated In value by being left I'M
harvested too long. When the bulbs
have made their growth, the tops fall
over, and gradually begin 10 waste
away. Then Is the time 10 pull the
crop. II left, and a wet time should
set in, the onions will take a new start.
and after having once begun 70 grow a
second time, nothing we might do will
stop them again. They will keep on
growing, and II not used, soon, will
spoil. The same thing IN liable W hap
pen II the onions are left on the ground
to cure, and a long spell Of rainy
weather sets in. Usually we run very
little risk early in the season, ~ a few
days Of hot, dry weather will be all
sufficient to finish the curing process
and get the bulbs in marketable condi-
ton. Later in the season, when rains
r usually more frequent and the sun
has lost much Of its drying power, we
must be more careful with the crop.
Pull in time, leave on the ground for a
few days; then, on q dry day, Rathec
and put into a curing-crib, or thinly on
a barn or shed floor or loft. or in any
other dry and airy place.
