cured; the Chinese coolie seems to an
swer better generally than the sug-
gested native from India or white I'M
skilled labor, and the success of utiliz-
ing the labor of the American negro
appears decidedly probIematical John
Chinaman can and will work under
conditions that the Kaffir did, and with
his tireless energy and low standard OF
living is the present hope of the per-
picked South African BUSINESS man.
We are wont to think of the Trans,
vaal as a "gold-produeing world but
farming really is the occupation of the
great part Of South Africa. The year
1908 has seen both agriculture and in
industry gradually, ii painfully,
being restored, and land as well as
mine needs the industrious Chinese. He
will work where the white man cannot
and will not, and work with zeal I'M
known to his darker brother, the Afri-
can. To meet the needs OF employers
and promoters Of new enterprises it
was proposed the native laborer might
be regained and procured by the old
appeal to the head-man of the tribe to
send in a certain number of laborers
each year: and the abrogation Of the
hut tax was also suggested. But the
three-year contract system met with
strongest approval.
In the framing of the contract labor
law great pains have been taken to
avoid the features that in the past
had put contract labor in bad odor.
Direction is given that the laborers be
provided with hygienic surroundings,
medical attendance and transportation
home at the expiration of their con-
tract; all to be under government in
spection.
With the entrance into South Africa
of this new element, the Chinese, the
white man who there bears the burden
of social harmony will find an addi-
ton to his Dutch-Kaff1r-E English prob
lem; but the business depression calls
for decisive action, and mayhap the
Chinese coolie will prove satisfactory
solution of the Industrial side of the
question.

Every child should be taught that

greatly on the quantity of fluid that

but two cases where any foreign body
had been found in the appendix. This
