Two years age the Pharmacy Board OF

Living on a Few Cents a Day.

The problem OF living on few cents
a day is not so difficult OF solution II
cEa cares to limit oneself to the actual
necessaries. For instance. we could
point to the workers in the turpentine
forests. who labor hard from sun TO
sun on bill OF fare that costs not
more than or cents per meal. The
average ration OF turpentine hand"
Ia the woods per week is five pounds
OF bacon or pork, one peck Of corn
meal. one quart OF molasses and a
pint of salt The value OF this ration
is about 81 10 $l.l0.
The real problem, then, is not really
how cheaply may one live. but how
many of the extras OF eating one is
willing to do without. - Savannah

Where He Made His start.

A squire in a certain town had just
finished marrying n young couple and
proceeded in n paternal way to give
them good, solid advice. Turning TO
the bridegroom, he said:
Never spend your money extrava-
gantly and be saving in every way
possible"
The bridegroom listened respectfully
and then remarked
"Well, Judge. We might as we'll begin
on you" And he proceeded to give the
squire 80 cents for tying the knot
