one can realize the suffering attendant
upon an attack of the grip, unless he has
had the actual experience. There is

successfully defes medical aid. All dan

is easily learned, and a child Of five
can easily pick four measures day,
which means the earning of forty
cents. An adult picker can gather
from thirty to forty measures day,
which is good wages
