how TO MAKE CUFFS LAST LONGER.

In the April Woman's Home Compan-
ion appears a department called The
Exchange, in which readers give each
other the benefit of practical sugges-
tions developed out of household expert
ence. A New Jersey woman tells as
follows how to make cuffs last longer:
81 found by experimenting that cuff
which was worn at the fold could be
ripped off where it is attached to the
sleeve, and reversed, using what was
originally the wrong side back. After
slipping the sleeve into the reversed cuff
again, l whipped it neatly on both sides,
as had no machine. This will prolong
the life of the shirt several months, and
really is very little trouble and can be
done quickly"

An examination of a number of orch

vealed the fact that the peaches are liv-

buds are found dead, and if one third of
the buds now living remain alive the
trees will have more fruit than they can
carry. John j. Roosa, a well-known
fruit grower, states that his orchard is
overlooking with live buds and that his
crop will be a mammoth one if some

man who employed he peasant on the

toll at small wages, also bought his
products at small prices. 1t was a
sweatshop system applied to farm

100 to 120 per cent while the peas

In good seasons the peasant could
raise enough food to keep himself

Other System Not Much Falrer.
In Wallachia. the southern prov
ince, the system was different, but
not much fairer. There the peasant
paid his rent by working the land
of the capitalist.
Here is typical instance: The
peasant has six hectares to care for.
OF these two hectares are for the
capitalist and he gets everything
which comes therefrom, and the cap
italist's hectares are, of course, the
best land. On two hectares the peas
ant donates partial service, undertak-
ing the moving, harvesting and haul
ing. The peasant gets a maximum Of
four decaliters Q,136 bushels) of
grain from these two hectares, the
capitalist gets the rest. In addition.
the peasant pledges himself to four
days teaming. four days labor and
nine days hauling. The peasant.
therefore, has to produce the remain
ing two hectares.
The peasant is required to do the
capitalists work before doing his
own. His land being poorer than the
capitalists, it often happens that he
gets only half the profit from his two
hectares, which the capitalist makes
from his two. And the whole system

other name. OF 100000 dwellings
only $4,000 were of brick, 5000 were
of wood, the rest of mud. Most OF
these were of one room, where the
whole family lived. even with domes
tic animals.
Under these conditions mortality
was high, especially infant mortality
which was more than 40 per cent
The chief food was polenta, a corn
