. We heard a good lady say the
other day: "Unless the salaries of
the ministers, who r getting rather
meagre pay, is raised, 1 do not know
what some of them are to do in this
time of high cost of everything"
This is a very pressing question with
some of our %laborers, and the con-
ditions require serious attention.
People should remember this and
give any help they can. One good wo-
man remarked: II am embarrassed
when the meat man comes to the
door,"
