To the Editor of the "Norta-Cuixa Dairy News."
Sin,—"Saps Souci" misses. the point. 'Tls. 150 ostensibly allows for "food and drink for four and such articles as Scott's emulsion. ete., for children." If he will read the' list carefully.he will see that there is no allowance made for hospital expenses, and only is. 1.80 for savings each month. Several other items are not allowed for. Everything must come out of the food allowance of Tls. 150—this has to be elastic. Tls. 300 in 1912 was worth more than Tls. 450 to-day.
I admit the list might have been better put. We can, however, be grateful for "Dum Dum" who does express the local situation very well.
