PREVENTION OF WASTE.
CHINA, it has often been said, is a land of contradictions, and that explains, perhaps, the paradox that the Chinese are among the most economical and the most wasteful people on the face of the earth. Nothing could excel the care and thought for economy of the average sur vivor in the struggle for existence in China By millions of the race the struggle is waged from early morning nntil late at night and the material results to there are such that in many cases Europeans marvel that human beings can live under such conditions Yet China, as a nation, reveals the most prodigious waste.
