An attempt to answer the difficult question: "How to feed a family of five' on' 125, gd. a week?" is made in a publication of the York Health and Housing Reform'Association."-"
The sum of ras, gd. bas heen selected, bo. cause it is the amount estimated by Mr. B. Seabobm Rowntree (honorary secretary of the association), in his work an. “Poverty," to be the lowest cost of a diet which will keep a family of five in full vigour. The family is supposed to consist of a father, doing fairly hard work, a mother, and three children, aged 15, 8, and 5.
Also let us conceive that the States of Europe dream of interdicting, within their own territory, HOW TO FEED A FAMILY ON 115, 9D.A WEEK. the use of opium to those of their subjects who as regards their functions or for other motives, depend upon the will of the governments and on their finances. The use of opium should not, it would asem, be withdrawn from these categories, any more than the use of ether or of absinthe. As for the simple citizens whose liberty of action cannot be hindered so long as they pay their taxes and do not compromise the laws of public safety, it is necessary to have the spirit of Denys of Syracuso in order to pretend to prevent them from amusing them selves and intoxicating themselves-at their discretion. But one bas never asked whether outside of Europe, the same reasons of bygienę) and of the proprieties exist, to incite us either to restrain the use of opium in our possession or to interdict it to Europeans inhabiting these torrid climates; or above all, by' that interdic tion, to provoke the most delicate economic problem, and to compromise and destroy the fascial equilibrium of the colonial possessions of Europe in Asia. ..
