that this subject should receive the atten.

should be raisi-d to take the place of those

After seven years his partqer.in the brick

whole seven years they had shared the
same table together, they had each ex
pended on an average only twenty-five
cents per day; inclue!ng .food and clothing
for their servants anl all the other ex
