He has the mental-motive type of temperament, which makes him a student, thinker and planner rather than an ease-loving man. quite original, preferring to work out his own ideas rather than those of others, when he believes that he is right and others are wrong.

It wag hoped to solve this prob- slem by two legislative measures, one fixing the prices of food prod- ucts, and the other forbidding ex- jports, by means of high dutjes which practically made exports im- spossible. It is now announced by M.

The method has been a success for twenty-four years and in more than eight thous- and cases.
