Of cou he should be dresred sufficiently for warmth, but no more. There I8 no occasion to fear colds it the littie one is allowed to breathe fresh pure air and is not overfed. Over-feeding and breathing over and over again the poison- ous emanations from the lungs cause most of the diseases that attack children at this age, though being weighted down with clothing, hampering every movement and crushing all the desire for exercise, unquestionably assists in bringing about varfous complaints. A healthy, well- groomed, beautiful child always attracts delighted comment, but the fact that the beauty usually disappears long before maturity is rarely considered. There should be no break in the evolu- tion of physical culture, which is the re- sult of the destructive effects of the ab- normal condition connected with educa- tion and environment that produced this geterforation. AN E YR Pbysical Cultuve ; Wages in the Philippines. OMPARISONS are belng made be- tween the conditions of the civilian employes of the Governmentdt Manila and that of the men who are doing the same work for England under her colonial civil service regula- tions. In Hongkong and Bhangha! all desks ‘which pay less than a salary of $150, Mex- ican, per month are given to half-castes, the Government reallzing that it 1s im- salary, he must be responsible for the possible for a white man with the educa- payment of his wages. tion and instincts of a gentleman to live For the same class of labor the English- on less than that amount,._ men In the tropics are paid much larger No civil service man is allowed to accept ' galaries than they receive at home.

The British have in lishing successful colonles throughout the world, and it is said that the secret of it is the splendid class of men who are edu- cated to fill the better positions in the colonial government. The price of living is greater in Manila than any other city of the Orient. With the price of tresh meat ranging from 30 cents to 3150 per pound and everythir else necessary to life-and comfort at the same figure proportionately, it is not cif- ficult to know why civilian employes are giving up the work In disgust. There are many well-educated Amerl- cans in Manila working for less than Zold per month, but it is safe to say that these conditions will exist but a shoit time. The price of meat In Hongkong ad- vanced to 14 cents (Mexican) per pound a few weeks ago, and the foreign colony ‘went Into a state of hysteria. A memorial was addressed to the Chambgr of Com- merce protesting loudly against the crim- inal duplicity of the dealers in bringing about the exorbitant price. In Manila meat may advance from 80 cents to $L 30 and no one kicks, but the landlady who, in order to get even, raises the price of board from $40 to $50 per month and neg- lects to lower it when beef comes down to 50 cents. _ s succeeded estab- a Pieture of Health.
