A HORDE OF PARASITES. “Behind the special problem of over-population in Britain there is another tendency, even more farreaching and destructive. It is proliable that a majority of the population are now in receipt of State-re-lief, in free education, doles, pensions, and what not. We arc creating a vast parasitic class wholly or partially supported !by the industry of the remainder. This is not socialism, though socialistic arguments may he used to justify it; it is more liko the doles to the populace of Rome which exhausted the Imperial exchequer. Tt :js a millstone round 'the neck of British trade and enterprise, under which we seem likely to sink. And no political party would dare to touch it with a little linger, except to make it worse. The opinion is growing that politics is an extremely expensive, 'game. . . The grandmother of parliaments seems to be in her dotage.”—Dean Inge.
A slight cold causes much disctorn(opt. But “ Nnzol ” gives prompt relicf. All wlio’ve tried it praise it. fiO dosoß for 1b 6d.— Advt.
