A big loaf of brown bread, a few vegetables, and an un]imi:ed supply of spring wafer is sufficient for Ins limited requirements for a considerable period. Under these circumstances it is not lo be wondered at that he considers that the salaries of the Civil Servants too high by one half.” Commenting on the above a contemporary remarks —Mr Saunders’ abstemiousness may be partly accounted for by the fact lhat, in ihe language of old Bast Indians, “be has a liver.” If he. indulges in good living, he must pay the penally, and he prefers to abstain.
