MEN ON SUSTENANCE
Sir, —I agree with "Twenty-one Shillings" when he says it is a mystery how men with families; manage. We have six children to feed and clothe out of the miserable pittance of £1 16s. Our rent is 15s, bread 7s, potatoes 3s. With the lis left 1 have to buy groceries, meat, milk, pay electric light, and buy school books which we are everlastingly called upon to buy. How a woman is to clothe her family certainly is a mystery. Worried Mother.
