A Dunedin correspondent writes: Millers say that flour is at present not selling as freely as usual. Inquiring for the cause of such a happening, one hears the theory that families not too flush of money are using less bread and economising on potatoes that are now so cheap. And there may be something in the suggestion, for a ton of potatoes at £2 10s will make a lot of food for hungry children. The following figures regarding the cost per bed at the Masterton Hospital, compared with the Dominion average, are of interest:—For the year ended March 81st, 1920, the cost per occupied bed at the Masterton Hospital was j-'238 (average for Dominion. .£lsl 7s); dnily average number of patients at Maeterlon, 46: provision per bed £54 Is (Dominion average. £40.4). In 1921, the corresponding figures were: .£210.8 (£189.3) 53, £50.3 (£47.4)- in 1922, £226.4 (£190.5), 53, £49.3 (£45): in 1923, £191.7 (£184.5), 56, £36.4 (£40.3): and in 1924, £188.4 (£187.4), 51. £42.8 (£39.4). The reduction peg bed at Masterton in five years was £SO, and the increase in the Dominion average was £36. The reduction in provision at Masterton was £l2 per bed, the 'Dominion average decreasing by only £1 per head. Woods put the pep in peppermint.
