Al though the law provides that es tates and relatives shall pay 115 ' a month for the support of the pa tients, there Is a provision where by lesser amounts can be accept ed.

' Mexicans Travel Mrs. Kirk says when the Mexi cans have money they certainly live well, but that when they are low ' In' funds that they can live on less than any class ot peo ple that she knows.
