I In purchasing* food, attention given ! to weights and measures, collective; buying, comparison of the prices in I - the various stores, and the* patroniz-1 \ ing of merchants who give discounts ! to those who pay cash and carry home their bundles, will do much to decrease expenditures. The amount saved on the individual item may be small, but i'i the aggregate the sum is well worth saving. Those Expensive Clothes We Wear. Alas, for the pocket book of twentieth century civilization, man, and? what is more to the point?woman, too, must have clothes as well as the food. From cave dwelling days on down the ages, we are told that man has loved to see his mate gaily adorned. Doubtless run is to blame for the cost of women's apparel. 11' so, he is reaping the whirlwind of his own sowing, and manv a man whose ! pocket book needs policing and many a woman rendered desperate by rapid changing styles is ready to declare in favor of some sort of standardization in woman's dress. Sensible wo/ men are now buying a coat suit that does not go out of style. We must f urge emphasis upon quality and utility in the purchase of clothes, and, until prices become normal, the buying of only those things actually essential. Youth and Extravagence. The older women on the farms are not the extravagant ones. It is the boy or birl you have sent off to college, that girl we must dress as other girls do, that boy who wants what other fellows have. Wise mothers ai'e / beginning to realize the disastrous possibilities in this day of reckless spending. There is the establishing of a fal^e set ?<f values, a view of life from a false angle. You were shocked when you were first brought face to i # face with the demands of some youngster on his first college vacation, but < you have perhaps learned to endure, then pity, then embrace. Standardizing Dress. ^ Indeed we are getting far too ac- < customed to the absurdities in the : dress in our girls. A country teacher who walks a mile to and fromj school twice each day wearing highii heeled pumps and thin stockings, a < georgette waist and an accordian < pleated silk skirt?and there is one in * Virginia doing just this?may create ] not even an adverse comment, for the 1 cla-.'.ghters of many of. the patrons do likcwire. If older women would > stand squarely for what they know 1 to be suitable in dress and remain < uninfluenced by the fads of youth, i we could accomplish something in an 1 effort to standardize styles and stabilize prices. s j The Budget. I How terrifying a thing we have al- 1 ways found words to be. Juliet was quite wrong when she minimized the significance of a name. If Romeo's < name had not been Montague, a , graveyard tragedy might have hp en \ averted. Perhaps if the word budget did not possess s\ich a combination ' i of explosive consonants, many a housewife would take to its use more, kindly. If anyone can find a softer sounding/epithet that will convey the meaning, let us know. Until the sug-! gestions begin to pour in, however, j we are advocating a budget as a sure way to reduce expenses, and to make i\ savings account possible when the income seems all too meager. After all a budirct is not.himr iyi/iva than an organized plan for using :j;i income?simply a guide for thrifty! living'. The housewife will find that I a budget intelligently kept will do j for her five different things: She; will cease to buy without thinking first; she will be informed regarding relative * prices; she will be able to analyze past xpenditures and she will become a better business woman; Many Ills Due To Catarrh The mucous membranes throughout the body are subject to catarrhal congestion resulting in many serious complications.

I Whether your income is fjxed or; whether, it isn't you can make a pirn j and learn to abide by it?possibly not j always but at least most of the time.: There are certain necessities we! know we must have, no matter where), we iivc or how much money is coming in. If the income is limited, the budget of the thrifty housewife provides in its maximum expenditure the minimum upon which the family can live. Any unexpected increase in the income can always be wisely apportioned by the housewife who budgets. But a budget "reserved for ladies" J is for the family only half a budget. One's husband ought not to be hard < to convert, for most men know that business methods pay. Once in a while, however, you find a man who frankly admits that he would rather spend more money than be bothered about home expenditures. Even he may be persuaded to give the budget a trial, and it is safe to wager that once having put his hand to the plow, he will have not even a longing to look backward. Steps in Budget making. 1. Study your income. Obviously this is a task for both husband and wife. If the income is fixed, coming from but one source,] the task is simple. If, on the other hand, the income is varied and seasonal, your statement may amount to little more than an estimate. If the table has been supplied largely from > the home garden and poultry yard, j the estimate should include the prob-1 able market price of the home prod-1 ucts. 2. Make a plan for spending next i year's income. Your expenditures may be classified under eight general headings: Food; clothing; shelter; operating; recreation and education; ber.evo Food.?In ' a general way food will fal' into five groups: Milk; vegetables and fruits; cereals and cereal foods; meats and meat substitutes; fats, sweets and miscellaneous articles. According to some of the highest authorities on dietaries, a food apportionment divided equally between the five groups will fit average conditions. Clothing. ?Everyone must have clothes?the daughter at high school, the son at college, the little girl in pinafores, and sunbonnets, and the baby in blue rompers. Expense varies in proportion to age, perhaps, but it isn't fair to Mary, who keeps her dresses fresh for another season, to replenish Claudia's wardrobe of uncared for clothes. The mother should know just how much money is being spent for each boy and girl. In other words, whether or not the youngster is permitted to do the spending, each child should be placed on an allowance for clothes?as well as for spending money. Shelter.?If you do not own your home, this item includes rent. If you do, it includes taxes, insurance and repairs. Operating. ? Service. tolenhone. lights,' fuel?indeed, everything: that! can not he included under one of the other heads may be classified as operating. Hecreation and Education.?Here is what helps us to be sure.that Jack is neither too playful nor indeed a, [lull boy. Most Americans have enough fun, many far too much, but still there are hundreds of conscientious souls who claim that in all their lives they have never spent a cent on , recreation. Our health, happiness, . even our future prosperity^ is largely lependent upon our bavin?: the proper amount of fun in the right way. Let your budget* set aside the money , that should be spent on recreation. ; Education includes books of an educational nature, college fees, ler- ' lures, certain trips?and indeed all ' .he expenditures needed to stimulate . the mind and keep us abreast of the 1 ,imes. Benevolence. ? Thrift makes for ' greater generosity.
