Family Economy.

First-Pay cash for everything,
or settle all bills at the end of the
week or month.
Secondly-Examine the sup
plies as they come in, to see if
they are in good condition, and of
the quality ordered; then put them
away in their special receptacles
and in the atmosphere best adapt
ed to their preservation.
Thirdly-Be as careful in the
use of groceries bought in large
quantities as if bought in small
parcels.
Fourthly-Buy fruits, vegeta-
bles, game, poultry, etc., in sea-
son, instead of paying high prices
for unreasonable delicacies, which
are not at their best.
Fifthly-Use up all the left
overs. Tiny scraps of meat and
vegetables, and even spoonful Of
gravy will all contribute to mate
rial for croquettes. A teaspoon
full of jam or jelly will serve to
flavor pudding sauce. But the
ingenious housewife will discover
many ways in which to use the
left-oyers.
