HousehoId Expenses.

Whether IL Is the home of the multi
millionaire or that of the humblest
clerk In his employ, the amount of
money to be spent on running the
house should be carefully thought out
and systematized. Many families pre-
fer monthly payments, but for persons
In moderate circumstances 1t will be
found much more economical and
there will be fewer temptations to run
into debt If everything Is paid by the
week. No doubt the best method OF
all Is a cash basis, but this has its in
conveniences. One cannot always find
what Is required In shop, and the
polite butcher or provision dealer, as
the case may be, suggests that there Is
will get the article at the lowest pos
sible rate for you. This is great ac-
commodation in these days, when time
Is money to so many. Then often a
little more Is expended on the article
than would have been necessary had
the purchaser been present. A small
matter OF n few cents on pound
seems a paltry sum to fuss over, but
a few cents on several purchases
reach the dollar mark very soon, and
when the accounts come In sometimes
the results of such a system are ap-
palling. If the credit system is fol-
lowed II IL very much better to let
things alone when the price is an I'M
certain quantity.
1t Is difficult to form any idea Of
what household expenses should aver
age each month, as the tastes and
habits of individuals vary greatly. An
estimate given recently, based on care
full calculation, seems very fair one
for an ordinary family's expenditure
for table expenses. Fran the sum al
lowed for housekeeping one-third goes
to the butcher, to the grocer one-fifth,
the same 10 the dairy; the baker
claims oae-ninth, while to the fish
man and greengrocer is allotted one
fourteenth of the amount.-Philadel-

CLIMATIC CURES

The influence of climatic conditions in
the cure of consumption is very much
overdrawn. The poor patient, and the
rich patient, too, can do much better at
home by proper attention to food diges-
ton, and regular use of German Syrup.
Free expectoration in the morning is
made certain by German Syrup, so is a
good nights rest and the absence of that
weakening cough and facilitating night
sweat. Restless nights and the exhaus-
ton due to coughing the greatest danger
and dread of the consumptive, can be
prevented or stopped by taking German
Syrup literally and regularly. Should
you be able to 60 to warmer cline, you
will find that of the thousands of con-
sumptives there, the few who are ben
Gifted and regain strength are those who
use German Syrup. Trial bottles, 25c;

against Leary.
The inspectors also say that they have learned

there were thirty for $1,000 each. dated Decem-
