50 a week, and tries to live decently
and comfortably, in these days of high
prices, faces a financial problem that Is
most serious. If he has a wife and two
or three children, and tries to provide
them neat home, the necessaries of
life with luxury semi occasionally,
dress his children SO they will look as
prosperous as the average child who
attends school: II he wishes to carry.a
little life Insurance to protect his loved
ones In case he is taken by death; II
he desires to provide the little things
to which he thinks his family is en-
titled, he will find 50 week does not
go very far OF course, there are some
people who get along better on 50 a
week than others do on $12 or SIS.
That is matter Of management. But
as a general proposition, 50 q week Is
hardly enough to support a family
these. days, The American people have
more money in savings banks than
they have ever had, but it Is safe to
say that the man who Is trying to sup-
port his family on 50 a week is not the
one who is depositing much money
weekly or monthly. The cost of living
is very high and 1t does not show any
disposition to decrease.

mother appears weak and comparative
ly unhealthy. Lack of nourishmem
he thinks, will be likely to appear as
low vitality in later years.
Even the most modest homes are
usually beyond the reach of such an
income, but this family is paying
building and, loan company S15 a
month to acquire small house. There.
fore it may be considered the family Is
putting aside IS per month for invest
ment.
Two tons of coal must be purchased
for fuel during the winter. gas for
cooking must be bought and little
insurance on the man and several
small children adds a small item. The
woman makes most of the clothes for
the family, but occasionaily cheap suits
are bought. The cost Of clothing varies
with the working capacity of the over
burdened mother Shoes make up an
unrelenting item and are constant
source OF worry.
Is this the way that the family Of an
honest, conscientious father and
competent mother should be growing
up?

LIVING ON $40 A WEEK.
(Sioux City Tribune.)

(S1Oux CITY IflpuEe.)
How does a family Of eight live in a
city OF million and quarter inhabi-
tants, on an income of $40 a week?
Ii is painful to ask such question,
still more so TO answer 1T. But George
b. Mangold, instructor in sociology in
the University OF Pennsylvania, tells
in the Philadelphia Public Ledger just
exactly how one family Of this size
manages to exist on an income OF $500
a year. That this home is not an ex-
ceptional one is shown by The 1900
census. which tells that half the male
American wage earners were then re-
eeiving less than s436 a year, Tho
wages have advanced somewhat since
then, the cost of living has increased
still more
The family of which DR.. Mangold
writes consists Of father, mother and
eight children, ranging from to u
years of age. The father earns $40
week turnout the year, but that Is
the only source of income. The very
capable wife, therefore, must exercise
wonderful ingenuity to give all enough
to eat, to clothe them and keep them
warm.
The family food bill averages 1928
a week, never more than "a. The food
consuming power OF the family Is
equivalent to at least four and half
adults. Considering their diet and as
Stunning that each article is of Standard
nutrient quality) Mr. Mangold con-
,cllldes the family is suffering quite
severely from NAL and espec-
tally that muscle producing foods are
ipadequately represented. Girard col.
leges reports san annual food cost per
capita Of about $40. On this basis, the
family OF eight should have 1875 year
for food, Instead OF 5000.
Examining the larder it is found the
family consumes a twelve pound bag
of -four, six pounds of sugar and
large basket Of potatoes every week.
A dozen eggs suffices for an entire
week Bacon, ham and Goldfish are
served at irregular intervals and twice
a week, perhaps, fresh meat Of inferior
quality granes the table. Prunes and a
half bushel of apples per month supply.
the fruit Breakfast foods. rice and
beans find place, but butter Is lux
ury and cheap syrups partially dis
place it.
The menu for two days, taken at
random, follows:
January 25-Breakfast, oatmeal,
bread and molasses; lunch, Goldfish
gravy and bread; dinner, fish cakes,
bread and jam.
February Breakfast. cornmeal
mush, bread and butter; lunch, baked
potatoes and ham; dinner, bread and
apple sauce.
Notwithstanding their rather meager
