of seven can obtain days rations for

Commenting on the situation, the
finance committee of the organization
has issued the following statement:
Here is a situation Of which every
man and woman in Chicago should
take cognizance. One in every seven

way to the attention of social service
agencies in one year. Only one in

The visiting housekeepers OF the SO
city have been initiating housewives
in straitened circumstances into the
science OF judiclous buying. Accounts
kept by tenement housewives-even
those with regulations for economy
often show bad buying, Three mis-
takes common to the injudicious house
wife have been found to be; First. the
loss through buying In small quanti-
ties; second, the extravagant price
