EDITOR LEARNS
NEW WAYS TO ECONOMIC
Housewives Have Solved the Problem OF Living
on Twenty Dollars in
Various Ways

THE value Of systematic housekeeping
i over the slip-shod method Of paying
out for supplies with no regard for ways
and means is shown by the contributions
Of budgets that the Budget Editor IS re-
ceiving daily in the economy contest.
The detailed budget, for instance, sub
mitted by NJ. II. is printed below as
striking example OF how housewife can
manage TO get the most for her money.
The smallest expenditure has not been
overlooked by this contributor. She has
cut her coat, it rs very evident. according
to her cloth.
The second budget published demon-
strates once more how firmly established
is the idea of saving In the minds of most
good housewives. Nearly one-sixth Of her
weekly income Is saved by Mrs. T.
More budgets will be published tomor-
row.
To the Budget Prize Editor, EVENING
LEDGER.
Dear Slr--The following is what I have
found out by experience can be done with
n S20 a week income. We have no visi-
tors, however, and had very few friends
calling on us, otherwise we should have
been In whole lot OF trouble.

ed QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
From Calomel to Salol

After reading what you said about
calomel I stopped taking II for my liver.
Some friends advised me to try salol and
nux vomica. Are these medicines good
for liver trouble?
Answer-Salol Is combination OF car
bolic acid and salicylic acid. Nux vom-
lea consists of strychnine and other less
important things. How either can affect
tho liver is more than we can under
stand. Salol is used as an intestinal anti
septic and In elimination 1t probably af-
some physician who will try to determine
why your liver troubles you-if 1t is the
liver.

the seeds. Measure and add three times
the quantity of cold water; let all stand

equal quantity of sugar, boil two hours,
or until 1t will jelly when chilled, and
pour off into Jars or glasses as preferred.

THE PUBLIC FORUM
WILSON BEACH TREATMENT.
With a party of friends I sought
relief in the lake last Saturday. The
line Of sufferers at the municipal
beach being too long and waiting too
dreaTy, we FASTENED to Wilson beach.
We got to Wilson beach and paid
a quarter each, the advertised price
Of a locker.
'The lockers are all taken" we
we're told by the man on the second
floor, who handed us a basket for
our clothes.
We insisted on at least one locker
for the three of US, having heard that
there were vacant ones to be bought
for little additional; or, we argued,
we wanted our quarters back.
You go up and get a basket, and
if you don't want to you can go to
h, growled one of them, and he
gave one Of my friends a push back
ward.
We protested against this handling.
Then, all Of a sudden, my vision was
dimmed with the mans cOrpulent fist
over my face. In the struggle that
ensued two men fell on me; then,
strangers intervening, l was re-
leased with blue eye, a swollen
cheek and a broken nose bone.
I remained calm and civil in spite
Of the COMPOUNDED reception I re-
ceived for my quarter. All I asked
was to see the manager. He ap-
peared, but would not give me the
name Of my assailant. Instead, he
showed me into a side compartment,
claiming I was obstTucting the pas
sageway. My friends pushed their
way in and released me. - Victor

decided that The Public Forum COM
bined with the editorial department

The Cooperative cafeteria was

derstOOd, be dealt with at special

M. GuyOt Discusses the
Financial Difficulties of
the Moratorium.
NOTE INCREASE DUE
TO CHECK SCARCITY
Income Tax Criticised as Likely
to Cause Withdrawal Of
Bank Deposits.
BY YVES GUYOT.
ts min'ier Of Public works, Fdnor "LAs,ne.
tconomiaue 81 Flnsncler,"

us Gable 70 The Tribune
Paris. Jan. Ill have spoken of
plans that have been discussed for
assuring the resources necessary
until the end Of the war.
One of the reasons it is necessary
TO have such large amount in bank
notes is the small use made Of checks
in France. The French people do not
know how to use checks. and the
plan for an income tax, instead Of
making the use of checks more gen
cral, restraints it. Many persons.
thinking the government will com
putc incomes from the number OF
checks used in the course of the
year, will withdraw their accounts
from banks and hire safe deposit
vaults, where they will keep their
money, thus Withdrawing from cir
culatiOn large sums which must be
replaced by new issues of bank notes.
The question of the moratorium
is always under discussion, and that
Of the moratorium for renters OF
houses and apartments is particular
ly acute in Paris. The small renters
having refused to pay, the large
ones follow their example under one
pretext or another. The provision
that no one called to the colors can
be dispossessed before the end Of the
war has been greatly extended, and
many renters say to proprietors,
1--WE prefer TO put our money into
government bonds. which will bring
US interest"
All expect that at the end Of the
war the state will intervene TO regu-
late the debts Of renters and indem-
Nifty proprietors. At a meeting Of
proprietors, VI. Lairolle, member OF
the Chamber Of Deputies, made a big
hit because he made them that
promise.
Promises of that kind cost moth
ing to those who make them and
bring only deception to those who
believe. But the mentality Of men
who can take such a proposition
seriously proves the definition Of
Bastiat always exact: a state is a
great fiction through which each
would live at the expense of all
others"

There was disposition in the inan-

on February IS. would probably be eN-
tended and the report that j. P. Nor

The reorganization as not unrelated.
So far there has been no sign that the
$500. 600 of interest on the deoehtuIea
tbot ,ras not maid last Saturday is TO
he Forthcoming, but IT is worth remem-
boring that nearly tho full count was
taken on the preceding payment, and
in the ffty-eight DAYS remaining 1e-
fore default can be entered against the

can happen. If the Morgan firm gets
financially interested in the reorgani-

likely 20 be an abrupt cessation OF INC
