IN every department The business
Of Housekeeping is UNNECESSARILY the
largest business enterprise in the
world" she said, and is entered into
by more people than any other pro-
fession. It IS sad to say that no other
business could ever have survived such
poor mana cement as has character
lied this business in many cases. The
statistics show that nine-tenths of eN-
cry dollar earned is spent in the
household II behooyes every house
keeper to know how that 80 cents out
of every dollar is expended. She
should know what every department of
her household costs. and she should
keep the proportion right The only
way to do this is by a systematic. even
though simple method of bookkeep-
ing"
