Ways to Practice Economy in the
Household Are Many

Those who md II most difficult to
economic are. as rule, those who
need to economic most. The woman
whose husband 10 earning small sal-
AIRY must needs put every cent to good
use, and yet she often knows little or
nothing about catering in a thrifty
way. She complains continually about
the cost of food, not realizing that
her ignorance of how to prepare the
cheaper cuts of meat and the less ex-
pensive vegetables has a good deal to
do with the size of her food bill.
Economy does not merely imply Nv
ing more cheaply, and thereby of
necessity cutting down either the quail
ity or quantity of food, or both. True
economy lies in obtaining as good. or
nearly as good. value for the lesser
expenditure.
How many housewives whose hus-
bands are earning. say. between 81 900
and $1,000 a year. will think 1t be-
meath their dignity to do more than
the most dainty of shopping? The
habit of ordering at the door is an
ingrained one. and to some minds
smacks OF superiority. but an exami-
nation of the extent to which higher
prices have necessarily to be paid in
this way would surprise a good many.
This only applies to the difference
between the actual cash price paid at
the shop and the price charged by the
same tradesman who collects orders
and delivers, and very oeten has to
allow a bill to be run up, to say
nothing of the odd ounces frequently
charged on the bill, which had the
purchaser been present at the weigh
ing, would have been found to be nom
existent.
This, however. il not the only saving
which can be made as between per-
sonal shopping and giving orders at
the door. A keen shopper, with ready
cash available. will soon find sub
stantial difference between various
shops supplying the same commodity
within quite a small radius, if the
trouble is taken to ascertain prices.
This means trouble. but looked at SEN
sibly, it results in the equivalent OF
earning money, for money saved Ia
money earned in distinct sense in

Another point in favor of persons
shopping Is the greater variety OF foU1
obtainable. For instance. in the casl
or fsh. the market Is always uncef|
tain. and systematic personal shoppini
cannot fall to bring with 1t the adj
vantage of buying extremely cheapl1

This point emphasizes the lack ol

If these methods of saving wer(
practiced in many households there
would he a distinct saving on the food
bill. The only point is that to pu|
them into practice involves at timel
certain amount of carrying food

some. This attitude Is to be deploredl
One clever housewife, notwithstanding
