RUN THE HOUSEHOLD
ON BUDGET SYSTEM
Keep Careful Accounts and Divide
Family Income Wisely
Suggestions for Vari-
Gus Salaries.

A budget is absolutely necessary to
the wise and well-proportioned running
of household. No budget can be made
to fit all families, even families Of
similar size, locality, etc, but the we'll
proportioned budget provides fair
financial basis, a starting point from
which to begin the work Of wisely dl.
vidlng the family income.
The main thing is to get the budg-
ct started, to keep careful accounts
In way that will permit analyzation
of expenditures-for at least several
months; q year, If possible. Many
people keep accounts, personal and
household, only in way that balances
cash and shows how it has been gem
orally expended, A budget should do
better than that.
An exact budget is difficult to pro-
vide at present, with all living prices
in a state of tluX but with prevailing
upward tendency. Figures differ great

centers, it has been authenticity COM
puted, food usually consumes about AZ
per cent of the ordinary income, shell
ter IS per cent, fuel and light per
cent, and the various "sundries" so
grouped because so difficult of more

following suggestive budgets for vary
ing incomes the saving item has
been placed first as most necessary
where the family income is not too
large and is practically inelastic.
This item may include life insurance,
savings bank accounts and such inev-
table income-bearing governmental Sc
curities absolutely necessary with the
kind of incomes noted-as Liberty
Bonds aid War Savings Stamps.
