WHAT TO EAT
NEXT WEEK
(BY 5iDDY sYE.)

The first duty OF the housewife
marketer is careful thought.
First-the thought that breads, cere-
ais, fruits and vegetables are cheaper
than meat and should form the bulk of
the diet. Second. the thought that
some cuts of meat are far cheaper than
others. and that eggs, cheese, beans and
peas. and macaroni are excellent meat
|@substitutes. Also that cereals and veg
etables properly combined with meat
can make a small amount go a long
way.
Third that carefully planned menus
made for a week ahead, help the
marketer to buy only what is needed
and no more-avoidins waste and ex-
travagance.
Fourth, the thought that foods bought
out of season Or in times OF scarcity
are an unnecessary extravaganza.
Fifth. the thought that milk. however
expensive, is a cheaper food and more
important than meat. Each child under
Is should drink or eat in food one quart
day, and every adult requires one pint
each day.

cording to the appetite.

After the housewife has saved and
scrimped to the limit in managing
her household expenses and still ends
refuse to meet, there is one thing re-
naming to do.
Make budret and live up to It.
A budget is organization and sys-
tenn in spending. 1t is knowing be-
forehand just what the income for
the month or the year Ill be and
dividing that income among the
known expenses.
On this page are published two
budget tables-one for the average
family of five with incomes varying
from $500 to $400 per month, and an
other for two persons with monthly
incomes of from 800 to 100.
For those scoffers who think the
savings suggested are impossible I'M

wish to publish an article written by
request by friend with whom l. dis
cussed these budgets.
"They are founded on the wrong
principle, according to my notion"
she said, because they provide too
little increase of savings as the in
come increases"
but most people complain that
they cannot save at all. Have you a
theory that one can save even more
than these ideal budgets allow"
II have not only a theory, but the
proof. I've done It,"
Write about it; the world needs
to know" l urged.
