A FAMILY BUDGET.

In many cities throughout the coun-
try housewives are organizing to en-
courage careful buying. This is more
than an incident in the campaign
against the high cost of living. The
women of the country hold the purse
strings and by their expenditures
direct money into productive or un-
productive channels.
1t is a matter of common observa-
ton that two families may be of the
same size and have about the same
income. Yet one will live in comfort
and save a little. while the other
allows it's bills to outrun its income
The difference lies is wise and care
full expenditure. This does not mean
penury or. boarding. but simply the
proper distribution of income to meet
the various family needs. a.

AN OLD zEST GONE.
Paramount. Mimi, Sentinel,

Ford cars now have self starters.
AS Henry, at last accounts, was $780,
600 cars behind his order, probably
these few words of free advertising
will not greatly affect his business.
And we do want to say something
about Henrys cars.
Besides making walking a pleasure.
Mr.. Ford did a lot of things for us.
And now he is going to spoil it by
putting a spluttering thingamabob to
do your cranking for you.
Personally one of the chief thrills
we get out of our automobile" is
turning the handle that sticks out of
it's front piazza.
1t requires no brain nor Drawn to
stomp on a button and make your
engine wheeZe.
But to properly crank flivver is
a fine art.
The art crankist gives Betsy Just
one slight unheave. and she snorts.
He does not whirl the crank madly,
nor does he puff, and pant. and sway
in the roadway.
Just the slight upward touch of the
true artist and the faithful Henry
talks back to him every time.
And in the wintertime what JOY
there was in getting the old reliable
to rattle.
You started at a. m. and at you
got the first backfire.
Such muscle as we have was heap
ed on our bones. layer by layer,
through the chill months, and the only
callouses a lot of us display came
from caressing the handle of the FAM
lily flivver in December.
To date the Ford has been req
ular institution, a different institution
one that required energy and intelli-
gence to start and high degree OF
endurance to keep going.
But with self starters, and rea
springs and, maybe, even a cushion
two inches thick and tire bigger thar
a bicycle tire. the old Ford Is sc
civilized and humanized that all the
sporting JOY of running it will be lost
forever.

THE GOLD RUSH IN MANITOBA.

Though probably not one prospector
in a hundred strikes it rich" and
still smaller proportion Of claims de-
velop into profitable mines, the lure
Of gold-gold that may be dug out of
the earth by any who find it--con
tinues to exert powerful fascination
on mankind. as is illustrated by the
report the stampede to the Copper
Lake district of Manitoba. where the
precious metal has been discovered
in quartz and nuggets close to the sur
face A sensational rush" to the
scene of the discovery is taking place,
calling to mind the magnetic influence
which gold finds in California, Aus
tralia and the Klondike exercised in
the last century.
Not many of the gold seekers are
likely to make fortunes in the new
field, for as mining operations are now
conducted a considerable outlay of
capital is required at the outset, so
that the production of gold is mostly
in the hands of corporations. and the
individual cannot hope to accom-
plish much single handed. Moreover,
another source of income which in
the old-time mining camps was almost
as profitable to the proprietor as a
gold mine is now denied to those
whose enterprise takes that trend. The
gambling hall and immoral resort are
now outlawed in the wild parts of
Canada, as well as the old and thickly
settled regions, and life in the Cobalt
and Porcupine camps is about as tame
as in Toronto.
Outside of the initial stampede, one
need not expect to find much of the
picturesque or romantic in the new
Copper Lake camp. If ore is found in
paying quantities large mining com
panies will be organized; the miners
will be. to a considerable extent,
foreigners, who will work for day
wages; and the fortunes made will go
to those who have been judicious in
the acquisition of the shares of the
successful companies. A town will
spring up, but it will not be resemble
the gold mining camps pictured in the
movies
The production of the precious
metal is rather prosaic business
nowadays, Notwithstanding this. we
can expect whenever report comes
from some wild country Of the dis
covery of nggets, to see a flock of
adventures at once setting forth for
the scene.
