themselves and found themselves at

FRAMING A BUDGET
A Help to Wise Spending Rathsy
Than to Parsimony.

Mr.. J. H. PueHcher, State d.
rector of War Savings for Wisconsin,
has prepared budget for incomes
from $500 year upward. which has
been pronounced practicable.
The budget provides 40 per cent for
food, clothing 13 per cent, shelter Ii
per cent, fuel and light per cent,
sundries, including savings, % per
cent. He considers the following a
fair example: Food $3.50, clothing
SLY, shelter $163, light and fuel
$3.50, recreation $36, church and
charities $24, insurance $4S, carfare
$3.50, savings $26, miscellaneous. in
Guiding literature, SGT.
For $4,000 income the proportions
suggested are: Food s72O, ciothins
$3.50, shelter $3.50, light and fuel STA.
recreation $108. church and charities
$72, insurance SOS. carfara $3.50, saw
ings $3.50, miscellaneous, including lit.
erature and physician, $50. help in
house $3.50. Some items are too low
for eastern conditions, notably hous-
ing and carfare. while others might be
reduced.
To save is imperative. Some
people are born thrifty, some achieve
thrift, but most of us have thrift
thrust upon us by high prices and
restricted incomes. To all the budget
is the universal help, and as q safe
investment for small savings, War
Savings Stamps should be the Ant
consideration after the necessities.

proposal of the state of New York,

MARYLAND the First State

Maryland is the first state to appro
pirate money with which to erect a
State Building on the National Ex-
position Grounds at the National
Capital. Construction will start as
soon as the exposition grounds have
been little further compelled. These
are located on a great area of re-
claimed land on the Eastern Branch
of the Potomac River, about a mile
distance from the Nations Capitol
building. The exposition will be
constructed as a permanent memoir
al to the great war. Each State is
to erect it's own building and the Nat
ional Government is to construct a
large exhibition building in the cen
ter of the park, in which patriotic So
cieties and other organizations may
hold meetings and make their nat
ional headquarters. 1t is planned to
make the exposition the show place
of the Capital City.
