GOSPEL IF TKE FULL JAN BEING PREACHED
 BY FEDERAL BUREAU

WASHINGTON, D. C.. Aug. 4.-The gospel of the full can" is being preached this year to commercial can ners by the United States department of agriculture through it's bureau of chemistry, which enforces the federal food and drugs act. commonly called the Pure Food law"
 Inspectors of the bureau Of chemis- try will visit personally as many of the canneries this season as they can reach. They advise that all cans Of food should be packed as full as prac- ticable without injury to quality. They also advise housewives and other pur- chasers to note the relative amounts of solids and liquids in the cans they buy. and to give preference to the pro- ducts of firms that seem to want to give a square deal to the home larder. Examinations of large number of cans put up by different firms reveal wide divergence in this particular.
 The bureau of chemistry specialists have made investigations to determine exactly how much solid food-food from which the liquid has been drained may be put up in the cans of differ ent sizes in common use without in any way injuring the quality of the pro- duct A certain amount of liquid which varies with the different pro- ducts, is necessary. The addition of more liquid than is necessary results in less food in the can. makes an in- ferior product, wastes shipping and storing space, and is unfair to the con- sumer. An honest pack promotes faii dealing, conserveS containers food and shipping facilities. and aids the de- velopment of the canning industry.
 The quantity of drained food, whicf is the solid food exclusive of liquid that can be put more efficiently ana economically in each of the various sized cans in common use, has beer determined for peas, beans, cherries l pears, and peaches, and the canning ! industry has been advised of the re- suits. The drained weights for .othel | fruits and vegetables will be announced l to the canning industry as they ar' determined.
 1 In making a declaration of content! on cans of fruits and vegetables undei the net weight requirement of the fed eral food and drugs act, the tota
 weight of the contents of the car
 liquid included, should be declared. Complete information regarding tn
 application of the federal food an
 drugs act to canned fruits and vege
 tables will be sent upon application t

 culture, Washington, D. C.

AMERICAS BEST HOUSEKE,EPER
 Favors The Beneficial Budget
WRITTEN ESPECIALLY FOR THE ARIZONA REPUBLICAN
 BY MRS. T. o. FRANKS
Awarded a Medal as Americas Best
 Home Maker


 A budget is plan for apportioning ar income to the best advantage, be- fore it is spent.
 The uncertainties of feast or famine are eliminated in this way and in this way only. Whether one has poverty or riches, or Solomon's happy medium, the budget is the only fair way of dis bursting the family income.
 The headings under which such dis bursements scientifically fall are: Food. rent operating expenses, cloth ing and the higher life" Food in 'cludes not only what is spent for house supplies, but for the mans lunches if taken away from home. Rent includes taxes. repairs and mortgage payments. Operating expenses cover telephone, wages to help, fuel, light and fire in surancey "The higher life" includes recreation, travel, savings, doctors bills, gifts books, clubs and personal insurance.
 Since there is a certain limit below which one cannot healthfully go when buying food the amount for this item remains practically the same for many different incomes With an income of $500 per year, 30 per cent to so per cent must be spent in food for the typical family of father, mother and three children.
 With s4OOO for the same number in family, q good working ratio is: Food, 25 per cent; rent, 20 per cent; operat- ing expenses, 15 per cent: clothes 15 per cent, and the higher life. g per cent
 Determining the standards Of fTmg is the joint responsibility of husband and wife. In arriving at a budget, the first question to settle is what sum can we spend year for living ex- penses?" Knowing this, What pro- portion of the income must be spent for rent?" Only when this is settled. can a suitable home be found, and in this too there must be borne in mind the convenience and intelligent ar engagement of the house or apartment, it's accessibility with regard to schools, churches, transportation lines and en- vironment.
 The budget plan has proved of in
