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 a household No budget can be made
to fit all families, even families of
similar size, locality, ETC., but the we'll
proportional budget provides q fair
financial basis, starting point from
which to begin the work of wisely di-
viding the family income.
The main thing is to get the budg-
ct started, to keep careful accounts
in a way that will permit analyZation
of expenditures-fOr at least several
months; a year, if possible. Many
people keep accounts, personal and
household, only in way that balances
cash and shows how it has been gen.
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 flux but with a prevailing
upward tendency. Figures differ great
ly in various sections of the country,
frequently in various sections OF the
same state. But in strictly industrial
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 6 per
cent, and the various "SundrieS" so
grouped because so difficult of more
exact classification, 20 per cent. In the
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-
liable income-bearing governmental Sc
curities absolutely necessary with the
kind of incomes noted-as Liberty
Bonds and War Savings Stamps.

Words That Mean Much.

The sonorous opening of Lincoln's
Gettysburg speech, "Four score and
seven years ago." is not equivalent to
eighty-seven years ago! Prose hath
her harmonies, no less than poetry. It
is such subtleties that make up the
full effect of literary expression.
"Victuals" is not equivalent to "food,"
"deathlessness'' is not the same as
immortality as Lowell showed
when he suggested that we try con-
verting Wordsworth's title, "Intima-
tons of Immortality" into Hints Of
Deathlessness" NORTH American Re
