of money It tends to eliminate
waste. 1t encourages saving: in
deed, it makes saving possible. IN
other words, il makes the business
affairs of the household successful.
Saving money does not mean
miserliness. The basis OF saving
is wise spending. Those things
which are needed should be bought.
but a relentless war should be
waged against the foolish habit or
buying useless and expensive lux
uries.
Each family must decide whether
TO buy or rent its home; il must de-
eide whether IL is better to board or
keep house. whether the family
owns its home or rents, whether II
boards or keeps house, the budget
system should be used, for ~ ho
other way can the business partners
OF the household be assured OF get
ting the best use of their mono.
&c. real estate of any kind should
be purchased until the title is
proved absolutely clear. All deeds
and contracts should be drawn in
correct legal form and should be
fled in court of record. This
matter should be attended to BY
lawyers of recognized standing and
ability. Every person owning prop
erty should make n will and this
should be carefully and accurately
written. Wills correctly drawn
obviate endless troubles in settling
estates.
one should never neglect to carry
ample life insurance and fire insur-
ance. Care should be exercised in
placing the policies with Thoroughly
reliable companies.
1t is not wise to keep too muCh
cash at home. The money should
he placed in bank or invested In
Liberty bonds, Treasury Savings
Certificates, war Savings Stamps Or
other standard securities. Invost-
ments should be made for safety
rather than for large or quick re-
turns. The budget however, will
show just how much is needed for
current operating accounts and this
money kept in bank tends to give
credit, when needed, and IL entities
the deposltor to financial advice
from the bank officers.
The Washington times., 1920-01-28

First-the budget. This is
carefully made plan for dividing
the probable annual or monthly in
come among the necessary and de-
sirable things such as rent, food,
clothing, operating, and personal
expenses. education, recreation, and
reading, church and charity, saw
ings, doctors bills and medicine.
The budget is worked out in ad-
vance and is usually written down
for easy and constant reference.
Experience in hundreds and thou
sands of households shows that
the income can be more wisely
spent il the budget system is fol-
lowed, and this wisdom invariably
leads to an increase in saving; that
is, to an increase in the security OF
the family.
Second--Accounts OF money re-
ceiyed and spent. This Is a matter
OF very simple bookkeeping. 1t re-
Quires no extensive or specialized
knowledge; merely common sense.
Business accounts OF a household
may be kept in an ordinary blank
book or, II preferred, card index
system may be used. The latter,
quires more work, but at the same
time II is probably worth the adj
ditionnl trouble. The card index
system, however, Is not necessary
for small homes. .....
Third-Statement OF what the
family owns. This should include
not only lists OF real estate, bank
deposits. Liberty bonds, and other
Government securities and such
standard investments but also the
inventory Of household furnishings
and personal belongings. These
lists should be kept down to date.
They should show the purchase
price of all goods or articles
bought: the present value OF all
important items. Such lists help
in making out tax returns. in taxi
ing out insurance, and in settling
