BUDGET PLAN HELPS MANY
HOUSEHOLDS.

American housewives are being
urged by high officials of the Gov
eminent to adopt the budget system
in family bookkeeping Members of
Congress who advocated and worked
for the passage of the law creating
the Bureau of the Budget insist
that the same principle should be
adopted in every home in the Unit
ed States. Those who have made
study of the question contend that
wives and mothers are better man.
ayers than are the actual bread
winners of the family. Much of the
financial difficulty in great many
American homes, the advocates of
the household budget assert, is due
to to the lack of some system suit
ably apportioning the family in
come to cover the cost of food, shell
ter, savings, clothing, and the other
things which must be provided for
decent and comfortable living, not
forgetting provision for education
and wholesome recreation.
Failure of commercial establish
ments to chart theil course in such
way as to avoid the reefs and
shoals of bankruptcy has resulted
in many business shipwrecks. Lack
of knowledge of the exact financial
condition of his business has caused
many a man whose conduct has
been marked by enterprise and
energy to come to grief. Many of
the troubles and worries in the Am
erican home have been caused by
the same sort of ignorance. The
problem cannot be solved by merely
living within the family's income
The contents of the pay envelope
must be apportioned in such a
way as to leave a reasonable sum
each week for some saft invest
ment. Treasury Savings securities
are backed by the strength of the
Government; pay interest at the
rate of per cent per annum, CON-
pounded quarterly, when held to-
maturity, and can always be con-
verified into cash at more than the
purchase price.
Recognition of the sac effect Of
the lack of system in family fl
nancing has caused many newspa-
pers and publications to advocate
the budget system for the house
hold. The Boston Transcript, one
of the oldest and most influential
newspapers in the United States, in
commenting on the campaign that
is being conducted in Massachusetts,
by the Association for the Promo
ton and Protection of Savings, says
that the failure of many wage-earn-
ers to save some part of their in
come is a situation that is confined
to no one class of society. 1t
creates conditions, says The Trans
eript, under which the well-to-do
find Patience and temper tried IA
efforts to keep the bills paid, and
that among the poor the necessaries
must often be dispensed with be-
cause the money that would have
paid for them has mysteriously dis
appeared.

"The effort to inculcate habits

under which the savings of the
workers may be so invested as to
make thin virtual partners of en-
ploying concerns are familiar. There
has also been persistent effort to
educate wage earners to habits of
prudence and saving. But the cam

Of methods of advice and instruc-
ton adapted to a novel and com
plicated task.
The undertaking is one that de-
serves success. The day has gone
by when Americans can afford to
live up to their old-time reputa-
ton as nation of extravagant
spenders. There may be preva-
lent idea in the Old World that
every Yankee is millionaire, but
on this side of the water we know
that the mass of our people must
count the cost if they would live
in comfort and share in the lug
uries of life. 1t is a period when
earnings are to be reduced in many
lines because of the readjustment
from wartime to peace-time con-
ditions. That makes it all the more
desirable that not only the wage
Garner but the man with the white
collar job should learn how to
spend to advantage

OLD uGE.

Old age and decline may be as
gentle and sweet and graceful as the
sequence of blossom and fruit and
harvest. We should welcome the ad-
vancing years as did Flemming in
'Longfellow's Hyperion" when he
says: for my part, 1 am happier as
grow older. When I compare my
sensations and enjoyments now with
what they were ten years ago, the
comparison is vastly in favor of the

possessed. Take heed unto myself
may be added to the old man with
scarcely less force of application than
to the young man. There should be
regularity and moderation Ia an old
mans life. There should be no sud
den or extreme changes of occupation
of life. In fact discipline is very i'm
portant. Spasmodic industry prevents
that development of self regulating
automatic generation of energy which
saved the brain so much. He should
know the Importance of proper exer-
else, of sleep. rest, and recreation
He should live simple, being temper
ate in eating and drinking. He should
be careful as to that the quality and
quantity of food taken. Eat moder-
ately not too heartily, AS we grow
cid we need to know that we will
remain young If we can keep the
heart young. this can be done by
mingling with young people. Nothing
will contribute more towards pro-
tracing the period of old age and
rendering 1t healthy than the pos
session of a continued, cheerful and

hopeful state of mind. Cultivate the
habit of looking for the best side OF
everything and keep your attention
fixed on It. The man who has Sought
the good all of his life has stored
up enough virtue to help him out
of a hole and does not have to stop
and bewail his failure.
AS you grow old, cultivate SYM
pathy for the world at large, for its
weakness, for the young and the re-
turn in health and happiness will come
to you in hundred fold Always
remember that optimism is the foun-
dation and crown of success, that
nothing Is more desirable than to
keep the brain active Keep in the
game and live in this living age,
drawing fresh mental vigor from
your daily intercourses with the old
and young.
Old age is the harvest of life of
which youth and early manhood are
the spring and seed time, the fruit
age of other years, the store house
in which is gathered the product
and result Of our past years of labor,
experience and trails.
1t Is possible for man or woman
with winter on his or her head (gray

or prejudice, to have breath sweet

Misfitted glasses, whether they are
IAN abomination in the sight of the
Lord or not. they are in anybody
else's sight Among the most apparent
of these misfits are frames in which
the lenses are too widely separated
or not separated widely enough. Then
there are those in which one lens is
higher than the other, instead of be-
ing on level with each other. Again,
there is the bridge that does not sit
flatly on the nose, so that one sharp
edge or the other makes a crease
across 1t and the skin to puff up
under 1t, as though the nose had been
injured in an accident.
But the most serious of misfits are
those that do not appear on the sur
face misfitting lenses. If they are
too large or too small for the feature
that is a defect that can be seen. But,
If the lenses are not adapted in value
to the wearers eyes that is a misfit
that cannot be seen. Even the wearer
may be entirely unconscious of 1t. In
fact, nobody can tell without making
an examination of the eyes and then
comparing results with the lenses.

ON THE CARE OF YOUR EYES.
"MiSfitted Glasses"

There is no reason in the world why
glasses should have either of these
defects. Their bad appearance is,
however, the least of their disadvan-
tages. The best fitted pair of lenses,
If not mounted correctly before the
eyes, may be made. by such misfitting,
to give the wearer a headache in
very short time. Although the lenses
themselves are correct, the mounting
not only gives them an ungainly APP
pearance. but the incorrect position
acts as a strain upon the eye mus
cles, which try to neutralize the de-
fects of position. Such position may
even render the lenses ineffective for
visual purposes, so that the wearer
cannot see well through them.
There are literally thousands of diff
ferent kinds of eyeglass mountains,
and each of them is adjustable to the
hundreds of different structural for
nations of the face and eyes, so that
by proper selection and adjustments
the mountings may be made to hold
the lenses in correct position before
the eyes, be entirely comfortable for
wearing, and also appear well. Do
you think that this is a service one
can perform for himself. or that any
one not trained to that work can
do IT? 1t is impossible.

EVERY AGENCY SHOULD URGE
CHILDREN TO ATTEND SCHOOL

The Junior Chamber Of Commerce
is now entering the third week OF
its "go to school" movement and
SO wide has been the interest mani
. tested in II that all agencies. clubs,
churches and Sunday Schools have
heartily enlisted as aids to II and
are giving II their support.
The aim OF the movement Is to
stimulate an interest in school at
tendance greater than ever before
and by so doing raise the percen-
tage Of literacy among those, who
in few years. are to take over the
duties Of carrying on the work of
the world.
We, more than others need to
stimulate a greater interest maong
our children in attending school.
II is TO their advantage that they
learn. Ignorance now is crime
not only OF the individual against
himself, but against the group Of
which he Is member.
1t seems to us that, realizing
this fact, every organization and
individual OF any consequence
among us would realize the good
possible to BE done by II or him
In fostering such a movement among
our children and their parents and
seeing to II that our school atten-
dance not lag.
Non-attendance OF school by our
children now lays the foundation
for their lack of success later.
Men and women who are ignorant
must OF necessity follow the die
tates and d. the bidding OF those
better trained.
Ignorant individuals make up ig-
norant races. We now have too many
Of them and our movement should
be away from an Increase in their
number.
Some OF our pastors already are
calling their member TO aid in in
creasing the attendance OF Negro
children in school.
All Of them may well do likewise
for energy so directed Is not wasted.
Becoming an educated people is
a duty which affects all Of us, Let
US lend ourselves heartily to II.
