How to Budget the Family Income
sy LYDIA LIE BARON WALKER.

1t Is the desire of every housewife
to make the family income go as far
as possible. In many families, eSpe-
cially those that have the regard for
the older traditions, the entire man
agemert of household money matters
Is under the control OF the wife. Some
system must therefore be reSorted to
to help in a wise distribution OF the
finances, or. more important, in many
cases, n wise economy.
It should be a matter OF pride
rather than Il burden to the one who
has charge, this control of expendi-
lures. The fact that ii is not easy
should make 1t so.
Situations Differ.
Only salaried persons know exact
" what can be depended upon to
spend. The income Of the profeS-
sional person is usually fluctuating.
This gives rise to difficulties in maxi
ing out q budget. One cannot budget
what does not exist. But there is a
method which can be relied upon to
help. even in such cases
Needs of families vary so that no
definite plan can be given. The suG-
gestions today will be of general.
rather than specific application. For
instance, whatever ones income. and
of calculation can be formed by con-
sulting a former years average of
expenses. Unless prices and demands
have radically changed, the expenses
OF last year can be used as scale
10 regulate those of the current year.
Even if YOU have but a general idea
Of the exact amount of expenditures,
that will be far better than nothing.
Country and City.
A country family and a city one
will find that the amount spent on
clothes differs. City life demands
more expense in this direction than
does country. The latter calls for
simple and attractive frocks. but few
elaborate ones. Also a larger amount
goes to amusements in city life. The
resources for entertainment in the
city are usually those to which money
attaches. This is not necessarily
true in the country.
Aid to Making Budget
The greatest aid in the making of
r. budget is the keeping of an ac-
count This will show you into what
channels your money is flowing,
where you would like to keep it and
where divert it. The account and
budget should be dependent one on
the other. The account holds many
surprises for a person who keeps it,

that S5 bill that seemed to purchase
nothing. The budget might have fore

is a strange thing that money that

gives a sense of security that Is al
most akin to a feeling of wealth.

Make up a good biscuit dough, add

JAPANESE REPORT
SURGICAL TRIUMPH

Doctor Komi, director of the Darien
general hospital at BARREN, Manchu-
ria, has reported the successful result
of two operations In which the entire
stomachs Of two japanese patients
were removed, according to the Kansas
City Star.
The operations, made more than a
year ago, were for cancer, and in both
cases the stomachs were removed and
the outlets connected directly with the
intestines. Both the patients left the
hospital in three weeks. One Is still
alive and the other died recently Of a
cold In the head. His death was not
due to the loss Of his stomach. Doctor
Komi told the result of the unusual
operations to the Japanese national
medical conference at yokyo.

HOW TO SOLVE A CROSSWORD PUZZLE

Dealers in old paper take notice
The Jugoslav government has fifteen
carloads Of waste paper for sale. 1t
is all that is left of billions Of Austro-
Hungarian bank notes, called In and
replaced by dinar notes. Jugoslavia
was constructed out of Serbia and sew
eral parts of the old Austro-H ungar-
ian empire. Along with the increase
In territory Jugoslavia inherited an
inflated currency. First the bank notes
circulated on a basis reduced from
the inflated value, and later were
stamped. Afterward the stamped notes
were exchanged on a basis Of four
crowns for one dinar. Now dinars cir
culate throughout Jugoslavia, and
Austrian crowns are not legal tender.
Exports are greater than imports, and
the dinar shows tendency to appre-
ciate. The Jugoslavs like their dinars
and do not mourn the crown. The ma
tional bank officials found that the old
crown bank notes were taking too
much space, consequently they are to
be disposed of as old paper-fifteen

BECKY

II HE saucily piquant name of Becky
L is too generally in use to pass over
as mere contraction Of Rebecca.
Becky is given in baptism quite as

1t comes, however, from the old He
brew word Rabak which means ito
bind
The Bible tells us that Isaac's wife,
who is supposed to represent the ideal
of noble wifehood, was named from
this word with the idea Of signifying
the firmness of the marriage bond, but
Rebecca was by no means confined to
biblical history. She has named the
heroines of literature down through

HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE

| THERE are fads and fashions in
L disease, as there are in skirts. To-
day, blood pressure is "all the rage"
To hear it discussed, you would think
it was newly discovered disease.
1t isn't new and it isn't disease.
1t is as old as life. In fact, when
there is no blood pressure there is no
life. 1t isn't a disease. A certain
amount of blood pressure is necessary
for life.
To talk about having mo blood
pressure" is to adopt the professional
slang of the ward nurse, who says that
the patient has mo temperature" She
doesn't mean that. If any one of us
had mo temperature" we'd be too
dead to get into a hospital. She
means the patient has normal tenn
perature
So when a doctor tells you that you
have mo blood pressure" he doesn't
mean that He means that your blood
pressure is normal.
What is normal blood pressure? All,
that's the question. It's only few
years, comparatively, since we had any
instruments for measuring and record
ing blood pressure. Doctors, for ages,
have known that, at some times and In
some persons, the heartbeat was
stronger and more accentuated than at
other times and in other people. Per-
sons with strong full pulse were said
to be "plethoric" and the heartbeat
of what we now call high blood pres
sure was said to be full or bounding
All the doctor had to judge by was his
finger tips but he could make about as
good an estimate as the present-day
laboratory man can with his mercury
manometer.
Blood pressure Is the pressure inside
the arteries. Just as the water pres
sure in a fire hose depends on the
strength of the engine and the size of
the hose, so the blood pressure depends
on the force of the heart and the size
of the arteries. These factors differ
in different individuals. There is no
absolutely normal figure. 1t varies
with age, physical condition, work,
nerve tension and dozen other fac
tors.
IF you have high-strung feeling,
restlessness, nervousness and inability
to sleep, frequent headaches and nose
bleeds, perhaps dizziness and flushing

living and correct it. You don't want

neglect Of the nose, ears and eyes and
mouth.
Other causes are constipation, indi-
gestion, prolonged exposure to the
suns rays or to the heat of a badly
ventilated room.
Then an eruption appears on the en-
tire body, on the face and scalp, or ON
the scalp alone.
AT first this eruption Is composed of
red dots or points; in few days they
contain fluid; and a little later the
fluid becomes purulent, the points of
the eruption run together, and we soon
have number Of crusts or scabs, or
perhaps a sheet of scabs covering the
entire scalp.
The itching is continuous night and
day, and there Is constant scratching
or rubbing the scalp.
Infectious material is carried by the

parts of the body are sore as result
of this transmission.
In treating such case, select, If
possible, doctor who is familiar with
the diseases Of infants and children.
These few suggestions may also
prove serviceable: Cut the baby's
nails to prevent scratching; cut the
hair; wash out the reetum daily; and
protect the head and face with thin
muslin cap or bonnet.
Apply neither hot or cold water to
the scalp, and keep the eruption COW

The Victoria falls are on the mid

few miles below the Kwando confiu-
ence. The river here, nearly mile
wide, suddenly plunges to a depth of
400 feet and within 200 feet of the
falls the river suddenly narrows to
a width Of 100 to 400 feet. A dense
cloud Of vapor rises far above the
falls and as 1t condenses it darkens
to the appearance Of smoke. Because
Of this fact the natives call the falls

palace of her father, King Neptune,
without telling anyone about it.
Mermaids never grow tired swim
ming but they sometimes are afraid
and that was what happened one day
to Princess Pearl when she was swim
ming about alone
Suddenly she came. upon something
on the ocean floor very big and black
and still. 1t was not beautiful as was
everything else In her fathers king
dom.
That night she asked her father
what it could be that she had seen
and he replied that once it had been
a mighty thing called a ship and be-
longed to Man.
He lives above u.s." said King Nep-
tune, "and If he had stayed on the
land as he should have done and left
TO me the waters he would not have
come to grief. Never speak Of 1t
again, my child, for Mans ways are
not the same as ours"
But instead of being satisfied with
this reply Princess Pearl was now all
the more curious. She wanted to
know what this Man her father had
told her Of was like and she resolved
to swim to the surface of the sea and
find out for herself
Finding nice sunny rock by the
s'ae Of the ocean, Princess Pearl sat
down upon it and began to comb her
long, bright hair, singing a. she
worked.
''Oh, beautiful maiden" said a voice
close beside her, never have I beheld
such beauty as yours. Be my wife
and live with me in my palace and
you shall never want for anything that
will make you happy"
Princess, Pearl dropped her comb,
but not her coral mirror that she still
held In her hand, while she stared at
the stranger who had come upon her
so suddenly.
He was very handsome, much hand
somer than her father, King Neptune.
