Keeping Record Of Home Expenses


up in convenient place an ordinary
blank book with a pencil attached to
it. Then each one who pays for goods
or services can note the kind and
cost of what has been bought. Per-
sonal expenses, if covered by lump
sum or allowance, are not entered
among the household items. The
homemaker probably carries in her
purse a small notebook for writing
down petty cash spent. Some items
are doubtless paid by check, either
monthly or at the time of purchase.
All these miscellaneous entries must
be collected and classified in one per-
manent record book to obtain a true
picture of how the family money is
being used.
A very good classified record of
family expenditures has been designed
by the bureau of home economics of
the United States Department of Agri-
culture. 1t is made in loose-leaf form,
so that unnecessary pages can be re-
moved. The following groups of ex-
penditure are shown in the marginal
index: Food, housing, operating, fur
nishings and equipment, clothing,
health, development, personal, automo-
bile and savings. Purchases are trans
ferred at regular intervals from the
miscellaneous entries in the, daily note
books to the proper heading, so that at
a glance one may see what is spent
for food, clothes, and so on. Anyone
could make such record out Of a
blank book. or, by sending fifty cents
to the government printing Office at
Washington, D. c., obtain the special
loose-leaf printed FORMS Among them
are a number Of other pages for in
formation about family finances, such
as accounts payable and receivable. a
household inventory, records of in
surance policies and investments, and
for the rural family, the value Of
products furnished by the farm for
home use or sold by the homemaker.

Eat bulkier foods, such as vege-
tables, fruits and coarse breads.
Use a mild laxative as needed"

thousands for constipation and its
ills. The prescription he used over
and over in his practice has be-
come the worlds most popular
laxativel "Syrup Pepsin," as it is
now called, was tested by more
than AZ years of practice.

same; made exactly according to
the original prescription, from lax
alive herbs, pure pepsin and other

grippe, sicken or cause any discom-
fort. But it moves the bowels;
it gets rid of all the souring waste
which clogs the system; makes you
bilious, headachy, gassy, bloated,
weak, half-sick. A doctor should
know what is best for the bowels.

We may develop character in our re-
straint in regard to foods as we do
in our eompanionship of friends.
AS a rule our cooks prepare too
complicated foods, which we are told
are not good for our ailmentary tract,
overworking our organs of digestion.
We are advised to go at least one
day a week with no food at all, but
plenty of water or fruit juice This
gives the stomach rest and food will
be much more enjoyed after such a
fast day. Another good suggestion
which seems reasonable is to go one
week without any kind of meat, eat

Story for Children When the Sandman Comes

The fairies had a party today-a
dinner party. 1t was turkey dinner,
but 1t was a different kind of turkey
dinner from any you could imagine.
All the fairies are feeling quite
weary now from their wonderful day
but they will soon be fast asleep.
However, that is not telling you
about the party.
In the first place they had guest
of honor. don't believe you could
ever, in hundred years-or at least
fifty-guess the name of the guest
of honor.
Well, 1t was none other than Mr..
Turkey Gobbler himself He came
with his chest way out, strutting
proudly along, followed by some of his
family.
They called a turkey dinner party
one which had Mr.. Turkey Gobbler
for the guest of honor, so you see it
wasn't the usual kind of turkey
dinner, for Mr.. Turkey walked to the
party instead Of being carried in on
platter!
well" he gobbled-gobbled, as he
walked to the pine-wooded grove
where the fairies were going to have
their dinner party, "these silly people
think they have paid me an insult
when they have said was proud and
vain and-tough-not good to eat!
''Ha, ha, gobble-gobble, as If l cared
about being tough. In fact l like it.

prepared by the United states Department
Of Agricultural -wSU Service.
Furniture upholstered in wool or mo-
hair is attractive, and many people
buy It for their homes. Unless proper
precautions are taken. however, in
Jury by moths is apt to occur. The
bureau of entomology of the United
States Department OF Agriculture be-
leves that there is no reason why
wooden covers cannot be maintained
in good condition indefinitely if GER
tain control measures are used.
The adult insect, or clothes moth,
which may be seen flying about it
practically any season of the year in
heated houses, does not eat the fab
RIGS. 1t is seeking good place to lay
its eggs, so that when the larva or
worm matches it will have its favorite
food right at hand. The larvae eat
the fabric on the surface of the furni-
ture and also get under the cover and
eat the wool threads that go through
to the back.
Many manufacturers now treat fab
RIGS to be used for furniture covers
to make them resistant to moth at
tack. Another preeaution taken by the
manufacturer is to place layer of
cotton batting between the padding
and the cover Of the piece of furni-
ture. 1t is essential that this layer of
cotton batting should be continuous,
without breaks through which the
moths can work their way to the I'M
der side of the fabric. Fumigation at
the warehouse or by the furniture
dealer is also used to assure freedom
from infestation in the piece when it
is delivered to the purchaser.
In buying upholstered furniture, the
choice Of leather, silk, cotton, linen, or
rayon covers eliminates the moth prob
lem from the start. Feather cushions
are not immune to moth damage, but
are rarely disturbed. II mohair or
wool covers are selected, it is well to
inquire whether they have been treat

cloth and napkins. 1t is such a saw
ing on both the linen and the nerves,
for if an accident occurs fresh crepe
cloth may be quickly placed with no
damage to either the feelings Of the
hostess or guest.
One may buy just the note of color
in napkins and tablecloths that may
be carried out in the refreshments,
table decorations Of flowers and glass
or china.
The new china of bone, unbreakable
though quite expensive, may prove in
the long run most economical. The in
triguing colors on the creamy plates
are most exquisite. Many hostesses
use the large dinner plates for the
cover plates, matching with cup and

tails, properly used, are safe and fair
ly effective for home treatment if the
piece Of furniture to be fumigated can
be tightly wrapped in blankets for a
day or two. Directions for the use of
this substance are given in Farmers
Bulletin 1655-F on the control of moths
in upholstered furniture. It may be
obtained free from the United States
Department of Agriculture. The bull
letin also mentions a number of moth
prooting solutions which can be APP
piled without injury to furniture COW

flashed Brown Potatoes
a Welcome Dish

Have you ever wondered how tho
restaurant chef made those delicious
hashed-brown potatoes, folded over
like an omelet, with a crisp brown
crust on the outside? Hashed-brOwn
potatoes are easy to make and are a
good way to warm over boiled pota-
toes. Cut, or chop the cooked pota-
toes into pieces the size of the tip Of
the finger. or dice the potatoes first
into pieces of this size and cook quick
ly, taking them from the fire before
they become soft or mushy. The onion
flavor is, of course, special attrac-
ton for those who like onion. Many
people, particularly In New England
would derive the two tablespoonfuls of
fat from dried salt pork. The follow
ing directions are from the bureau of
home economics of the United States
Department of Agriculture.
4 cups finely q tsp. salt
chopped cooked "a tsp. pepper
potatoes tbs. fat
2 tbs. chopped on Y cup hot water
ion Parsley
Combine the potatoes and onions,
salt, and pepper. Melt the fat in
smooth heavy skillet, add the water,
put the potatoes in thin even layer,
and cook slowly until a gold brown
crust is formed. Fold the potatoes
over like an omelet, turn out on a hot
platter, garnish with parsley, and
serve at once.

ing vegetables and fruits in abundance
and plenty Of bulky foods like brown
bread, cereals and fiberous vegetables.
The simple diet is the best, using
freely all kinds Of vegetables in sea-
son and but one or two at a meal
when meats are served.
The common foods served daily
often become monotonous, IL they are
served day after day in the same way.
Lay away all unused clothing, jew
elry, pictures, ornaments in boxes to
give to those less fortunate. Things
that we are tired of are often highly
treasured by another.

Hair. Growth After Death

Certain claims have been made that
in rare cases hair has been proved to
have grown after death. The United
States public health service has stated
there are no authentic records of such
cases. The widespread belief in this
growth is held to be caused by the
shrinking of the skin toward the roots
Of the hairs, giving an appearance of
hair growth. The same may be said
with regard to growth of nails.
