Business Methods in Keeping House r -'' 'f-imi'k BY MllS. 11. FKUTCHEY. IF n merhennt would conduct his busi ness in tho slipshod manner In which most housowlves earry on their work, ho would "go to the wall" In a short time. Put competition Is so sharp, he must needs study his business from nil points, to mnko every odgo cut. He must wntch his stock, so as to replenish In time; ho must koep overythlng up to date; ho must keep his storo attractive, and cater to tho tastes of his patrons or he will lose cus tom. Uo must keep his stock moving, watch ing to cllmlunto wnstc, keep his books carefully ao that each penny is accounted for. Tho business of housekeeping and It Is n business, nnd n most Important one la rarely conducted on auch lines. In tho first plnco, few housekeepers over keep accouutB. This, when a fam ily Is living on a salary, Is very necessary, as one should know Just how one's In como Is spent. A certain sum should bo sot npnrt for rent, or If ono does not rent, for tho upkeep of tho houso, taxes, etc., for fuel, lights, etc., tor food, clothing and Incidentals. Oftentimes wo find wo are spending monoy for usolesa things nnd lu this way a saving may bo effected. Tho wlso mer chant buys his good3 at the proper sea son; tho housekeeper often buys vege tables and fruits when their prices nro highest, consequently her family Is tired of them when thoy nro cheap. It Is not nlwnys the most expensive foods that aro tho most nutritious. For InBtnnco, it Is n conceded fact that tho cheaper cuts of meats contain more food valuo than thoso hlgltor In price. Tho wlso hoii8ewlfo saves her strongth nnd time, as well as her money. She docs her Spring sowing, oxcopt perhaps the best dress, whllo tho February nnd Mnrch winds are blowing, thus getting It nut of tho wny beforo mora Htronuous tusks, such as gardening and house cleaning di git go her tlmo. Sho docs not hurry when the lntter task requires doing, but prepares for It by gottlng wnshlng, baking and other necessary Jobs done tho first of tho week. Sho selects a sunshiny day, ono upoji which alio Is fooling "up to tho mark" physically, to begin. And If anything occurs to en 11 so tho miscarriage of her plans, Bhe doesn't worry but Ilka tho brldo who set her wedding day for a cortain day It It didn't rain nnd it It did for tho next sunshiny dny, she cheer fully plans for another day, Sho cleans ono room nt a time, ami doean't wear hersolf out doing It. Neither docs sho worry It two or threo weeks elapse . beforo her houso Is "spick nnd span." She bus probably been cleaning out closots, putting dresser drawors to rights, sorting tho contents of tho attic, destroy ing what Is unlit for uso, etc., long before tho actual housecleanlng commences. When tho hot days of July nnd August ronio, sho plans hor meals ho that tho least posslblo amount of labor and heat nro necessary to servo them. Sho bervos fruits ns desserts Instead of rich plos cakes and puddings. ' Sho serves vegetables abunduntly, uses mauy eggs nnd in many ways sho ollni luutes.amcJiJiiboc and. expeuscaud her fnmlly is much hcalthlor for tho change Sho dresses hersolf nnd her children In plain garments and doesn't worry If thoy nro not always ironod. In fact, her flatlrons boo nn easy tlmo of It In tho Summer nnd thoy nro not overworked nt any time, for sho bellovoa It Is moro bual-ness-llko and senslblo to wear clean gar ments that novor know tho prossuroGf nn Iron than to ubo up all hor surpliiB oncrgy, bring on a nervous hendacho perhaps nnd wnsto dollars worth of fuol. It Is not tho best housckcopcr who kcops tho most Immnculato houso or' who spends all hor tlmo nnd onorgy digging, scrubbing nud scouring. Tho best housekeeper Is tljo ono who looks after tho business details of her work, keeps careful account of hor ex penditures, sees that nothing goos to wnsto, and keeps her family comfortably clad nud wholesomely fed nt tho least ex pense of tlmo and monoy. In fact, alio Is a living cxnmplo of tho proverb which says: "Sho lookclh well to the ways of her household." -- - .Motor Car Coat. Coats for tho motor enr are volum inous.
