Heme Manager of Richest Policeman
Tells Young People How to
Succeed.

socks.” is the advice of Mrs. Anton
Klinger to wives who want wealth to
come to their husbands. Mrs K ing

tre‘.surer of the Klinger family by
baking bread and darning socks and
practicing other housewifery arts and
economies she has helped her husband
become the richest policeman in Chi
csgo. with an income of $600 a month

Sirs Klinger says it is all due to the
study and practice of household econ
omy. which Includes everything from
building a kitchen fire to managing a
husband.
Not the least Important detail oi
managing a husband. Mrs. Klinger
says, is keeping him home evenings
' The way to keep a man home.” she
says. *'is to keep him busy, if you
na't he will get tired of his home and
get in the habit of passing his eve
nings down town. 1 used to manage
o have odd jobs for Mr. Klinger about
•he house, and when he wasn't working
he was reading.
“Here is my advice to young people.
Get married just as early as the man
is earning enough mone to take care of
of a wife, and buy a homo with the
first savings. There is nothing that
will r.ii.iie two persons try to save like
'-he the ght that it is going to pay for
a home of their own. It will make
both work together and they will be
happier tor it. There is no surer way
to save money than to spend it tor a
homo of your own.”
