Household Accounts.
In our last talk, which concerned
itself with the household budget, the
statement was made that the only
sure guide to a sensible burget was
an analysis of one's own household
expenditures. An analysis of such
expenditures presupposes that those
expenditures are kept in fairly accu
rate shape.
Though the budget idea in the
household is comparatively new, the
keeping of household accounts is old,
very old indeed. In Greek and Ro
man chronicles of household manage
ment the finance side is discussed; in
the Middle Ages the "household
books" of the women of England in
clude records of expenditure. In the
late Middle Ages, and nearer to our
time, we find writers deploring the
lapse of household accounting. Today
the keeping of household accounts is
rather rare, if I may judge from what
I have read and observed.
Essent'als of Household Accounting.
There are many systems of account
ing to be used. Whatever the choice
may be, success results only from
faithful daily records and frequent
balancing. A very general system,
faithful! r kept is worth a dozen accu
rate detailed systems that are used
only spasmodically.i It is so simple
to write down each day the money
spent during the last 24 hours. It is
only when that record is neglected
that household accounts loom up as
an awful bugbear before the busy,
tired housewife.
The Envelope System.
A verv simple method of combining
household accounts and a budget is
by the envelope system. Definite
sun.s are set aside for food, clothing,
etc., and these sums put into large
envelopes. Whenever any money is
taken out of an envelope a statement
is put in. Like some other ultra
simple devices, this one is clumsy
and impossible for people who pay by
checks. It is very valuable, however,
as a means of keeping track of the
ready cash without which no house
hold can be run.
Card Catalogue System.
A highly recommended plan' is to
keep accounts on small .filing cards.
There should be three cash cards
one cash received, one cash dis
bursed anl one cash balance. Then
there should be a card for each line
of expenditures such as groceries,
fuel, rent, etc. Whenever any money
is spent the sum is entered on the
cash disbursed card and also on its
own particular card, such as gro
ceries, etc. The particular value of
the card system is that a card may
be changed or replaced with very
little confusion to the system.
Book System.
As the name "bookkeeping" im
plies, accounts were originally kept in
books, and the book system is still
about as satisfactory as any devised.
The best plan is to use the left hand
page for cash received, cash disbursed
and daily accounts, such as food,
clothing, etc. A person may buy any
kind of a blank book and ru'e it to
suit himself or for SO cents such a
household account book, cloth-bound,
may be obtained from the American
Home Eo.nomi:s association, Chi
cago. It is really easier to have the
two pages spread out before one, than
to have loose cards as suggested in
When Milady Goes Shopping
Out Untth Birds Are
Taking Prices With
Them Every Day
By ADELAIDE KENNERLY.
Wonderful, wonderful, lingeries!
Beautiful, beautiful linens!
Before Christmas they were way
up in the touch-me-not das-.- in prices,
but now they are down to within our
reach.
Iti several of our Omaha stores,
mountains of dainty and beautiful
lingeries are being offered for one
half the before-Christmas-price. There
is no time during the year when a dol
lar will buy so much in women s un
dergarments as right now.
Among these lots you will find
domestic, Filipino and l.and-made
articles, unusual in design and quality.
They are well made and the trim
mings are not only pretty but sub
stantial. It's True.
In the linen section there are
towels, sheets and table linens greatly
reduced in price. These offerings are
not cheap and shoddy but excellent 111
quality and design. Towels may be
purchased at half price; sheets and
pillow cases are going by the hun
dreds at from one-fourth to one-half
off; bed spreads and bolster covers
are included m tnese lots.
Each year sees a dwindling of lin
geries and linens and chests must be
replenished, but this year prices are
going up every week and what Milady
bought last month for $3 may be
$4 or $5 next month.
Our Battle Birds.
When we stop to consider the num
ber of airplanes being manufactured
and that it takes thousands of yards
of fine linen every hour of the day for
their wings, we feel a wee bit consoled,
for we must have battle birds and
battle birds must have wings, whether
we have table linen and linen hand
kerchiefs or not. Therefore, the
woman who finds it .necessary to
make her dollars do their utmost will
take advantage of these after-Christmas
sales and fortify herself against
rapidly rising prices.
It All Comes Out in the Wash.
Buying white goods iit January isn't
like buying a red wig for a dark
haired woman, but exactly opposite.
It has been demonstrated by hun
dreds of business-like housekeepers
that the upkeep of the home isn't
merely buying everything needed, but
buying while prices are down and by
getting the most for their money.
If some of these lingeries and linen9
are soiled, so much the better. It re
duces the price just that much more
and it all comes out in the wash.
the preceding system. With check
stubs, a book and an envelope or box
for ready cash, household accounts
should not be a distasteful task.
True Value of Accounts.
As stated above, it is not absolutely
essential to account for every penny,
though it is in our handling of "petty
cash that many of us lose track of our
money. But everyone should have
at the end of the year some knowledge
of how his money has been spent, not
only for the interest in that knowl
edge, but chiefly that he may profit
by former mistakes and obtain more
abundance of life year by year.

County Chairmen Now
Urging Recruiting of
the Trained Nurses
A letter to the county chairmen
urging the necessity of recruiting the
ranks of the trained nurses of Ne
braska is being sent from the Lin
coln headquarters of the woman's
committee over the signatures of Miss
sarka mbkova, state chairman, and
Miss Mary Cogil, chairman of the
nursing committee for Nebraska.
The national eovernment is in sore
need of Red Cross nurses, who are
being sent daily to France or to the
various army cantonments. Nebraska
under normal conditions has but one
nurse to every 12,000 inhabitants and
since the departure of many for the
army camps this small "army of pro
tection" of 1,400- registered nurses
has been very much depleted.
It is urged on women who are
graduates of high schools to enroll
for a three-year course of training
for the nursing profession, as there
will be great need of trained nurses
for the next deca!e in Nebraska even
if the war should end tomorrow.
There are 20 accredited training
hospitals in Nebraska in which young
women wishing to7 render the greatest
and most genuine patriotic service to
their country may prepare themselves.
Particulars may be obtained by writ
ing directly to the nurses' depart
ment of the woman's committee of
the State Council of Defense at Lin
coln. Even as few hehs as six or eight
should produce eggs enough, where
used economically, for a family of
four or five persons throughout the
entire year, except during the molt
ing period of the fall and early winter.
