The Emerson House
Concord, Mass.
Wisdom from a Sage's Wife
RALPH WALDO EMERSON, the philosopher
and essayist, was called the Sage of Concord.
Although the wealth of his mind was immeasur­able,
he was never one of the world's rich men.
It is said that in her housekeeping Mrs. Emerson
practiced three simple rules.
1. Eat It Up
2. Wear It Out
3. Make It Do
_The result was a home practically free from financial
struggles with both money apd leisure to enjoy the things
they valued most-books, music, a garden, a bit of
travel, and above all the companionship of friends.
If you find it hard to make both ends meet, why not
adopt Mrs. Emerson's system? Your husband may not be
a philosopher, but certainly. he ~ill be wise enough to
appreciate the dollars you are able to save.
"A year ago I didn't care what became of me. I was so
nervous and blue and suffered so from backaches. A friend
of mine recommended Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com­pound.
I have taken seven bottles now and I feel better than
I ever did."-Mrs. W. C. Mead, 135 Main St., West Orange,
New jersey.
"For three or four months I suffered with
a pain and soreness in my right side. I
couldn't find anything that would do me
any good. One day I saw your advertise­ment
in Comfort Magazine and I sent for
a sample of the Vegetable Compound tab­lets.
It has done wonders for me. The pain
and soreness is all gone. If any woman
suffers, let her try the Vegetable Com­pound.-
Mrs. W C. Boles, R. F. D. No. 1,
Walnut Cove, North Carolina.
DON'T GIVE UP HOPE
"I am over fifty years old. I have been
married thirty-four years. I was nervous
and rundown so I tried Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound because I had seen
it advertised in newspapers and booklets.
After· taking three bottles I was ready to
give up but I decided to keep on. After
the fourth bottle I felt much better. I
have now gained twelve pounds and I feel
well and strong. Seven bottles made a new
woman of me."-Mrs.John Theobald, 2343
Victor St., Cinciunati, Ohio.

"Eat
It
Up"
DAMPEN stale rolls or muffins and heat them thi,ough
in the oven. You can hardly tell them from f~eshly
baked.
P otato chips, crackers and flake cereals often get limp and
rubbery in damp weather. A few minutes in the -o~-~n will
restore their original cr ispness.
If your children refuse to drink milk, buy a package of
straws and serve "sodas" in tall glasses. For variety; add a
few drops of vanilla. Cold cocoa makes a chocolate soda.
Use up left over berries or fruit as a garnish ·on your
breakfast cereal.
Stale cake makes a good cottage pudding. Cut away all
frosting from the cake. Arrange in slices on individual plates
and pour hot lemon sauce over it. Top with a bit ofjelly.
Cracked eggs need not be thrown away. Use them in cake
or custards at once.

!'After having two operations I was in a badly rundown
condition. I had hot and cold flashes, pains in my back and
sides and felt very nervous. I took Lydia E. Pinkham's Vege­table
Compound and I feel better than I have for some time.
My nerves are much steadier and I have gained both weight
and stt·ength ."-.Mrs. Elizabetb Engen, 330Yz Summit Ave.,
Pasadena, Calif.
"Three bottles of Lydia E. Pinkham's
Tablets have helped me wonderfully. I
used to be all tired out and so nervous
that I would lie awake almost all night.
But .now I sleep well, have a good appe­tite
and feel much better. They have
helped a pain in my side too. It doesn't
trouble me now."-.Mrs. C. A. W~wra,
9919 So. Pt·inceton St., Chicago, Illinois.
"BETTER THAN I EVER HOPED FOR"
"For the past five yea.rs I have been all .run down, weak
and ne,rvous. My back was a continual ache and I had swim­ming
feelings in my head. I am fifty-one years old. My hus­band
had no confidence in patent medicines but after I doc­tored
and felt no b_etter I was so disheartened that I started
taking it anyhow. Four bottles have helped me· wonderfully
and i am going to take more. I feel better now than I ever
hoped for."-Mrs. Lillah Barrett, P. 0. Bo."\ 52, Clewiston, Fla.

''Wear
It
Out"
BUY two Ot: three pairs of silk stockings at a time, the
same shade. When they begin to wear out, discard the
worst ones and pair up the best ones.
Try this .with children's stockings.
When your sheet wears thin in the middle, split it and sew
the outer edges together. Of course, this brings a flat seam
in the middle but it makes the sheet last a few months longer.
Pillow slips for everyday use may be made from old sheets
and face cloths from old Turkish towels.
Do not n·eglect the possibilities of dyes. They are reason­able
in price, simple to use and come in a bewildering vari­ety
of colors. Many a faded, half-worn garment can be re­stored
to usefulness by a change of color.

"Make
It
Do"
OLD furniture may be transformed by a coat or two of
quick drying enamel. You may choose orchid, lotus green,
buff and blue, orange and black or many other attractive
colors. If you have an old iron bed, a few odd chairs and an
old-fashioned bureau, combine them into a harmonious and
colorful set to beautify one of the bedrooms.
Dye your old ruffled curtains yellow or peach or nile green
to brighten up your rooms. Heavy draperies and faded couch
covers may be dyed in your washing machine.
- If paint brushes are stiff put them in an old can with
enough vinegar to cover the bristles and. boil for 15 minutes•
They will come out soft and pliable.
lodine will co,ver scratches on mahogany furniture•
A rug cushion which costs only a few dollars will lengthen
the life of your living room rug and make it feel almost as
thick and soft as an Oriental.
A brass bed may be painted to resemble walnut or mahog­any.
Use two coats of ground color first, letting each coat
dry over night. If you "push" the walnut stain on, one spot
at a time, with a wide brush instead of stroking it on, it will
blend into the ground color and look like the grain of the
wood when dry.

"I had taken so many different medicines th~ I began t~

"Ever since I was fifteen I have been bothered with female
troubles. I could get relief only by lying down. When I was

taking only two bottles."-Mn M. P. H1mter, R. R. No. 1,

"Balancing
the
Budget"
SOMEONE has defined the budget as a ~ ·Desperate
attempt to make both ends meet and lap over." For it isn't
enough to pay our bills, important as that is. We want to
save something. To feel that we are getting ahead. A budget
is the sensible way to do it.
Now there aie all kinds of budgets and each famjly has to
work out its own salvation according to its own conditions.
You can obtain free advice and a budget book from many
banks and insurance companies. Any family will do well to
sit down some evening and work out its own budget. If you
have a steady income, you are lucky.
1. First set aside tO% for savings: Put this money in the
bank for emergencies. Life insurance may be paid for out of
this 10%, because life insurance is a form of saving.
2. Write down what you expect to spend each week for
fixed expenses like rent, heat, food, laundry, church, news·
papers, carfares to work, etc.
14
1\
BALANCING THE BUDGET-Continued
3. Write down any monthly bills you pay like gas, elec­tricity,
telephone, payments on mortgage, car or other
indebtedness. Divide by four.
4. If you pay any yearly bills like taxes, insurance on fur­niture,
etc., divide this amount by 52.
5. The total of 2, 3, and 4 above should be less than 90%
of your total income. The difference allows for the purchase
of clothing for the family, doctor and dentist bills, new fur­niture
or replacements around the house, entertainment,
gifts and the hundred and one little things that come up.
If the total of your estimated expenses is already more
than your iqcome, go back over your figures and cut down
until you reach the desired amount. Remember that success
depends upon spending less than you earn. Save something.
Even 2 5¢ a week is worth saving. It's the habit of saving that
we all need to learn.
Some women find it easier to divide their money into little
boxes or envelopes, marking each one "Food", "Rent",
"Clothes", etc. Others rule a notebook into columns, enter
the amounts they spend and add up at the end of the month.
Don't expect any budget to work out e._erfectly. Every
family has unexpected bills, illness and even irregular income.
Don't try to account for every penny. Keep
the big i'mportant things straight and leave
a flexible surplus for incidentals. ·
Don't forget to plan ahead for monthly
or yearly bills so that the money will be
ready when due.

Making the Most of Your

Why is it that Mrs. Robertson ~
spends comparatively little on her
clothes yet always looks well
dressed, while Mrs. Jones next door
spends twice as m\].ch and never
looks right? Simply because Mrs;
Robertson has learned how to
make the most of every cent she
spends for clothes.
Colors are important. In planning your new season's
wardrobe choose one color and stick to it. If·you select a
blue coat, buy dresses in various shades of blue or blue and
tan which will harmonize.
Bright colors and pure white make a woman look stouter.
So do large figures and horizontal stripes. Vertical stripes
help to make her look taller. V necks and long beads make
her look.thinner. Heavy choker beads usually make a stout
woman look choked.
The well groomed woman keeps her white collars and
cuffs immaculate, the seams in her stockings· straight, her
shoes polished and her run-over heels repaired. .
Buy washable gloves in light shades and keep them clean.
Wash them on the hands and pull the fingers gently when you
take them off. The stores are selling a little stretcher that
holds the gloves in shape until they dry.
If you want clothes to last, buy the best qu.ality you can
afford. Better have one dress of pure silk
which can be cleansed or tubbed than
spend the same money for two or three
rayon prints which look well at first but
soon get wrinkled and spotted, and lose
their lustre.
Keep away from freak styles and odd
colors that soon go out of fashion.

Seven Ways to Earn
Money at Home
How many times we hear a woman say, !'Oh, if I could
only earn a little money". But she lives in the country, she
has small children, or she is tied down by her home duties;
What can she do ? ·
1. Cook. Specialize in whatever you make best. Cake, pies,
doughnuts, rolls, potato chips, candy.
Figure out carefully what it costs and
charge a fair amount for your time.
Ask the neighbors to buy, ask your
grocer if he will sell hotpe cooked
food .on consignment which means
that you pay him 20% of the selling
price and take back unsold . goods. If
you live in the city, consult the mana·
ger of the Women's Exthange.
2. Get Magazine Stibscriptiom. Most magazines pay in cash
for subscriptions you send them, a few smaller ones may
expect you to take merchandise as
your "prize". Keep a r.ecord of your
subscribers .and get the renewals.
3. Take Care of Child1·ett. Set aside two
or three afternoons a week when moth·
ers can leave their children with you
for 2 5 or 50 cents. You will need a room
or yard for them to play in, and a few
simple toys. Some children will bring
28
Seven Ways to Earn Money at Home-Contin11ed
their own toys. If you serve milk and
cookies or some such refreshments,
charge enough to cover this expense.
You will need to watch the children
and be ready with a story or a new
game when interest lags.
4. Sew. Hand embroidery may be
sold through the Woman's Exchange,
but it is not very profitable because it
takes so long to do it. Plain sewing and mending for busy
people (especially bachelors) and remodeling ready-made
dresses is more profitable. Some women make money by
darning socks, mending tablecloths, etc. Some hook rugs
in their spare time.
5. Have a garden. It will not only supply your own table
at low cost but you can sell flowers,
fresh vegetables or berries to the
neighbors or to a nearby store.
6. Have a roadside stand. If you live
on a well traveled highway, you can
attract part of the tourist tt·ade. Try
to make your stand distinctive-just a
little different from the rest. Offet· cut
flowers, berries, fruit, vegetables, home
made jellies and preserves, -doughnuts-whatever other
women might want -to buy. Even aprons and fancy work are
appropriate. Set vour prices a little lower than the stores do.
7. Do fine larmdry. If there are summer residents or busy'
busines-s women in your town they will pay well for launder­ing
silk underwear, wash dt·esses, children's clothes and
their dainty embroideries and linens.

.. Every month I was in bed. Mte.r
everything else failed to give me any
.relief, my mother suggested Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. Now
I am a healthy woman. Don't know what
a pain is. My appetite is fine and that
tired feeling is- gone. I am a. domestic
and able to work every day now. I would
like every suffering woman and girl to
benefit by this wonderful remedy. This
Vegetable Compound is no dope that gives quick .relief.
It acts slow and sure and before you realize i~, you : are well
and active again. My advice is 'Just give it a fair trial'."­Mrs.
Gertrude L. Bell, 2542 JV. Arizona Street, Philadelphia,
Pennsylvania.
"I DO NOT GET TIRED"
"I have taken Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound
for months and I am well satisfied with results. I ani 57 years
old and keep boarders. I got all tired out. My daughter told
me about the Vegetable Compound and I tried it. Every
Saturday she brings me a bottle. I take it every four hours
and one bottle lasts just a week. Now I feel strong and I do
not get tired so quickly. I sleep marvelously."-Mrs. Martha
Iloheiser, 714 Webster Ave., Chicago, Illinois.
