1 B0X t
6 By ETTA WEBB 6 !
(? by D. J. Walsh.)
HELEN REID stared into the
box, surprise and dismay de
lineated on her charming
young blond countenance.
Yesterday the little compartment la
beled "Incidentals" had contained
money. This morning it was empty.
And the man was waiting for his pay
for the cute bridge lamp she had or
dered sent home from Kent's. Joe
had simply rifled every cent out of
"Incidentals." No, she could not say
rifled, for when they agreed to run
their finances according to the budget
system they had placed no restrictions
on each other. Economy was their
watchword. Helen felt she had prac- ]
ticed economy faithfully. But she
just had to have that bridge lamp.
It was a bargain at $2.59.
Just one thing to do under the cir
cumstances, and with a sigh she did
it. She took $2.59 out of the house
payment till. That was the only till
that still was left untouched. She
could replace the money later. With
a smile that bewitched the errand
man from Kent's Into believing that
this pretty young housekeeper was
untroubled by care, she paid for her
lamp.
Connected up with the floor socket
nearest the library table, the lamp
was warranted to throw just the right
light on the pages of Joe's hook as
he sat hunched up in his favorite chair
rending. Other times it would serve
to illuminate the cunning new bridge
table which had been another of her
recent purchases. Julie and May and
Peggy were coming in for a game that
afternoon and she would for once have
her lighting just right. That was an
other thing; she'd have to get some
candy; you can't play bridge all aft
ernoon without something to chew on.
That meant another 00 cents. Helen
took 00 cents out of the fuel till. In
place of the money used she wrote a
couple of I. O. U.'s. All the tills con
tained I. O. U.'s. And pay day was
not yet. The budget box seemed to
be in a muddle.
Helen put on her hot and coat and
went out to do a bit of marketing.
As the food till was practically empty
and the contents of her purse low, she
took a hill for the meat and vege
tables. She paid for the candy, se
lecting It with a view to what the
girls liked?chocolates for Peg, mints
Tor Julie, Jordan almonds for May.
On the way home she ran in to see
Aunt Alice for a moment.
"Well, how's the budget behaving?"
asked her aunt.
Ilolon colored. "Rather unruly some
times, I'm afraid," she confessed.
"You'll need a firm hand and a
steady head." Aunt Alice, stout, gray
and calm, looked at the girl while her
capable hands continued to keep her
crochet hook flying. "I never tried the
budget system myself. I Just take
whatever your uncle Ed sees fit to
hand out to me when Saturday night
comes. And I make It do. You've had
a fine business education. Helen, nnd
two .icnrs of practical experience In
an office. Figures shouldn't bother
you any. Or Joe, either. While we're
talking of money, I wonder if you
want to give something toward Mr.
and Mrs. Warren's anniversary pres
ent. They're going to celebrate their
golden wedding. The friends are go
ing to put together and get them a
radio set."
"How much shall I give, Aunt
Alice?"
"That's Just as you feel. Most ev
erybody gives a dollar at least. But
less will do."
Helen opened her purse. She had
known the old couple all her life. She
did not want to seem stingy. Her
purse contained Just two one-dollar
bills. She took them both out and
laid them on the table. "One Is from
Joe and one from me," she said,
smiling.
She returned home very thoughtful.
When pay day came and they again
replenished the budget box. she would
put her foot down hard on such cas
ual expenditures as she had been
making. And she'd see that Joe did
likewise.
By the way, what had Joe wanted
extra money for this morning? He
bad already taken out a sum suffi
cient to cover the expense of down
town lunches and a haircut. Her
brows knotted as she pondered this
question.
The little cankering doubt stayed
with Helen all afternoon. She played
bridge badly. And afterward, when
the girls had gone home nnd she was
cooking dinner, she scorched the meat.
Her mind was on that budget box ev
ery minute. Where did the money go?
Joe earned a comfortable salary; they
were keeping up the payments on their
home and Insurance, but still some
thing was wrong. The money appog
tloned to the tills of the box van
ished like dew before the sun. By
the time all those I. O. U.'s were paid
up the pay day check was going to
?brink like everything.
Joe was glum at dinner. The
?cordhed steak did not taste so aw
folly good. But the pie wet dell
dons. Afterward, when he sat dowt
U> his ^omfy chair and took up feU
book, Helen mapped on the new ?
bridge lamp. ^
"How's that, dear?"
"Fine." He looked up at It and her.
"A new lamp, eh? Where did that
come from? A present from some- E
body?" C
"No, I got It at Kent's. A bargain.
Only $2.5!)."
"Just the other day you bought a
bridge table. The luxury till In our
budget box must be empty. By the <1
way, hrlng that budget box here. I
want to see It."
Helen brought the box. She set It (|
down on the arm of Joe's clialr. She
stood looking on while he examined the ^
various tills of the rather clumsily ar
ranged, homemade affair.
"Somebody's been spending a lot of
money, seems to me," he said, study- .
lng the tiny slips of paper which rep- '
resented promissory notes made to the ^
budget box.
Helen flushed. The thing was get
ting on her nerves.
"I'm always careful to put in my e
I. 0. U's. You aren't," she said. .
"Last night there was $3.28 In Inci
dentals. This morning It was gone.
And nothing to show for It."
"I?I needed a little extra." Joe |
looked confused.
"What for?" Helen's demand was '
sharp and swift. Joe's reply matched
It. "Say! What's the matter with
you? Don't you think I can be trust
ed with money I earn?" Blue eyes
challenged gray ones.
Suddenly Helen felt limp. Nothing "
like this had ever happened between cl
them before. It wasn't going to now. f!
She grabbed up the budget box and '
planted herself In Its place on the
arm of Joe's chair.
"Dear! You're mad. I don't blame '
you. That was a nasty question for c
me to put to you. I'm sorry. Will 81
that make It all right?" e
Joe's face cleared. He put his arm ^
around her. s.
"I don't mind telling you what I did
with that money?"
Helen put her hand over his mouth.
"Yon shan't. I don't want to know. 8
We'll hlame the budget box."
"The darn thing Is getting to be a "
nuisance," Joe admitted. '
The cloud had dissolved in the blue
ether. J
Next morning Helen took the budget
box out to the kitchen table and sat e
down to put It In the strictest order.
The postman had brought her a letter f
which contained a small check from
her far-distant brother. Until she saw c
the check she had forgotten that to- ?
day was her twenty-second birthday.
That check would pay up all her
I. O. U.'s to the budget box. She '
wanted It dreadfully for something
else, but the budget box must be s
looked after.
She wns busily figuring when there j
came a knock at the door. Helen
sprang up and opened the door. A
forlorn man stood there. He made J
the usual request: a bite to eat? "Or
a little change, lady?" Helen wns so
sorry for him that she turned away
without hooking the screen door and 1
ran to the ice box. When she came c
back with a hunk of cake the man j
was gone. Likewise the budget box.
She stared at the empty table In
dismay. Her check was there and j
Bob's letter. Pencil and pad where .
she had been figuring. Nothing else.
Her first thought was to run out and '
try to overtake the man. Her next
was one of distinct relief. There J
wasn't much more money in the bud- '
get box than she would have given
him out of compassion anyway. She J
had her check safe. And today wns
pay day.
She had made the remnant of beef
steak into a stew, disguising the
slightly scorched taste with tomato
and onion, when Joe came home to
dinner. He slid in, trying to hide I
something behind him. Her birthday j
present. Flowers? Candy? Helen In ?
the kitchen heard the rustling of pa
per. When she came in bearing the
dish of stew she found her gift upon i
the table waiting for her. A box, not
large but substantial, with lock and
key. A budget box. Just for an in- '
stant she felt queer. Then she set i
down the stew and put her arms about
Joe's neck.
"You adorable boy! Nothing was i
ever more opportune. The old budget
box walked away this morning. With
a man. Such a forlorn old fellow!"
"How much did he get?" Joe
grinned. *
"Ninety-seven cents."
They both laughed.
"We'll run this different, eh?" Joe
said. "It cost $3.25 to begin with.
But I can make that up. Boss told
me there'd be an extra five in my pay
envelope every week after this. How
do you like your birthday present,
darling?"
"I love it." Helen's eyes were misty.
She bent down and touched her fresh
lips to the new budget box.
Front-Yard Planting
The front entrance of the average
home should never be entirely blotted
out by trees and shrubs. All front
yard plantings should be subordinate
to the house entrance, lending support
to the structure and stressing the Im
portance of the final objective for
which streets were created.
If every one would give more
thought to at least some planting and
consistent maintenance of their front
yards, the effect on the community
would more than repay them for their
efforts. One method of Improving a
community as a desirable and attbac
I tlve place in which to lire, is for each
1 Individual concerned to devote time
and interest to the proposition and
i perhaps do a little work In the yard
at home. This will bring more real
- results than all the propaganda ever

At last the United States Depart

Warts Are "Catching."
Dr. Gilbert T. Creech, veterinarian

vldence that some form of life

Warts from the hides of slaugh
sred cattle were finely ground with
alt solution and applied to the
cratched skin surfaces of calves. In
ome cases the solutions were inject

save Best Cockerels
for Future Breeders
Many people make the mistake of
elling the most rapidly growing and
arly maturing cockerels. This is a
listake and the following of this prac
ice will run down any flock rapidly.
l few of the fast growing and early
naturing cockerels should be saved
rom which to select the future breed
rs.
At the same time, however, the ex
ceptionally early maturing bird is also
o be avoided. Males which develop
?ver-sized combs and mature too early
iexually will not prove as desirable
n breeding flock. It is the larger
>irds with wide backs and deep bodies
vhich have a uniform growth of comb
vith that of the body that should be
[elected. Careful attention should
dso be given to health. Good health

>right red comb and wattles.
Limberneck Is Usually
Due to Meat Poisoning
Limberneck in poultry, so-called, is
isually due to poisoning from eating
lead carcasses, maggots from car
casses and spoiled food from the
citchen, according to Dr. L. P. Doyle,
Purdue university. Instances are
common where large lots of chickens
lave died in a short time when they
lad access to one of these sources of
poison.
Strangely enough all fowls are not
poisoned by eating spoiled feed, Doe
:or Doyle states, but no one can tell
pvhen it will be poisonous and his rec
ommendation Is that birds be confined
to lots or when not practicable make
lure that no carcasses lie around the
vards.
Grubs Cause Loss
Control of cattle grubs or heel flies
Is one of the most important Insect
problems with which owners of cattle
r>f all classes have to deal, says the
United States Department of Agricul
ture. The cattle grubs, or as they
are otherwise known, "warbles" or
"wolves," cause losses estimated at
$50,000,000 to $100,000,000 annually.
The adult form of the insect, the heel
fly, Is rarely seen, although its pres
ence terrifies cattle.

well that you feel better all over!
Dr. Caldwell's ' Syrup Pepsin
doesn't turn everything to water,
but cleans out all that hard waste
clogging your system. It cleans
you out without any shock, for It's
only fresh laxative herbs a famous
doctor found so good for the
bowels, combined with pure pepsin
and other harmless ingredients.
A doctor should know what is

well's Syrup Pepsin show you how
soon you can train the bowels to
move freely, every day, the way
they should. It's wonderful the
way this prescription works, but
It's perfectly harmless; so you can
use It whenever a coated tongue or
sick headache tells you that you're
bilious. Fine for children, too (It
tastes so nice) and they ought to
have a spoonful the minute they
seem fretful, feverish, or sluggish,
or have a sallow look.
Ton can get the original prescrip
tion Dr. Caldwell wrote so many
