System must be used in directing the marketing for the family.
One essential to proper. Marketing is a family budget. The budget for food must be subdivided to establish just how much money can be expended for various provisions. In this respect the value of the knowl edge of a balanced ration is apparent. Without such knowledge the dis penser of the budget is like a ship without a rudder.
The family in moderate circumstances with a smaller budget must figure more closely than those in af?uence; the family in poor circum stances can more easily and properly provide for the family needs by keeping a budget. In fact, the latter has greater need of a budget for expenses than the former.
Certain days should be marked as days for purchase of certain pro visions. This may be determined by local markets.
The writer has not found the parcels post altogether a satis factory method of procuring produce - your local merchants who are, perchance, your neighbors, will feel a more intimate need for providing the quality commensurate with price than someone fifty or one hundred and fifty miles away, to whom you cannot return undesirable merchandise.
There is no food problem so complex as scientific marketing, com plex because so many elements enter into a day's dietary.
