The Country Home
BY MRS. W. H. FELTON
WHAT IT COSTS TO LODGE A
PRESDENT AT HOME
I gave you some items in a late
issue of the Tri-Weekly Journal to
show what the United States gov
ernment paid out in Paris to house
the president of the United States
“over there.” It was astounding to
comprehend how much good tax
money was wasted in that one in
stance. It was pure extravagance
and should hava been returned by
congress.
But I am coming to you this time
to tell you how the money is wasted
over here, in an annual appropria
tion that somebody should criticize,
if we cannot stop the drain on the
strong box of the nation.
The White House is a good sized
one, but there is no reason in ‘the
world why it should be allowed the
enormous sum of $25,000 each twelve
months to light up the building.
Over $2,0U0 per month for electric
lights or gas lights, is evidence com
plete to show the wastefulness that
is allowed.
An engineer is constantly in serv
ice at the rate of S2OO per month,
' $2,400 per year. It costs $45,000 each
■ year to maintain repairs. In every
I four yeai-s one might build as good
j looking a house from cellar to garret
for what is spent on repairs so-call
ed. The fuel bill is SB,OOO to warm the
building and steam heat the gree.n
houses. Bvery year they call for
$9,000 to repair the greenhouses. As
they only use the greenhouses to
supply flowers to the White House
you will agree with me that these
flowers come high.
It requires $3,000 annually to re
pair greenhouses. They call for $4,-
000 right now to construct another
greenhouse. This is not all, they
want $6,500 to warm the’ offices that
are occupied by the greenhouse la
borers with watchmen, etc.
Let us count up a little on this
greenhouse proposition. Nine thou
sand dollars to repair those already
built, $3,000 to repair again, may be
inside, $4,000 to build another green
house, $6,500 to warm up the offices
for workmen, a total of $22,500 ev
ery year to build, repair, equip and
heat sufficient greennouses to dec
orate White House parlors.
Wnen 1 remember those “meat
less,” “wheatless,” “heatless” and
“lightless” days that were forced
upon the people of this nation and
am now told in plain words that it
cost the taxpayers more than $22,000
a year to furnish flowers to the
• White House while we were starving, I
freezing and sitting in the dark or
going to bed before sundown to save
money to teed the Belgians, I ‘feel
like kicking at somebody, and then
rebuking myself for being such a
blamed idiot as to pay any attention
to such orders.
The president gets $75,000 a year
and everything furnished, but here
comes a bill for $4,000 for some late
traveling expenses, shoved in with
repairs on greenhouses. Here is
an itemized claim for $141,500 to
keep the White House repaired for
one year, and heat to warm and flow
ers to decorate!
One brave Texas Democrat “got
upon his uppers,” to use an old say
ing, and thus discoursed:
“Air. Chairman: Is it necessary to
spend $4,000 every year to build a
new greenhouse? Is it absolutely
necessary to spend $40,000 oi’ $45,000
every year to maintain this White
House building alone? I say it is
ridiculous. None of this $45,000 goes
to pay the horde of servants, guards
and watchmen. They are all paid out
of other No private
citizen, no matter how rich he is, has
to go over his house every year in
this way. Bight thousand dollars for
fuel alone is ridiculous in each year.
Nine thousand dollars for care of
greenhouses in one year and each
year is ridiculous. Eight thousand.
' six hundred dollars each j;ear for
lighting that mansion is ridiculous.
We ought to wakl up and stop some
of this extravagance. We cannot
charge it up to anybody except con
gress, and we and all of us are
guilty if we do not stop it.”
Another member rose up to say:
“Now, what about that item of $25,-
000 per year for the president’s trav
eling expenses, which can only be
expended on his own certificate?”
“Oh,” replied Mr. Blanton, of Tex
as, “I want to see it cut out of the
bill. There is too much actual
money called for traveling ex
penses. . . • We pay the president
$75,000 a year, and we make every
kind of a‘liberal allowance for the
necessities of the White House. I
want to say that $45,000 is entirely
too much money to keep up the re
pairs and care of that White House.”
So it goes, dear readers of The Tri-
Weekly Journal! Saving at the
spigot, losing at the bung.
I am informed, also. upon what
looks to me as good authority by one
of the persons employed in those
war-time departments, that there are
still thousands of men and women
kept there in peace-times, with little
or nothing to do, in each other s way.
yet they are drawing anywhere from
SIOO per month and upward; and no
one can tell when these people are
to be discharged and permitted to go
at something that will support them
bv their own labor. What I have
here written has been copied from
the Congressional Record, the official
document that publishes the speeches
and votes of congress members.
There is an old proveab. said to
be one of Benjamin Franklin’s mot
toes “A wilful waste will make a
woeful want.” It is the tax money
of the people that is thus flung wild,
and It is the biggest sort of graft,
when you sift it down to the bottom.

MARY MEREDITH’S ADVICE
TO LONELY GIRLS AT HOME
Box Letter .
I answered a widow’s letter,
who sipp ed herself, lonely widow,
dark eyes, in the May 1 issue of
the Tri-Weekly. If you will write
to me again and give me your
address, I have something for
you. However, I am only doing
this to accommodate a subscriber,
and am not running a matrimonial
bureau. I destroy all letters aft
er they are answered.
Dear Aladam: I am coming to you
for advice. lam eighteen and should
know what to do myself, but I like
your advice and want to know what
you would do if you were me. I
went with a boy about a year, we
were never big sweethearts, although
we seemed to be real fond of each
other, “just dear friends.” He quit
going with me without any cause,
we never quarreled, got along finelv
while in school together. He stopped
going -with me for about two years
and went off to teach school. He is
a real nice boy, thought well of by
both old and young. Since his re
turn here he wants to renew our
friendship. There is a boy going
with me now. a nice boy, too. and
he begs me not to let the teacher
cut him out again. He claims he
loves me better than any other girl,
and always will.
I think more of the teacher.
Which one should I let go? I have
lots of boy friends and several want
to go with me, but don’t want me
to go with any one else. I am not
jealous and cannot endure a jealous
boy.
I have written too much already,
won't worry you longer. Please an
swer through The Journal; your
kindness will be appreciated.
PEGGY.
Peggy:—A girl isn’t supposed
to give up her friends like that
unless she is engaged. It is very
selfish in a man to expect it.
unless he intends to marry the
girl. I do not believe in a young
girl giving all of her time to ft
man, unless they are engaged to
marry. It is not quite fair to the
girl. Many times girls make
that mistake and then the boy
gets tired of coming or some
thing happens, then the girl has
lost all of her other boy friends
on account of him. However, it
is a matter of choice with you.
Do the thing you wish and you
will be happier. But, “tote
square.”
I am years old. have
large brown eyes, fair complexion,
brown hair, weigh 128 pounds. I
want to ask your advice. I am nor
a lonely girl. I have everything
heart could desire. lam in love with
a boy. He and I were engaged but
I went off for a trip of about eight
months and I broke the engagement.
I see now where I made the mistake,
not him. He still Poves me. I know,
but is too proud to tell me so again.
We see each other real often and
talk of happiness and of other sub
jects. What should I do, being I was
in the wrong? Would love for you
to advise me. Please answer this
in The Journal. Thank you for your
advice. PEGGIE.
Evidently you did not care for
hin>, or something must have
happened in a serious way to
cause yV>u to break off your en
gagement with the young man.
Ts you are sure you are in the
wrong, and he is too proud to
ask you again, make it conven
ient for him to call to see you.
and be woman enough to ac
knowledge you were in the
wrong. Give him another chance
to ask von. But be sure first
you are right about his loving
you, or else you will embarrass
yourself.
J am coming to you for advice. I
am a lonely girl of 18 and am engag
ed to a boy .of the same age who is
off at college.
I have been going and correspond
ing with him for six years. I love
him and he says that he loves me
and would always.
W’e have burst up for only a small
cause. I wrote him a letter teasing
him about a boy I saw that he didn’t
like, so I wrote him a. letter asking
forgiveness. The last letter I receiv
ed from him was very indifferent, it
was two weeks ago. he did not say
anything about forgiving me.
Alust I write again?
Do you think' he loves me after do
ing this way?
Before he left for college he got
me to promise if we had any falling
out while he was away that he could
call on me when he came home on a
vacation. The last letter I received
from him stated that he was coming
home in March and wanted to call on
me. Must I let him or not? How
must I act if he should? He is very
jealous of me, and doesn’t want me
to go with any boys while he is
awy. Do you think it is fair?
If we are bursted up for good’is it
not right to return the things that
he gave to me?
Is it right to let the boy that you
are engaged to kiss you, will it make
him think more or less of you?
My mother has been dead for eight

years and I would like very much for
you to give me some advice.
From a troubled-hearted girl.
TROUBLED-HEARTED GIRL.
I am sorry I have been so long
in answering your letter, I notic
ed it is dated March 18, I hope I
am not too late to give you any
advice.
If your friend really loves you
he will not let anything come be
tween he and you. It does not
pay to be too true to a boy be
fore marriage. They like to have
some one else in the running.
Even they are piqued, don’t
eat too much humble pie. You
did what was required of you
when you wrote and asked his
forgiveness. If he ignored it, do
not write again. If he really
loves you he will call to straight
en things out. And should he
want to do this, let him.
As for kissing, there is little
use of my telling you what to do.
Let your better judgment tell you
what to do. But never let a man
have too many privileges.
Miss Aleredith. 'Can you or any of
the readers of The Journal tell me
a cure for eczema? I have a spot
of it on my throat which burns and
irritates me very much during the
spring and summer months. It looks
very much like sunburn when ex
posed to air.
Now another favor. Does age have
anything to do with how a married
lady wears her hair? I am twenty
seven years of age and wear my
hair puffed over the ears which is
very becoming I am told. If this
style is inappropriate for me please
suggest something that would best
suit me.
I use Beauty powder for my
complexion, but my skin seems
to rought up and looked chafed. How
can I manage to get better results?
Aly skin feels smooth and never
troubles me until I use powder.
Thanks.
IGNORANT.
Ignorant.—The only think I
know to tel) you to do is to go
to a good physician and let him
treat you for the eczema. I would
not risk using anything on my
face if I were you. unless by a
doctor’s prescription.
Age has very 'little to do with
fixing your hair. You can wear
your hair dressed like a girl of
eighteen if it is becoming to the
contour of your face. Hair dress
ed to suit the face and to en
hance it, is the aim of every
girt and woman. It is woman’s
crowning glorv so take good care
to comb it so it will improve
your features.
Powder must irrit&te your
skin. Your skin is sensitive‘ and
you must be very careful of it.
Rice powder, I think, is the least
harmful of all face powders.
Alany powders contain white
lead, which ruins the skin.
