LUNCHEs.-Many persons find that the
lunches they catch at railroad stations, or
which they carry with them in their bags
or baskets, give them headaches, and
serve as very poor substitutes for warm
dinners at home 1t is probably because
they are made up so largely of cake and
pastry. The food is too concentrated. has
not enough waste matter and fluid about
it, and SO produces constipation, which is
a sure cause OF dull head and general
bodily discomfort. The vegetables and
soups we eat with our dinners at home
are valuable for fbeir waste-matter as
well as for their nutriment. With our
lunches we miss these, but fruit is still
better for those whose stomachs are
healthy enough to eat it uncooked, and
fruit we can almost always have with us.
For Il substantial lunch TO take from
home, especially for one who is taking
active exercise, cold chicken is GOOD, Or
cold meat cut IN slices. These laid be-
tween buttered slices of bread, make very
nice sandwiches Thin biscuit is USUALLY
more acceptable than bread, and if cut
open, spread with currant jelly, and put
together again, is very nice. The less of
cake, and the palmer that little, the bet
ter for he travellers comfort. Fresh So
da crackers and fresh apples make an ex.
cellent light lunch; but the fine -four
crackers are SO concentrated that it is
best for all who can do so to eat the &C
comparing apples without peeling them.
A simple lunch of this kind, which you
can buy as you hasten through the streets
to the depot, is far. better than the little
sweet cakes and pastry denominations sold
at stands near the depot I5doubt if wo-
men, who know how such things are
made, are often caught buying them
Figs or raisins 90 well with crackers or
gems; but fresh juicy fruit is preferable
when you can get it. a
