LUNCHEONS FOR
 SCHOOL CHILDREN Things That WillKeep Them Healthy and Preserve
 Their Temper.

All girls and boys going to school crave something sweet, and unless it is supphedeby the home luncheon thsy will buy it from cheap confectionery shops, peddlers, etc. Old cups that have no handles can be used to hold little buildings, and these will serve as an appetizing sweet in any lunch basket. Ginger bread of the s,et kind Is nourishang and liked by all children, while bananas are perhaps the most nourishing fruit that can be purchased. They should be ripe, however, and not have any green ends.
 A good molasses ginger bread ,s made as follows:
 One cup of molasses, one cup of sugar, two tablespoons butter melted and mixed with the molasses, one cup of. boiling water, one heaping teaspoon soda dissolved in the water. Let the water cool before adding to the mo- lasses; three cups of flour and one teaspoonful ginger.
 Make rice pudding without eggs and add raisins to it and bake in old cups instead of large pudding dish, and you will find that the school chill dren will be delighted to take one in their lunch basket. Make a bread pudding with raisins and an egg to give it a semblance of custard, and bake this in the cups. A nice cup custard can be made also, receipt for which is given herewith;
 Beat up four eggs and one small cup of sugar and pour over one quart of warm milk, flavor with lemon, and if nutmeg is liked grate little on Sop. | Fill cups and stand in pan of boiling water and bake about fifteen min utes.
 Avoid the dried-beef sandwich. If there is no cold meat in the house left over from last nights dinner, then 1 try few of the following recipes. Nuts are very nourishing and combin- ed with something else are very ap- l petizing. You must cater to the children just as you do to the elders, for their health is matter of no small concern and their nervous lit tie bodies should be we'll fed just as much as those of the tired parents.
 New ham sandwiches-Mince finely some cold boiled ham and add to it about half the quantity of finely chop ped peanuts. For every cupful of ham and tablespoonful of chopped pickles and if convenient little chopped celery. Mix to a good paste with salad dressing and spread on thin slices of white bread.
 Nut and date sandwiches-Wa Wash, pit and finely chop one pound of dates and add to them an equal amount of chopped nuts. Any kind that you have will answer. Wet, with little lemon juice or sour cherry juice and spread on bread.
 Lemon sandwiches-Mash the yolks of three hard -boiled eggs and add a tablespoonful of butter, dash of salt and some cayenne pepper, tea spoonful of chopped parsley, the grat- ed rind of one lemon. Mix these in- gredients we'll and add three table spoonfuls of lemon juice and spread upon thin slices of wheat or graham bread.
 Nut and cheese sandwiches-Mix together pot cheese and chopped hick- ory nuts, add to it a dash of paprika and spread on either white or brown bread.
 Olives chopped with nuts make a nice filling. Figs chopped up with nuts are delicious, while cold fish, if highly seasoned and dressed with a little mayonnaise, is appetizing.
