IN THE LUNCH BASKET.
Care in Preparation Of Contents 10
Well Worth While.

If the child goes to school so far
from home that basket lunch Is nec-
essary no less care should be taken
in preparing this makeshift for a meal.
It should be put up daintily, the vari-
GUS kinds of food being neatly wrap
ped in oiled paper. To send a child to
school with lunch composed Of "any
old thing" arranged in haphazard
manner is to invite all kinds of ills
to take possession Of the little stom-
ach.
The first thing, of course, is to be
sure that the lunchbox or basket Is ab-
solutely clean. Then cut several pieces
of oiled paper. In one you may put a
number of small sandwiches. Thinly
sliced whole-wheat bread, with some
sensible filling makes the best sand
wiches, but there should be enough OF
them to assauge the cravings OF
hunger.
In another packet. place some tasty
sweet. Avoid pie assiduously, but any
cake that is not too rich and that
has only plain icing will answer the
purpose nicely. Fruit, too, should be
added, with some crisp cookies OF
ginger waters, but do not be tempted
to insert any candy unless you chance
to have supply of absolutely pure
maple sugar.

ANOTHER MORSE BANK SHUT
NEW AMSTERDAM NATIONAL IS
CLOSED BY COMPTROLLER.
President klnsman Says Depositors
Will Lose Nothing and Stockhold.
ers Will Get Dividend.

New York, Jan. 30.-The New Am.
sterdam National bank, capitalized at
$1,OO0,OO0 and situated at Broadway
and Thirty-ninth street, was closed by
the order of the comptroller of the
currency Wednesday night and Ma
tional Bank Examiner Charles A.
Hanna was placed in charge.
The institutions liabilities are
placed at s4,4s2,O16, of which $2,O65.-
272.49 are due depositors. The banks
officers assert that not only will every
depositor be paid in full, but the stock
holders will receive substantial divi-
dend.
The New Amsterdam National was
formerly one of the chief links in the
chain of banks established by Charles
w. Morse. President Frank w. Kins.
man, Jr., declared, in a statement is-
sued Wednesday night, that "the clos.
ing of the National Bank of North
America, attracting renewed attention
to the interests which had previously
dominated both institutions in their
past administrations, started fresh re-
ports of an exaggerated and sensa-
tional nature which necessitated the
liquidation of the bank" The insti-
tuition occupied quarters in the Met
ropolitan Opera house, in the heart
of the uptown theatrical district and
numbered among it's clientele many of
those prominent on the stage.
President D. A. Sullivan of the Me-
chanics' and Traders bank announced
shortly before midnight Wednesday
night that the institution would not
open it's doors Thursday. This de-
cision was reached at a meeting of the
board of directors lasting four hours.
In statement issued after the meet
ing the directors declared the bank
solvent, but the state of the cash re-
sources made it appear inadvisable
for the bank to continue business.
New York, Feb. 1.-The Oriental
bank, on which run Of depositors
was started Thursday, did not open
for business Friday. A notice was
posted on it's doors announcing that
the institution was closed by order of
the state superintendent of banks. The
Oriental is state bank having cap.
