lar kindergarten luncheon is fruit A
dainty sandwich of homemade bread
with filling of sliced bananas and nut
meats, with an orange, is most salts
flying and delicious luncheon. Other
combinations of sandwich filing are
chopped dates, with an apple to eat
with the sandwich. Fig and walnut
sandwich with a pear, or a bunch Of
grapes with a jelly sandwich. These
may be giveI in rotation, so that there
need be no monotony. A fetching lit
tie basket will help great deal in the
pleasure of lunch. Oranges may be
peeled and each section wrapped in
paper. Pears and apples may be
cored and put together with tooth
picks. All sandwiches should be like
wise wrapped in oiled paper.
If proper attention is given to com
bfning a sweet sandwich with a sour
fruit and a sweet fruit with a sour
sandwich, candy will not be so much
craved. A little candy at the end of
meal Is all right, but it should never
be eaten first.
A generous piece of candy after the
noon meal will generally satisfy the
natural desire of every child for
sweets.
When sweet fruits are not to be
served, cookies and gingerbread will
take their place. A sandwich filling of
chopped peanuts and mayonnaise
dressing will be good one to accom-
pany the cake.
For the older boy or girl who can
not go home for the noon meal a great
ef variety and more substantial food
should be served. Sandwiches, Of
course, may be SO filling and of such
variety that one need not fear lack
of variety.
On cold days more sugar and fats
should be served. In warm weather
lemonade and grape juice are better
drinks than hot milk or cocoa. A cake
of maple sugar or square Of milk
chocolate is far better for any child
than pie or rich cake.

HOUSEHOLD SUGGESTIONS.

Sour cream added to boiled dress
ing will add richness and is just as
good as sweet cream, and it will whip
as well.
A delicious jelly may be made Of
any chopped leftover meat mixed with
gelatine. Serve on lettuce with sal
ad dressing.
Salads may be made of any chopped
leftover meats, such as veal, lamb or
fowl, and adding to any cold cooked
vegetable left from previous meal.
A few tablespoonfuls of canned corn
and tomato may be mixed together
with cupful of bread crumbs makes
a nice dish and you will have the sat
isfaction of having saved something.
When a few lima beans are left,
mash them, thicken little milk with
-four and butter, add the bean puree,
bit of onion juice, and serve nice
cream soup.
Dry cake crumbs make excellent
puddings when baked with custard
poured over them.
To clean a piano case: Take per-
fectly clean piece of canton flannel,
wiring it out in hot water as dry as
possible and drop on it few drops Of
olive oil. Rub a small section of the
case with the damp flannel, and i'm
mediately rub dry with dry flannel.
Then polish with piece of chamois
skin. Rub with the grain of the wood,
and do not stop at a dozen rubs. II
the oil is not all rubbed off, breathe
on the wood and rub again until it
shines.
To clean piano keys, dampen piece
of flannel with alcohol and wipe them
carefully, drying well. Do not touch
the wood with the alcohol.
When there are two or three kinds
of canned sauce left, and not enough
to serve, mix them; put them through
a sieve, add water, thickening, but
ter, and serve with cottage pudding.
Silk stockings, if carefully run at
the heel and toe before wearing and
then washed out in cold water each
time, will wear very much longer than
if not so treated.

ing hole in the top In which fun

Charge Misuse of Funds.

Scandalous misuse and robbery of
public funds in Pee Wee township,
Pike county, are revealed in report
just filed with the state accounting
bureau by Examiner Calvin P. God
frey.
James ]. Myers, who retired as
township clerk and township school
clerk little more than a year ago,
after serving a number of terms, is
charged with the responsibility of
most of the Irregularities.
Examiner Godfrey found that false
bills had been made and presented and
that fraudulent warrants had been
cashed in high handed manner. The
public treasury was mulcted by the
crudest of methods.
The total irregularities aggregate
$6,491.O7. Myers is held to owe the
school district some $4,000 and the
township $1,690.42. The remainder of
the findings are illegal payments,
which are against Myers and others.
Examiner Godfrey said that there
has been wasteful and fraudulent ad-
ministration of affairs, and that the
censure and liability for this must I'M
questionably be mainly put upon
Myers.
Myers admitted to Godfrey that
some of the warrants were cashed, but
declared that there was g, proper rea-
son for issuing them. He said that he
would make advance payments to per-
sons and firms for supplies or serv-
ices, and that he would reimburse him.
