School Lunch.

When 1t is considered that many
school children depend upon the box
lunch for about one-third of their
food supply II is seen that its prepa-
ration is rather an important prob
lem A lunch may be a source OF
pleasure to a child: 10 may be full OF
surprises, or 1t may disappointment.
Just as In the preparation OF any
other meal, there are three points to
consider In getting up the school
lunch; selection of proper food and
the right amount OF variety; prepara-
tion of food so that jt will be palatable
and digestible: and packing in an at
tractive. sanitary way. Often lunches
consist OF foods that are difficult to
digest, such as meat. pie. doughnuts,
cheese and pickles There is lack OF
the simple, more dgestible foods,
such as jelly. jam, peanut butter and
lettuce sandwiches. custard. ginger
bread fruits. nuts and candy. Neat
ness should be emphasized in packing
the lunch, for unattractive food Is not
eaten with relish. Wax paper should
be used to wrap up such articles as
sandwiches, so they will not absorb
flayors. A permanent container, made
Of tin, Is better than a paper box or
bag for daily use, since II can be
cleaned easily and prevents the food
from drying out Each article OF food
should be packed compactly In the
cOntainer, because jostling is apt to
spoil the lunch.@Mary Betz.

Cheese and Egg Biscuit.

two tablcspoontuls of milk a tea
spoonful of butter a very little made
mustard, a few grains each of salt and
sugar and a teaspoontul OF vinegar.
Stir tO.miN thoroughly and spread II
thickly ON slices OF biscuit. Divide
one hard-boiled egg evouly on the
cheese, cover each with a slice OF
biscuit and wrap each in wax paper.
OF course II is ont Of the question to
bake biscuits on purpose for the
school lunch, but biscuits are one Of
tho most expeditions things in the
world TO make for breakfast once In
a while, and then comes the OppOr-
tunity TO use them as directed.
Sift together In the mixing bowl
four cupfuls Of sifted flour taspoon-
full OF salt and two hcaping teaspoon
fuls OF baking powder. Rue I'm a
tablespoonful of pure lard and put It
away in the pantry until the morning.
Then, when the oven is hot and being
ready to bake, grease the bake pan,
add about two cupfuls of milk of one
cupful OF milk and the rest water, and
mix 1t rapidly into a smooth dough
not too soft, because then ii sticks to
everything. Turn 1t out on the
floured pastry board. flatten 1t quickly

one inch Stamp out pieces with a
cutter about two inches in dimeter.
Arrange them on the pan, and gather
up the pieces left In cutting, press
them together and flatten and stamp

Use for Old Stocking Legs.

when old stockings and socks are
past mendlng, the legs are often so
good and warm that it seems a pity
to cast them away.
Take an old sheet. cut the feet off

the seam. lay them flat, and tack
upon the sheet until It Is all covered.
Then line with an old blanket or
woolen tablecloth. The lining should.

A cover for a hot water bag is
readily crocheted, using plain cro-

shell stitches, which form a ruffle
when the cover is drawn tightly
around the neck of the bottle.
Ribbon, linen tape or crocheted
string may be used as draw string
to confine the fullness of the ruffle.

AT 10 o'clock / would give her milk
two parts oatmeal or barley Cruel, one
part making from ten to twelve
ounces in all She would then nap
outdoors until II O'Clock or probably
later
When Miriam awoke I spread a
blanket on the porch floor and there
she played until tired. At intervals
would give her a drink of water, al
ways boiling and cooling it first
At o'clock 1 would give her about
two ounces of beef juice or the white

a piece Of buttered toast.
About 1880 | would get her ready
