IN THE SCHOOL LUNCH
SANDWICHES NECESSARILY PLAY
AN IMPORTANT PART.
So Great a Variety Is Possible That
the Children viii Not Soon Tire
Of Them-s6me Substitutes
for Meat.

Well-prepared sandwiches should
form an important part of every school
lunch. They are easily made and
should be very wholesome and pal
atable. Variety is the spice Of life
here as elsewhere, and there should
be at least two kinds of sandwiches
in each lunch. The number and kind
may be varied from day to day.
Cut the bread for sandwiches into
thin slices of uniform thickness with
a sharp knife. and spread the butter
evenly over both slices Of bread in or
der to keep it moist and prevent any
fruit filling that may be used from
making the sandwiches soggy or indi.
gestible. Sandwiches made several
hours before they are to be eaten
should be wrapped in a moist cloth and
kept in a cool place, or wrapped in
wax paper, to prevent them from dry
ing or absorbing odors.
In giving these directions for MAX
ing sandwiches, Miss Bah Bell of the
University of Missouri, college of ag.
riculture, says little about meat sand
wiches because most people are ia
miliar with the ordinary ham sand.
witch, and in many cases such meat
substitutes as peanut butter, eggs or
cheese should be used instead of the
more expensive meats.
Here are some good sandwich ma
t~erials:
Bread and 8utter.-Cut the bread in
thin slices. Spread the butter evenly
on both slices and press together.
lettuce.-Make a bread-and-butter
sandwich and place a leaf of crisp
lettuce, washed and thoroughly dried,
between the two slices. Put a tea
spoonful of mayonnaise dressing on
the lettuce leaf.
Nuts--Make a lettuce sandwich,
spread one side with nuts, chopped
fine, and mixed with good dressing
Chicken.-Chop cold boiled chicken
and moisten with ~mayonnaise dress
ing. Spread between bread. Add a
lettuce leaf.
Eggs.-Chop the whites of hard
boiled eggs very fine. Mix the yolks

with pepper and salt. Add the whites
and spread between bread. Lettuce
may be used also.
Dates.-Make a filling of one-half
cupful of stoned dates, one-half cupful
of sweet cream; spread between slices
of buttered bread.
Pimento and Cheese.-Make a filling
of one-half cupful of cream cheese and
o%ne-fourth cupful of chopped pimento,
two tablespoonfuls salad dressing, salt
and pepper. Spread on butter evenly.
Cottage cheese may be used or the pi-
mento may be left out.
Peanut Butter.-Peanuts ground and
mixed with a salad dressing make an
excellent filling. The commercial pea
nut butter may also be used. Spread
evenly between buttered bread. A
crisp lettuce leaf adds to the attrac-
ttveness Of this sandwich.

HELPING A FRIEND

What a charming man." said Miss
Ada Rankin.
Her practical father noticed her
flushed cheeks and shining eyes criti-

"How long will he last?"
Ada shivered. She had not thought
of that. She and her father had been
interested for years in mission work

Philanthropically inclined, Mr.. Rankin
and some other charitably inclined
men of wealth in tho rich section of

The words of her father aroused in

Meantime, at the mission in the
city a certain James Frawley, other

the young man who had so impressed
Ada Rankin. Jim was a natural prod

over all the other hoodlums until they
were forced to acknowledge his SUI
premacy. He had run the gauntlet
of police supervision until he had
gained a very bad name.
One day he stood in the prisoners
dock, good for a %tenner," his pals
had decided, for Jim had become
mixed up in a very bad case of high
way robbery. One man in the dis

OF the 200 species of ferns native
to this country a few have become
more or less serious weed pests. The
most troublesome are the ~hay-scented
fern and the brake. According to a

Agriculture, cutting off the tops close
to the soil surface twice a year for
two years will kill out nearly all ferns.
