The Monotonous School Lunch
Copyright, 1916, by the Mcclure
Newspaper Syndicate)

Copyright, 1916, by the Mcclure
Newspaper Syndicate)
A mother whose greatest success is
the happiness of her family, said not
long ago: Don't ever put childrens
school lunches in brown paper bags"
1t was good advice. this. Not that a
brown paper covered luncheon need be
unpalatable and attempting. But a
brown paper bag for the school lunch
day after day means monotony. and
anything that means monotony is sure
to mean. sooner or later, a lack OF ap-
petite and interest.
1t is an easy matter to save candy
and other small boxes for the school
lunch. Then. too, attractive wicker
trays and baskets can be bought for
10 cents each, and one of these will last
q long time.
Have plenty of waxed paper always
on hand. Wrap things rather liberaly
In this. Occasionally place a flower in
the lunch basket or a few candies or
some other little and dainty surprise.
BE sure that the school lunch forms
a well balanced ration. BE watchful of
the food values of the food you pack
and remember that the child eating at
school must he well nourished. but at
the same timo must not be fed food too
heavy In character.
When the appetite flags and tires of
any ingredients Of the lunch basket,
try a. complete change. Leave sand
wiches out of the menu entirely for a
week or SO and put In some fresh fruit.
Or put in a handful of raisins and nuts
instead of the usual cake or cookies.
Put a heart of celery in the lunch, or
put in a heart of fresh, crisp lettuce
some cool day when 1t will remain
crisp.
Good sandwich filings for the school
lunch are made of all sorts OF chopped
meat. chopped hard boiled eggs, rails
ms, and nuts, separately or together,
chopped fine or put through the meat
grinder; figs and dates chopped fine,
cream or pot cheese mixed with cream
and pepper and salt. watercress, let
tuce, and tomatoes.
