Suggestions for School
Lunches to Stay Riddles
Craving Until Night Meal

Don't let the school lunch be merely
something which will I'LL the lunch box
in the morning and be only sop to
stay the kiddies' appetites from noon
until night. Make 1t real contribu-
ton to the food which the children
require to meet the needs Of their
growing bodies and active brains--to
satisfy their appetites and keep them
In health.
These are the suggestions Of home
economics specialists of the United
States department Of agriculture, now
that millions Of the future citizens of
the country are again eating their mid
day meals from box, basket. bag or
confectionery shop instead Of from the
family table under watchful parental
eyes.
The preparation Of luncheons which
will I'LL the needs Of the child's body,
does not mean the use Of more expen-
sive foods or the expenditure Of great
er effort, the specialists paint out. In
many cases both expense and work
will be lessened. What is needed for
the preparation Of more satisfactory
lunches Is merely that parents and
"big sisters" or whoever fills the lunch
box, shall inform themselves of certain
facts in regard to the choice and COM
binatiOn of foods. The need In many
cases is for neither more nor less food,
but for the representation of needed
food groups. The necessary facts are
set out plainly in Farmers Bulletin
TIP, "School Lunches"
The following suggestions are among
those made In the bulletin for we'll
balanced lunches to be carried to
school:
1. Sandwiches with sliced tender
meat for filing; baked apple, cookies
or few Jumps Of sugar.
2. Sliced meat loaf or bean loaf
bread and butter sandwiches, stewed
fruit, small frosted cake.
3. Crisp rolls, followed out and
filed with chopped meat or fish. moist.
ened and seasoned, or mixed with
salad dressing, orange, apple, mixture

4. Lettuce or celery, sandwiches, cup
custard, jelly sandwiches.
8. Cottage cheese and chopped green
pepper sandwiches or a pot of
cream cheese with bread-and-but-
ter sandwiches, peanut sandwiches,
fruit, cake.
6. Hard-boiled eggs, crisp baking
powder biscuits, celery or radishes,
brown sugar or maple sugar, sand

z. Bottle Of milk, thin corn bread
and butter, dates, apples.
8. Raisins or nut bread with but

Time Needed to
Fatten Poultry

The question Is often asked: How
long does 1t take to fatten poultry
properly?
The time required to. fatten chickens
and other poultry for prime market
finish depends largely upon what kinds
Of feeds are given and the range of
the birds during the fattening period.
If the birds are allowed to run at
large and range freely the fattening
period Is much longer, and in some
gases with wide range the birds will
never become in prime market condi-
ton, no matter how literally fed. The
reason for this is that the birds in
walking and roaming over wide areas
take too much exercise, and feed that
under other conditions would go to
form flesh and fat goes to furnish
muscular energy, which is lost SO far
as fattening Is concerned.
In the case of turkeys, which are
semiwild birds, limited range for the
birds is necessary, especially In early
and late fall, when insects, wild seeds,

secured. Turkeys will grow and take
on flesh as long as these wild feeds on
the open range can be secured freely.
However, as cold weather comes on it
Is best to supply turkeys with corn and
other feeds they will eat close to the
barn and poultry quarters, so that they
will roam as little as possible as the
marketing period approaches. They
will not bear confinement and forced
feeding like other kinds Of poultry. In
very close confinement they will worry
off more flesh and fat than they will
put on, as rule.
With chickens, ducks and geese 1t Is
economical to conf1ne them closely and
feed heavily q few days before mar
keting. The confined birds should
have oil they will possibly eat Of mixed

Duty of Public In Wartime
BY DR.. SAMUEL q. DIXON.
Commissioner Of Health Of Pennsylva nis

It would seem as though the general
public ought to be fully Informed on
most Of the horrors of war. judging by
the amount that is printed on this sub
ject. Nevertheless, there Is apparent
ly one phase that is not generally ap-
preciated. refer to the danger from
communicable diseases acquired dur
Ing the hardships of a soldiers life,
especially If he happens to be taken
prisoner and Is thus exposed In con-
finement with hundreds of his mates.
These diseases are carried from place
to place wherever soldiers are trans
ported, and often. when soldiers are
invalided and sent home, they bring
these communicable diseases with
them to distribute among the civil
population.
Already we have felt the lack of
enough physicians to protect the health
Of the people Mt home, and the health
officer Is somewhat Mt a loss to know
how to enforce his health measures.
The only solution Of the problem Is
for the individual to give time and
attention to taking care Of himself.
He must put himself in receptive at
titude toward the suggestions of the
sanitary officer, even though he may
think some of the suggestions so
trifling as not to be worthy of serious
consideration. There Is one thing sure,
and that Is that he will consider Ii a
serious matter If tho disease warned
against should hnplep 10 come his
way. 81

It was in the decisive assaults on
the highest crest Of Hill No. 1912 that
Miss Sands active career was sud-
denly cut short. How this happened
let her relate in her own words:
1--WE had been crouching in our
shallow pits for hours, waiting i'm.
patiently for the order to attack. At
seven o'clock in the morning the or

show lay on the ground. was out

It Is my duty as non-commissioned
officer. But, unfortunately, I am not
so nimble as most Of my men. So 1t
happens that I am generally among
the last to reach an enemy trench.
Well, had nearly reached the brink
Of the Bulgarian trench In which our
men were already at grips with the
defenders. I was one of small group
Of laggards-perhaps half dozen
when well aimed grenade fell in our
midst. A couple Of men besides my
self. were in the radius of its explo-
sion and fell wounded, but seem to
have got most Of the scatter"
So this Amazon tells her story.
Simple 1t Is and self-denying, for q
number Of her brother officers have
stories to tell of the engagement
which considerably elaborate upon her
terse recital.
In the military hospital of Camp No.
Al she was the only patient of her
sex. The camp had accommodation
for sixteen hundred sick or wounded,
and there Is heavy percentage Of
women among the Serbian armies.
A few days after her admittance
into the hospital a royal aide de camp
came to her bedside and, on behalf Of
the prince regent of Serbia, pinned to
her breast, with much ceremonial, the
gold and silver cross of Kara-G George
a rare badge that is given only for
conspicuous bravery on the field Of
battle.

HEROINE OF SERBIAN BATTLEF|ELDS
By G. KAY SPENCER

One Of the bitterest contests chron-
icled during the great war has for its
setting that bleak region surrounding
GOrnitchevo and Kaymakohalan, in the
Serbian campaigns to defend their lit
tie country from the Teuton octopus.
In the Serbian ranks were many,
heroic women who dressed like the
men and fought as unselfishly. But
we are to tell about a little woman
6cot-who exiled herself from her
native hills Of old Scotland to march
over hard frozen ground powdered
with wind-driven snow on the hills Of
Serbia.
Her claim to fame would very prob
ably have never been differentiated
from that of many another woman
trudging in the Serbian ranks had
she not been cast by fate into mill
tary hospital maintained by the Brit
ish on that front.
In the early winter that saw the
beginning Of the drives which pushed
the Bulgaro- Germans back to the
mountain known as Hill No. 1912, this
little Scotchwoman was carted to the
base hospital with her whole right
side, from the shoulder to the knee, a
mass Of torn flesh and shattered bone.
Miss Flora Sands-for that is the
name Of this intrepid Scotswoman-'
began working in Serbia as a Red
Cross nurse early in the war. SHer
sympathy became so aroused by the
sufferings and heroism of the people
that, when the hospital units were
broken up during the great retreat of
October and November, 1915, she So
licited and obtained permission to en-
list as private soldier in the rear
suard that protected the retreating
army. Before that army reached the
Adriatic she had won promotion. Be
come Sergeant Sands, she stood high
In the regard of both officers and
men Of the crack regiment to which
she still belongs. On the Macedonian
front she went through the whole of
the arduous and successful campaign
that began on September II.

Onions for Colds.

The efficiency Of onions Is well
known to the singers Of Italy and
Spain, who eat them every day to- Inn
prove the quality Of their voices.
Onion plasters are prescribed to
break up hard colds. They are made
of fried onions placed between two
pieces of muslin. The plaster is kept
quite hot until the patient is snugly In
bed. Then 1t is placed on the chest to
stay over night. Onion strip is said by
some to be unequaled as cure for Q
bad cold on the chest.
