- HILDREN come back from vacation
DAYS In better health and with nerves
all steady from outdoor days on lake
and river; they are really eager to be
gin again the life OF school and book. And
right here comes In the important duty
of the mother 70 see that the health and
stamina developed in vacation is continued
into the days when study and lessons take
energy and food.
Sometimes parents are surprised at the
amount children eat Often they 40 not
think the child should have as much food
as grown people: too often mothers think
that they can get "a bite" at some store
OF from a yender OF penny wares. But
aothing is more important than the right
feeding OF the growing child Of school age.
While lunch rooms are sometimes estab-
lished in the school il is far more often
the case that the child must either 90
home 10 eat OF else carry a lunch. And
40 mother must shirK the problem of pro-
Fiding varied upbuilding lunches for the
child at school
There are many kinds Of boxes 10 be
bought which permit neat and easy
carrying. Some OF these have a lower pOr-
ton which enclOses a vacuum bottle Of
half pint size for milk. cocoa or soup. A
separate tin compartment for sandwiches
Is excellent Some boxes look like minia
ture suitcLses, and are most convenient to
carry. When not in use boxes should be
we'll aired. and given frequent scourings
with washing soda 10 keep them fresh.
The success of any box depends on the
packing roll OF waxed paper, tissue
napkins and several small jars with fitting
tops. such as various Jams come in, will be
useful. a cOllapsible cup should be car
ried BY every child so that il will never
drink out Of a common drinking cup. There
Is also a combination folding knife, fork
and spoon on None handle which may be
taken. The aim should be TO have foods
packed daintily, so that they will not be
mushy when opened. And it Is also i'm
oortant 10 keep the foods varied, so that
he child will not weary of the same az
ieles day after day.

oeautity the hands. Never allow yourself
10 forget that the ageing hand is the
hand whose muscles are shrinking from
disuse Increase the circulation and the
hand will plumpen and in time resume its
youthful lines.
Another indispensable aid IN keepins
the hands young is TO massage them Nv
favoHte methods OF massage are two, the
motion We use when washing the hands,
and the one We use when smoothing down
and ftting a new pair OF gloves on the
hands for the first time.
In addition. you must know that the
hands need food as well as the skin OF
the face. Both are exposed to the dryina
tendencies OF the outer air and the heat
ing influence OF the inner Consequently
both need a replenieAling OF the natural
oils Olive oil is a good food for the
hands. The japanese are very fond Of
cocoanut oil for this purpose and a good
cold cream VIII soon produce a marvellous
change IN the appearance OF the hands,
provided the treatment is kept up daily for
several weeks.
To relieve the congested, swollen ap-
pearance OF the hands, form the habit Of
holding them upward so that the blood
will run out OF them instead OF down
ward, which coaKes the blood 10 run into
them. You must also avoid the lifting OF
heavy weights. For lifting anything CT this
nature stretches the hands and makes
them larger besides overhlling the blood
vessels and rendering them more con.
spicuous than need be.
II the knuckles be naturally large. and
piano playing will sometimes increase this
defect. II Is wise to keep the hands well
msssaged. TO improve the circulation and
to feed the tissues constantly with sooth.
ing oils and cold creams.
Unshapely hands can be improved by
pinching the tips Of the fingers from the
sides, or by wearing clamps, or thimbles
on all the fingers a half an hour OF more
every day. But above all. hands OF any age
must be kept white. Heddened hands are
always unsightly whatever the cause.
There are plenty OF bleaches for the hands.
One Of the best ! know is made up
Of equal parts OF glycerine and rosewRter,
to which has been added ten drops OF car
bolio acid. A half lemon rubbed on the
back of the hands before retiring viii
keep them as soft and young looking as
an unblown rosebud.

It is equal to criminal neglect to let a
child come home from school and then
merely give him a slice or bite to have in
his hand TO roam the streets with. Far
better to take the time to pack we'll
planned nourishing lunch box that will
feed the child as well as attract him. IT
is also equally bad to permit children to
buy waffles and hot dogs" and such stuff
from vendors who often frequent schools.
No, the mother has the responsibility Of
the child's health quite as much during
school as at any other time and a we'll
planned lunch box will bring its own re-
ward in good health, disposition and high
grades in study.
Here are three school lunches that may
well serve as models:
Brownbread cheese sandwiches, cup Gus
tard prunes stuffed with peanuts, orange,
bran cookies.
Sardine paste Sandwiches, peanut butter
sandwiches, dried figs, sweet chocolate,
milk.
Hard boiled eggs, salmon salad, Jam
bread, dried raisins, bottle of soup.

Corbett's Daily Letter
 On Great Sport Topics
Nv JAMES J. CoRBETr

One of the most sensational fights ever staged in New York was that on January 10, 1899, between Kid Mccoy and Tom Sharkey. It was case of one of the cleverest ring men that ever donned a glove against the toughest and most az gressve fighter that ever stepped into the ring. And the slugger won.
 Kid Mccoy, who had started his career in 1891, had gained worldwide reputation up to the time he was matched with Sharkey. He was wizard in speed, in cleyerness, in shiftness and in ring gen. eralship. He was tall, angular chap only 26 years old at the time, and beamed around 160 pounds. Sharkey, on the other hand, weighed close to 199 pounds, knew little about science, but possessed terrific punching power and amazing ability to stand up under the most merciless bomba rGments of foemen
 The fight was for a s15,0o0 purse, and $5o00 side bet, with Tim Hurst acting as the referee.
 Through the first two rounds Mccoy made Sharkey look like the worst novice that ever stepped into the ring. He 1abbed the sailor at will and his ducking and sidestepping made it impossible for Sharkey to land solid punch. In the
