No, you didn't have any hot food at
noon when you attended the little red
school to which you trudged over two
miles of roads that always seemed
muddy, dusty, or waist deep with snow.
But wouldn't even hot cupful OF
COCOA have doubled your enjoyment of

Few grown-ups eat absolutely cold

Hot Lunches in Rural Schools.

son. Those who We're in close touch
With the educational problem, both in

Packing the MONDAY lunch for the
school children is a very incidental
part of the mornings work for most
mothers, and the baskets conten.s
show it. Cold griddle cakes, left from
breakfast; soda biscuits, slabs of pie,

simple foods, and when more extensive
plans were desired, helped the teacher
to organize the families of the children
attending her school. The United
States department of agriculture has
a publication which tells how to make
school lunches more attractive and
more nutritious. 1t is Farmers Bull
letin 712, and will be sent on request.
In most schools all that is attempted
to serve is hot cocoa, soup, or creamed
dishes. But in some localities the
whole lunch is n community affair, one
family sending enough food of one
kind for all. Many mothers with two
or three lunch baskets to pack prefer
instead to send a pan of baked beans,
two loaves of raisin bread, or an en-
tire cake. When this method is fol-
lowed, the teacher plans so the bur-
den is shared equally. Each family is
furnished once a week with slip tell
school day. This works out success
fully in localities where the commu-
nifty life is strong.
Many ways of distributing the W rk
at the school are used. In some locali-
ties each child furnishes its own
dishes; in others they are provided
by the school. A community adopts
the plan best fitted to its needs. One
of the plans of the home demonstra-
ton agents for the coming year is to
see that every rural child will have
fair chance to develop into the strong,
useful citizen he was intended to be,
and they feel the hot lunch is one of
the potent factors.

Keep Cloth Looking Like New.

To have fabrics, after laundering,
possess their original appearance, care
must be taken with colored materials
that they do not fade, and with white
materials that they remain snow white.
Aside from this, suggests the depart
ment of agriculture, much depends on
the sizing of cloth. Tso much stiffen-
ing spoils its appearance and too little
is quite as bad.
Most housekeepers use starch for
stiffening ordinary clothing. Starch
keeps the clothes clean longer and also
acts as an absorbent for stain, thus
saving wear on the fiber by making
excess friction in laundering unneces-
sary. Manufacturers add other SUBJ
stances besides starch to their finished
mixture and their practices have been
adopted in home laundry work with
success.
For instance, borax gives smooth
ness; paraffin, wax or turpentine give
gloss; and alum d certain degree Of
pliability. The substance used to
whiten is bluing, which counteracts the
yellow tinge. To use any finishing proc
ess successfully the mixture must be
carefully worked into the fabric to
insure uniform finish. This,is done by
dipping in and out of the starch and
bluing and rubbing well between the
hands.

BEING A GOOD MOTHER
BY MRS. ISABEL S. WALLACE


The education of young girls should
prepare them for the greatest work in
the world-wifehood and motherhood,
and 1 wish they could all have courses
in home-nurslng, domestic science and
kindergarten training
My training as klndergartner
taught me many things, among thea
keeping strictly to schedule; so my
baby was fed, bathed and put 10 bed
regularly. Habit is formed early in
life, and can help to make or mar
character, depending on whether hnb-
It's are good or bad. This carrying out
Of regular schedule was not nj
ways easy, for II meant sacrifice OF
many pleasures. But / wanted to be
4 good mother first of all, and i was
rewarded by having Il happy, good
baby. Even now at six years old
there is no fuss at nap time or bed
time. One of the things taught un-
consciously in the kindergarten is reg
llarity and promptness, and these can
be taught in the home just as well.
Long before baby could talk she
knew the little play for the fingers,
