Opium Production.

Opium Is the product of the poppy which only grows to perfection in a tropical or sub-tropical climate. The part of the British empire that pro- duces the most opium is India, and there production is restricted. The poppy may now be grown by individ. uals or private companies only in the united provinces Agra and Oudh. and In the central Indian native states. Except in those states the manufacture of opium Is govern ment monopoly.

Variety In Breads.

Variety in breads is more impor- tant when the lunch must be carried than at other meals because of the danger of monotony. Wheat bread, whole-wheat bread, corn. rye. or oat- meal breads; nut, raisin, and date breads, beaten biscuit, rolls, crisp bak- ing powder biscuit, or soda biscuit, and toast, zwieback and crackers may be used in turn to give variety.
