knows just how they feel. for he had
a cold plunge the other day that he
wasn't bargaining for. Tom happen
ed to be down near the fish hatchery
and stepped on rotten piece Of ice
Of any kind and Tom went into the
water. His clothes were frozen stiff
before they got him home.

and villages all over our country. In
fants, young children and animals
frequently suffer. especially In warm
weather. for want Of water. not being
able to make their want known.
Plenty Of water taken into the sys.
ten is nn absolute necessity for the
literal washing out Of waste materials
from the blood. Professor Etheridgs
In discussing the medical value of wa
ter says:
Gold water drunk In quantities In
the evening will dissolve and flush
blood impurities which. producing
cerebral Irritation by their frictional
contact In their passage through the
capillarfes, thus causing insomnia and
nervousness, now find their way out
Of the body through the kidneys"
The loudly heralded diuretIc proper
ties Of various mineral springs are
chiefly due to the fact TINT water 10
taken there I'm such large quantities.
It is q popular belief that water 10
fattenIng. and the reason is easily un-
derstood. for.it is the medium for con-
veying material to all parts Of the
body and for removing waste prod.
ucts. Hence those who drink water
freely must have the nutritive material
best distributed throughout their
bodies and the waste products most
quickly thrown OF.

WHAT DO YOU PUT IN
YOUR HUSBANDS LUNCHEON? +?

A great deal is written these days
on the subject Of the school children's
lunch boxes. How about the workman
who carries his dinner with him
What goes into his lunch box?
The following article by q well
known writer for women's magazines,
Jane Prescott Adams, is worth read
ing.
"I'he wives of the men who 20 to
work each morning should realize that
what they prepare for that monday
lunch box is most important to the
health and comfort OF, their mon. Men
who are doing hard manual labor need
food that is both substantial and appe-
tizing. Some women claim that they
spend moR time and as much trouble
getting up this cold MONDAY lunch
as they would over a hot meal, and
they are right to do SO. However,
it will make their work easier ii, when
planning and cooking the evening
meal, they prepare something that will
go into the 9ext days lunch box as
"For instance, boiled or roast meat
for supper. provides first class sand
wiches, but you can make them nicer
by adding chopped and slightly salt
ed onion or a thinly-sliced onion. A
chopped green pepper is much liked by
some men, as is also dill pickles and
mustard spread over the meat.
The man who works hard these
days needs what we call protein foods.
OF these, eggs and meat are the best
examples. Ham and cold boiled eggs
mixed together with a little mustard
or salad dressing or thinly sliced dill
pickle-make a very satisfying sand
wich. So does sandwich made Of q
minced hard-boiled egg put together
with slices Of crisp bacon. Cold fried
sausage is also good with brown bread.
With . sandwich, man needs q
relish. II there is room in the lunch
box, include small jar with screw
top containing something that will add
zest to the lunch.
Don't forget that men like sweet
things. Doctors tell Us that chocolate
is as energfzing as alcohol with out the
bad effects of the latter. That is why
it is worth while to make good cake
for the lunch box. Cake Is q real
food as well as desert.
Put up the food daintily. Don't use
pieces or newspaper to wrap the food
in. A large roll Of waxed paper can
be purchased for few cents and win
last long time. A roll Of butter
wraps sre also good. It prevents A.

Lectures and Pruning
Demonstrations

The pruning demonstrations
as they will be conducted by the
Extension Division, Blacksburp,
Virginia, through out the state
this year, promise to be much
more interesting and instructive
than formerly. Instead of simp-
ly giving the pruning demonstra-
ton as has been the practice
heretofore, this year lecture on
the subject of pruning will be
given first and then the demon
stratlon l believe this will be
great improvement on the old
method as it will give those who
attend both lecture and demon
stration a clearer idea of why
this or that branch was removed.
Mr.. F. A. Motz, Extension
Horticultural, will be in Sheu.
andoah County next week and
will give a lecture and pruning
demonstration at Mount Jackson
on Monday, February 14th, and
at Woodstock ON Tuesday, Feb
ruary 18th. The lectures will be
given at 10 a. m, each day and
the pruning demonstration will
follow.
The lecture at Mt. Jackson
will be given in the new school
building, at Woodstock it will be
kisen in the Court House. Every
one who is interested in pruning
should sake An effort to attend
these meetings. =,
