For School
Luncheon
An Authority on All Matters Of
Household Management.

MYTH the approaching return
" to school of everybody's
children there arises the
problem OF the school lunch box.
The shops are showing a variety
OF attractive boxes. Some have an
attractive hot-cold bottle of the
three-fourth-pin size.
The hot-cold bottle might con-
tain some cocoa made with good
rich milk. Again while the days
are still warm. II may contain
some nourishing ice cream to be
eaten with a piece of real sponge
cake.
Besides the hot dish, Of course,
the average hungry boy and girl
, wants to find something else. A
roll thickly spread with butter aft
er 1t is cut. and the parts firmly
pressed together should be substi-
tuted frequently for the crustless
sandwich. The crust on tha roll
induces mastication, but also helps
toward good teeth.
The sandwich is one Of the con-
venient ways of serving food In a
lunch box. The bread should be
at least a day old and should be
close-grained. Cut it thin and but
ter 1t before spreading the filling.
Butter contains a growth-producing
element quite necessary TO chi'ds
diet.
Generally speaking, It is better
to mince meat or poultry or fish
before using IT as a filling. 1t
takes but a moment to run that
piece of roast beef through the
food chopper. Ham, being difficult
of digestion. Is not to be highly rec
commended for the school lunch
box.
II used at all, save It for the &C.
casional surprise to be mixed per-
haps with minced egg. The fill
ings to be recommended are cot
tage cheese made from sour milk,
the commercial cream cheese, or
the less rich Neuchatel cheese. A
little finely divided store" cheese
may be used from time to time
as a sandwich filling 1t should
never be served sliced between the
bread, as II Is quite dlf1lcult or
digestion, especially for children.
Avoid condiments and spices in
school lunch boxes A little onion
juice will often give flavor where
it seems lacking. Salt, of course,
is allowable.
A sweet filling of some kind such
as jam or chopped dates or figs
or a fruit paste containing some
ground nut meats are desirable.
Fruit, such as an orange or an
apple, are always acceptable.
Cookies, too, and occasionally a
single piece OF candy afford va
riety and surprise.
The housewife should endeavor
to plan the contents of the lunch
box on paper. II is easier than
the nit-and.rniss way. Waxed paper
as well as paper napkins should
always be on hand.
Try planning better luncheons
for the children who must carry
luncheon to school. You will see
a general all.round Improvement

HOU To Cure
Sciaticu
BY Brice Belden, Nj. d.

~ CIATICA is sometimes an ex-
- ceedingly obstinate affection.
In most cases these is a rheu-
matte tendency. Injury plays a part
sometimes. Then there are the
cases due to chronic intoxica-
ton from govt. alcoholism, dia-
betes. etc. Finally. sciatica is as
ISOLATED at times with relaxation
or chronic Inflammation of the
great joint between the haunch-
bone and the base of the spines
(sacroiliac joint.
But the symptoms, whatever the
cause, are characteristic. Sharp,
shootings pains run down the back
of the thigh. Movement intensifies
the pain. At certain points along
the course of the nerve the pain
and tenderness are more intense.
Tingling and numbness are often
noted. The symptoms are worse
at night and before stormy weather.
The condition may be described
as neuritis involving the sciatic
nerve.
Severe cases have TO be treated

the better the ultimate results.

the acute symptoms have subsidized.
and must then lie mild.
Cream Of tartar in doses OF haIf
teaspoonful three times a day in
plenty or water aids in elimination.
Lemonade may be taken freely,
with but little sugar. Tea and cof-
fee should be given up. Hot water
bags should be placed at the upper
end of the nerve. An other spray
to the sensitive spots also relieves
the pain.
In very obstinate cases, not
amenable to ordinary treatment,
the nerve has to be exposed by the
surgeon and adhesions broken UP.
High heels relieve the pain in
some cases by relaxing tension
along the back Of the thigh.

When we get into the habit of
weighing our own motive and sus-

calculation and scheming, we put
bad ideas into our heads and
