There is so much pleasure to be had
from picnics in these days of motorin :
that it is well worth while to make
the picnic outfit permanent eeuib-
ment that the getting ready for days.
outing will mean little or no strain
Plates, cups, saucers and mugs form
the general outfit. There are those who
in their desire to simplify matters Use
only mugs and large sized sauceks for
plates, but the two sizes will often
pc round great comfort and conven-
fence. The enameled ware lar such .
comes for holding cereals, will be found
size milk cans are useful for cArry-
invaluable for salads and the small
ing cold coffee which has already had
the cream added to it. Starting WITH

equipped lunch baskets wili result
which will add much to the pleasure
of the summer picnic.

FEEDING CHILDREN

The daily meals of school children
must contain all the materials needed
TOR health and for growth. Some of
these can best be supplied by milk,
seine by cereals and some by other
common food materials. Parents and
teachers, therefore, and others who are
responsible for the proper feeding Of
children, must know not only what
their bodies need but something about
the special uses of different foods
Experience has shown that fruits,
fresh Or served in simpler forms (bak-
ed, htewed or raw and simpler sweets
are Better forms Of desert for children
than preserves or rich pastry. Sweets
may Oe given in the form of cake not

ita, maple sugar and loaf sugar and
in many other ways. Highly Favored

because they spoil the appetite for sim.
