dull child may be so simply because
the mother has not taken any thought
to learn what Is good food for her
child.
Our boys as we'll as our girls should
be taught the simple food principles
in the grades. How to prepare simple
foods well and with economy. and not
think it is unbecoming for him to
know these things. Such trained chill
dren are help in preparing their own
lunches. A lunch for child who
spends his time In a warm room
should be of different food from the
one who spends much of his day In
the open. Food should be simple and
limited in variety. Avoid monotony
by changing the filings for the sand
wiches. adding bit of fruit-any-
thing to surprise the child. If he
packs his own lunch, slip in a bit Of
candy, fruit or cake to relieve the
monotony, when he knows just what
he has to eat.
The small paper cups, plates and
even spoons and forks will make a
game of lunch time. they are so at
tractive.

Sandwiches, hot dishes, some simple
dessert and a drink will be sufficient
for an informal occasion.
A few suggestions for open sand
wiches may be helpful.
Cheese Sandwiches.-Butter white
bread. cut into thin slices and then
into rounds. Prepare cream cheese
or crate any rich American cheese
and moisten with mayonnaise. Fill a
pastry tube and pipe on the cheese to
form any desired design. Place a
slice of stuffed olive or raisin or
cherry In the center.
Black Walnut Sandwiches.-These
are prepared with graham bread cut
into rounds. Spread with soft cheese
mixed with coarsely chopped black
walnut meats Serve with rounds of
sliced stuffed olives around the edge
of the sandwich.

APPLE BUTTER
WITHOUT CIDER

Good apple butter is often made
from tart apples without the use Of
cider. Enough water Is added to the
sliced apples to make a thin apple
sauce, which is then cooked very slow
ly over a low fire for three or four
hours. A pound to the gallon of
brown rather than white sugar is add
ed when the. cooking is about two
thirds DONE The amount Of spice and
vanilla to be used is determined by
taste. Stir often.
Several variations of flavor are pos
sible by using other fruit juices. For
instance. pint of grape juice may be
added to each gallon of peeled and
sliced apples. cook into sauce and
strained. Add also one cupful of
brown sugar and one-quarter teaspoon
full of salt. Cook slowly and stir
often for two hours,

And that was all the satisfaction
Minna got out of the SaxOphone.

drying, to keep out dust as well as In
sects. An additional precaution sug-
gested by ent0mologists studying the
insects that attack stored and dried
produces is to sterilize the peaches
or other fruits by heating them for
a snort time In a hot oven. This
shoIld kill any eggs that have been
laid on the fruit, also any living
weevils.
Another method is to fuLligate each
batch of dried fruit with carbon disul-
phide an then store it Immediately
in tight containers. The fumigation is
accomplished by placing the fruit in
a t ;ht container and exposing 1t over
night to the fumes oil the chemical.
One or two ounces of carbon disul-
phide is sufficient - fumigate space
of ten cubic feet The chemical should
be poured out in shallow pan and
placed on top of the fruit. The fumes
of carbon disulphide are infiammable
and fire in any form should be kept
from the room in which it is being
used.

At the ball. being given in the music
shop for Minna who had come to pay
the shop a visit after all the real peo-
pie had gone home, there was much
excitement.
Minna saw how all of them were
noticing that a G Major Scale from
out book of Scales was dancing
with a Miss First Piece-much like
first piece of music she had been
taught to play by her pno5ic teacher.
They had been dancing together,
talking together. and Minna hoped
with all her heart that this was go
ing to be a lovely romance.
All lovely stories, she felt, ended
with weddings and living happily ever
afterward!
The G Major Scale was straight,
simple, direct looking fellow, no airs or
flourishes about him, but there was
certainly something very splendid
about him.
Minna was talking with the SaXo-
phone after a very crazy dance they
had just had when she overheard this
conversation.
1t was all in singing too. 1t went just
like this:
Said C Major Scale to Miss First Piece,
"On piano keys I've taken lease,
So won't you be my darling bride,
Then we can be there side by side?"
Said Miss First Piece to C Major Scale,
"At such thought my family'd quail,
For though really love you truly.
They'd say I was just unruly."
The Saxophone went on with his re-
marks to Minna but she could scarcely
pay any attention. so interested was
she in hearing the singing conversa

HOUSEHOLD HINTS

Home conditions have the greatest
effect in setting the chiId's character.
The home dressmaker will find a
smooth, firm, well-padded ironing
board one of the greatest aids to eff

No real craftsman will tolerate poor
or dull tools: yet many a housewife
struggles along with dull, badly worn,
or stained knives.

II is hardly necessary to point out
that all dried fruits, whether bought
commercially or prepared at home,
should be stored In tight containers
to protect them from insect attack.

dried peaches. apricots, raisins. figs.
