Apple Surprises For
 School DayL Luncheons
Full of Health and Flavor, Native Apples Are Ideal
 Fruit for Children

The younger generation isn't thinking so much about what its coming to these days as what it's going to--and that means school. Teachers job is to sandwich in the three "R's" between Christmas va cation daydreams, and Mother must sandwich in the school day lunch enough surprises to keep young ap- petites interested, what with the memory of the Thanksgiving turkey and "trimmin's" still fresh in mind and the coming event of another holiday feast. already "forecasting" the shadow of fine, fat bird on the family dinner table.
 Some of the rules of school lunch cons are the same-whether your children come home to lunch or are packed of" in the morning with lunch box and books. For health they should have milk in some form, fresh or cooked fruit and bread or it's equivalent.
 Righ now, with native apples in season, the fruit question is no problem to us who live right here in Connecticut where the finest ap- ples in the world are grown. Our own quality fruit is the most eco- nomical for us to buy. Keep a gen. erous supply of eating apples-keep them in the refrigerator to retain all that flavor and crispness that makes the fruit an all-age favorite; and encourage the youngsters to eat all they want. Apples are 8 carbo- hydrate food containing vitam1ns A and c and are high in calcium and iron, those valuable mineral salts. Teach the children not to peel ap- ples-the skin provides "roughage" and has a mild laxative effect as well.

 An apple in the corner of the lunch box is equally traditional, but try apple butter sandwiches or meat sandwiches popped up" with apple ginger marmalade to win the youngsters favor. Here is an easy recipe for a relish that you can make now while apples are so plen- tiful and economical in local mar kets and have a supply on your pantry shelves for-well, as long as it lasts!

How To Improve Fried Oysters

Now and then we hear someone say, How I love fried oysters !. . but they always give me indiges- tion." This simple method of pre- pairing them should be remembered and passed on to suffering ones:
 Prepare fine cracker crumbs or cracker dust and put 1t in bowl with salt and pepper and a speck of sugar for seasoning. For a pound of crumbs, add one teaspoon of baking powder and mix well. Drain fresh oysters of their liquor and to the juice add one egg yolk. Beat well, dip the oysters in this mixture, then in crumbs, again in the egg mixture and in crumbs, batting the blanket" well. Drop in hot fat and fry until 8 golden brown, turning

 And here's a regular party treat" that can go to school all wrapped up in waxed paper, or be served at home if you wish-Stuffed Apples. If the apples are to go into the lunch box, cut generous slice of the stem end and save to use as a "lid," securing with one or two toothpicks. Use rosy McIntoshes or Cortlands, (the Cortland is that wonder apple that never discolors after having been cut up). Scoop out enough pulp to make generous size, cup. Mix the removed pulp with diced orange and pineapple and stuff the apple cup. Pack a little wooden ice cream spoon to eat the "stuffing."

 You will find that neat lid rack for the covers of your vari- ous pots and pans will prove most convenient if attached some place near your stove. This will save many steps back to the pan closet when you are doing your cooking.
 Cleaning silver and other metal objects around the house can be made very easy with a rag or cloth that may be bought in any and 10 cent store. It brightens up the metal without the use of any paste, powder or liquid polish. Simply rub it over the object and 1t shines like new.
 There's also the handiest little egg-shaped sitter for sprinkling flour, sugar, cracker crumbs, cheese or salt. Unless you press the spring handle together with, definite in- tent to dust the contents over food. not a speck will sift out when 1t isn't wanted. It's a very decorative little article that can be carried anywhere without spilling, and will always work, not a chance to clog.
 You will find it a great con- venience to keep on hand one or two extra electric light cords with sockets in case you want to place theh toaster or electric grill in some remote spot where there isn't @ wall outlet. These cords. complete with socket, can be found now at the ten cent store, as well as at the electricians.
 For the second vegetable with sweet potatoes we'll not want squash which is too similar in texture and color: neither would the mashed Yellow turnip seem the perfect 1 choice. With sweet potato souffle or glazed sweet potatoes, 1t would be good to have either broccoli. cauiiflower or Brussels sprouts with Hollandaise sauce.
