school lunch. Fresh tomato sand wiches, for instance, cannot be pre- pared for serving several hours hence, since they would become sog- gy and unappetizing, but whole to- matoes can be carried to be sliced and added to buttered bread with a dash of salad dressing when eating time arrives. Lettuce may be kept crispy in a damp cloth in a covered jar. The lunch box should contain fresh fruit, especially while it is still abundant, and the child who has not had an egg for breakfast may be provided with excellent nourish- ment by stuffed egg or egg sand wich. A piece of cake or a cookie or two will satisfy the desire for sweets and discourage the child from pa- tronizing the candy store.
 Dinner Suggested
 The school lunch does not fully solve the problem, however, for children returning home at mid afternoon are often ready for some- thing to eat, particularly if he or o1AC A1do AIdu oOlllC uloId11CC JO Wdlh, so glass of milk, some fruit or bread and butter may be provided; i; or, in the case of younger children who go to bed early and who should not eat too heartily at night, it may be wise to serve dinner at this time.
 Parents should watch children's s capacities at this time of year, Miss Nickerson said, since children who have been playing outdoors all sum- mer may be thinner than usual. It is essential, also, to make sure that they take sufficient rest and relaxa- tion as well as enough of the cor rect foods. The simple expedient of stopping play half an hour before meal time and sitting quietly dur ing this time will quite often cor rect this condition. Closer attention to what a child eats at meal time may reveal that he is failing to eat all his nourishing foods in his hurry to resume play.

they Jolly we'll have to, but grown
