The well-planned lunch for any type of worker should have: (1) sand- wiches (2) something succulent or tasty (3) something sweet (4) some- thing liquid. SANDWICH MAKING. First have a sharp knife. Besides this, it is necessary to have bread twenty-four hours old if it is to cut •well: Cut slices evenly and neatly, varying the thickness according to , the vigor and appetite of those who are to eat the sandwiches. One-fourth of an inch is a good standard but hearty boys and .men usually like them thicker. Leave crusts On except for special occasions. Spread both slices evenly with softened, not melt- ed, butter. When peanut butter is used for filling, it is better to butter one slice. Variety in shapes can be used to distinguish between different kinds of SOMETHING SUCCULENT. This group sometimes overlaps both the sandwich filling and the sweets. Any whole fresh fruits whole or the same sliced and sweetened or stewed or baked. Bananas packed carelessly will "smell up" and spoil a good lunch. Lettuce, tomatoes, radishes, celery. Salad of any kind, potato chips, cheese straws, hard cooked eggs plain (re- move shell at home) or stuffed. Wrap each in a wisp of paper, twisting both ends.
