About the House
SUIT SCHOOL LUNCH TO THE
WEATHER.
When my children first went to
school we were living in town and
they were • dismissed at 11.30 and
came home for dinner. How they
used to rush into the kitchen "hungry
as bears," wash and comb, and be all
ready when their father arrived.
When we came to the farm to live,
school was too far away, so I packed
their lunches.. At first they liked
staying at school during the noon
boor.
But with the season for coats and
caps and mittens, the cold lunches lost
their popularity, A cold lunch may be
very nourishing, but it is not satisfy-
ing in cold weather,' and the children
really need something warm.

Every day that winter the children
had something to warm in their school
lunch. On mild ways and cold days,
in sunny weather and stormy weather,'
when there was a path to follow and
when they had to break their own, the
children went to school. They were
not sick once and never missed a day.
Just how much the warm lunch had
to do with it I cannot say, but I be-
lieve it helped and they never went
unwillingly to school. And when their

POTS THAT WON'T BOIL OVER.
To prevent foods from boiling over,

safely leave the food to boil without

when boiling candies or preserves.
The moment the rine of grease is
reached, the boiling -over tendency is
