Preparation of the School. Luncheon.
Again the children 'are off to school
with a cold lunch, and as this meal is
intended to take the place of dinner,
we must be very careful and par-
ticular that it is as nourishing as it
should be. When we adults eat a light
noon -day meal we find that the pro-
cess of digestion continues, without a
feeling of undernourishment; thisis
especially true , during the winter
months when few of us axe engaged
in hard physical labor. The child's
system is different; it is engaged, not
only in furnishing energy for the
healthy young body, but in building
bones and muscles for the quick de-
velopment of the child's body. A child
of school age is not equipped to store
energy or nourishment. If he over-
eats, the result is a ease of indiges.-
tion and if he does not eat sufficient
amount of nourishing foods, it may
soon be observed in the general weak-
ness and stunted growth of his body.
Do not .get the idea that a child's
luncheon must be of the light frothy
varieties. It should certainly be
packed as daintily as possible, but it
should also be substantial foods. If
you expect your child to be strong
and healthy there are certain essen-
tials which must be put in the lunch
box. One of the foremost of these
is milk. Most ehildren will enjoy a
glass of rich milk at noon, but .fer
those who do not drink milk, tasty
dishes should be prepared that use
milk in the making.
If great care is not taken, the chil-
dren will soon tire of the more nu-
tritious parts of the luncheon. To
prevent this, provide a variety; it is
also• often advisable to almost exclude'
sweets from the school lunch. If a
Child dulls its appetite with sweets
before touehing the rest of the meal,
that child would be better off without
so much sweets. However, some sort
of dessert must be provided, tut ;this
does not imply that half of the meal
must be :dessert. A pleasing and
nourishing sweet for school lunch is
most any one of the various forms of
gelatin puddings that •can be quickly
and easily made at home.
It is not enough that the child's ap-
petite should be satisfied If you
were engaged in making a cake and
sent your little daughter to bring you
a cup of butter, but instead of bring-
ing butter, she would fill the clip with
beans, you would be no better off than
before sending her. So it is with the.
child's appetite. That is Nature's
way of calling for more material with
which to build a bigger and stronger
body and it is not a call for food but
for nourishment to give strength.
I is-" ti advisable to
ask
It some mei dva
your child's teacher to co-operate with
you in regard to . the eating habits.
It is very essential that children
should masticate their food properly.
They should not be allowed to grasp
their lunch and go rushing out to play.
Does your child do these things? His
teacher wi•11 be glad to inform you if
questioned regarding his habits.

"If the fires are at Dale—"
There was a flicker of anxiety in
Mrs. Cameron's eyes.
"They've travelled over forty miles
already," Deirdre said. "And father
says if the wind changes we'll get
them up here for sure. They may
sweep right on, as it is, and miss us.
But he said it would be madness to
try to fight them—with only the three
of us, and if they do come this way
to get down to the pool at once. He
said he'd try to get &ere if the wind
changes."
Once or twice there had been scrub
fires in. the summer, and Mrs. Cam-
eron, with everybody else on the place,
had ' helped to beat out the quickly -
running; forked flames which tried to
make their way across the paddocks
of the clearing to the house and sheds,.
She had carried water for the men

spare, and they had dipped their bags
and branches of green guns leaves
Into the water and slashed, at the
flames in the grass.
"There are beaters and hags by the
barn," she said, "1 cut the beaters
after Davey and his father had gone,
thinking we might want them."
She meant to make a fight for her
home if the fires came that way,
Deirdre realized.
The afternoon wore away slowly..
Mrs. Cameron had few treasures; but
she made a bundle of them—a Bible,
some of Davey's baby clothes, an old-
fashioned gold -rimmed+ brooch with a
mosaic on black stone that Donald
Cameron had ..given her and desired
her to wear with the black silk dress

Deirdre moved restlessly about out

"Are there any animals on the
place, Mrs. Cameron?" she asked, late
in the afternoon.
"Only a` couple of Bows and Lass,"
Mrs. Cameron' replied. "They're in

"Pel run them down," Deirdre said.
