about the cap, of course, was that it
had to be as broken and squashed as

be cracked, and the reed crown shape-

might expend to make her child's
lunch box attractive when the kiddy
comes home from school - and says:
"011, nlummie, my lunch was so g

But the first thought we must h
in making up a lunch box is t

Here are some suggestions for the

1. Two chicken sandwiches; two
chopped figs; a little sponge cake;
pear.
2, Two- brown bread and egg san

4. Two minced ham sandwiches; 2

and French dressing; a square of
gingerbread; a pear; half a doze
marshmallows.
5. Three sandwiches of plain brea

a slice of cold meat and 8 ginge
cookies.
To make the chicken sandwiches til
chicken should be minced or cut i
cubes and mixed with salad dressin
and salt to taste and placed betwee
white bread with a little lettuce if
available. The roast beef is made the
same way. The fig sandwiches ar
made by chopping the figs fine and
wetting with a little cream and plac

foods need not be touched at all if
there is the slightest clanger that
warm weather or careless handling
have ruined thein.
Good honest roast beef is ns satis-

tatoes, or potatoes roasted in the meat
broth, while beef stew or short ribs
with potatoes and gravy rarely cause
trouble. Indeed, beef is far more

Eggs in every form are - always
good, as a very stale egg will not

A diver, while employed one day in

1782, being seized with a sudden fit'

three times in succession that just as
be was about to pick up a curiously-
wrcught silver dish from among a'
mass of debris, a very tall figure,
dressed in a diving suit, sprang at him
and tried to cut the life -line.
As at this time the alter two me
he was working with were both of
short stature, not in the least degree
like the figure in his dreams, he scop
forgot it.

egg sandwiches are made by boiling
an egg hard, mashing it and mixing
with Mayonnaise dressing and a little
salt. 1liinced hani could also be added
to this filling.
The fruit salad is prepared by cut-
ting a seedless orange in half, cross-
wise, and removing the pulp. It will
collie out easier if the orange is first
allowed to stand a Few minutes in hot
water to loosen the si,in. Chop the
pulp and cover with a French dress-

continually for fear the food is not

Making Farm Life.Happy.
The average farmer's barn is much
better equipped with power and other
conveniences than his dwelling. That
is one reason why so many farmers
well on in years are living with their
third or fourth wives.
Farming wears out wives rapidly.
And no wonder, The average tams'
wife has no regular vacation the year
around. Her average working day is
more than ele'ven hours, She does the
cooking, sewing, washing and ironing
for the family. She cultivates the
kitchen garden, cares for the poultrY
and helps with the milking.
The gaeoline engine in the barn
might easily be connected with hou.ses
