About ono thousand years ago Sadl wrote; "A man had soro eyes. Ho went to a horse doctor, who applied to IiIb oyes what ho used for his horses. Tho man became blind. Ho took the caso before tho Judge, who said: 'No damages; if this fellow wero not an ass ho would not have gone to a farrier.'

Cracker boxes aro , lined with waxed paper and the boxes themselves mako fine receptacles for dif ferent foods for tho lunch basket. Sand wiches packed in theso boxes keep frosh nnd moist.

Screw-top malted milk bottles aro line for car rying malted milk, cocoa or plain milk. Sandwiches should bo provided for satisfying hunger with a pickle or other relish and a dessert of fruit, cake or tart When preparing sandwiches sot tho butter where it will bo softened by heat, as It spreads much better. Crisply fried bacon put between un buffered bread slices makes a good, wholesome sandwich. Corned or roast beef, choppp-1 as for hash, mixed with chopped onion and mashed potato, is generally liked. Codfish made as for fish balls mado thin, and used ns filling for sand wichos, Is also delicious. Peanut butter or peanuts chopped, mixed with cream' chooso as another good filler, is most tasty. Sweet sandwiches served with a fruit salad and coffee will make a fine lunch. Wo must remember in putting up a child's lunch that it must be some thing nourishing and quick to cat, for ho Is anxious to havo more time to play.
