Potatoes 



Since as a rule potatoes do not taste good when cold, only 

 two ways of using them are recommended 

 Potato chips, potato salad 

 Fruit 



Oranges, apples, pears, peaches, plums, berries, grapefruit, 

 figs, dates, bananas 

 Eggs 



Boiled, deviled 

 Vegetables 



Tomatoes, baked beans, celery, radishes, onions 

 Desserts 



Cookies, candy, cakes, pies, nuts, doughnuts 

 Relishes 



Horse-radish, mustard pickles, pickled beets, chowder 



If suitable containers are used, the list may be extended to include: 



Puddings, preserves, sauces and canned fruits, milk, fruit 



juices 



If there are facilities for heating foods, the box luncheon may be extended 



to include such foods as 



Cream soups, meat soups, meat stews, cocoa 

 From this list of foods, together with the many combinations that it 



suggests, selections may 

 be made to satisfy all 

 needs. In making a 

 choice, however, careful 

 M thought should be given 



to the age, digestive 

 powers, growth, needs, 

 and activities of the 

 persons for whom the 

 food is selected. While 

 the growing child with 

 immature digestive 

 apparatus has much the 

 same fundamental food 

 needs as has the vigorous 

 outdoor worker, he will 

 not be able to assimilate 

 the same strength or the same amount of food as will such a worker. 

 More attention should be paid to attractiveiu'ss and flavor in the 

 luncheon of the child than in the luncheon of the older, and possibly 

 more vigorous, person.
