THE FARMERS' MONTHLY, OCTOBER, 1928 



THE SCHOOL LUNCH 



Pa warms the milk for the little calf 



Ma heats the food for the chicks. 

 They have a hot dinner at noon-time, too. 



But my lunch is as cold as bricks. 



The mother who must pack or superin- 

 tend the packing of lunch boxes for the 

 children in her family, knows that this is 

 the most difficult meal to plan for. The 

 lunch should always be considered in rela- 

 tion to the other meals of the day. The 

 child who must carry his lunch should 

 take time to eat a warm nourishing break- 

 fast and his supper should be planned to 

 balance the other two meals of the day. 

 The child is fortunate if some hot dish as 

 a milk .soup or cocoa to supplement what 

 he brings from home is provided at school. 



The lunch box should contain: 



1. Foods to build, such as milk, eggs,

 mote health, such as milk, toma- 

 toes, cabbage, carrots, spinach,

"Talk health, the dreary never-ending tale 



Of mortal maladies is worn and stale. 

 You cannot charm, or interest, or plea.se 

 By harping on that minor chord; dis- 

 ease. 

 "Talk happiness; the world is sad enough 

 Without your woes. No path is wholly 

 rough ; 

 Look for the places that are smooth and 

 clear. 

 And speak of those to rest the weary 

 ear."
