8CHOOL LUNCHES
A housewife who has to put up
three lunches every morning for
three children insists that this is
the very hardest thing about keep-
ing house. It seems to her as if
housework would be a pleasure
were it not for those lunches.
Doubtless the thing that makes
them hardest is that they must be
prepared in the early morning
when there usually is enough to
simply in preparing the break*
fast. To be sure, some house-
wives simplify the task of putting
them up the night before, insist-
ing that if the sandwiches are
wrapped in waxed paper they will
be quite fresh the next day.
Even though you do not act-
ually make the sandwiches the
night before you may very easily
get some of the thing? ready. It
i? well to get into the habit when
you first go down to prepare the
breakfast to taks as much butter
as you think you will need for
the sandwiches and set it out so
that it will be warm enough to
spread easily when you want it.
Bread should be freshly cut, but-
tered and filled at once then wrap-
ped securely in waxed paper.
Egg is Helpful
A wide variety of sandwiches
may be made from egg. One of
the easiest is made by letting the
eggs boil very hard, then peeling
and cutting up fine and then
spreading on buttered slices of
bread. Some people like a fried-
egg sandwich. Egg with mayon-
naise is delicious.
Waxed paper is so inexpensive
that you have little reason not to
be fairly generous with it. It ir.
a good plan to plaee each sand-
wich in a separate piece of waxed
paper and other things, like cake
ana deviled eggs, should likewise
have their individual
each
of waxed paper.

Use Containers
The young business girl,
carries a mid-day snack to
the cost of buying luncheon
restaurant o r cafeteria, usually
wants to have her lunch package
well disguised and as small As
possible. Fortunately most school
children have no such prejudices
and there is no reason why vou
should not provide a lunch box
that is large enough to hold a va-
riety of good things in convenient
containers. To protect the lunch-
eon and to keep the things from
ershing it is a good plan to line
the box or basket with a substan-
tial cotton or linen lunch napkin,
providing a paper napkin or two
every day for actual use. Then
as part of-’ydur packing equipment
you should buy some waxed paper
cups with close fitting pasteboard
tops in which to put soft foods,
such a s fruit, rice pudding o r
Something of the sort. In cold
weather even gelatine preparations
—such as jellied tomato or bouil-
lon or jellied fruit desserts—may
he included in the lunch when
these tightly closed containers are
used.
Without much trouble one may
contrive always to have some ad-
dition to the school luncheon in
the way of a surprise. This may
consist of a few candies wrapped
ieefi of waxed paper, a few
or shelled nuts, a lollypop,
some milk chocolates or evert an
unexpected five cent piece frith a
little note to explain that it. is to
be spent for some specially liked
candy or baker’s cake oh the way
home from school - I
Always if possible the school
luncheon should contain some sort
of fruit—an apple, a banana, an
orange, a pear, a bunch of grapes.
Chocolate Cream
Grate three squares of bitter
chocolate and mix with two cups
of cream, half a cup of sugar,
find the well-beaten yelks oT six
eggs Cook ina double boiler un-
til smooth arm thick, stirring con-
stantly, then add a package of geL

ped solid. Add a few drops of

Mrs. P. B. Chandler
Dies At Arlington,
Was Mother of Mrs.
Naylor ot SVille
Mrs. C.' R. Naylor of this city re-
ceived a message Saturday morn-
ing, September 20, telling her of
the sudden death of her mother,
Mrs. P. B. Chandler, who passed
away1 early that morning in Ar-
lington where she had made her
home since February, 1924.
, The body of the deceased was
shipped to her old home in Gates-
ville for burial in the Masonic
cemetery beside the grave of her
husband, the late Rev. P. B. Chan-
dler, who preceded her in death
on Feb. 14, 1904. Funeral ser-
vices were held Sunday afternoon
at 4 o’clock at the First Baptist
church in that city where her late
husband had served as paftar for
twenty years.
.Mrs. Chandler, whose maiden
name was Susan Adeline Howard,
was born Nov. 29, 1853, at Sena-
tobia, Miss. She came to Texas
with her parents when a young
lady, the family settling in Cory-
ell county. She waft married at
The Grove in that county o n
March 26, 1872, to W. J. Tlppit,
and to that union were born four
children, two of whom • survive.
Her husband died Fab. 11, 1885
and on Nov. 3, 1886 she was mar-
ried to Rev.’ P. B. Chandler of
Gatesville. She was converted .at
the age of 16, uniting with the
the Baptist?church, remaining one
of its most devout members dur-
ing the remainder of her lifetime
The two surviving children are,
Mrs. C. R. Naylor of this city
and Mrs. J. P. Cummings of Dal-
las. Besides the two daughters,
seven grandchildren and four great
grandchildren were left to mourn
the loss of their mother and grand-
mother. *
Mrs. Chandler had spent the
summer here with her daughter,
leaving only two weeks ago to
return to Arlington. She had vis-
ited in this city many times and
was well known to many people
here who had met her during her
visits in the Naylor home. Mr
and Mrs. Naylor and daughters,
Miss Ruth and Miss Lucy Adelia
and Mrs. J. C. Farmer and her
baby son, James, who are also
related to the family, went to
Gatesville Sunday to attend the
funeral which was conducted by
Rev. V. F. Lemons, Baptist min-
ister, of that cit£.
Dr. Thomas Darlington, a sach-
em of Tammany, 72 years o 1 d,
expects to live to be 120.
Here is how: “If people want
to live to be 120, as I plan to
do, they must brush their teeth
seven times a day, wear loose col-
lars or none at all, take air and
sun baths and go to church. They
should not worry. Worry has kill-
ed more men than whisky ever
wfll.” "■

DAIRY PRODUCTS PRICE
ADVANCE IS FORECAST
Washington. — The expectation
that prices for dairy products, in-
cluding butter, will advance mod-
erately during the Autumn butre-
Lmain at a lower level than for
^several years past was expressed
at the Department of Agriculture.
This view was predicted upon a
trend toward expansion in the dai-
ry industry. In a report describ-
ing the dairy outlook the depart-
ment said while the drouth caused
heavy damage to production dur-
ing the past season supplies of
roughage and hay are ample in
the most important dairv sections
and the decrease in Fall produc-
tion Is not expected to be as heavy
as during the Summer months.
