Lunch Box Meals
Should Contain
Adequate Calories
Keep a supply of cookies on
hand because they’re so easy to
wrap and slip in the lunch box
with fresh fruit. Drop cookies with
fruit and nuts are excellent from
a nutritional standpoint.
School Days
School days, school days . . . they
should be golden rule days for
mothers as well
as children. It’s
a well proved
fact by now that
unless the young
ster has a good
lunch to nourish
and satisfy him,
the grades are
apt to go down
ward.
Most mothers
wouldn’t hear of the youngster eat
ing a slim sandwich and a coke if
they were eating at home, but
many of them ignore such eating
habits away from home. Each
child, who eats out near school,
should be thoroughly coached in the
selection of his food.
If lunch is brought from home,
the mother has an accurate check
on her child’s food. She will be able
to tell whether the child eats his
food or not by his general behaviour
and physical condition.
Now, what are the requirements
of a good noonday meal? They are
a third of the day’s calories and
a third, if possible, of the fruit, vege
tables, meat or substitute, bread
and milk required for good health.

and marmalade. Lastly fold in egg
and milk. Bake in a well greased
bread tin (let mixture stand in tin
10 minutes before baking) then use
a moderate (350 degree) oven for
3 4 to 1 hour.
If sandwiches are the mainstay
of the box lunch, they should be
just as interest
ing as it is pos
sible to make
them. Have the
bread moistly
fresh, use soft
ened butter, or a
flavored butter
(like chili or
mustard butter), have the filling well
seasoned and not too dry. If using
lettuce, have it washed well and
very carefully dried. You’ll like
some of these ideas:
Chili butter: soften V* cup but

spoon chili sauce.
Mustard butter: mix Vi cup but

A good idea for the mother who
must prepare daily lunches is to
have a shelf with all lunch-making
equipment assembled, plus a cor
ner in the refrigerator to take care
of the perishables. This makes
speed and efficiency possible.
A variety of breads is essential
if lunches are to stimulate interest
in eating from day to day. You can
purchase white, whole wheat and
rye bread, but it’s smart to make
specialty breads occasionally.

For cooler days, make sure
there’s a nice hot drink to go with

Provisions of Terminal Pay
Veterans’ Service bureau today
contains the answers to countless
inquiries which have come to our
Washington office concerning pro
visions of the new terminal pay law
for enlisted men, recently signed
by the President. Official title to the
act is the armed forces leave act
of 1946, which, by the way, is the
first major revision of armed forces
leave policies in 70 years, since the
basic law respecting army and
navy officers’ leaves dates from
1874, with an amendment in 1876.
Here’s what the act does: Overall,
it gives to about 15 million former
army, navy, marine and coast
guard members an estimated 2.7
billion dollars in cash and interest
bearing five-year bonds.
Essentially the act gives officers
and enlisted men and women of all
services identical leave rights and
limits the amount of leave which
any individual may accrue to 60
days, instead of the maximum of
120 days for officers as heretofore.
Men still in active service who
have accumulated from 61 to 120
days leave as of September 1, 1946,
will be reimbursed in cash and
bonds for the balance over 60 days,
and on September 1 will have to
their credit 60 days leave. As more
leave time accrues to these per
sons, they must take their leave
or lose credit for it.
All veterans who already have
left the service will be paid in cash
and bonds for accumulated leave
not taken up to 120 days between
September 8, 1939, and September
1, 1946. The treasury, the army and
the navy have outlined the fol
lowing steps to be taken by veterans
in applying for their payments:
1. Obtain from any post office in
the country a form entitled, “Claim
for Settlement Unused Leave” and
the instruction sheet which goes
with it.
2. Fill out this form, following the
instruction sheet. If assistance is
desired it may be obtained at any
of the 3,000 - odd veterans’ com
munity information or advisory cen
ters throughout the nation, or at the
office of any state or county vet
erans’ service officer.
3. Swear to or affirm the state
ments made in the form before a
notary public or other civil offi
cer authorized to administer oaths.
The majority of the community in
formation cr advisory centers will
provide this notarial service free of
charge.
4. Mail the completed form, to
gether with your discharge certifi
cate, or certification of service for
each period of service covered in
the claim, to the appropriate army,
navy, marine corps or coafet guard
paying officer listed on the reverse
side of the claim form. Your dis
charge certificate may be the orig
inal, a photostatic copy, or a certi
fied copy. If the original discharge
certificate has been lost or de
stroyed, a certificate in lieu of dis
charge, which will be considered as
valid evidence for payment, will be
issued on application to the ap
propriate one of the following
agencies: For army—the Adjutant
General’s office, 4300 Goodfellow
Blvd., St. Louis 20, Mo.; for navy
—Chief of Naval Personnel, Navy
department, Washington 25, D. C.;
for marine corps — Headquarters
U. S. Marine Corps, Washington, 25,
D. C.; for coast guard—Comman
dant of the Coast Guard, Washing
ton 25, D. C.
Ir case of veterans from the
army, a form for which to apply
for a certificate may be obtained
at any recruiting office. It is a good
idea to have at least one photostatic
copy of your original discharge cer
tificate made for your own files.
5. Upon receipt of the claim and
supporting papers, the paying of
ficer will examine all documents to
make certain they are in proper
form for payment, and after the
supporting papers, the paying of-
their purpose, they will be mailed
back to you. Payment will be made
as soon as possible, possibly by
October 1. But do not write or call
in person to paying officers in
quiring about your claim. It will
only delay speedy settlement of
claims.
6. If the amount of the claim is
less than $50, or if the claimant was
last separated from active service
before January 1, 1943, payment
will be made in full by treasury
check. For claims over $50 pay
ment will be in bonds in multi
ples of $25, with a check for the
balance. For instance, if the leave
claim is for $219, the veteran will
get $200 in $25 bonds and a check
for $19. In cases where veterans
have died, or in cuses where they
have been adjudged incompetent,
payment will be made fully by
check to survivors.

Attractive Coats May Be Made
At Home with Simple Patterns
TF YOU’RE considering the pur-
chase of a coat for this season,
you’ll soon realize that the outlay
for the coat represents the largest
single outlay for one item in the
clothes budget.
Contrary to what people think, a
coat is no harder to make at nome
than a dress. Working with woolen
material is a pleasure provided
they are not too heavy to run through
the machine easily, and you will
have a real sense of accomplishment
if you can make your own coat.
Before you select the material,
choose a pattern. Look them over
closely as coats may be very sim
ilar in style, but some are harder
to make than others. Select the pat
tern with easy construction. After
the pattern has been chosen, follow
the guide for material so you will
have an appropriate fabric for the
style. A dressy coat style will not
look good in a plaid, etc.
Just a word about the size to
choose. If you wear a size 14 dress,
then that is your coat size. Pat
tern makers always try on the fin
ished garment with a dress, so
you needn’t worry that it will be
too tight when worn with a dress.
If you want a coat to wear with
your suits, select a loose, sporty
type, one with full sleeves and full
back, so that it will fit well over a
suit which is naturally more bulky
than a sheer dress.
Tips Given for
Easy Sewing
A large table is one of the best
assets which a home seamstress
can have. Select a table without
cracks or buckling as it will enable
you to lay the fabric smooth, and
simplify cutting.
If you have a dress form, this,
too, will make fitting easier. Have
a good pair of sharp shears (this
is especially important when cutting
on wool, as the fabric offers less
resistance than cottons, rayons or
combinations of those two), and
a full length mirror right in the
room where you sew.
You, who have an old coat no
longer wearable, may find that the
lining or interlining in that coat is

still in good condition. Having this
already made, with only a little
fitting necessary to place it in the
new coat, will save lots of time and
work. Remove the lining carefully
and hang aside until ready to use.
Be sure to brush off any stray
threads.
Adjust the pattern to yourself be
fore cutting out the coat as this will
save many hours of fitting and re
cutting and sewing. Make sure the
sleeves and length of the coat are
proper for you.
A good rule to follow is to pin be
fore basting and fit before sewing.
Once bastea the coat will look on
you as it would when the final sew
ing is completed. How much better
it is to make alterations without
having to rip out fine machine

them at the shoulder. Any gather

When you fit the coat for sleeves,

how they fit. This is all done after
basting so adjustments can be made
easily.
Pockets are not hard to make on
a woolen coat and they add a lot
of flair to the sporty models. You
may choose a patch pocket, a welt
pocket, a patch pocket with a flap,
or a bound pocket. Make the pock
ets only after the coat is put to
gether, except for the lining, as it
will be necessary to pin them at the
right height to have them look well.
Bound buttons and button holes
add a great deal of style to the
coat. The bound buttonholes are
easy to make in a woolen, but you
may have a tailor make them for
you if necessary. The same goes for
the bound buttons.
How to Line
Coat Properly
Most coats have a lining through
out, including the sleeves, as this
is essential for winter warmth. A
lining also helps a coat to slip on
and off easily, so select a glossy
material which will slide easily. A
darker lining will not soil as easily
as a light one, so select material
that is a darker shade than your
coat, but have the color the same
basic one as your coat.
Using the coat pattern, cut the
lining for the coat. You’ll notice
that in many coats there is an extra
pleat in the back. The fabric is fold
ed before cutting. The pleat gives
extra room in the back without
making the coat bulky.
Stitch the lining like a dress, and
press seams open. Join the sleeves
last.
A good way to insert the lining
properly is to place the unlined
coat, inside out—on your model fig
ure, then pin and baste the lining
to that. Wear the coat after lining
is basted to make sure you have
enough room, etc.
Bits and Pieces
If you make cretonne slipcov
ers, save all the odd bits of ma
terial and use them for making
shopping bags, sewing bags,
shoe bags and clothespin hold
ers.
Make water-resistant aprons
from old oilcloth. They are handy
when washing dishes.
Old damask tablecloths are ex
cellent when dyed and recut into
dirndl skirts. They can also be
used for attractive but simple
place mats or extra napkins.
Worn-out pillow cases are very
good for covering clothes that
are put away for storage. It
prevents dust from accumulat
ing on the shoulders of gar
ments where they’re most sus
ceptible.
Fashion Forecast
Colors that continue to be seen as
definite possibilities for the season
are grays and off-whites. These are
often accented with muted white or
rich, bright jewel tones.
Everything about the fall costume
has the. slim look except sleeves,
which are definitely full. Sleeves
will drape and balloon. The melon
and leg of mutton sleeves are very
popular.
Slim waistlines and dropped
hemlines are high fashion news, as
is skirt draping. With short sleeves
*and sleeveless dresses, the gloves
worn are short length ones.
You’ll remember World War I
when you look at some of the new
skirts. There are slim tubular ones
and others with the draped panier
so popular then, and incidentally,
now.

It Seems Bathing Wasn’t
So Popular in Early Days
Through the years personal hy
giene has come a long way.
Especially from the days when
Peter, the Hermit, thanked God
that water had not touched his
body for more than forty years,
and Queen Isabella of Spain boast
ed of having taken only two baths
in her entire lifetime.
In 1842 in Massachusetts, any
one who wished to bathe more
than once a week had to have a
doctor’s certificate certifying he
needed it and could stand it.
Titanic Relief
When the British liner Titanic
sank in 1912, so much money was
contributed to a fund for the relief
of the dependents of the 1,517 vic
tims that, although still paying out
a total of $58,000 a year to 167 per
sons, it is expected to last until
1987.
Philadelphia once had a law, in
force for many years, forbidding
bathing of any sort between No
vember 1 and March 15.

Foster D. Snell, Inc, well-known consult

with a group of men and women suffering
from Athlete’s Foot. These people were
told to use So retone. At the end of only a
ten-day test period, their feet were exam
ined in two ways: 1. Scrapings were taken
from the feet and examined by the bacteri
ologist. 2. Each subject was examined by a
physician. We quote from the report:
"After the use of Soretone according to
the directious on the label for a period
of only ten days, 80.6% of the cases
showed clinical improvement of an infec
tion which is most stubborn to control"
Improvements were shown in the symp
toms of Athlete’s Foot—the itching, burn
ing, redness, etc The report says:
"In our opinion Soretone is of very def
inite benefit in the treatment of this
disease, which is commonly known as
