PICNIC PROVENDER
YOU can't have any picnic
provender without something
to carry it in, even it it’s
nothing but an old shoe box. But
picnics have become bo increas
ingly popular that people have
taken a lot of trouble lately to
invent all sorts ot conveniences
for them. The next step beyond
the shoe box is a basket, and the
next step beyond that is a regular
picnic kit consisting of a small
suitcase fitted with knives, forks
and spoons, plates, salt and pepper
boxes and metal compartments
for food.
The suitcase sounds pretty lux
urious, but picnics have become
luxurious, and now include foods
that are both very hot and very
cold. To keep these at the proper
temperatures modern vacuum
equipment is necessary. There are
nickel food jars in various sizes,
vacuum bottles, and big vacuum
jars for large quantities of hot
food or ice cream. There are even
little aluminum cups with detach
able handles. These are made so
that they will nest into each
other in a compact manner and
occupy little storage space.
* Outdoor Comfort
If there are older people at the
picnic who do not care about
sprawling on the sometimes
lumpy grass, there are folding
chafr« with seats *' g-llv striped
canvas that can be taken-«w,ug
There have been luxurious pic
nickers who even took along an
army cot which could be set up In
a minute, but most people with a
real soul for picnicking prefer to
take their siestas down on the
sweet smelling grass.
It is never a mistake, however.
- ABOUT THE TOMATO

THE following extracts are
quoted from an article en
titled “The Tempting but Tardy
Tomato" by Marguerite Gauger
which appeared in a recent issue
of “L'ygeia" psW’hed by the
American Medical Association.
“The development of the tomato
la this country is due mainly to
the care of tbe plant breeders.
They have improved its form and
flavor, have eliminated the
wrinkles from it, and have re
moved most of the seeds. It now
comes in many sites.
“Praise is alsv due the canners
of this country who are partly
responsible for the increased con
sumption of the tomato. With the
develoymsnt of the lacquered can
nnd the perfecting of factory
methods of canning, there has
come a far gr :tcr use ot the com
mercially c.iuncrt tomato. It is
now tbe tned tely used canned
vegetable In this country. The

to take along a couple of rugs
exactly like the ones you would
use in your steamer chair while
crossing the ocean. These can be
spread out to sit on in the shade,
or folded up to use as a pillow If
you want to lie down.
The Eats
But the eats are the thing,
after all, which make or mar the
pleasure of a picnic. Sandwiches
have always been the backbone of
picnic provender, and, thanks to
canned foods, there are now a
much greater variety of them than
formerly which can be quickly
and easily prepared.
It is a good plan to slice your
bread, wrap it in a damp cloth
to keep it soft, and spread it with
the sandwich fillings after you
have reached the spot where you
are going to eat. There are all
sorts of fillings nowadays con
taining fish, meats, nuts, pickles,
fruits, cheese and vegetables, and
here are some recipes for a few
of them:
Fish and Meat Sandwiches
Salmon and Egg Sandwich:
Chop two hard-cooked eggs, and
add to the minced contents of one
small can of salmon. Add one
tablespoon anchovy paste, one
eighth teaspoon salt, one table
spoon lemon juice and four table
spoons mayonnaise. Spread be
tween thinly sliced buttered white
bread.
Shrimp and Caper Sandwich:
Drain one can of shrimp, and
mince finely. Add. two tablespoons
chopped capers, one-eighth tea
spoon sSlt and five tablespoons
Thousand Island dressing. Spread
It does not contribute to obesity,
and for this reason 1s greatly
prized by all those who would be
thin and yet do not wlch to rob
the body of its vital elements.
Present-day Magellans need have
no fear o* scurvy among the ship’s
crew as long as the supply ot
canned tomatoes holds out.
“From Infancy to old age the
tomato is a good food. It is rich
in mineral salts and vitamins A
and B. It is recognize.! as one
of the most important sources of
vitamin C and it ranks with or
anges and lemons in this respect.
The vitamin C in the tomato is
resistant to heat, a characteristic
■ shared by few other foods, and so
the tomato is equally valuable raw
|or canned. It is our most rer°a
tile vegetable, both as regards fla
vor and contribution to health.
It may be used as a cocktail, hors
d'oeuvre, soup, entrea, or salad, as
a breakfast fruit or just alone.

Tongue and Muthrocna. Sand

can of cooked tongue, and add
one-half cup chopped canned
mushrooms, two tablespoons

tablespoons Thousand Island
dressing. Use between either white

contents of a can of Vienna

layer of them on biead that has
been spread with butter and may

India Relish, or chopped sweet
pickle, and cover with another
slice of bread spread with batter

Don’t Forget the Beans
There are delicious beans now
adays that are baked before they
are canned, and have all the suc
culence and savor of the best
beans you have ever eaten. These
are known as New England brick
oven-baked beans. Only the choic
est quality of ingredients are used
in packing them, including
genuine small white pea beans
and liberal quantities of sugar,
spices and pork.
To process these, the raw beans,
after soaking and parboiling, to
gether with all the other ingre
dients, are put together In large
open pots. These pots are then
placed in large dry-heated brick
ovens, and baked for many hours
with the addition of more sau -e
from time to time. This long, slow
baking process produces a tender
ness and flavor not obtainable by
other methods, and tbe flavor of
the sauce and pork is baked into
the beans.*
