NUT AND DATE SANDWICHES.
Remove the stones from one-half dozen or more dates, cut the dates into small pieces and mix with one-third or one-half the amount of chopped or ground walnuts. Spread on buttered bread or eat the bread with it. Apples combine well with it, either as a substitute for bread or in combination with it. In place of whole nuts, nut-butter may be used; the latter should always be diluted with an equal amount of water.
Figs, raisins or dried currants can be used in the same way as dates. Lettuce and celery are good additions.
TOMATOES WITH POPCORN, BREAD AND BUTTER.
Prepare a salad with tomato and lettuce, or strain some canned tomatoes. The latter can be carried conveniently in a small Mason jar. Always open the jar a little, if left to stand in a store or office, so the air can circulate through it. Take one cup of tomato juice in combination with one-half pint or more of warm, buttered popcorn. Eat bread and butter with it, if desired.
EGG SANDWICHES WITH WATERCRESS, OLIVES.
Slice some hard boiled eggs and lay on buttered bread. Mix some olives and watercress with mayonnaise dressing, and serve with the bread. Egg sandwiches combine well with apples.
GRATED CHEESE, APPLES AND BUTTERED BREAD.
Grate two to four ounces of Swiss or American cheese and carry in a glass jar or paper bag. At lunch-time peel one or two apples, cut them up in small pieces and mix with grated cheese. Eat with buttered bread.
