COOKING BREAKFAST CEREALS.

They Contain the Esscntial Elements
for Perfect Nourish ment.
- Cereals and fruits SHOULD form the
base ofpbreakfast foods. They willsup-
port muscular action, preserve the
heat Of The body and strengthen the
brain in it's nervous activity. Whole or
steel-cut oats,f and. whole wheat, from
which our nineteenth century bread
should be made, contain the essential
clements for the perfect nourishment!of
the human body, The great objection
to cereal foods is the difficulty of d.
gestion, not from any fault'of the foods,
butyfirst from lack of. time in, cooking,
and second from lack of proper masti-
cation. Raw starches are indigestible.
The first step, then, toward the. diges-
ton of starches is over the fire. Each
little cell must be ruptured, and for
this, long and careful cooking is re-
quired. The second step to the digestion
of starches is inxthe mouth They are
there converted from insoluble
starch to soluble sugar. If they
are swallowed -, quickly, without
mastication,, they miss this digestion,
entering the stomach as, strangers.
This organ not being prepared to re-
ceive them, they are cast out INTO the
small intestines, to be entirely. instead
of partly, digested. This organ, now
to do, in addition to its own
duties, the work of the mouth, soon be-
comes overtaxed, and we have, as
result, the disease most common in this
country-intestinal indigestion.

heads the list. Any of the wheat germ
are good. After these
come the rolled wheat and barley, and

ever, must be thoroughly cooked and

Era of the Hungry Girl.

''The hungry girl is considered the
genuine article in Washington now
adays," said the proprietor of a we'll
known restaurant to Post reporter.
1.-THE era of the young woman who
when accompanied by her man friend
only nibbled daintily at the food set be-
fore her in a restaurant has passed, so
far as this town is concerned at any
rate. She doesn't consider it necessary
when her young man is along with her
to just peck skimpily at salad or some
thing like that to show him what a
spirituelle, aesthetic nature she possess
es. We used to get hordes of girls like
that-girls that you could tell by their
general expression were nothing short
Of ravenous for good, square meal,
but who, in conformity with the as-
thetic idea, would only make little
dabs and pokes at the stuff their escorts
ordered for them and then probably 60
home and consume all the cold stuff
they could rake out Of the refrigerator.
1.-THE average girl that comes in here
now, however, eats just about as much
again as the male person along with
her. She tells the man frankly that
she's starved and that she wants solids
and whole lot of them, and she goes
at the dishes set before her like hired
man after hard day of harvesting.
I've got any number of young women
customers who make nothing of getting
away with bakers dozen of big fried
oysters at a sitting. and there are not
many men who do that. A very dainty
looking, slender young woman came in
here yesterday, her beau along with her,
and she used up five good sized lamb
chops with trimmings in fashion that
was delightful to see. A healthy, nor
NAL man likes to see q woman eat
heartily"
