INDIVIDUAL DISHES.
Crusty Rolls and Soup
Give An Ideal Start
For the Day.

Don't try to eat heavy meal after
rising 1t is a fearful mistake. Nature
is tired. The system is not in working
order. Lungs, heart, stomach and liver
have leftover tasks to perform, and
until they are performed, good work
should not be expected from the brain,
or that finer nature which, for want of
better name we call soul, says Ia
BILE Talk. Give nature a chance; make
haste slowly; let her see where. she
lis at; tax the machinery of digestion
lightly and by noontime the physical
household will be better able to fight
the battles of life. The French folks
knew what they were about when they
| issued permits for those coffee stands
that literally nail the corners of Paris.
They open before dawn to accommo-
date the market people and day labor
ers, and close about 10 a. M, when the
students, clerks and professional people
| have gone to their respective schools
| and bureaus. The fare consists of rolls
and cafe au lait. Nothing else. Not
even butter.
The artist drinks his bowl of hot cof-
fee weakened with sweet milk, puts
a crusty roll in his pocket, leaves two
sous on the window ledge and walks
| away with a comfortable inside feel
| ing. In the best private houses the
| fare is the same. AS a rule no one
calls for meat breakfast but the reck-
! less American. In every college, pen >
| sion and boarding school, as we'll as in
| the mother schools for young children,
the meal consists of soup-hot and

| On this sort of breakfast the children
not only feel better, but they study
| better and make more Advancement
| than the American students Feed
| French or German university student
| hash, chops, steaks, outlet and veget-
| ables 80 successive mornings, and the
| chances are even that he will need a
coffin for the beginning of the next
| month
In the British Isles, all the world
starts the day with hot tea and Marin
| alades, and toast follows. drilled
| bones, which are considered so dainty
are more saving than anything else.
| The palate Graves salt in the morning
| TO d1sintect, as it were, the alimentary
canal Hence, the taste for ham, ba-
con, mackerel, finanhaddy. etc. Men
like these dishes, but they will also eat
! celery tips, young onions and radishes,
| toast with anchovy paste, shredded
cod, ETC., dishes which cost less time
and money to serve than sailed meats
Ii cup of tea or coffee with a slice
| OF lemon is taken after bathing, bodily
| hehlth will be improved and the desire
for our so-called square meal reduced.
II faut, s the French say, something
! hot to drink early in the morning and
| the earlier the better
| Never eat soft bread for breakfast if
! there is a crust of hard biscuit in the
! house. New bread that often looks
! fluffy and light is like so much lead
when it reaches the stomach And that
IS why half the world is so stupid and
cross in the morning. If fresh bread
must be eaten, put it in the oven or on
| the toasting griddle before serving, and
| give the family the benefit of the car
bon and the teeth something to do.
Breakfast dishes should be served in
| diYidually, when possible One orange
| squeezed in wine glass is a portion:
! one egg boiled or served on a slice of
buttered toast is satisfying one tomato
peeled and sent to the table on a sauce
dish is a real relish; one crusty roll in
vites appetite, and two china pots.
| holding one cup of coffee and the
J other a cup of hot mlk-well, all this
may take little extra time, but it is a
dainty, appetizing, satisfying break
fast and it pays.
In serving grape fruit, cut in halves
and send to table with a spoon; for
those who do not crave acids so early
in the morning, peel and skin the
fruit and tear a fourth in parts
An egg stirred with an ounce of
canned tomatoes and seasoned with
butter and salt is good. 1t is easier to
find First Empire furniture and NanlSin
china of 1916 in private houses than a
cook who-can bake flour.
