Ate it, says he. Give me me hat

now L mus lave We SOW ye'er prepared
oats, L says. An / wint out to Null
hgan's RESTRAINT an wrapped mesiIf
around buckwheat cakes an sausages
TILL tn cook got buckwheat cake
makers paralysis.
Il don't know how people come to
have this mad passion FIR oats. Whin |
was boy they was on'y ct be horses
an good horses rayfused thin. But
somewan discovered that tn more We
did to oats, TIL less they tasted an that
tn less anything tastes, tn betther
food it is FIR tn race. So all over tn
country countless machines is at
wurruk removin tn flavor firm oats
an turnin' thin into breakfas food.
Breakfast food is all we see in tn cars
an on tn bill boards. In tn small
cities it's tn principal sport iv tn
on tn boards to see whin tn MINSTREL
show was comm to town, they now
watch FIR tn announcement iv tn new
breakfast food. Hogan toll me he was
out in Decatur tn other day an they
was eighty-SiVen kinds iV oats on tn
bill iv fare. Is they anything goin'
on in this town?' he asst a drummer
'Nawthin' ontil tn eighth whin Oat-
como opens says tn man. People talk
about breakfast food as they used to
talk about bicycles. They compare an
they thrade. A man with tn 1903
model high gear oats is tn hwy iV tn
neighborhood. All tn saw-mills has
been turned into breakfast food facth-
ries an tn rip saw has took tn place
Nv tn miller.
Does it do amy harm, says ye?
Meier bit. A country that's goin' to
be kilt be food is on it's last legs,
anyhow. Ivry race has its pecool-
yarity. With tn Rooshyans it's Pass
tn tallow candles;' with tn Chinese
a plate iv rice an sharks fin. TIL
German sets down to a breakfast iv
viggytable soup, Hungarian goolash
an beer. TIL Frinchman is satisfied
with a rose in his buttonhole an tin
minyits at tn pianny. An Irishman
gets sthrong on potatoes an an Eng
lishman dilicate on a sound breakfast
iv roast beef ham, mutton pie, eggs,
bacon an 'alf-an-'alf. TIL doctors
bothers us too much about what we
put into that mighty tough oil man
iv-all-wurruk, tn human stomach.
Hiven. stint mos iv us good digistions,
hut tn doctors won't let thin wurruk.
TIL strongest race iv rough-an' -tum-
BILE Americans that liver robbed a
neighbor was raised on pie. I'm FIR pie
mesilf at amy time an at all meals.
If food makes amy difference to peo-
pie how do l know that all our boast
ed prosperity amt based on pie? Says
1, lave well enough alone. 1t may be
that if we sarched FIR tn corner stone
iv American liberty an progress, we'd
find it was apple pie with a piece iv
toasted cheese.
People don't have amy throuple
with their digestions firm atm It's
thinkin' makes dyspepsy; worryin'
about tn rent is twinty times worse
FIR a mans stomach thin plum pud-
din. What's worse still, is worryin
about digestion. Whin a man gets to
dom that, all tn oats between here an
Council Bluffs won't save him."
Joyce tells me his breakfast food
has made. him as sthrong as a horse"
said Mr.. Hennessy.
ut ought to- said Mr.. Dooley. Him
an horse have tn same food"
