The Breakfast Food Family.

John Spratt will eat no fat.
Nor will he touch the lean.
He scorns to eat of any meat
He lives upon Foodine.
But Mrs. Spratt will none of that;
Foodine she cannot eat.
Her special wish is for dish
Of Expurgated Wheat.
To William Spratt that food is fiat
On which his master dotes.
His favorite .feed-his special need
Is Ea,a Heapa Oats.
But sister Lii can't see how Will
Can touch such tasteless food.
As breakfast fare it can't compare,
She says. with Shrdoed Wood.
Now none of these Leander please;
He feeds upon Bath Mitts;
While sister Jane improves her brair
With Cerro- Grapo.Grits.
Lycurgus votes for Fathers Oats;
Proggine appeals to May;
The Junior John subslsts upon
Uneeda Bayla Hay.
Corrected Wheat for little Pete;
Flaked Pine for Dot, while "Bub."
The infant Spratt, is waxing fat
On Battle Creek Near-Grub.
