PASSING oF THE BREAKFAST.

Rolls and Coffee Instead-LuncheOn
Takes Its Place.
The American breakfast, so describ-
ed, must go!
The dictum is not mine; it arises
out Of changed conditions of Ameri-
can life, writes Julius Chambers In the
Brooklyn Eagle. What was described
as luncheon" ten years ago has be-
come breakfast and the majority of
men who work with their heads rather
than with their hands begin their day
with coffee and rolls, to which an egg
may be added, in exceptional cases.
That this rapidly growing custom
makes for the better health Of pro-
fessional men is admitted. The laborer
who devours as hearty a meal as his
means will permit before he sets out
for a day on the big pipes will con-
tinue the custom; he will be badly adj
yised If he does not.
One objection to the midday meal
that has already proved a serious OBJ
struction to professional life is q fur
Their shortening of the working day
by one hour or mOre-taken from a
part Of the six or eight hours at a
time when it can be least easily spar
ed. Experiences teaches me that at
tempts to find lawyers. or fnanciers at
their offices between II 80 and 2
o'clock are generally doomed to fail
ure. Clubs for the special accommoda-
ton Of midday conferences, wherein
business can be conducted while food
is served, are increasing in number.
Three square meals day. no long
er has the same meaning as aforetime.
People who can well afford the expense
attaching to three meals will dispense
with "'the Yankee breakfast" Their
luncheon will be more hearty and the
dinner hour, If not already established,
will be set at o'clock.
If the American people are seriously
going In for this sort Of regimen they
would do we'll to study the French.
Taken by and large, no other part Of
the human face has given so much Sc
rious thought to the gentle art Of
treating their stomachs kindly. When
one thinks of good French cooking q
vision Of dlgestible food rises before

Western Newspaper Tries Hard, but
Fails Miserably.
1t Is a very human trait to enjoy
secret, and that Is why there are lodges
and societies, says the st. Louis Globe
Democrat. Secrets do not grow OF
themselves for everybody, and so those
who do not have them invent them and
have grips and passwords. 1t promotes
a thoroughly enjoyable feeling of guilt,
especially. as envious outsiders are al
ways guessing at the secrets and what
the lodges are for.
But the person who has studied his
Poe and his Conan Doyle need never be
at a loss to read these alleged riddles
Induction, or deduction, analysis or
synthesis, according to his habits Of
mind or his idea Of what words mean,
will enable him to resolve the most
cryptic things.
Just for instance: Taere Is the Ia
dies lodge called the P E. o. No mem
Der OF the lodge will tell what the mys-
tic letters mean and from the capitali-
zation and punctuation the superficial
observer Is led to believe that they are
initials or words and vainly speculate
in that direction. But the mind trained
in psychological research"-we wish
we knew entirely what that means
will proceed to consider P. e. o. in
this WISE
1t is the feminine nature to deceive.
Therefore P. e. o. in its beginning will
not represent what it appears to repre-
sent. It can then be only "Peo.@"
That is the first half Of people" 1t is
the men who are the "ple." With the
men 'ple," pronounced 81" we the peo-
pie say the P. p. Os. We are the first
and greater half. The men are simply
'l'-which we all agree.
Now we have the Yellow Piners, a
society Of men Of which the local lodge
recently gave a function in Glen Echo.
Resolving Yellow Piners into its con-
stituents (the masculine mind Is less
subtle than the femlnine), we have
yellow" (signifying jealousy, envy and
old age) and 'piners," those who pine.
Thus we comprehend that the P. e. o.
lacks the 'ple" and the Yellow Piners
are anxious to be the "ple." In the
interest Of humanity we suggest that
the P. e. o. and Yellow Piners amalga-
mate and join themselves to the Hoo

Latest ..Nature Fakir" story.

The principal Of a grammar school
at Springfield, Mass, who has followed
with interest Dr.. William J. Longs
controversy with President Roosevelt,
feels that he has a grievance against
the doctor. The grammar school prin-
cipal heard DR.. Long relate an enter
tanning frog story in which the doctor
said that he presumed upon the friend
ship Of a frog with which he had be-
come acquainted to the extent Of Of
fering the frog a small piece of to-
bacco. The frog swallowed the tobacco
and then began to scartch It's head re-
1ectively. Apparently the head-scratch-
ing process evolved an idea, for before
the doctors astonished eyes the frog
literally turned its stomach inside out,
washed it and swallowed it.
The grammar school principal was so
Impressed with the cleverness Of the
performance that he decided to procure
a few frogs and give a demonstration
to a score of pupils whom he strongly
suspected had the cigarette habit. He
obtained a dozen frogs and domesti-
Gated them so that each would eat to-
bacco In limited quantities, but not one
Of the frogs turned It's stomach inside
out for the principals ediication. "Drat
them! They seemed to like the stuff"
says the school principal. The cause
Of scientific instruction relative to the
injurious effects Of narcotics received
another setback the same day when
the principal, after dwelling upon the
evils Of tobacco, looked inquiringly into
the face Of the worst offender in the
school whose unfinching response was,

the mental vision. Some Of the dishes
may not have our appreciation, but
that is oftenest due to our extreme
ignorance. What possible conception,
for example, could a Massachusetts
housewife have of a dainty breakfast
with the fork" who will set before her
family Or her guests an early meal coz
sisting of four kinds of pie, chops, po-
tatOes with cream, crullers, apple but
ter, coffee in pint cups and three kinds
of hot wheat and corn breads?
On Sunday morning the New Eng
lander gorges himself upon baked beans
"a palatable dish If properly prepared;
otherwise one that ought to have been
fed to the Minotaur.
Go with me any Sabbath morning
into the poorer sections Of Boston and
watch the professions from the bake
houses to the Puritan homes of the
"slavey'' of the family-whether that
office be filled by the father, mother
or oldest daughter bearing the New
England Sunday breakfast to the do
nestle table. Observe the smoke-be-
grimed bean pot. 1t is half as large
as the water jars that the polyga-
nous wives of the Nile valley are seen
carrying homeward to their masters.
In many cases the beans therein will
be six days old" before they are con-
sumed. Age ripens the fruit Of the
bean pot as well as the product of the
vine.
If we eat less at home in the early
mornings we must perforce eat more
heartily at luncheon. Nature abhors
a vacuum. The keeper of the feeding
shop charge us more than he used to
do, because nobody comes to early
breakfast and nobody stays to din
ner.
Try the coffee and cold roll when
you get up for a week and see how It
treats you.

Acting on an article that l read last

and ten inches through, split it, made
all edges straight, mortised three
cross pieces In to hold the split log
on edge, just as shown in the illustra-

board on it to stand on, and the drag
was finished. 1t took me half day
to make 1t without any expense what
ever. l attached a chain and put
the clevis in a link that made the drag
pull at an angle. do not always want
it at the same angle, as when moving

angle than when just smoothing the
roads. 1 can change the angle some
by my weight on the drag while driv

making a back furrow, beginning al
most at the Travelled track. l put on
three horses and found it pulled them
hard enough, because the drag was
has not seen the drag work would be
surprised to know how much dirt one
man can move. l have seen three men
and eight horses and a grader costing
$500 not moving any more dirt than
l can with one team and a drag that
cost one-half days work. I worked
half q day on a half mile Of road and
laid 1t in pretty good condition.
then used the drag whenever it was
rought and rutty. l can go over it
once in thirty minutes and once is
usually enough.
When the road is once shaped up it
can be smoothed over after a rain be-
fore any work can be done In the field
and not a minutes time is lost SO far
as farming is concerned, as the water
all runs off and the road dries quickly.
1 find that most people have the i'm
preston that the drag should not be
used Immediately after a rain. My
experience is that 1t is best used soon
after a rain while the road is sloppy,
or wait until the top is dried, because
stiff mud will not slip from the drag
and makes it pull harder. 1t does
not make very much of a load for two
horses after a road is once in shape.
A fall Of snow can be dragged out of
the road just as easily as the dirt
can be thrown to the middle so that the
road does not become very muddy at
any time.
I have not actually spent as much
time keeping the road smooth as it
would take to work out my poll tax
and have done it all when 1 could not
work In the field. 1 also find the drag
useful on the farm. It is a good
thing with which to drag down gopher
hills In the alfalfa fields and it is
just as cute in leveling a field for irri-
gation-much better than a harrow in
either case. believe If should make

In two. It would be easier made and
