GOING WITHOUT BREAKFAST
ny Alice Il. whitaker.

Whoever insists on the universal adop-
ton of any special plan of dieting or eat
ing should remember that there are many
natural differences In digestive organs
and in what they can endure. Age, tenn
permanent and employment also influence
what the system Graves and what 1t can
take care Of The appetite OF age, or
even middle life, Is not always a proper
guide in providing food for growing child
ron or young people hard at work some
times health Is ruined tE following n
diet untitled for the Individual.
Tho habit of going without breakfast
may work we'll for one person and be the
cause of illness in another. Many women
cannot work, or even walk about moro
than Is or 20 minutes after rising without
n feeling of exhaustion ! have in mind
a large, stout woman of 20 years who
eats no breakfast and in her case II IL
plain that two meals are sufficient. With
the usual intolerance of food faddis.s,
she makes life miserable for young
woman OF spare. lean physique and merry

become victim OF tuberculosis This
younger Voman finds that to eat n small
amount five times a day will keep her
| strong enough to attend to her duties
while any attempt to omit the morning
meal eXhausts her to the point of III
ness.
The no-breakfast plan Is a cruel one
for children, invalids and workers; I,
may answer for those who have reserve

cope with large meals taken after LONG
, hours Of fasting. or those who do moth

Trade and industry are stu In cond-

LAYS DIVORCE EVIL TO
WIFEY'S POOR BREAD.

Atlantic city, " j.. July l6.-Good
bread would solve the American di'
vorce problem. according To Dr II NJ
Wiley, head Of the national pure food
commission. who addressed tho Ameri-
can Biscuit Bakers association at thei,
annual convention here Yesterday.
"Give the American man good bread
and you will make him partisan OF
the home and flrcside." said the emil
nent originator of the Poison squad"
IF the bakers make good bread and
then educate tho people 10 buy their
wares" he added. the great destroyer
of domestic felicity, dyspepsia, Will be
removed and we will hear no more OF
tho divorce problem.
"Wifey's bread has been moro the
enemy of domestic felicity than any
other ono thing, and when this cause
is removed we will find a good mita-
tion of the Elysium in our kitchens.
The trouble has been that lots of the
bread In this country isn't III TO cat.
don't know whether YOU fellows made
It or not but I'm going to be frank
with YOU and say that somebody's IN
the wrong somewhere and they'd bet
ter look out.
There's too much chcmicalized hour
being used. don't see any reason
why the color nature gave to nour Is
Questionable"
The pure food commissioner de-
clared that the bleaching process ny
which much of the iour Is treated is
detrimental to the wholesomeness or
bread.
