THE EATING QUESTION.

n writer in n southern paper In
view OF the prevailing high prices OF
things to eat advises the elimination
Of breakfast urging that the average
man eats too mucn any way. and that
after light hours OF sleep breakfast
Is practically useless.
If prices continue to climb as in
tIc past five years, the chances are
that not only breakfast but several
other meals will have to be cut ONT
The fad of going breakfastless gain
ed headway several years ago. and
lot of folks just because it was q
rad adopted it, but the average man
and woman right in their heads and
interior departments demand break
fast Just the same as any other meal
After eight or nine hours of good
healthful sleep, during which diges-
ton has transferred the major part
OF the nutriment from the food taken
during the previous day, some nice
fresh plucked eggs, toast, a good cup
OF coffee, breakfast bacon with fruit
to Uesin with, appeal to a man in the
vicinity of where he resides. There
are lots Of well meaning people with
all kinds of suggestions about how
TO live on anywhere from s. to s25
a week, and about the elimination OF
breakfast, but the man possessed of
a sood appetite resulting from good
constitution takes but little stock in
such suggestions
The question now is not. what shah
We eat or wherewlthal snail we be
clothed? but, have we the price?
