London-The Rev. F. B, Meyer Of
Leeds admits the following incident in
Midland chapel: The preacher was an
noyed by the sound OF whispering com

of the galleries At last he paused in
his sermon and declared, IF the
young couple making love under the
gallery do not come to me in the
estry before service next Sunday
morning ! Will name them to the
church" 1t was a chance shot, but
next Sunday he found 20 couples
awaiting him in the vestry. The Rev
Mr. Meyer told the young couples
that he does not seriously object to a
little counting" in chapel. He urged
them, however, mot to carry counting
to the point of actual love-making"

WHAT TO HAVE FOR BREAKFAST.

to the English meal, is quite in the be.

English cook book: Bloaters on toast,
collared tongue whatever that NAV

white bread and butter, brown bread,
and bread and milk.
Another-Pigeon pie, stewed kidney,
milk rolls, dry toast. brown and white
bread, mustard and cress, milk por-
ridge
A person who could digest such
breakfasts as these in August ought
to make good soldier 1t is said,
and justly, that Americans eat too
much. but we certainly are low on
breakfasts, compared to the English.
We need follow no law except that
OF the individual in preparing our
breakfasts, as each individual has de-
sires peculiar to himself. Fruit is en-
Joyed by some and a source of dis
tress to another, Cereal is energy to
one and "a soggy mass of indigesti-
bility' to another Coffee, the fragrant
refreshing cup, joy to many, 10

cent.
Then there are the mo breakfast
advocates, an arrangement which Ger.
tainly has its good POINTS, for it does
away with the hurried meal presided
over by no house mother or a frowsy
one. Such beginning is not a good
start for the days work.
A dainty breakfast, well served, is
OF FAR more value to the individual
than the more food properties served
A far better day is in store for the
man who leaves his breakfast table in
an agreeable frame of mind, and he
will return, usually in the same mood
No greeting, however smiling, or din.

FIGS AND DATES.

We are in the habit Of thinking that
dates, figs and raisins are CONNECTIONS,
tidbits and luxuries. They are, in a
measure, but contain much food value,
and are much more wholesome for
children to eat than too much OF the
so-called fresh fruit with which they
are provided. These dried fruits are
both nourishing and economical. as
they take the place of more expensive
foods. Dates have food value in
calories of 1875 to pound, while the
much used potato has only 295 to the
pound.
Stuffed Dates.-Boil rapidly with
out stirring, one-half a cup OF granu'
lated sugar and quarter OF a cup OF
milk. Keep the granules from form
