LUNCHEON DISHES.

We used to be a nation of overeaters.
Perhaps we still eat too much, mos,
of us. Physicians still say that more
persons die from overeating than from
not eating enough But any one who
notes the modern breakfast will feel
convinced that Americans do less over
eating than they used to do.
Even twenty years ago a hearty
breakfast was the rule. Fruit and
cooked cereal, steak or chops. pota-
toes. hot bread. coffee and often pam
cakes. sometimes sliced tomatoes or
cucumbers-such was the breakfast
served in many homes throughout the
year.

unusual. and steaks and chops are al
