HEARTY BREAKFAST IS O. K.
French Medical Professor Urges Euro.
peans to Follow Example Of
Americans.

Bordeaux, France.-The American
breakfast Of ham and eggs, liver and
bacon, beefsteak or other meat, vege-
tables and porridge, as a substitute for
the meager European morning meal, is
recommended for France by Doctor
Bergonie, professor of the Bordeaux
medical faculty.
Doctor Bergonie regards this substi-
tuition as one of the reforms most like
ly to relieve the economic situation, by
providing rational nourishment and
avoiding a great deal of waste.
He bases his argument on the fact
that man requires sustenance most at
the beginning Of the day when he is
about to make his effort, whereas in
Europe he takes his principal meal
when his days work is half through,
when he is half tired out and is in
capable Of 80 digesting his meal as to
give him proper support for the rest Of
the days work.
