bled Frying makes the white of egg tough and very difficult of digestion. A large man who works with his muscle, whether as an athlete or as . laborer, should have two eggs. or 8 ''rasher' 6 or thin slices) of bacon. It may be well to mention here that the fat of break fast bacon Is easily taken care of. but the lean part Is very difficult to digest. One small sausage, or a small portion of fish, or chicken may be substituted for the egg. but ham, beef, hash and other "made-over' meat dishes should not be served for breakfast.
 BREAD-Either or slices of toast, 2 rolls, or corn mullins, or 8 ''pop-overs," or waffles, or 3 corn meal cakes, will supply about 200 calories, and 1 table spoonful of butter gives another 100.
 FOOD VALUES Breakfast should to- tai about 700 to 800 calories and the breakfast as advised of fruit. cereal with cream or milk and sugar, egg, bread and butter contains an average of 80 calories of protein, 220 caiories of fat and 500 call ories of starch and sugar.
 COST-The rational breakfast as ad- vised will cost (uncooked) for one person about 10 cents, If one uses the cheap fruits in season, oatmeal, cracked wheat or corn meal "grits," gruel or hominy;
 but If the expensive fruits, and the com
 mercial breakfast foods are used the cost will amount to 20 or 25 cents. COFFEE AND TEA have been omitted | from the rational breakfast because they | have no food value, except in the cream l and sugar that have been added to make palatable bitter drug called caffeine in | coffee, and thein in tea The normal man does not need stimulant at the | beginning of the day. or at any other | time. If one would be convinced that | coffee Is a stimuiant, let hima if he takes l it regularly, leave off coffee for day I or two and see if he does not suffer from l headache, drowsiness and other evi- l dences of a nervous system that is call | ing for its accustomed drug. If one l would be independent, and his own mas
 ter, he should give up the habit forming i drug that is contained in coffee and tea.
 In a separate article the writer will dis l cuss the caffeine habit.

an overloaded stomach. The breakfast less day is not a new fad, by the way, because Crato, an ancient Greek physi- elan, admonished his patients to 'eat but twice day and put seven hours be- twixt dinner and supper" It is also re- corded that many of the Greeks ate only once day, and many savage tribes eat as they can get food-sometimes going two or three days without food, and then trying to eat enough to fast until the uncertain time when they can again get something to eat. The ancient Greeks, though a wonderful people, had no knowledge of the science of nutrition, and no one would think of initiating the sayages.
 The idea that person can think and work better on an empty stomach" is altogether wrong. A number of exper- iments have been made which prove that efficiency during the morning work ing hours Is decreased when no break ! fast is taken. In England, recently, i'll

I'D BREAKFAST should be the llghtest lH0 meal of the day. The idea of some
 people that they need a heavy meal to start the day on is based upon fallacious reasoning. Food is not di- gested and assmilated for several hours after it is eaten, and stomach full of food, particularly of meats, is a hind rance instead of help at the begin- nng of working dy.
 The nights rest should repair the waste and eliminate the accumulated fatigue materials of the day before, and In the morning the brain, muscles, and all the organs of the body should be fresh and ready to perform their various functions for the day. Enough food is stored up In tn ebody during one day to be utilized for the first half of the next day, at which time breakfast be- gins to furnish fuel for heat, energy and repair.
 The fad of going without breakfast is as harmful as beginning the day with

The Real Difference
Between the Soldiers of
The Fighting Armies

What is the real lesson Of the atroci-
ties Germany has committed in the war!
Do they prove that Germans are diff
ferent species of human beings?
This would do violence to the observa-
tions which nearly all broad minded men
have reached, who have come into con-
tact with many breeds of men.
Scientists, travellers and just plain
folk are pretty well agreed that in his
own home, in normal surroundings. the
average man of one cline or race is very
much like the man Of any other breed.
Certainly the war has proved that in the
primitive qualities of courage, endurance
and loyalty the rank and file Of the com.
Blatant races are very much alike.
Relying on these facts the defenders
of German crime have continued to whis-
per: ''Oh, all soldiers are alike if the
allies had been on German soil they would
have done just as badly"
This is a SANDER on the living heroes
of every army except the German Even
the Turkish fighting man has better
record. II is also a SANDER on the dead
of our American armies of the RevoIu-
ton and the Civil war.
No such outrages as the German
crimes were recorded in any American
war. by either side.
Eve in the track Of Sherman's march
across Georgia today there is not tradi-
ton of anything like the hellsh things
which marked the German tide thru
Belgium. In the South African war
there was not one instance of a British
soldier even insulting a black or white
woman.
The Germans in 1870 did not do such
things in France. To match the atroc-
tiles of 1914-1917 one must travel back
to the massacres and rapne Of the rehg-
ious wars Of the 10th and 18th cen.
turtles.
The answer to the whole anomaly is
very simple and doubly damning to the
ruling caste in Prussia today.
All soldiers are very much alike. but
ARMIES and OFFICERS are not.
Any army contains a percentage OF
men who will, if not held by rigid dis

Three Rousing Cheers
For the Man Who
Discovered SIS Steel

Now that President Wilson and the
Federal Trade commission have fixed the
steel price al S5S per ton. Secretary OF
the Navy JoSephus Daniels may smile
Daniels was the man who discovered
S58 steel.
Many months ago, when the war was
young and the demand for steel plates for
warships was vigorous. the Honorable
Josephus went to the mat with the
steel crowd. They wanted 10 charge him
all kinds of fancy prices, beginning at
$50 and ranging upward. General Goeth-
ais thought $50 was fair price for expe-
dited steel.
But the Honorable Josephus took out
his little pencil and wrote on little piece
of paper, S5S.
That" said he, "Will be about the
price the government viii pay That gives
you profit of $50 a ton, sufficient in
ducement to hustle"
The steel men saw Daniels meant bust
ness, and signed up for about TOO 900
tons at that figure. They waited and la
mented, however, and cast ashes on their
heads. And now, by jimminy cracks.
along come the president and the federal
trade commission and say Josephus was
right, and that the price Of steel is. and
shall ever after remain, S5S a ton.
Now, DULLES, three rousing cheers for
Josephus

Money Spent In This
Liberty Loan Will All
Come Back to DetrOiters

Over half Of the money tina. Is to be
raised in this Liberty loan, that will soon
see the Detroit drive on again IN charge
Of the same capable and energetic men
who made such a success OF their precious
efforts, will be pure investment Of the
people of the United States and in no
sense money to burn in war.
The seven billions of loan 70 allies Is
not only loan at fair interest but the
bulk of the money will help to keep our
shops, ships and railroads busy
II is rs if We were pawbrokers loaning
money TO be spent in our own shops,
which sure has the features Of a fine bust
ness cinch.
Nearly billion and half is 70 90 into
ships.
America has got to have ulenty Of
ships, when commerce rehabilitates itself
after the war, or America Will be a dead
one, commercially.
These ships now building will pay for
themselves during the war.
Moreover, they mean that in peace,
American overseas commerce VIII not be
at the mercy of corporation greed.
An investment that means immediate
profits and trade freedom.is surely a tlne
one. for nation or individual.
We are going to spend $3.50, 900 on
aviation.
There is no question but aviation is TO
be one of the methods of transportation.
The greater foreign nations see this
and are preparing for it, and Uncle sam
is not the party to go to sleep on any
great proposition that signifies progress.
A whole lot of that $650,000,000 will
be spent right here in Detroit, the COM
ing aeropIane center of the world.
Then, in these 20 billions are many
hundreds of millions TO be invested IN
such things as food administration, war
risk insurance, the Danish West Indies,
nitrate plants, Alaskan railways, and gov
eminent arsenals and factories of sew
eral sorts, and on most Of these invest
ments profit is assured.
We are actually raising more than
half of our Liberty Loan to invest for
our own profit.
Moreover. in the billions which We di-
rectly spend on war there is, indirectly
but actually. a profits investment. We
put those billions into war in order to
secure permanent peace, and in peace we
can beat all other nations as to profits.

TO act vice or virtue is 10 induce il.
This is a well-known psychological law.
Act petulant, you become petulant Act
the gentleman, and you get to feeling like
a gentleman Put on brutal manners and
indulge in brutal words, and before long
you are brutal
The utility of this law is apparent
when We become conscious Of our short
comings and want to improve ourselves.
For instance, if am awkward and diff

my model, | ape his ways. his voice, his
carriage, and by and 10y grow to be
Brummelish in my mind. If put on and

All this is prelude to this point that
worry is the manifestation of weakness,
and poise is the manner Of power
If want power, therefore, and have it
not, let me put away worry and put on
polse. and power will come TO me.
