START THE DAY RIGHT
,By Dr. Lorne A. Summers. Director Of

The success or failure Of your days
work largely depends upon how you
start the day. 1t has been said that Il
you smile until ten in the morning, the
rest Of the day will take care Of itself.
There Is much truth In this saying.
The person who leaves home In the
morning with a crouch generally winds
up the day with an attack of blues"
one Of the greatest assets OF the be-
ginning of a good day Is a good break
fast When the food Is properly cooked
Il furnishes cheer and strength for the
days work.
When not properly cooked. or when
served in the wrong combinations. the
food robs the body OF the energy neces-
sary for quick and accurate thinking
during the day.
A good breakfast consists Of those
foods which furnish the body with the
requisite nutriment with the least ex-
penditure Of nervous energy In digest
ing IT, The first course In the morning
should consist Of fruit followed by a
cereal or bacon. Bacon Is a very ap-
petzlng food; a slice or two Of crisp
toast and hot drink added to this
