back % our meat and potato breakfasts.
1t does mean that more people are IN
Guiding in their breakfast menu some
sort of satisfying cereal, that thay are
using more milk IN the prearation Of
breakfast, that they are paying the
high price Of eggs for breakfast and
that they do not begrtldge a little choice
fruit by way Of giving flavor and tone
TO this first meal of the day
II IS rather interesting thing, that
you may have discovered for yourself,
that the quickest way 20 engender a
poor breakfast appetite is 10 get in the
habit of eating very meager breakfast.
Some how your digestive apparatus
responds rather quickly to your breakfast
habit and if YOU leave off cereal and
eggs and fruit and acquire the habit Of
taking only coffee and hot bread
toast or rolls or something Of that sort,
before long the very thought OF a hearty
dish at breakfast will seem repulsive
Our american breakfast fruit cereal
and milk or cream, eggs and bacon with
toast or breadstuff of some sort ard
coffee or cereal beverage, is one of the
most wholesome meals that has ever
been devised. IL is admirably suited
to do just what it does break the
nights fast and fit YOU for the work of
new day. OF course in a large measure
the success of the meal lies in having time
enough 10 eat il. Many a man has an
hour for luncheon with only a meager
repast TO consume, and he leaves a
good, wholesome breakfast only half
eaten because he has allowed himself
short of ten minuts to eat It.

louisiana Silent.

Washington, Sept. s.--Announce-
ment has been made by the National
Woman's Party that the attitude of al
the States except New Jersey and Louisi-
ana toward women registering for the
autumn elections is known. When Sec
retary Colby proclaimed ratification
telegrams were sent the Attorneys gen.
ersl of 33 States, inqtiiring whether ad-
ditional legislation was required 10 enable
women to vote in November.
Twenty-six replies have been received.
Allof these States except Alabama, where
a decision is with held until the return
of the Attorney General to the State,
and Mississippi the only State to send an
unfavorable reply, have wired that women
may vote without additional Legislation
or that special provisions are being made
for registration.
Attorney General Robertson Of Mis-
sissippi writes that the provision Of
the State Constitution requires that
electors shall have been registered four
months before an election and that women
therefore, cannot vote this autumn.

MANY PROMISE AID
TO CHILD WELFARE
Chairman of Reconstruction Com
mission Appreciates What
is Being Done.

The following letter has been issued 20
the people Of Delaware by the chairman
of the reconstruction commission TO all
who have aided and are Interested IN child
welfare.
Dear Friends As chairman Of the Re-
construction Commission for Child We'll
fare, | wish 10 thank each one of you
personally for the splendid aid you are
rendering the children Of Delaware. Your
assistance could never come at more
critical period Of our existence. The
funds which the State of Delaware
granted for child welfare were inadequate
to carry on the work already begun and
the demand for welfare stations is grow
ing all the time, so that we face grave
situation just at the time when we should
be reaping a splendid harvest If we can
only secure enough funds 20 bridge over
the time from now TO February, 1921 when
the next Legislature will meet, We feel that
success is ssured. We are confident that
our Legislators viii see the results which
we can prove by having greatly reduced
mortality among mothers and infants.
We can demonstrate that prenatal care
and teaching 10 mothers ard safe and sane
methods Of child care VIII more than make
up 10 the State for any funds disbursed for
tins purpose. We are also constructing
future moral force with an inestimable
saving to the State.
As these children, with proper care,
viii grow in body and mind. they will
have a normal grasp on life and can take
a normal education. They viii not be-
come drunkards, cut-throits, anarchists.
Bolshevists. Consequently, our Ialis
and houses of correction will lose many
inmates and Delaware viii have more
names to swell her honor roll with
smaller budget for the support of her
hospitals, Insane asylums and iails. There
are many organizations which have
promised their aid, among which the
Daughters Of Isabella and the Knights of
Columbus are conspicuous for their recent
four days fair for this splendid cause.
Other societies and clubs have either
promised or rendered aid for Delawares
children. Among these are the Rotary
Club, the Kiwanis Club, Century Club,
Sunshine Society, Mothers Club of
Wawaset, Woman's Auxiliary of the
Episcopal Church, Daughters of 1912,
Wilmington Section Council Of Jewish
Women ard others The State Fair will
also assist US to advertise our work and
methods This all looks most encourag-
ing and it is truly so. But we need our
money uON. Nt cannot pay iehtsi dutO
service, nurses salaries, druggists, etc,
with promises.
Our need is urgent and ! beg most
earnestly for aid Now. Again thanking
each one most warmly and gratefully for
your most generous help both in tho past
and for the future, / am,
Very truly yours,

Reconstruction Commission.

WHY CUPID LEAVES HOME.
Mothers-in-Law and High Rents Blamed
by Chicago Arbitrator.

Chicago, Sept. S.-Mrs. Julia Mcclure,
arbitrator in the Court of Domestic Rela-
tions, and for Is years a student of Chi
cago's social conditions, is authority for
the statement that mothers-in-law and
high rents are responsible for more wreck
ed romances than ever before in the his
tory of the city. The shortage of fats,
she declares, had driven scores Of newly
weds to live with either the mans or the
brides parents.
'IDiscord breaks the harmony of their
new happiness almost Immediately" +"
said Mrs. Mcclure ''These couples are
coming to court daily in increasing num-
bers. These newlyweds own nothing,
neither have they anything TO tie to, and
little differences are soon magnified into
consequentials in such an environment.
The mothers-in-law refuse to let them
adjust their differences once they come
into court. They place every obstacle in
their way"
