II pie is the sort Of thing a man
insists on having for his breakfast,
It's no use telling him that indiges-
ton Is going to shorten his life.
Let him have lift he lives in the
pie zone. It won't hurt him a bit.
II ne has brains, he'll want a heavy
breakfast, anyway.
AS for the people who never sit
down to breakfast table without
making inroads on fruit, cereal, ba-
con and eggs, tea or coffee, toast, hot
cakes or hot biscuits-why, they're
the sensible folk who enjoy life and
WILL live until their teeth refuse to
gnaw on the bacon.
There's only one thing for them
TO eonsider-their type. II they can
rightly be classed as "plethoric,"
tney may indulge in a good break
last, no luncheon and a fairly good
dinner. But If they belong to the

creatures. whose combustion is over
active, they require a substantial
breakfast, mild lunch and q more
substantial dinner.
Heavy Breakfast Favored
These are not the facetious opin-
ions OF the hearty eater or the epi-
cure. They are the expert views of
great many physicians contained in
survey conducted by "The Medical
Review Of Reviews" all over the
country, says the New York Tribune.
The object of the survey was to as
certain whether it was preferable to
start the day with a heavy break
fast, followed by a light luncheon,
or to proceed on the mo breakfast"
or coffee and rolls" plan, developing
a midday appetite subsequently,.
The physicians and health commits

tngly in favor Of the heavy break
fast. This is how they voted: Sew

because after nights rest the di-

to take care of it and the system re-

"The system, like the furnace, is
low on fuel in the morning, there

remarked DR.. l.. B. Bloyne, commits
sioner of health and sanitation OF
Kansas City.
Just Like Animals
"The no breakfast plan has no
scientific foundation and to my way
of thinking, is not logical" contri-
buted DR.. Herman N. Bundesen,
health commissioner of Chicago.
Several physicians pointed out that
the physical needs of men are not
so different from those Of the lower
animals. In support of this theory
DR.. s. w. WEIGH, state health off.
Ger in Alabama, volunteered:
The lower animals eat a heavy
meal at nightfall and lie down to
rest. They rise again with the day
hungry. My impression is that we
should begin the day always with
a substantial breakfast"

DR.. Thomas F. Collins of Adams.
