To Eat or Not to Eat Breakfast -
Thai Is the Question

clean out the stables; feed the stock:
get the milk ready for churning. or
for its trip to the creamery; harness
the horses to be ready for a quick
getaway TO the fields. and by the
time they come stalking into the
house for breakfast they are ready
for pie or anything else which hap
pens to be OF the table.
Pie for Breakfast.
In this fat and prosperous local
ity pie is ably ianked by many things.
seant attention is paid 10 so-called
breakfast foods. There Is always
meat OF some sort. usually fried ham
or salt pork: warmed-up potatoes;
homemade bread: honey; fried
mush; great stacks of wheat pan
cakes in the Summer and of buck
wheat napjacks in the Winter, buried
in gravy or syrup and nanked by
sausage. scrapple or head-cheese.
They live on it and thrive and pros
per 10 a ripe old age. But they are
an outdoor people. And although
few eat as lavishly as do the Penn
sylvania Dutch. either for breakfast
or any other meal. all farmers have
a heavy breakfast. They need it.
York state farmers often eat pie at
their morning meal, as they do in
many parts of New England, and few
OF them consider breakfast a meal II
there is not a slab or two OF molasses
or dried apple cake, and a plate Of
homemade cookies to top of with.
However. the farmer is not n
brain worker-that is he does not
use his brains at a desk. Assuredly
he does not lead { ~sedentary life.
And those who do can not follow his
course of diet and not encounter a
series of ills of which he never even
heard.
The ~no-breakfast adherents might
score a point by calling attention to
the extraordinary amount of work
which the farmer Is able to accom-
plish on an empty stomach. But the
no-breakfast folks have been pretty
well vanQuished. The normal stom-
ach is entirely empty OF food in the
morning, and contains only about a
half of what medical men
term 4 fasting secretion. Hunger
c%ontractions, which arc actual physi-
cal occurrences commence and do NOT
cease until food is taken. One pain
full and often serious consequence OF
going to work with an empty stom-
ach is the effect on the eyes. There
is such a close connection between
the optic and the pneumo-gastric
nerve that when the stomach and di-
gestive organs are not properly
treated the eyes suffer.

Are All Reptiles Poisonous?

An English scientist says that all
reptiles are venomous-even the so
called common grass snake is pol
n o even though it may not prove
fatal. For the snakes which have
no poison fangs have venom in their
blood and saliva, and this at once
penetrates the minute wounds made
with their teeth. Frogs. toads and
lizards are poisonous. and most fish
contain small quantities of poison,
as many fishermen know to their
cost.
Dogish sting with their inns. These
ans are actually poison fangs. On

he is pretty certain TO have worked
out his formula { o suit his particular
taste. and TO ese any attempt TO
interfere with his regime. There arc
few things moro conducive to a waste
OF time and effort than trying 10 give
someone advice regarding his diet
unless you back up your advice with
scientific reasons.
One mans unsubstantiated opin-
ion is as good as another's, and If we
are TO get any benefit from the light
or heavy-breakfast controversy
which once more occupies the stage
we must look at those things which
science has proved to be facts and
not merely at what someone may
think. To quote one Of Grover
Cleveland's aptlv clever remarks: I'll

will find indigestible. And what the
proper diet is for each can only be
found by successful experimentation.
How simple the whole subject
might become IL only some wise and
learned man might give us a food or
which the brain would thrive, so thai
knowledge might be as easily ac-
duired as a healthful body by eating
certain things. But it seems pretty
we'll proven thu. there is no food
which may be selected to nourish the
brain, except as II builds up the gen
eral health, and so. the nervous sys.
tenn and the brain cells. The belief
that the phosphorus in fish does this
is not borne out by science. "And
as a matter of fact" We are. told
there is no more phosphorus in fish
than in many other foods"

Eggs. which appear in various
forms at more breakfast tables than
any other one food, are rich in pro-
tein. From the raw white of the
egg, which leaves the stomach very
rapidly. to eggs "a la Beauregard" of
the French chef, they are a favored
means of breaking the morning fast.
Eggs give rise to less stimulation of
the gastric secretion than meat ard

NICE farmers planted I'll

NNCE farmers planted the
nubbins OF their corn and
the potatoes that were too
small to sell. Now they know better.
They cut up their finest potatoes to
plant. and every grain of their seed

Colonial Dame. The result is seen in
the doubled yield in potatoes richer
in starch and corn richer in protein.
Modern agriculture is fertilized by
sciences.

ology is the infant science of socioI-
ogy. 1t is only just beginning to get
its eyes open. to see things: in time.
perhaps it will be able to do things,
like the older sciences. But there is
need Of haste. The age of instinct is
passing, the reign of reason has not
come. Man has been pushed up to
his present position. He has sue
ceeded in slackening the pressure.
Will he forward nationally Of his own
free will, or sink back until again he
falls under the sway of the blind and
merciless forces of the struggle for
existence?
A decrease in the birth rate is not
necessarily a misfortune to a
try. Very likely. for instance. the
British Isles have now all the pop
ulation they can support in comfort
under present economic conditions.
The alarming thing about 1t is that
the breeding is from the poorest
stock instead OF the best. Whatever
objective standard one may take this
is true. A statistical study OF the
population ofAGreat Britain showed
that in the districts where there was
the most overcrowding. the cheapest
type of labor, the lowest degree of

Despite all that science has told
us. there are still those who believe
nerves are merely a state Of mind
and not actual physical things as
real as bones or muscle. And since
the nerve force is at an ebb in the
morning, common sense points out
that the stimulation of sensible food
is needed most at that time. One OF
the greatest fears expressed in re-
gard TO heavy breakfasts for the
brain worker is hat the blood and
nervous energy will be drawn from
the stomach. where 1t is needed to

minutes) eggs. A fried egg is taken
care of about as rapidly as a hard
boiled one. while one fried in an cx-
cess of fat will remain in the stom-
ach a half-hour longer. Eggs in
combination with milk do not leave
the stomach as rapidly as eggs alone,
since the albumin prevents the
formation of curds. Bacon and
eggs alone. and have a distinctly
higher food value. Eggs with friz-
zled beef are also an easily digested
combination. Eggs and meat, may
therefore. be said to be a desirable
choice.
A Matter Of Taste.
If you prefer meat alone, to start
the day, 1t is no difficult thing to as
certain how long it will take your
stomach to care for it But you
must first learn whether you have
a rapid or slow emptying type OF
stomach. since there are the two
kinds; both perfectly normal. one
requiring about three-quarters of an
hour more than the other. Lamb
chops require from two to three
hours for the person with the rapid
emptying stomach to digest, and
from three to four for the slow type.
If your taste runs to beefsteak in the
morning. you may digest it broiled
in three hours; fried in three and
one-half hours, and chopped raw in
three and one-quarter hours. Amaz-
ing as it may sound. the cheaper and
tougher cuts of beef are digested
