PIE BREAKFAST
FOR HICHBROWS
PHYSICIANS IN 40 STATES FAVOR
PASTRY FOR BRAIN WORKER
AND SEDENTARY TYPE
Majority of Medical Men Believe
Heavy Morning Meal Should Start
the Day; Midday Meal Should be
Moderate and Substantial Menu
for the Evening Repast.

Let him have tiff he lives in the
pie zone. 1t won't hurt him a bit
II he has brains, he'll want 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 consider-their type. If they can
rightly be classed as "plethoric, .
they may indulge in a good break
fast, no luncheon and fairly good
dinner. But if they belong to the
greyhound type" the lean hungry
creatures, whose combustion is over
active, they require a substantial
breakfast, mild lunch and more
substantial dinner.
Heavy Breakfast Favored
These are not the facetious opin-
ions of the hearty eater or the cpl
cure. They are the expert views of
a 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 heavy break
fast, followed by a light luncheon,
or to proceed on the mo breakfast
or "coffee and rolls plan, developing
midday appetite subsequently.
The physicians and health commits
sioners of 6 states were overwhelm-
ingly in favor of the heavy break
fast. This is how they voted: Sew
enty-five per cent in favor of reg
ular meal" 10 per cent opposed to
it, 4 per cent inconclusive in their
answers.
They strongly advocated the heavy
breakfast for mental workers. Elev-
en- of them pointed out that to eat
we'll in the morning was advisable,
because after nights rest the di-
gestive apparatus was in good shape
to take care of it and the system re-
quired the fuel provided by such
meal to start the days activities.
low on fuel in the morning, there
fore good-sized meal is justified"
remarked DR.. L.. B. Bloyne, commits
sioner of health and sanitation of
City.
just Like Animals
The mo breakfast plan has no
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
80 different from those of the lower
animals. In support of this theory,
Dr.. S. w. WEIGH, state health Off
,er in Alabama, volunteered:
THE lower animals eat a heavy |
neal at nightfall and lie down to |
est. They rise again with the day |
hould begin the day always with |
J substantial breakfast"
A South Dakota physician supple
nents this with:
If farmer were to take out his
cam at their usual early hour to
10 their usual days work, and the
armer should feed them a scanty
r no meal at all, he would receive
he condemnation, if not more, of all
len."
1t was DR.. Isaac D. Rawlings, di-
ector of the Illinois state depart
lent of public health, who put the
}. K on pie. "If people want pie
Or breakfast and they live in the
lie zone, don't rob them of their pie,
roviding they don't eat too much of
sveral other things" he advised.
DR.. Thomas f. Collins of Adams
lille, Pa, gave it as his view that
the matter of taste is what is ruin
lg the American digestive system.
le eat things because we like the
lste of them, even though we know
ley contain the wrong elements for
Therefore, let us eat
sgularly reasonable amounts of the
lings we should have, disregarding
lie taste.''
DR.. Walter Carver of Albion, Ind, I;
lsplays philosophical turn of mind
e recommends a moderate ample
reakfast, a light, easily digested
inch and the biggest meal in the
yening, but added:
Doctors especially country doc
rs and general practitioners are
ls1ly broken In to take what the !
DDS provide and when and where"
Fifty-five physicians have based
cir decision on personal experience
observation in their practice and
nder their opinion that the sub :
antial breakfast is the best plan.
heir view Is summed up by DR.. p. j.
Underwood of the Mississippi state :
'ard of health, who feels that ''it is
eferable to start the day with a
bstantial breakfast, consisting of
uit, cereal, bacon and eggs, ETC.,
t light but nourishing lunch and
we the heavy meal at six. in the +
