Easter Breakfast

of about five hours, breakfast is
indeed an occasion for the break
ing of a fast-a real fast of
twelve to fourteen hours.
| 1t is obvious then that the first
meal of the day should be a nutri-
tious, satisfying one. While this
applies to all of US, it is particu-
larly true for growing children :.
The fact that in many households
breakfast is not regarded as an
indispensable meal is shown by a
study Of the food habits of public
school children. A survey of
more than twelve thousand of
them showed that nearly one
fourth of their number were start
ing the day with no breakfast at
all or were eating an inadequate
one consisting largely Of bread and
coffee.
The Easter season which brings
thoughts of joyousness, expressed
in new ideas and new things,
should also bring renewed efforts
to attain lbuoyant health. True
joyousness is a result of mental
and physical health. Scientists
and nutrition specialists have prov
ed that mental i'll health may be a
result of bodily ill health. There
fore, if We take care of our body
needs we are helping to insure for
ourselves mental health and
joyousness, not only for Easter
time, but for the whole year
round.
Al good time for the entire FAM
| lily to start good breakfast habits
is on Easter. On Easter morning,
the housewife will want to have an
especially attractive breakfast.
The cereal can be served in round,
flat bowls to make nests for halves
of golden peaches. A novel way
of serving eggs-for there must
be eggs on Easter mornings to
bake them. Hot graham mullins
with a generous amount of butter
and crisp bacon are delicious with
the baked eggs. A glass of cold
milk should be served to each per-
son, even though the adults also
have morning coffee.
Receipts are:
Baked Eggs

in boiling water, or until yolks
and whites are hard. Pour med
ium cream sauce over the sliced
egg (using for dozen eggs 2 cups
of cream sauce, made with 2 cups
milk, a tablespoons, butter, a
tablespoons four). Sprinkle / lay
er of bread crumbs on bottom of
baking dish, and then a layer Of
cream sauce and eggs, another
layer of bread crumbs, and a tiny
bit of grated cheese sprinkled
through. Bake in hot oven for 10
minutes, until buttered crumbs are

| Spring Lunch Boxes
All through the winter mothers
are careful that Johnny and Mary
carry lunches that give plenty of
warmth and energy. With the
coming of spring, they need to
think of lunchbox menu that
will tempt waning Spring" appe-
titles, for as children continue to
need nourishing foods, they should
continue to get them.
"a hot dish at noon should not
be eliminated in the spring. The
wise teacher will arrange to pre-
pare a hot dish at school or to
reheat such dishes brought from
home. In the spring, a hot, butt
tered vegetable, such as spinach or
string beans, will furnish protec-
tive qualities in both the green
food and the butter. A vegetable
may easily he packed in the lunch
box by using one of the little jars
| with screw on lid.
Whole wheat bread sandwiches
with filings of cream cheese or
peanut butter may accompany the
hot vegetable.
Milk is an all-year round neces-
city, especially for children, be-
cause Of its health-building and

occupy an important place in the
child's school lunch. During the
winter. it may have been served at
