Use of Cereal as
Breakfast Food
Commended
Nv DIR, MORRIS FISHBEIN,
Editor, Journal Of the American
Medical Association.


During the past twenty years the
American breakfast has changed
There was a time when 1t included 9
variety of foods which were taken
in large amounts. Today breakfast
for most people includes, If they eat
ANYTHING. fruit, cereal, coffee. egg,
and occasionally small strip OF
bacon or ham. Women seem, now
ever. to have reduced breakfast mere
" to fruit Juice and coffee, and those
who reduce may even eliminate tne
fruit juice.
Under present circumstances &C.
reals have developed a place OF IN
creasing Importance in the breakfast
menu. A committee Of the American
Public Health association has listed
100 cereal breakfast foods which have
gradually invaded the field formerly
controlled by whole wheat and oat-
meal served hot.
A list prepared by DR.. Bailey OF the
Connecticut Agricultural Experiment
station includes five barley prepara-
tions, % corn products, q oat deriva-
tiyes. IA rice products, 68 wheat prep
arations, II wheat bran preparations,
and 81 miscellaneous products.
When cereals are finely ground they
leave the stomach more rapidly than
when they are in their crude form.
The modern prepared cereal Is much
more easily digested than the Jumps
Of oatmeal which were part OF the
breakfast Of an earlier day.
Cereals are abundant in starch, IN
clude q small amount Of protein, al!
Of them have about the same mineral
ingredients, and their vitamins, ex-
cept for the germ OF the various
grains, are not important.
Notwithstanding this fact, the pro-
moters Of various special cereal prod
ucts are likely to place special en-
phasis on the amount Of some min
eral ingredient. Actually grains COM
ing from different parts Of the coun-
try vary surprising in the amounts OF
such ingredients that they contain,
and it seems futile to make broad
claims for differential mineral value,
unless the special section Of the coun-
try from which the grain comes IS
known.
A survey Of the entire field by the
special committee OF the American
Public Health association indicates
that cereal breakfast foods furnish
energy at a reasonably low cost. They

GERMANS ADVANCE


on April II, 1918, heavy fighting OF,
the Lys front resulted in the capture
of Merris and Vieux Berquin by Ger
man troops.
British forces continued to hold
Neuve Eglise against German attacks
but gains made on the TANKS by the
Germans rendered the town vulner-
able to assaults from three sides by
niehtfall and military experts regard
ed the towns fall as inevitable.
American troops on the Toul sector
were again attacked by German
forces, but succeeded in beating them
off after sharp fighting. More than q
regiment Of enemy troops participated
in the attack.
The German 1ong-range gun again
bombarded Paris, but losses there
were small.

A Curious World

The youngster who fell down a mar
row mine shaft in Oklahoma was
saved after several dozen men and
thousands of dollars worth Of me-
chanical equipment had been pressed
into service for him. The eagernesS
with which the people Of that Okla
homa town modified themselves to
get one little three-year-old out Of a
hole in the ground is on inspiring,
heartening thing.
Unfortunately, though. that's only
one side of the picture. We live in a
keyed world, and here's another
little story to prove it.
While this rescue work was going
on In Oklahoma, third grade teacher
in q public school in large middle
western city was asking her pupils to
write short themes entitled. What !
had for breakfast this morning."
The themes, when she got them,
were rather shocking. A lot Of them
consisted Of pathetic little scrawls
saying, II didn't have any breakfast
this morning"-"I had cup Of cof-
fee"-"Mother went away this morn
ing and didn't get me any breakfast
Nothing"
So the teacher. dipping into slen-
der fund raised by public contibu-
ton, bought each Of these youngsters
q half pint of milk.
She had had them write that
theme. you see, so that she could find
out. tactfully, Just which children had
come breakfastless to school.
The city in which this happened Is
large. and, as cities 60, rich. It has
magnificent public buildings, it sup
ports an excellent symphony orches-
ira, q fine art museum and three
well-equipped colleges. 1t has a string
of suburbs which contain some OF
Americas finest homes. It also con-
tains several thousand children who
get no breakfasts: and in order to get
a little money to buy milk for them
It was necessary for the city's news
papers and its radio stations to con-
duct long and spirited campaign.
Let one child get into danger and
we are quick to come to the rescue
Let several thousand suffer from
acute hunger. though, and we remain
placid: or we give them each halt
pint Of milk and think we've done our
whole duty.

New York Modifies Baumes
Law

New York state has revised the
drastic character Of its famous
Baumes law. Under this statute, life
Imprisonment was mandatory for a
fourth conviction Of felony.
The so-called fourth offender life
penalty law was enacted by the New
York legislature to check the rising
tide Of crime Immediately following
the World war.
The purpose Of criminal laws Is that
they be both deterrent and correction
al. There IS no means Of determin.
ing the deterrent effects Of this
dourth-offender law. No doubt it had
considerable influence in controlling
the acts Of many criminals having
three convictions for felony to theif

appears to have provided no possibtl.

4l0th hour -"
New York, April 14.-1t was close to
the 410th hour of a dance marathon
that has been going on hereabouts
when I came upon this chapter out OF
the very book of desperation.
The scene was just about what one
might expect after some twenty days
of more or less perpetual motion.
Whiting partners seemed to melt
through the steps of some strange
Somnambulistic stroll. Gawking cash
customers stood or sat about making
editorial comments and betting on the
results. Smoke screened whole Sec
tions Of the place. Musicians played
in q key somewhere between futilty
and fatigue.
There was one couple: an elderly
woman and a youngish man. The
woman, about so, was stodgy, plump,
bespectacled, maternal. The young
man was strong, husky, well built.
Funny one, that" commented nv
guide, "A mother and a son-you'll
see EN- listed as Catherine and Frank
Terri 90"
But it wasn't funny. Mrs. Ferri has
two small children. And no money.
Frank ordinarily works at anything
that requires manual labor. He hasn't
had work for weeks. The cupboards
were bare. They heard Of the mara
thon. There's fat prize for the win
ner and something for those who hold
out.
They were holding out-mother and
son-while the band sagged through
its monotonous program. On and on
in this desperation waltz!
4 X !!
In Reverse
New York is filled with Moscovitzes
who become Moses, and Robinsky's
who became Robins, and Platzbaums
who became Platts.
But the other day came upon
the first case of chap who changed
his name the other way He is Julius
Cohen, drama critic for the Journal OF
Commerce. julius was born in Lon
don under the name of Gompertz.
When he started out, some years back
and on another paper. he heard that
a certain editor would allow no Sem
etc name to appear In the "by-lines."
This annoyed him to such an extent
that he took the name Of Cohen-and
the paper lived to display it many
times.
Georges Biggest Hit
Which reminds me OF yarn l
heard about George Kaufman. the
playwright. George wanted to get up
Fifth Avenue. A Hiberian parade was
blocking traffic. He could not get
through. There was but one thing to
do: get into the street and march with
the marchers. This he did.
But Kaufman has beak that ranks
somewhere between those Of Cyrano
and Jimmy Durante. For five blocks
he was the hit Of the parade. When
he tried to leave it, having reached
his destination, his fellow marchers
protested. He tramped q few blocks
more-and then promised to go all the
way the next time. And escaped!

A Man Stark Mad

The case Of an Illinois convict who
set fire to the prison chapel because
he was tired of being shut up" and
wanted to see the whole place burn
up" is q tragic example of what long
continued imprisonment can do to a
human soul.
This man has been in prison for
IS years. Prison officials describe
him as stark mad'-which seems
rather obvious, since there was not
the slightest chance that his act OF
incendiarism could have benefited him
in any way.
That, apparently, is what happens
to Q man who is locked up for a life
time. It gives one dark, tragic pic
ture Of what goes on In the minds
and hearts Of the men whom society
has had to keep under lock and key.
