The Breakfast Eating Habit
Did you eat good breakfast this
morning? Did you prepare a good
breakfast? Learn to be a breakfast
eater, not just preparing one. School
bells are ringing all over the land
and hordes of young people are
rushing into class rooms. Many go
without any food in the mornings.
1t is not too early for food, because
the body has been without food
longer during the night than at any
time during the "a hours of the day.
Certainly it needs nourishment be-
fore undertaking the days work.
whether at school or a job-for
youth or adults. So" going without
breakfast" is a bad start for the
day.
Workers who skip breakfast, get
less done during the first working
hours of the day, than those who
tuck away good breakfast before
work. AS morning grows old, the
hungry ones grow less efficient.
After lunch, they do better, then
slow up again. What happens to
these workers happens to home
makers, too, and everyone else. 1t
is especially true of children. A
child who east good breakfast
has better chance to do well with
studies and games.
If breakfast is problem meal.
don't give up. Try to solve it. AS

a good breakfast, nutrtonst suggest

light to hearty" Such as: fruit. GER

MONTGOMERY WARD
STRIKERS BACKED

DETROIT, Dec. 1O.-4Rl-Some
1900 striking employees OF four
Montgomery Ward stores in this
area have received the support
Of the United Automobile Workers
{CIO), Gus schol]e, regional direc-

Scholle said The decision approx
ing the strike, which threatens to
spread to other cities, including
Chicago, had the support of all
the unions ranking officials, ex-
cepting R. j. Thomas, president,
who is on a European trip.
The strikers, members of the
United Retail, wholesale and De-
partment Store Employees tC1O),
walked out yesterday in what union
leaders described as protest
against failure of the company to
recognize War Labor Board direc-
tives covering union maintenance

Today and TOMORROW
BY WALTER LIPPMANN

|of the liberated population is
also a very important military con-
|sideration: there are within iber-
ated Europe reserves of man pow
ed and Of potential economic pow
er which can become, as war is
prolonged, of great military inn
portance. And obviously wide and
deep disorder brought on by hum
ger and idleness would also be an
important military consideration.
To strike the right balance
among these conflicting needs is
most difficult act of judgment.
The resulting decision cannot be
agreeable. The only way the de-
cision can be made acceptable,
for it is bound to mean privation,
is to invite the governments of
liberated countries, particularly
the French government, to share
the responsibility in the Allied
councils of war. In no other way
will the privations of the people
become Ineligible to them, and
therefore bearable.
