Customary Breakfast
Too Low In Galleries

er coming in from the night shift
and the children to be hustled to
school, breakfast is likely to be a
really inadequate meal as he sug-
gests.
OF course. "orange juice. toast
and coffee" is the skeleton of
Il good breakfast. The modern
American, in whose good sense |
still believe. has left the outline
ut least. In the orange juice he
has rapidly absorbed and concern
trated energy and enough Vita
min G for his whole day: also, by
the way, quite little Vitamin A
and B and the ribotlarin part of
Vitamin G. Yes, we cannot fore
go orange juice or some substitute
for breakfast.
Augmented American Breakfast
On the toast he has some vege-
table protein, more Vitamin b,
iron and so to 100 calories. depend
ing on the size of the slice of toast.
We presume he has some butter
or margarine on the toast, so he
gets some more calories. And cof-
fee with cream and sugar is q
good energizcr for the old heart
that must pump him to work.
But such a breakfast is woe
fully deficient in calories, protein
and some minerals, notably salt.
Let us see - how many calorics
should breakfast contain? The to-
tai number of calories you need
daily is at least 1000. That break
fast hardly contains 200. At break
fast you are really breaking
fast, having gone without nourish-
ment for at least ten or twelve
hours and you are facing the hard
est and most caloric- depicting Pc
riod OF the working day. ] should
say you should count on the eve
ming meal for the heaviest stoking,
making from 800 to 900 calorics,
so breakfast should be counted on
to supply at least 500 calories.
This can be supplied easily by
adding to the orange juice, toast
and coffee an egg or two, or
cereal, or a sausage, or bacon. Or,
borrowing from our continental
friends, some Danish pastry, or
gnocchi, petite pancakes, or Kol-
dolmer.
The monotony OF this modern
kitchenette American breakfast is
also against il. Once a week, yes,
but daily it has no soul. There are
a dozen raw fruits-grapefruit, to-
mato juice. plums, apple sauce:
strawberries. raspberries - all
containing the necessary vitamins.

The church offers spiritual
guidance to young people. After
all that is what We go to church
for, young and old. But, while
it is offering this spiritual guild
ance, 1t holds forth to young peo-
pie an abundance of other things
as we'll.
1t offers them the best there Is
in the way of environment. In
the church they meet the type OF
young folk whose society is most
beneficial to them. morally, So
cially and educationally. In the
church they are taught to culti-
vate aims worthy of them; they
are given opportunity to develop
any talents which may lay DOR
mant within them. In the line OF
recreation there are plays, and
other amusements offering clean
and profitable play. These are
free for the asking should We
avail ourselves and encourage
others to do so.
The church is one of the great
est organizations in the world. No
one can go wrong by staying
with the church. The church Is
Gods safety zone in the world.

Behind that little scene lies a
drama of everyday life, love and
marriage in wartime. Perhaps
1t was when she waved goodbye
at the station and watched as her
husbands green uniform was
slowly absorbed into hundreds
OF others waiting 10 entrain, or
maybe it was that first letter

Ellen Potter Walker made up

the war over. A bride of less
