ADEQUATE BREAKFAST

ADEQUATE BREAKFAST
 Everybody except Glass B neuro- tics would like to enjoy the pep, efficiency, resiliency, good posture, good complexion and, if I may mention 1t with out boring you, the good health that depends SO much on nutrition.
 Good nutrition, depends largely upon the breakfast you eat. If there Is sufficient reason to warrant skimping, skipping or wolflng in a hurry any meal that meal should be the nid-day lunch, and then one can coast along on a little or no lunch only if one has started the day with a real breakfast.
 A real breakfast for any reason- ably healthy youth or adult should invariably include either eggs cook cd as you prefer, or ham and eggs, or bacon and eggs, or sausage, or other meat or fish.
 It must include a cereal dish or item made of cereal-toast, corn- pine, muffin, pancake, waffle, oat- meal, wheat, whatever cereal or breakfast food" you prefer. but NOT two such items, as many bad ly planned breakfast menus do- for instance a dish of cereal gruel with milk or cream or sugar or fruit or honey and then toast, waf- fie or roll.
 A good breakfast must include not less than Q glassful. @ ounces, one-half pinO of milk.
 Breakfast should invariably be- gin with some fresh fruit if fruit Is in season, or in lieu of fresh fruit or the juice freshly expressed (not overnight refrigerated), fresh or commercially (vacuura process) canned tomato juice, not less than four ounces. Home canned tomato to tomato juice may retain c little of the vitamin 0 of the fresh toma. to, but not enough to depend on, when fresh fruit and fresh vege. tables are not available. In lieu of fresh fruit or it's juice, fresh or canned tomato or It's juice, break. fast should begin with stewed prunes or other dried fruit or can. ned fruit - supplemented with e Vitamin o (ascorbic acid) tablet.
 Tea, chocolate, cocoa, coffee? I'm asking you. must know about that before I accept your invitation to breakfast. What, no coffee2 I'm sorry, but I have an important en- gagement elsewhere. Breakfast with out coffee, coffee brewed not cook cd, would be like hell without blaSes--cheerle sort of thing, don't you think? Tea, chocolate, coffee or other beverage, no mat tor, you must take your milk first, If you can't or won't drink your half pint of milk first, then at least take some calcium and vitamin D In lieu of the milk.
 l have left the choice of cereal or item made of cereal open, but in my opinion the very best breakfast cereal iS plain wheat, which you buy by the pound, peck or bushel, from the farmer who grows 1t, from any miller, feed store, seed store, and crack or grind yourself in your coffee mill or similar household mill. Recipes for preparing 1t are given in the pamphlet Wheat to Eat" available on written request (clipping will not dol If you inciose stamped self addressed envelope. Use plain wheat in your everyday dietary and you and your family will enjoy better nutrition.
