A person is more efficient when
he oats breakfast than when he
doesn't. The main difference comes
in the morning'hours.
Studies have shown that children
who eat proper breakfasts have a
better chance to do well in school
than the children who do not eat
a good breakfast.
When you are planning ereak
fasts. it is well to remember what
the word "breakfast" means. Often
it is 12 to 14 hours from supper
to breakfast; so you are literally
"breaking a fast." You refuel the
body at breakfast time, for the
day's work.

"Home Of Batter Values'1
It's garden i Ianting time. Plan
your garden so you will have a
continuous supply of a few vege
tables all through the growing sea
son. The green leafy vegetables
are especially important, and it's
wise to have one or another of
them from earliest spring up until
freezing time.
Dr. Hazel St'ebeling, assistant
chief of the Brreau of Human
Nutrition and Home Economics,
says that as a nation we need to
double our supplies of green and
vellw vegetables.
High on the list for food values
are, tomatoes, cabbage, chard,
kale, and beet greens. All these
are easy to grow. Other good
vegetables for nutrition are limas,
snan beans, carrots, green lettuce,
spinach, and turnips.
The old Negro cook would al
ways, just before taking a pie out
rf the oven, sprinkle a little sugar
on the plate she was going to put
the pie on. It was placed on the
oven rack unt'l thoroughly hot.
The pie and pli'e cooled t-'gethet ,
thus avoiding sweating of the pie
and a soggy bottom.
Whole wheat, is a good food.
For good nutrition, each person
requires one or more servings of
a whole grain ceveal ea"h day.
WhHe wheat. pro"!des energy for
the body. It cnntiins some pro
tein for body bu'ld;ng and repair.
Last year Americans wasted
more than 280 million pounds of
cabbage by trowirg away the core
and outer leaves! At least one
ualf of this vaste was of edible
food. How about checking up on
your habits in this respect?
Cabbage isn't the onlv victim.
Many green, vi'amin-filled leaves
are thrown awav beciuse they're
ragged or broken. Outer leaves
that don't look oo presentable are
still useful if a chopped salad,
or for soup.
