THREE-POINT TEST OF A GOOD
BREAKFAST—(1) It gives you ma
terials for body building and re
pair and to help keep you healthy;
(2) it provides fuel for body ener
gy; and (3) it tastes good.
A doughnuts-and-coffee break
fast fails the test right on Point
One. It leaves far too much for
other meals to make up.
A fruit-juice-and-coffee break
fast goes a little way toward Point
One, but not far enough. It’s short
on Point Two also. Between sup
per and breakfast there’s a 10 or
12-hour stretch. Breakfast should
supply its share of energy food.
For many people, particularly
children, it’s sound planning to
have one-fourth to one-third of the
day's food at breakfast; but there’s
no hard and fast rule. A desk work
er who eats a substantial lunch ear
ly may get along very well on a
light breakfast. It’s the food you
eat in the entire day, totaled up,

BREAKFAST VARIETY—H ere
are a few ways to get variety—and
maybe surprises—into breakfasts.
Vary cooked fruit flavor. Sprin
kle applesauce with cinnamon or
other spice, or with raisins or chop
ped dried fruit. Add orange or
lemon slices to prunes, figs, or
dried peaches.
Scramble eggs with tomatoes. To
serve 6: beat together 6 eggs and
a cupful of cooked or canned to
matoes. Season, and cook in a lit
tle fat over low heat, stirring con
stantly, until firm as you like it.
Broil or fry tomatoes-red or
green—and serve with bacon.
Chop cold potatoes and heat in
a little fat, then scramble them
with eggs.
Split left-over rolls, biscuits, muf
fins, or corn bread. Spread with
butter or margarine, and toast in
the oven. Or make bacon rolls by
putting crisp brown bacon into
toasted rolls.
Use stale bread to make an old
favorite—French toast. Dip bread
in a mixture of egg and milk or
egg and tomato juice. Brown care
fully in a little fat.
MOTOR MAIDS
ARE YOU OVERIVEIGHT?—Doc
tors say overweight isn’t a little
problem. It’s a big one. One out of
five adults carries around large
slabs of unnecessary fat. The over
weight adult may be struggling
alone to control his weight, or he
may be tryingto reduce it under
the guidance and with the aid of
his physician, or by listening to a
faddist or pill peddler.
The enormity of the problem is
clear when one considers that obe
sity contributes to the development
of one after another of the debili
tating chronic diseses. By the ma
jority of medical people, it is be
lieved to the principal contributory
■cause of tatheroscierosis, a chronic
blood vessel disease involved in
heart cases and strokes. Diabetes
is another disease th^t occurs more
frequently in obese patients. The
list of problems aggravated by over
weight is long and not the least
among these are the psychological
ones.
Keep abreast of what is going
on in the nutrition field.

Safety Into Roads
By Martha Johnson
Dodge Safety Consultant
“Drivers who skillfully and in
telligently use roads as planned
by jriiffic engineers have l«tter
assUTfuice of safe travel and con
tribute their share to the comfort
and convenience of fellow road
users,” according to Fred W.
Hurd, director of the Bureau of
Highway Traffic at Yale Univer
sity.
“•As a result of scientific
studies of road accidents and
congestion made by traffic en-
glneers, we can devise better
methods of road design and traf
fic control,” he says.
“But, the human factor still is
one of the highway engineers’
greatest problems.
’"For example, acceleration
and deceleration lanes are pro
vided a^ many intersections to
smooth flow of traffic. Yet
some drivers use these supple
mental lanes improperly or not
at all.
“We use precise calculations
to time traffic signals based on
traffic volumes and the average
time required for a veiiicle to
pass through the intersection.
But drivers wlio fail to start up
promptly when tlie light turns
green contribute to a ‘back-up*
of traffic which may extend over
the entire period of peak traffic
flow.”
Traffic signals timed in a “pro
gressive” manner also are mis
used, accotding to Hurd. “Im
patient drivers who exceed the
posted speed cause increased
hazard and delay for all traffic,
and gam little or nothing in
travel time.
Lane straddling, improper
many other
thoughtless acts by motorists
and pedestrians also help des-
the effectiveness of safety
and efficiency designed into the
road by the engineer," claims
Hurd.

WHEN SEWING AND IRONING
—Keep in mind these approved
methods of working and safe pro
cedures for using household
equipment;
Put pins and needles in pin cush
ions—never in mouth, clothes, or
in furniture.
Keep sharp objects out of your
lap when sewing.
Pass sharp objects to others with
handle first—never toss them.
Store scissors and other sharp
objects in holders or in a secure
place.
Keep fingers away from the path
of the sewing machine needle.
Use slow speed on electric sew
ing machine while learning to ope
rate it.
Know how to operate emergency
release on electric sewing ma
chine.
Arrange electric cord of ma
chine on the floor so it will not
cause anyone to stumble.
Turn off motor when sewing ma
chine is not in use.
Close sewing machine carefully
to avoid damaging electric cord.
When ironing, use a well-balanc
ed, rigid ironing hoard.
Keep hands away from the hot
area of the iron.
Place hot steam iron on its heel
when not in use.
Use nonflammable or treated
ironing board cover.
As the purse is emptied, the
heart is filled. — Hugo.

In an earlier column, I told about
the success Uuniversity of Californ
ia scientists were having with gar
lie juice as a control for. many bac
teria and fungus troubles. Now
comes asparagus juice to the fore
front.
Two scientists at the University
of Maryland, while making a state
wide survey of nematodes, found
that they had no use for asparagus
plants. Following this clue, they
discovered that just the plain juice
extracted from plants killed all
kinds of nematodes—root knot,
sting, stubby root and meadow.
They also found that the juice, ev
en in diluted concentration, gave
considerable protection from this
pest when poured around the roots
of tomato, plants. Further tests
showed that spraying the juice for
mulation on the leaves of the to
mato plants was even more effec
tive than root treatment (indicating
systemic properties).
While we are on subjects that
are new and compartively new, we>'
might discuss Perlite. This materi-j
al is manufactured from volcanic}
rock (lava) which has been expand
ed by heating. When the rock is
crushed and graded, it retains a
small amount of moisture. Upon
heating the water changes to steam
and explodes the particles into
small kernels. It is very light,
weighing 86 per cent less than
sand.
This material has many uses; ac-,,
coustical plaster, cement, etc., but
in horticulture it is used as a soil
conditioner, and in the propagating
medium for rooting cuttings. If
you want to try something new, use
equal parts of Perlite and peat, by
volume, for rooting cuttings, Some
times good sharp sand is hard to
obtain, so use Perlite as a substi
tute.
If you have a bad spot in your
yard or garden—one that is hard, -
stubborn and poorly aerated—work
some Perlite into it. It should im
prove the physical condition of the
soil and encourage better plant
growth.
