BREAKFAST IS A MEAL THAT RE
QUIRES SPECIAL" ATTENTION -
Breakfasts Should Have VarietyA
Suggestion for Seven Balanced
Breakfasts for the Farm Home
-pv REAKFAST : sometimes receives
l ii'ftiA nr no consideration for the
u reason that when the evening
meal is over we are tired of the, sight
and the thought of foods.' In .the
morning we sleep as late as possible,
theri rise to gather to the table that
which can be prepared with as little .
planning ana time as possiuic
Tt i rpallv a mistake on. our part
to give littje consideration to the
flrcf ni the dav. Breakfast is
.often the only really nourishing meal
the child gets, for the reason that the
noon one ma be a school lunch and
supper light that the child may sleep
better. We are wise if we make- it
our business to see that the food for
breakfast is nourishing but veryeasi
ly digested. This is particularly true
of the breakfast for school children
and others who are doing indoor,
brain work. The big, strong man out
in the field can , perhaps manage the
breakfast ot sucn very neavy iooa
it true that the ten minutes are moSt
effective when spent the day pefore
rather than "just arbreakfast. time?

SHE was ready to sleep, and she lay on
my arm,' ,
In her little frilled cap so fine,
With her golden hair hanging out at the
Like a circle of noon sunshine,
And I hummed the old tune of Banbury
Orosd ''
And Three Men Who Put Out to Sea;
When she sleepily said as she closed her
blue eyes; :
"Papa, what would you take for me?"
And I answered: "A dollar, dear little
heait,"
And she slept, baby-weary with play,.
But I held her warm in my, love-strong
- arms, ;
And I locked her and rocked away.
Oh, the dollar meant all the world to me,
- The land and the sea and the sky,
The lowest depth of the lowest place,
The highest of all that's high.
All the cities, with streets and palaces,
With the people and stores of art,
I would not take for one low, soft throb
Of my little one's loving heart;
Nor all the gold that was ever found
In the busy, wealth-finding past
'Would I take for one 'smile of my dar
ling's face, v r - ;
, Did I know it must be the last.
So I rocked my baby and rocked""away,
And I felt such a sweet content, '
For the words of the song , expressed
' more to me . .
Than they ever before had meant.
And the night crept on, and I slept and
dreamed , . ' .' . ?
Of things far too glorious to be, r
And I wckened with Hps saying close In
my ear, - : " j -
"Papa, what would you take for me?"

a Colt and putit away against that pos.

mother or sisters that a Colt is not to be'
feared. Let them know that this pistol,
while it shoots like a flash, can be kept
under a pillow fully cocked; it cannot be
discharged until you grip the grip and
pull the trigger simultaneously. Its auto.
matic safety device compels you to do this.
The Colt was .adopted by the Army and

, Not only should the breakfasts wr
I prepare be nourishing and easily , di
gested, but they should have variety.
This is not half as difficult a problem
as it sounds when we once get into the
habit of setting aside a little of this
or .of. that after dinner or supper for
use in, tomorrow breakfast. Let us
see; that each member of the family
has a drink of good fresh water be
fore breakfast, ;We ; suggest seven
fairly well balanced -breakfasts for
various seasons'of the year: Besides,
it we have them all one day we can
not have variety. The same reasons
hold good for , having but one hot
bread for breakfast.
The English have a custom that is
founded on very good knowledge buT"
that .has not found general favor
here. They take a very little orange
marmalade and toast as a last course.
The mild bitter, of the marmalade
stimulates the digestive juices, the
sugar is a quick source of bodily heat
and energy, and as I once heard it
expressed, "It takes the taste of
breakfast out of a man's mouth "
And last, but not least, don't you
it-1- it. "
lauiK mai i nc lime we spend in Hav
ing the room " warm and well-aired
and the table dainty and fresh is time
well spent? Ten minutes a day will
mane tne amerence between care and
carelessness, but have you not found
fores. Why the fruit? To give the
mouth a clean feeling. 'This the fruit
acids accomplish through their. action
on the secretions of the mouth and
stomach. The fruit acids prepare the
stomach for the foods that follow. :
Why the cereals ? They contain
nourishment and bulk Jn an easily
digested form, if the cereals are well
cooked. Why eersrs. creamed fish.
lamb,-etCi? Because -they-are- nour
ishing and are not' tough. Why do
we have only one starchy food? ' Be
cause rice, grits, hominy, Irish pota
toes, etc., are the same thing, namely
starch, and look and taste but a little
different. To -have them all at nnp
meal means a useless expenditure of
strength in preparing them and in
wasning up after them. ; ': '
