BREAKFAST SHOULD BE A GOOD MEAL Are you a Dagwood Bumstead, grabbing a cup of coffee for break- fast and dashing out the door? What 'did you have for breakfast this morning? Orange, juice and cof-- fee? Maybe just toast and coffee. Per- haps nothing at all? That's a bad hab- it, according to the Health League of Canada. Between dinner and breakfast is the longest 4-ap in time that comes be- tween any meals and when you get up in the morning your stomach is nearly empty. Therefore, it is pointed out, you have no food to call on as a source of energy all morning, and your work and all your activities will suffer. The Health League advises a fruit or fruit juice first for breakfast. Next, you should have either *cereal with milk or cream or some cooked dish of eggs or meat, like sausage or bac- on with or without pancakes. Toaster whole wheat bread is better than ord- inary white 'bread, because it has more Vitamin 13, One of the most important foo.: el- ements in breakfast, for adults and children both, says the .experts, is mills, Plenty of it should be available for cereals or cocoa or .just to take plain, along with the above-suggested food, -DONNYBROOK The W.
