As an all-American breakfast favor­ ite, it probably stacks higher than any other single food. Did you ever hear of anyone who didn't like toast? Well, neither have I. But I hot you never guessed' just why toast tastes so good the very first thing in the morning1— Yes, it’s hot and it’s crunchy, and its flavor is delicious with your breakfast coffee, tea, or cocoa — it’s a swell excuse for jam or marma­ lade, too. But these aren’t the real reasons you crave your morning toast, you know.- The fact of the matter, sb nutritionists tell us, is that toast is an energy-food (some­ thing you need to get going), that sits extremely easily on an empty stomach (something you have at 7 A.M.). ‘ / According to Dr. James A. Tobey, prominent health authority, toast is one of our best and most easily digested forms of energy food. What's more, it agrees With prac­ tically everyone. This combination of energy-elements and easy diges­ tibility explains, too, why toast has long been on the preferred food list for children and invalids* For Reducing , When you want to lose Weight, toast Is an Ideal food in your reduc­ ing diet just remember to go lightly on the Jam and the butter. Tire average slice of dry white, whole wheat, or rye toast contains ohly 65 to 70 calories, in case you’re counting them, Yet its mineral and protein content supply you with valuable nutriments that you need for good health. Make it Correctly Many people are just as particu­ lar about the way their breakfast toast it made, as they are About the length of time their eggs are boiled. So here are a few tips on making toast come out the way it’s wanted: Soft, golden toast: use very fresh bread, toast quickly at high heat; spread immediately with softened butter. Crisp, brown toast: use fresh bread, toast slowly at moderate heat; butter immediately. Dry, crunchy toast: Use bread at least a day old, toast slowly at lew heat; butter each slice as eaten. Serve It Right If you bring your electric toaster right to the table, you can have the luxury of toast piping hot without a bit of worry. If the toast is made in the kitchen, however, arrange it on a plate in a tow of overlapping slices; covet with a folded tea napkin, and place ill a warm oven until ready to serve. Leave the crusts on for breakfast toast. And never stack it Or it will steam and become soggy, if it isn’t eaten at once. “On Toast” Specials Ideal for snappy mornings are "on toast” breakfast specials! Butter slices of toast, leave the Crusts on if you wish, arrange on a platter of individual plates, and then heap tho toast high with fluffy scrambled eggs, hot creamed chipped beef, Creamed codfish, creamed finnan baddie. w » * To learn more about toast reducing diets, send a postal Department of Nutrition, 1135 Ful­ lerton Avenue, Chicago, lit, tor them Interesting free booklet, “The Right W to Right Weight?* Mt
