THE STRATFORD MIRROR | FRIENDSHIP "If you walk as a friend you will find a friend wherever you choose to fare; If you go with mirth to a far strange land you will find that mirth is there; For the strangest part of this queer old world is that like will join with like; And who walks with love for his fel- low-man an answering love' will strike. * * * BREAKFASTS (by Mrs. Rorer.) How.can one train a man to eat as | he should? The more one learns about | breakfasts of the majority, the more one wonders how they live to be 50 years of age. I doubt if any business man can eat three big meals a day for | 50 years and be mentally and physic- ally well. | A cup or two of well-made coffee, and a slice of toast should be quite) enough for the person who eats a lun- cheon. If by the way, he eats only an | apple or a bowl of crackers and milk | or soup for luncheon, let him have * good breakfast. I am objecting not to any one meal, | but to so many meals. In some coun- tries where I have lived they eat five | times a day. But the whole five meal; are not equal in quantity to our three. ; We eat so much heavy and shall I) say coarse foods, that one's digestive, apparatus is sluggish and slow. I fre-| quently notice how dull and sleepy} these "well-fed" persons are, as soon as they sit down; they cannot keep awake even for a good entertainment. Sometimes I think the reason they go to the movies, where it is dark, is so no one can see them sleep. There is no reason whatever for ignorance in selecting foods and arranging meals in thes edays. Every paper and magazine tells of the bet- ter ways. Our grandmothers, no not even our mothers, had such helps. Some, now, are paying the penalty, for this very lack. I wish every one of the readers could know and ap- preciate the volume of work that has been done by the scientists along these lines. There are studies to not only promote health, but to prevent disease. Children now have better begin- nings than we older ones could have. Our mothers did. not have the help that we have. But there is still a great work to be done, especially in the country districts, where the mother is overtaxed with housework and has little time to read. Simplicity in all things make up the life of all thinking persons. I notice that the Business and Pro- fessional Women's League have ad- mitted housewives to the league. Why not? Housekeeping in these days is not only a profession but an art. = * = Suggestions for Breakfast.
