TOMORROW 4th ANNIVERSARY SALE See Tomorrow's Paper for the GREATEST SALE BARGAINS In Twenty-four Years Store Closed All Day Friday S. FERRIS 505 East Sixth Street PRACTICAL HOUSEKEEPING -byFlorence Austin Chase What sort of a breakfast did you have this morning? Was it a "heavy" one, requiring great deal of blood in the stomach for its digestion? If gO, it is safe to say you did not get down to real work until well along in the middle of the forenoon. The brain, like every other organ, demands for its work an abundance of healthy blood, and there is no part of the body which is more sensitive to any impoverishment of that fluid. On the other hand, any oversupply of food must be equally unfavorable to mental work. A large amount of food requires a large amount of work on part of the digestive organs, and that in turn requires a large expenditure of nervous energy and blood.

But If more blood is required in the abdomen (for digestion), there must be less for the brain and the activity of the latter declines. Whether the breakfast of the brain worker shall be very light, light or medium depends upon whether the noon meal is to be ample or light. The very light breakfast consists of fruit, toast or bread in some form and a beverage. The light breakfast is the same as the above with the addition of a cereal with milk or cream. The medium breakfast is the same as the light breakfast with the addition of eggs or meat.

The heavy breakfast is not for the brain worker, but should be reserved for the man doing manual labor. The meat selected by the brain worker should be that which is most easily digested broiled lamb chop, broiled steak, roast beef rare, crisp bacon and the like. Avoid all fired meats and all fried foods in general. Eggs are easy of digestion there are numberless ways of introducing them into the dietary so that they need never become monotonous. Milk is a valuable source of protein Ands not should only be supplied nourishing in in itself, abundance.

but its composition is such that when taken in conenction with other foodstuffs of either animal or vegetable BRAIN WORKERS. origin it corrects their dietary deficitncies. An abundance of fresh green vegetables should also be included in brain worker's diet--especially those of the variety. These vegetables may be eaten raw as a salad with an oil dressing or cooked and seasoned with salt and pepper and an oil or melted fat, or, if preferred, they may be served with a cream sauce. Milk, eggs and the leafy vegetables are known as "protective foods" and should never be omitted from the diet.

Fruit, raw or cooked, should be included in at least one meal a day. Constipation, the bane of most persons of sedentary habits, should be guarded against, or overcome, by the inclusion of fruit in abundance in the dietary. Entire wheat, bread, bran muffins or a spoonful bran with the breakfast cereal, will be found beneficial in overcoming this trouble. The hearty meal of the day should be taken at the end of the day's work. For the night worker this would in the morning.

Time should be allowed for digestion before retiring. Brain workers -and this includes not only the people who are working in offices, but students as well, should never "skip a meal." This is frequentdone, especially by girls. Their ly excuse is that they "haven't time to eat anything and get to the office or class on time." If there is little time to eat, a glass of milk will supply nourishment and is easy of digestion. On the whole, three meals a found best. When a meal is omitbe ted, there is danger of overeating at the next meal, with its consequent digestive disturbance.
