Importance of Breakfast

By Herman N. Bundesen. M. D. A RECENT survey of more than one thousanud accidents in a certain industrial plant showed that the greateat number occurred between 11:00 a m and 12:00 noon And why should that be? Well, many industrial health authorities think that th!** may have something to do with the fact that there are too many workers who neglect anting a sufficient amount of the proper foods tor breakfast. Years ago. breakfast was made up of w variety of foods, l»ut gradually more and more people have cut down not only on th amount of food they consume at breakfast but also the quality of foot! and now there are far too many who do not eat enough to keep them alert for the work they are doing. Morning Accidents This not only lias meant high accident rates during morning hours, but a lower efficiency rale as well. Surveys have shown that many workers do not eat any breakfast at all. In addition, many of them have to travel long distances to get to* work and the trip alone may take as much out of a ’fMMTMOII as working for one or two) hours. In some tMUncen. breakfact is no mon* than a cup of coff* e and a slice of toast, but even breakfasts Hart arc •‘heavier" often do not Include enough of the right kind of foods. •ew*w?w»ww ary- sis ■ s»w w> •

In her mod recent exchanges with the other Allies, v specially nn unpleasant dispute with Britain, she has yielded io an unexpected degree, —o Journalism, which languished in JaiMti until MacArthur let the light In. now seem* to lie thriving. Au item from Tokyo gives the ratlur surprising information that in five months from the surrender of Japan. M new newspapers have started publication. Unfortunately the Japanese language is so difficult that a great <1 al of study is required to muster it. But very likely Gen. MacArthur will surmount that obstacle too. in time, by seeing that the natives are provided with a n w and much simpler alphabet. If so. his immortality in that part ot the world will be assured. O—<) The American Fat Salvage Committee expr-sses thanks to housewives for their imrtii ipation and response in saving cooking fata. In 42 months, ending last December 31. more than tit’O million jmuiid* of fats were collected, equal to one cake of soap per pe>son per month for the period. Commenting further, the committee said, "Certainly, consistent advertising ph yeti an important part, but equally potent factoi has been the magnificent help you have given the program in your news anti editorial columns.'* —- ()--()—- Lincoln's Birthday Lincoln Just missed day* of turmoil as vexing as any today. Dying when the final victory was in sight but not quite completed, he had hir plan for the restoration of the Union atui the peae fui winding up of the war. His plan was not that of tin- t ongrt-t-sional leaders. some of whom were men out for the blood of the South. Some -ven wanted to divide up the South into military districts, wiping out date lines, and keep them permanently es conquered areas. All these designs President Johnson, Lincoln's succ-sor. fought valiantly. He managed to stave off some of the worst. Lincoln would have taken the -une stand, but Lincoln, through iiis prestige and his wisdom, would leave had an easier time. Th Lincoln legend may have furthered by these: days of st res-, when the martyred president was sorely missed. For that matter, in uny time- of (rouble the nation will not suffer if it follows Lincoln.- prin- < iplc-s of justice and charily.

Iloulili Hervlce, the simple basic breakfast which every person might follow with benefit from infancy up includes fruit, cereal, egg. milk, bread and butler. If additional food is required it may be supplied by breskUM meats or larger portions of the foods mentioned. Many nutrition authorities seem agreed that from one-fourth to one-third of the amount of food consumed each day should be eaten wt breakfast. This is recommend <1 not only for Industrial workers but for all persons. Esrtlsr Rising Arising ten minutes earlier than usual, eating a good breakfast mid having time to g< t to work or school without stress or ntiain or rush will mean not only fewer actridents and better work hut more energy und more enjoyment of living. Many wom-n and girls who may Im* attempting to lone weight think that a good way of doing ft Is to cut out breakfast, but bieakfust is ap important meal and should not be omitted. Three regular weli-buianced meals a day Is the best way of maintaining strength and vitality. This means tiiat the meals shall supply all the necessary food parts --proteins, carbohydrates, Ms, vitamins, and minerain And. by ail means, do not neglect breakthat! (Copyright. IMd.
