HEARTY BREAKFAST IS O. K.

French Medical Professor Urges Europeans to Follow Example of Americans. Bordeaux, France. —The American breakfast of ham and eggs,, liver and bacon, beefsteak or other meat, vege-table»-and porridge, as a substitute for the meager European morning meal, is recommended for France by Doctor Bergonie, professor of the Bordeaux" medical faculty. Doctor Bergonie regards this substitution as one of the reforms most likely to relieve the economic situation, by providing rational nourishment and avoiding a great deal of waste. He bases his argument on the fact that man requires sustenance most at the beginning of the day when he is about to make his effort, whereas in Europe he takes his principal meal when his day’s work is half through, when he is half tired out and is Incapable of so digesting his meal as to give him proper support for the rest of the day’s work.
