WHAT IS A GOOD BREAKFAST?

THE COMMON BOND OP BACON. What makos a good breakfast? asked tho "Daily Mail'" recently. The question arise? out of the refusal of twenty attendants. at an asylum near Livorpool to start their work one morning, because they were served with porridge instead of meat. From, inquiries mado it is evident that' British breakfast,tables of all classes are firmly knit together by a common bond of bacon. Many prominent people support bacon. "A cup of coffee, a' littlo bacon, and some mannalade is the idoal breakfast for the business man with largo interests and much work to get through," said Mr. ' H. Lawrie, manager of Whiteley's, Limited; "it is neither too light nor- too heavy."

1 'Bacon - for tho brain-worker," says Mr. Charles Garvice. "I always have toasted bacon and a baked apple, sometimes a little; fish. Porridge and other farinaceous foods are generally unsuitable for the brain-worker; not on© literary, man in fifty can eat porridge:" A prominent -Scotland Yard official said that, while ho himself , always breakfasted off some dry toast and weak tea, the polico forco with a bard day's work before them generally breakfasted substantially. Bacon, of courso, but for ■ionio reason policemen are very prone to musages. ~ '

"A suitable breakfast menu for the brain-worker," said a doctor on the staff of,a great London hospital, "would be something on these lines: —A little fresh fruit, one or two soft-boiled eggs, some lmrd, thoroughly-cooked toast with butter, ono large or two small cups of tea.". "Very light breakfasts are a latter-day fad which has no scientific justification," said another physician, A third physician took quite the oppositeview. "Breakfast is a habit, ana a bad habit."
