What These Breakfasts Eliminate

The sugar and cream from fruit and coffee and the butter from the toast--all of which are fat-forming foods. Toasting bread dexterizes the starch and thus helps the digestion of this starchy product.

Breakfast may be eaten from 7 to 8.30 A.M., and is so balanced that those who board or take their meals in restaurants may easily follow the diet. Now, during the warm weather, it is most important to eat lightly during the noon period, and for this reason a light luncheon will be provided. Those who are employed in sedentary occupations should partake of a milk and egg shake, or chocolate egg and milk; and this will be sufficient until the evening meal.
