THE PERFECT BREAKFAST Cooking
Do Justice To Those Pancakes
By JUDITH WILSON
IF you want the man of the house to sit down to a real breakfast for a change, then you must try serving him one. Buttered buckwheat cakes, hot off the griddle, sprinkled with shaved. maple sugar-there's a breakfast treat that no man can resist. If maple sugar is not available, use lumpy brown sugar, minple syrup, honey, marmalade. fruit jam, or what have you.
Griddle cakes are most appetising when served quickly en hot, in- dividual plates. The griddie should be heated slowly and not allowed to get too hot. When cold water drop- ped on it forms dancing bubbles, the Lemperature is right. For the type of griddle that needs greasing. use unsalted fat.
To make round griddle cakes, take enough batter in a spoon to make one cake. Pour batter from the tip of the spoon in a steady stream, allowing room between cakes to pre- vent their joining. Cakes are ready to be turned when evenly covered with bubbles. Be sure of this, as they should be turned only once. When brown on the bottom, they are done and should be served imme- diately,

We Can't Be Healthy When We're Nervous

By CLAUD NORTH CHRISMAN, M,D.
HAVE often wondered how many of the world's tragedies have come to pass because someone had a "queer" streak, which his family or friends thought only an idiosyncrasy, or turn of temperament.
