- (continued from previous page)They partook of their meals, three times in the day. Breakfast in the morning at about eight o'clock, but they used do a few hours work before it. Dinner then at twelve o'clock and tea at six in the evening.If we used such kind of food to-day we would be far healthier and stronger. Our ancestors were always a self reliant, self respecting, self feeding, self clothing people."There is hone in the trees where her mist vales expand,
And her forests paths in Summer are by falling water's fanned,
There is dew in high moontide there and springs in the yellow sand, On the fair hills of "Holy Ireland".
