Taking Care Of Yourself.

There never was q time when peo-
pie paid as much attention to their
health and strength as they do now.
Time was when fine stock and fine
horses were fed more carefully than
human beings.
The result of properly balanced ra-
tons has worked wonders with stock
and recent experiments are proving
that the same thing is true of man
kind.
It has been found that Quaker Oats
eaten often and regularly taking the
place of heavy, greasy foods will work
wonders in the health and strength Of
a family.
School children fed frequently on
Quaker Oats thrive physically and are
always capable of the best work at
school, For athletes, laborers, it is
the best food. One of the attractive
features of Quaker oats is the perfect
way 1t is packed. Besides the regular
size package there is the large size
family package. 10
