Long ago the Scotch learned this.

The sturdy old Scotchman must be
amused at the recent discoveries that
oatmeal is the best food in the world
Our scientific men have been making
experiments which prove that Amerl-
cans eat too much fat and grease and
not enough cereals.
The Scotchmen say: Look at our
nation as proof. The sturdiest nation
on earth" Still we have one good point
to make. We make better oatmeal than
the Scotch.
They buy Quaker Oats and consider
it the leader of all oatmeals to be had
anywhere. Quaker Oats is sold in fam
lily size packages at Csc or at Ue ior
the package containing a piece OF hne
china. The regular size package sells
at l0c. Follow the example OF inc
Scotch; eat a Quaker Oats breakfast
every day.
All groeers sell Quaker Oats.

Artificial Coffee Factories.

According to the statistics Of

factories turn out $4,000 tons annu-

This is Assertion Not Proof

We spoke the other day of the in
creasing tendency on the part of our
legislators to be liberal with appro-
priations and salaries on the ground
that the corporations foot the bills
and emphasized that milking corpor-
ations" would drive from the state
capital that would otherwise help de-
velop our natural resources. The
Banner called for instances and we
replied, as we thought, with consider
able explicitness, but the Banner In
commenting upon our editorial says:
IF the Free Press wishes to prove
it's charge, why doesn't it give some
specific instances? Mere say so does
not make a case, and if there is a
tendency, as charged, there must be
some evidence to support the charge
Give us the evidence, not an insinu-
alton"
We think the esteemed Banner
must have overlooked one passage in
our reply which read:
1--WE have in mind two different
syndicates already interested in Yer
mont with which the editor of the
Free Press in another capacity dis
cussed the matter of developing GER
tain projects in this state, and the
chief objections urged to the PROPOSE
lions were the disposition manifested
particularly by the last legislature, so
largely increase expenses every two
years and force new and struggling
corporations to help bear the burden

DR., MEAD S LEADERSHIP

The state senate, over which Lieu
tenant-Governor Mead presided, pass
ed bills covering every plank Of the
state platform Mead was the presi-
dent of the senate and had something
to do with this record His personal
leaders on the floor had great deal
more TO do with them. This is more
than the house can say with It's
wealth of leaders.-Rutland Herald.
When did the senate over which
Lieutenant Governor Mead presided
pass a bill exempting from trustee
process wages to the amount of ten
dollars as promised by the platform
When did the senate over which
Mead presided pass bill taking the
appointment of license commissioners
out of the hands of the judges as call
ed for by the platform?
When did the senate presided over
by DR. Mead pass an employers liza
bility bill, which was one of the chief
planks of the Republican platform?
When did the Senate with Dr.. Mead
at its head pass a bill which would
put the public under the same liabil-
ity to working men in its service as
in the case of private employ
ers, as demanded by the platform?
When did the senate pass a bill to
make lawful tax a debt which may
be collected whenever the evidence
shall appear as demanded by said
platform?
When did the senate pass a bill to
and expedite legal procedure,
to relieve the higher courts of trivial
cases and make the administration Of
justice more speedy and economical
as was at least an implied demand Of
the platform?
Not all of these bills were passed
by the house but considerable num-
Der of them were, only to be turned
down by the senate over which Lieu
tenant Governor Mead presided.
Where was his mighty influence and
leadership on these occasions?
