The Best Food for Workers.

The best food for those who work
with hands or brain is never high
priced.
The best example of this is found in
Quaker Scotch Oats. 1t stands at the
top among foods that supply nourish-
ment and vigor, without taxing the d.
gestion. and yet 1t is the least expen-
sive food one can eat.
This great food value and low cost
make 1t an ideal food for families who
want to get the greatest good from
what they eat.
Laborers. factory or farm hands. fed
plentifully on Quaker Scotch Oats will
work better and with less fatigue than
II fed on almost any other kind OF
food. All of these facts were proved
and very interesting information
about human foods were gathered by
Professor Fisher of Yale University In
1908. In addition to the regular pack
age Quaker Scotch Oats is packed In

THE DIFFERENCE
Coffee Usually Means Sickness, But
Postum Always Means Health.

Those who have never tried the ex-
pertinent of leaving OF coffee and
drinking Postum in its place and in
this way regaining health and happi-

ence OF others who have made the
trial.
One who knows says: 'T drank cof-
fee for breakfast every morning until
I had terrible attacks Of Indigestion
