Care In Preparing Food.

In recent years scientists have
proved that the value of food is meas
ured largely by its purity; the re-
suit rs the most stringent pure food
laws that have ever been known.
One food that has stood out promi-
nently as a perfectly clean and pure
food and which was as pure before
the enactment OF these laws as 1t
could possibly be is Quaker Oats;
conceded by the experts to be the ideal
food for making strength of muscle
and brain. The best and cheapest OF
all foods. The Quaker Oats Company
is the only manufacturer OF oatmeal
that has satisfactorily solved the prob
lem of removing the husks and black
specks which are so annoying when
other brands are eaten.
For hot climates Quaker Oats is

A Wireless Triumph,

A transatlantic liner is rammed off the
New England coast in dense fog and is
soon discovered to be sinking. Her pas
sengers, numbering 461, are in grave
peril. Knowing that he is not many
miles from land and in the path of ocean
traffic, the commander sends forth a sig
nal of distress by wireless" The etheric
vibrations pulse in all directions over the
waste In few minutes they are caught
by the sensitive instruments on ship and
shore and soon help is speeding for the
sinking vessel Two Atlantic liners and
two revenue cutters engage, unconscious
ly in a race, and one of the latter wins
Every passenger and member of the
crew is saved. The officers of the COM
pany are notified by the commander of
his plight before help comes, so that no
time is lost in planning the provision of
means for continuing the voyage of those
passengers who wish to proceed
1t is impossible to estimate the number
OF human lives that might have been
saved If wireless communications had
been possible a quarter of century
earlier. Doubtless many hundreds OF
people have persisted because it was i'm
possible to summon help. Now a liner
not equipped to send forth impulses of in
formation and question is not regarded as
properly fitted for service. The shore is
dotted with stations, and messages are
streaming back and forth in all direc-
tons. Washington picks up Key West
and chats for time. Then maybe a
steamer running down the coast gets
within the radius and it Is possible for
those at sea to learn Of the weather con-

The Navy and Japan.

The two new battleships voted by the
House yesterday should be approved by
the Senate. Those who favored them
gave excellent reasons. We need the
ships in our plans for a larger navy. A
larger navy is demanded by the general
considerations of our national growth. our
greater responsibilities and the naval In
creases of other nations.
This action IS not interpretable as a step
toward war. with given antagonist and
date in view. 1t is not the product of
the Japanese scare. The proposition
would have carried without that. 1t sig
nifes that public sentiment is behind Of
fetal recommendations in this matter. The
people believe that the navy should be
increased in size and literally supported,
and the representatives who voted aye in
the House yesterday supported their
wishes.
AS for the Japanese scare, it seems to
have been checked. The latest and best
development iii the premises is the ac-
tivity of the commercial bodies and in
dividuaI business interests of California
working in connection with the President
The legislature has been memorialized as
follows by prominent business men of
San Francisco:
During our visit 10 Japan We paid
particular attention to the question of
Japanese Immigration, and from what We
ascertained we are strongly of the opinion
that the emperor and the government of
Japan are acting in absolute good faith
regarding the restriction of Japanese i'm
migration to the United States.
We firmly believe that any action by
the legislature which Is directed at the
Japanese residents of this state will be
taken as an affront by the entire Japanese
nation.

ports of this state has assumed large pro-
