Care In Preparing Food.

In recent years scientists have

ured largely BY its purity the re.
sult is the most stringent pure food
laws that have ever been known.
One food that has stood out promi-

food and which was as pure before
the enactment Of these laws as it
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
