Why We Are Stronger.

The old Greeks and Romans were
great admirers of health and strength;
their pictures and statuary made the
muscles of the men stand out like
cords.
As q matter of fact we have ath-
letes and strong men-men fed on
fine strength making food such as
Quaker Oats-that would win in any
contest with the old Roman or Greek
champions.
It's a matter OF food. The finest food
for making strength OF bone, muscle
and nerve Is fine oatmeal. Quaker
Oats is the best because 1t is pure, no
husks or stems or black specks. Farm
ers' wives are finding that BY feeding
the farm hands plentifully on Quaker
Oats they get the best results In work

What Elizabeth Missed.

cIOHl tnc Mtulpuip NoWo'oOimsoA'
Our Secretary of Agriculture, Hon.
James Wilson, recently declared, "The
average laborer is now living better than
did Queen Elizabeth in her time"
In many respects, yes. We have ac-
quired great many comforts that the
good Bess never dreamed of. She had
many palaces, but not one Of them was
fit for the modern family of moderate
income to inhabit. They had big rooms
and rugs, tapestries, and the like, but in
winter the fireplaces smoked, and In
summer flies and other pests abounded.
There were no heating apparatus, no
wire screens, no toilet apartments, no
elevators. When the head of the state
wished to take a bath a big tub was
hauled In, and in this she abluted.
When she set out on voyage, the
vehicle, finest of its kind, was big,
springless, heavy, awkward, jolting con-
traption, without speed or any of the
comforts. When she rode 1t was on a
bum old forerunner Of saddle or on
the pillion behind her lord treasurer or
some other accommodating statesman.
Shoes in those days we're uncomfortable
and lily made The postal service was
poorly organized, and the telegraph and
telephone were not invented. Cooking
was done on gross scale. Whole animals
were roasted on spits and great hunks
we're carved or torn off and set before
royalty in that shape as before others.
There was no running water in the
homes and the old oaken bucket was the
medium through which thirst was
quenched.
They had q sort of ale or malmsey
which was good enough for the times,
but as Milwaukee had not then become
famous and Kentucky was an unexplored
region, the very best ever never touched
her royal lips nor lifted up her queenly
spirits.
She missed great deal. But withal
she seems to have enjoyed life In her
free and easy way. She had fawning
courtiers and lovers and brilliant society.
When times were dull she would give
block parties, taking her friends over to
the Tower to witness the official elision
of some former favorite's head.
There were no airships to distract her
attention from her queenly duties.
There were no automobiles to force her
to gather up her right royal petticoats
and scam per scared half to death across
the streets. There were no trolley cars
with straps upon which she was forced
to hold when returning tired from
shopping trip. There we're no trusts to
fix, at their sweet will, the prices she
must pay for what she would eat or
wear. She missed the breakfast food
age. She did not have to dodge any
camera fiends whenever she went out for
constitutional nor avoid moving pic
ture takers when on royal trips through
the dominions. There we're no such
things in those days as appendicitis and
pellagra. The awful bacilla and mi
crobes which the scientists find nova
days in everything from drinking mugs
to kisses, had not come to warn US of
deaths ceaseless lurkiDgs.
Taking all in all, while admitting that
the well-paid working man of to-day has
very many comforts, we must insist that
Queen Elizabeth had much to be thank
full for, and missed some things for
which she should have been thankful
had she only known.

as for the latter, she made no move.
The door Of the cab remained closed
like its occupants mind, a mystery to
the watcher.
Twilight shadows heightened, dark
ling, over the land. Street lights
flashed up in long, radiant ranks. And
still the hacre fingered in inaction;
still the driver lorded 1t aloft in care
free abandon.
In the course of time this inertia
where he had looked for action, this
dull suspense when he had forecast
interesting developments, wore upon
the watchers nerves and made him
at once impatient and suspicious. Now
that he had begun to doubt he con-
ceived 1t as quite possible that Mrs.
Hallam. who was capable Of anything,
should have stolen out Of the cab by
the other and to him invisible door.
To resolve the matter finally he took
advantage Of the darkness, turned up
his coat collar. hunched up his shoul-
ders, hid his hands In pockets, pulled
the visor of his cap well forward over
his eyes and slouched past the iacre.
Mrs. Hallam sat within. He could
see her profile clearly silhouetted
against the light. She was bending
forward and staring fixedly out Of the
window across the driveway. Mental
