The first food OF the day.

Every man, woman and child begins
the day with more or less vigor of mind
and strength of body according to the
first food supplied to the stomach. The
best first dish of the day is bowl of
Quaker Oats. The stomach can assimi-
late it more quickly and with less effort
than other foods. There is little or no
waste and every ounce of food is con-
verified into muscle, vigor and brain
activity. The strongest people in the
world are the regular eaters of Quaker
Oats. You should eat it for breakfast
every day.
The regular size package of Quaker
Oats sells for 10c, the large family size
package comes at 25c and Soc.
