We estimate that the requirements

II Is, therefore, evident that before

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 is the most stringent pure food
laws that have ever been known.
One food that has stood out promi-
nently as perfectly clean and pure
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
lem Of removing the husks and black
specks which are so annoying when
other brands are eaten. II you are

Some Feats That Will Test the Strength

and Agility.
There are various feats that may be
performed i'm q small room without
any injury to furniture. To lie fiat on
the floor OH ones back and be lifted
into an upright position by Il pair OF
hands under the back Of the head.
keeping the body perfectly rigid all til"
time. is favorite accomplishment.
Another is to bend over and touch the
floor with the tips Of the fingers with
out bending the knees.
Another is. keeping your feet behind
Il line, to see who. by stretching along
the ground supported on the left hand
only, can place IL penny with the right
hand the farthest distance and get
back again to an upright position be-
hind the line without moving the feet
or using the right hand for support.
This done, the penny must be recover
ed in the same way.
Another feat is. keeping your feet to-
gether and one arm behind you, to see
how far back from the wall II Is posi-
bic to place your feet remembering
that you have 10 rise to an upright po-
sition again). while you lean forward
supported by the other hand laid fiat
against the wall In front Of you.
Another is to keep the toes to line
and kneel down and get up again with

against the wall with his heels touch
ing it and. laying dollar on the floor

Another impossible thing Is to stand

Nof the Usual Romance.

Recently one of our most fastidious
young men bought pair of overalls and
found in them the name of the sewing
girl who made them. He very promptly
wrote her letter with all the ELUSIVE
ness necessary in such case and in due
time received reply, which, however,
was void of the romance usual in such
cases. Here it is: 81 am working girl,
1t is true, but make good living and |
do not care to support husband, as
would do if l married some silly noodle
who gets mashed on girl he never saw.

that when I do marry, if ever, it will be

Certain people seem to arouse the
spirit of arguing in each other. Some.
times they are husband and wife; some
times they are friends or merely ac-
quaintances. 1t usually begins when
the people are involved in situations
where their interests clash. So they
argue about those interests. Gradually
the state of mind excited by arguing be.
comes fixed. 1t makes the people argue
even when there is no clash of interest
