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-
verted 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.
If you are convenient to the store
you'll probably buy the regular size

Nearly 470 marksmen are expected
to face the traps in the grand Ameri-
can handicap, the classic of trap shoot
ing events. at the Chicago Gun club to-
day, post entries received by Secretary
Shaner having brought the field up to
more than that figure. Although this
total of entries is not so large as that
received for the big shoot of 1907 here
which was the largest in the history of
trap work. it is believed that more ac-
tual contenders will toe the mark than
on that occasion.
Practically every man entered this
year is on the grounds, while in 1907
many failed to appear, bringing the to-
tai number of actual contenders down
to about 435. For actual attendance al
any target shoot the present session is
believed likely to set an entirely new

Support of the Home Paper.

An appreciative view Of the home
newspaper is given in the Office Outfit
ter of Chicago, from which we make
the following extracts:
The local paper is the greatest thing
in the community. 1t should be sup
ported. Every dollar you take away
from the local newspaper IN schemes
and knocks hurts the town. 1t hurts
business, and, most of all, it hurts the
merchants who indulge in it,
Whatever else you merchants do, pa
tronize your home paper. Don't tell
me that it has a small circulation. Don't
tell me that you reach ten times as
many people with less expense using
circulars. Don't spring any OF those
time worn gags ON me al all. Stop
standing IN your own light Get be-
hind the local paper and push Il for all
you are worth don't mean push it
to the wall. Push il up grade 10 a po-
siton where it ought to be, and as sure
as you alive you will push your own
business up with ii 10 a point you never
dreamed OF before
When a man tells me that he reaches
more people and gets better results
from his circulars know that he is de-
ceiving himself and telling me what |
can prove to be untrue A newspaper
in the community is read by the people.
They learn to watch for II, and when
they get it every member of the family
wants his turn to see what II says.
Advs and all are read. Ii the mer-
chants of a community will educate the
people to look in the newspaper for
their announcements the people will
read the paper more and greater will
be the returns.
There is no alley SO long but that has
its ash barrels, and there is no knock SO
powerful or subtle but that 1t reacts.
DO yourself favor and keep up your
end by supporting the local newspaper,
and support it tor all you are worth
1t can be added that whatever the
local papers do to help their city or
town is of benefit to every business man
therein. Chelsea (Alass.) Record

Plan to Save the Game

The Legislative committee appoint
ed last year to investigate the Fish and
Game laws, and which has Just report
ed, made other recommendations than
those urging reorganization of the State
Fish and Game Commission, and sug-
gestng that its head should be a ma
turalst. In its report the declaration is
made that without exception every spc-
eies of game IN New Jersey has de-
creased fifty per cent. in the last fifteen
years. The report considers each group
Of game as classified in the game laws,
and is IN part as follows:
Except on some well-kept club
grounds in the southern section of the
State, from which the general public is
excluded, the number of quail remain
ing at the close of the hunting season
just past is hardly sufficient to increase
the species to the abundance desired in
several years, under the most favorable
circumstances
This condition exists after a cam
paign oil restocking carried on by the
Fish and Game Commission extending
over period OF years. This condition
clearly demonstrates that more birds
are killed in each open season than are
reared in the State The excess each
season is drawn from the stock of breed
ing birds which is constantly decreasing
from year To year
1t IS the opinion oil the committee
that by a careful adjustment OF the
open season 10 the supply OF game it
would be possible 10 throw the balance
ON the other side, and have the number
at birds remaining Al the end OF the
open season show 4 slight increment
over that left at the close OF the open
season previous. II should also be the
duty of the Fish and Game Commission
TO take charge OF this stock of birds,
and by judicious feeding, especially |
during severe Winters and stress of
storms, 10 see to it that they enter the
nesting season physically strong and
capable OF bringing forth vigorous
brood. This would not be difficult
task, Us the majority oil farmers are not
lacking i'll interest and stand ready 10
give a hel ping hand.
