Every farmers wife knows what tre- mendous appetites farm hands usually have; but while they eat well they work well, too.
 Here's q good suggestion about feed ing farm hands. Give them plenty of Quaker Scotch Oats. A big dish of Quaker Oats porridge with sugar and cream or milk is the greatest break fast in the world for a man who needs vigor and strength for long days work The man that eats Quaker Scotch Oats plentifully and often is the man who does good work without excessive fatigue. There is a sustain ing quality in Quaker Scotch Oats not found in other foods, and for economy it is at the head of the list To meet needs of those in different climates Quaker Scotch Oats is packed in regu- lar size packages and dramatically sealed tins; the latter for hot climates.

EAR "SPECTACLES"

It is possible that, with science spe. calizing on all parts of the body, ear "spectacles" may be invented
 Certain nerves and muscles which operate inyoluntarily serve to tighten the eardrum and to adjust it's sensi- tiveness to varying tones and degrees of sound, just as the nerves and mus cles of the eye adjust that organs for color and form. Minor defects of adjustment are thought to account for the so-called hardness" of hearing, for inability to appreciate musical tones, and even for those cases of supposed deafness where the subject can distinguish words spoken in certain tones, irrespective of the volume of the sound.
 The audicle, if it can be devised. will be some instrument which, just as spectacles modify images until they are perfectly adapted to the defective vision, will modify sounds and adapt them to the faulty hearing.
