They Didn't Have to Change.

During the years in which our pure
food laws have been put into effect
there has been a great hurrying and
scurrying on the part Of the food man
ufacturers to change their methods to
make them conform to the law.
The Quaker Oats Company is con-
spicuous exception. 1t was admitted
that Quaker Oats was as pure and
clean as possible and that it was an
ideal food.
1t is so cheap that any one can af-
ford it and so nourishing that every
one needs 1t. The result Of last years
experiments at Yale and other points
where food values were tested is that
Quaker Oats has been adopted by
many persons as their food on which
they rely for adding vigor and endur-
ance Of muscle and brain.
The Quaker Oats Company meets
all demands in the way it packs

cause it is almost a complete preventa-

Flospo.
FlospO is fine, too, for furniture. pi-

Little Interest There.

Crown Point will have to don the
garb of a city before politics warm up
to compare with the excitement in its
sister cities over the coming municipal
elections. So far the interest has been
nominal with but few candidates for
the various town Offices coming to the
front and announcing their intention Of
entering the race, 1t is understood
that none OF the old board trustees are
willing TO serve again in that capacity
and not enough names have been Of
ficially announced as yet to fill the
three vacancies. Crown Point needs a
continuation of the progressive spirit
evinoed by the past board and great
care should be taken to select able and
efficient me nto carry out this policy.
An ice cream social VIII be held in
the Presbyterian church parlors this
evening and varied program of en-
tertainment has been prepared for thos~
attending. All are cordially invited to
attend.
