Eating for Strength.

The greatest pleasure to be de-
rived from eating is the pleasure one
gets in the knowledge that his food is
giving him greater strength and vi
tally.
Because of this fact there is a con-
slant increase in the consumption Of
Quaker Oats; every time the strength
making qualities of Quaker Oats have
been tested by scientific investigation
or by experiments in families it has
been found to be a food without an
equal.
1t builds the muscles and brain with
out taxing the digestive organs; it
costs so little anyone can afford it,
and it is so carefully prepared and
packed that 1t is absolutely pure and
clean. A Quaker Oats eating family
is always a healthy family. II
Quaker Oats is packed in regular
size packages and also in large size
family packages. The latter very con
venient for those not near the store.

The phosphorescence of certain

THANKSGIVING DAY
canada's Day Of Thanks a Month Ear.
ller Than In the United States.


For some reason better known to
he Canadians themselves than to the
people on this side of the line, our
Canadian cousins celebrated their
Thanksgiving a month or more earlier
than we do. II may be that the Cana
iian turkey had become impatient, and
sounded-a note of warning, or it may
be that the frost on the pumpkin" de-
3lared itself. But whatever the reason,
heir Thanksgiving day is past. 1t may
have been that the reasons for giving
thanks so much earlier than we do
were pushing themselves So hard and
so fast that the Canadians were
ashamed to postpone the event. They
have had reasons, and good ones, too,
tor giving thanks. Their great broad
areas of prairie land have yielded in
abundance, and here, by the way, !. is
not uninteresting to the friends Of
the millions of Americans who have
made their home in Canada during the
past few.years to know that they have
participated most generously in the
cutting Of the melon" Probably the
western portion of Canada, comprising
the provinces of Manitoba, Saskatche-
wan and Alberta, have the greatest
reason of any of the provinces to ex.
press In the most enthusiastic manner
their gratitude. The results In the
line of production give ample reason
for devout thanksgiving to Providence.
This year has surpassed all others In
so far as the total increase in the coun-
try's wealth is concerned. There is no
question that Providence was espe-
cially generous. The weather condi-
tions were perfect, and during the
ripening and harvesting period, there
was nothing to interfere. And now 1t
was well 1t was SO, for with a demand
there was the greatest danger, but
with suitable weather the garnering Of
the grain has been successfully accom-
plished. There have been low gen.
eral averages, but these are account
ed for by the fact that farmers were
Indifferent, relying altogether upon
what a good soil would do. There
will be no more low averages though,
for this year has shown what good,
careful farming will do. 1t will pro-
duce 1870 million bushels of wheat from
seven million acres, and 1t will pro-
duce a splendid lot of oats, yielding
anywhere from so to 100 bushels per
acre. This on land that has cost but
from $40 to SIS per acre-many farm
ers have realized sufficient from this
years crop to pay the entire cost of
their farms. The Toronto Globe says:
THE whole population of the West
rejoices in the bounty Of Providence,
and sends out a message of gratitude
and appreciation of the favors which
have been bestowed on the country.
The cheerfulness which has abounded
with industry during the past six
months has not obliterated the concep.
ton of the source from which the
blessings have flown, and the good
feeling Is combined with a spirit Of
thankfulness for the privilege of living
In so fruitful a land. The misfortunes
of the past are practically forgotten,
because there is great cause to con-
template with satisfaction the COM
forts Of the present. Thanksgiving
should be a season Of unusual en-.
thusiasm."

improved Photoqraphlo Len..

One OF the latest Photographic
inventions is a lens by means of which
a complete view all around the OBJ
server can be taken at once. It is
known as q periscope lens, ana en-
ables the observer to see all around
the horizon without moving. Such a
lens should prove useful on board
ship, In a%eroplanes and in all cases
where a view all around is essential.
The result is attained by means Of a
circular ring of glass curved on the
outer surface, and fiat inside. BY this
the light from all sides is reflected
down the tube which carries the lens.
The p~eriscope lens enables the photog-
rapher to take q circular picture Of
the view all around him. The new
lens Is g British invention.

The story that Sir John Fisher OF

swain on his flagship who fell into a

try box, to find the old sailor pos
sessed of an apparently useless mar
servant.
What do you want with him?'
asked Fisher.
