Want to be strong?

Eat more Quaker Oats. Eat it for
breakfast every day. This advice is
coming from all sides as a result of re-
cent experiments on foods to determine
which are the best for strength and en-
durance. 1t has been proved that eaters
OF Quaker Oats and such cereals are far
superior in strength and endurance to
those who rely upon the usual diet of
heavy, greasy foods.
When all is said and done on the
cereal food question. the fact remains
that for economy and for results in
health and strength, Quaker Oats stands
first of all. 1t is the most popular food
in the world among the foods sold in
packages.
All grocers carry Quaker Oats. 1t
sells at lOc for the regular size package,
25c for the large size family package
and Soc for the family package contain
