They Didn't Have TO Chance.

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 a eon-
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 1t and so nourishing that every
one needs it. 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
Quaker Oats; regular size packages
and the large size family package;
the latter both with and without
china. 1
