Which do you think won7

Not long ago two men, athletes, went
into a contest to see which could stand
erect and hold his arms stretched out
full length at either side of his body for
the longer time. One man had fed on
steaks and chops, sausage, ham, roast
beef, etc. the other ate heartily, but con-
fined himself to such foods as Quaker
Oats, rice. macaroni, etc. Which do you
think held out longer?
The first man lasted twenty-five min-
utes. The Quaker Oats-macaroni-rice
chap concluded to stop after he had been
a. it more than three hours.
There's more strength and economy m
eating lots of Quaker Oats than most
people imagine.
Every family should eat plentifully of
Quaker Oats at least once every day;
breakfast is the best time 1t strengthens
you for the day.
The regular size package sells for loc;
the big family size package costs 25c;

china in it in addition to the Quaker
Oats. costs 30c Grooers sell all of
