gives the best reasons for eating more
Quaker Scotch Oats

In an article published in the
Youths Companion Of Septem-
Der 23rd, 1909, DIR. Browne, the
great medical authority on
foods, says, about brain and
muscle building
There is one kind Of food
that seems to me of marked
value as a food to the brain and
to the whole body throughout
childhood and adolescence
YOUTH, and that is oatmeal.
Oats are the most nutritious
Of all the cereals, being richer
in fats, organic phosphorus and
lecithins."
He says oatmeal is gaining
ground with the well-to-do of

the best food for the human be-

Special to THE EVENING JOURNAL.
NEW CASTLE, May 22-Shad fisher
men who have been on the river this
Spring say that it is a genuine wonder
why more vessels than the Italian steamer
Lazio have not been damaged. For over
month a force of divers have been at
work in that section of the river engaged
in raising mammoth pieces of rock from
the river bed. Whether these monsters fell
on the barges used in conveying stone to
the new breakwater some years ago or are
rocks that had been blasted and not re-
moved when the river was dredged is un-
known. The rocks are loosened by the aid
of compressed air. They are twenty feet
in length in some instances and are being
dumped back Of the new ietty or the adj
ditiona island south of Reedy Island.
This island is three miles long and
mile wide and shortly will be rented from
the Government as a game reservation.
