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; 1t
costs so little anyone can afford it,
and it is so carefully prepared and
packed that it 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 story that Sir John Fisher of
the British admiralty tells with the
greatest enjoyment-andhe tells many,
and all with zest-is of an old boat
swain on his flagship who fell into a

the admiral visited him at his coun,
try box, to find the old sailor pos
sessed of an apparently useless man
servant.
What do you want with him?''
asked Fisher

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


For some reason better known to
the Canadians themselves than to the
people on this side of the line, our
Canadian cousins celebrated their
Thanksgiving q month or more earlier
than we do. IL may be that the Cana
dian turkey had become impatient, and
sounded a note of warning, or it may
be that the frost on the pumpkin" de-
clared itself. But whatever the reason,
their 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,
for giving thanks. Their great broad
areas of prairie land have yielded in
abundance, and here, by the way, 1t is
not embarrassing 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-
lions we're perfect, and during the
ripening and harvesting period, there
was nothing to interfere. And now II
was we'll It was so, for with demand
for labor that could not be supplied,
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 100 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:
1.-THE whole population of the West
reioices in the bounty of Providence,
and sends out 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 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."

Dinner Eavors.

We are never too old to admire
things freely, and the hostess who de-
sires to give favors has a wide selec-
ton from which to choose for almost
any occasion. A clever person with
deft fingers can make charming cards
and bonbon boxes; the latter may be
round or square, six or eight sided,
heart or diamond shaped. Recently
| saw dainty pink satin boxes, oval in
shape, the cover bearing a photograph
on satin of the ship on which the
guest of honor at this dinner party
was TO sail
For bridal affairs, the monogram of
the happy jaiT in gold on white satin
are very elegant. They may contain
wedding cake or bonbons. Small bas-
kets Of various styles are lovely used
as nut or sweetmeat holders; some
times an artificial or real flower is
tied to the handle; for instance, a
bunch of forget-me-nots, at farewell
luncheon; or pansies, for thoughts"
The wee jardinieres in brass or china
are very popular for favors, contain
ing one single flower; this prim,
stiff style of decoration is very effec-
tive. especially used with a round
table; each jardiniere contributes to
the circle that is formed by one at
each place.

And dried them one by one.
