The Best Food for Workers.

The best food for those who work with hand or brain is never high priced. /
 The best example of this is found in Quaker Scotch Oats. It stands at the top among foods that supply nourish- ment and vigor, without taxing the digestion, and yet it is the least ex- pensive food one can eat.
 This great food value and low cost make it an ideal food for families who want to get the greatest good from what they eat
 Laborers, factory or farm hands, fed plentifully on Quaker Scotch Oats will work better and with less fatigue than if fed on almost any other kind of food. All of these facts were proved and very interesting information about human foods were gathered by Pro- lessor Fisher of Yale University in 1908. You'll find Quaker Scotch Oats in regular size packages, and hermet- ically sealed tins; the latter is best for hot climates. 8

THE DIFFERENCE Coffee Usually Means Sickness, But Postum Always Means Health.

Those who have never tried the ex- pertinent of leaving off coffee and drinking Postum in its place and in this way regaining health and happi- ness can learn much from the expert ence of others who have made the trial.
 One who knows says: T drank cof fee for breakfast every morning until had terrible attacks of indigestion producing days of discomfort and nights of sleeplessness. l tried to give up the use of coffee entirely, but found it hard to go from hot coffee to a glass of water. Then I tried Postum.

The Rare Gift of Courtesy.

Courtesy includes not merely social kindness, graces of speech, absence or rudeness, but honorable treatment of business associates and of all the fel' low citizens with whom a man of af- fairs may have business to transact. It is not American to keep one cit1' zen waiting all day at the door be- cause he is poor, and to grant an other citizen an interview because 1t is believed he is rich. Wisdom is not confined in purse, and frequently much wisdom may be learned from a poor man.

If the pastures thrive and produce good growth, all right, and then, if they run out, and grow up in weeds, the man thinks he hasn't time to look after and improve matters.
