Care in Preparing Food.

In recent years scientists have
proved that the value of food is meas
ured largely by its purity; the re-
suit is the most stringent pure food
laws that have ever been known.
One food that has stood out promi-
nently as perfectly clean and pure
food and which was as pure before
the enactment of these laws as it could
possibly be is Quaker Scotch Oats;
conceded by the experts to be the ideal
food for making strength of muscle
and brain. The best and cheapest of
all foods. The Quaker Oats Company
is the only manufacturer of oatmeal
that has satisfactorily solved the prob
lem of removing the husks and black
specks which are SO annoying when
other brands are eaten. If you are
convenient to the store buy the reg
ular size packages; If not near the
store, buy the large size family pack

LOW coLoNisT FARES TO THE
West AND NORTHWEST.

Union Pacific Passenger Depart
ment announces that Colonist Fares
will be in effect from Sept. Is to Oct
Is, 1909, to all points in the West and
Northwest.
This year the West looks more
promising than ever. Now is the time
to secure land at low prices, and, at
the same time, to visit the many inter-
esting points in the West and North
west, at which liberal stopover ar
rangements may be made.
A better estimate of raw lands can
be made now than formerly, because
these lands are in proximity to new
farms that are producing wonderful
crops.

For two months the police in Nash
willie have been combating the "odor-
less drunk" Men are carried into the
station house every day drunk with
something that leaves no odor on the
breath. When they are questioned as
to what they have been drinking they
almost invariably say "beerette." but
"beerette" is not considered an intoxi-
cant. The "odorless drunks" are usu-
ally without bottles in their pockets.
There were forty-one drunks on the 20
lice docket in one day.
A strong earthquake was expert

so severely shaken that the clerks
left their desks hurriedly for the
street. They soon returned, however,

was not followed by second. The
quake was felt also at Aguadulce, IL
