Want to be strong?

Eat more Quaker Oats. Eat it for
breakfast every day. This advice is
coming from all sides as a result of re-
cent experiments OH foods to determine
which are the best for strength and en-
durance. 1t has been proved that eaters
of Quaker Oats and such cereals are far
superior in strength and endurance to
those who rely upon the usual diet OF
heavy, greasy foods.
When all is said and done on the
cereal food question, the fact remains
that for economy and for results in
health and strength, Quaker Oats stands
first of ali. 1t is the most popular food
in the world among the foods sold in
packages.
All grocers carry Quaker Oats. Il

to the farewell which Mr.. Kerr shouted
into his stable door, then he watched
the departing gentleman contempla-
lively.
Heels are slippery and ard to
ketch,, he soliloquized, still looking
after Mr.. Kerr, but there are them
that can ketch en-
Boykin had known Bud Darwin for
years and knew him to be a careful
and faithful trainer with one weak
ness-whisky Only his fear of Mr..
Kerr kept him sober and sobriety was
only maintained by rigidly avoiding
temptation
About noon on the day of Mr. Kerr's
departure Boykin entered Darwin's
stable and thus addressed him:
"Budd, friend of mine as given me
some hold Kentucky Bourbon, and I'm
goin' to give you a quart But only
use it for medicine, Budd, promise
me that"
He placed the bottle on a table and
left A half hour later he glanced in,
the bottle was quarter empty. and
Darwin was talking to himself. At
three o'clock the bottle was empty, and
Mr.. Darwin was in a lethargic slumber,
from which salute of artillery would
not have aroused him.
At this hour everybody had gone to
the other side of the course where the
horses finished, and the stables were
deserted. Watching his chance Boy
kin slipped Exotic out of the stable and
slipped him into Kerr's. BY the same
deft movement and entirely unob-
served he slipped Epaulet out of Kerrs
stable into his. A sponge saturated
with the decoction of walnut hulls OBJ
liberated the white splotch on EpauIet's
shoulder. Then he led him towards the
paddock. Mr.. Boykin noted with sat
lsfact1on that the sky was overcast.
and as it was nearing half after four
the daylight was getting dim. Secur-
ing the services of Spider Jack" a di-
minutive negro jockey, he babe him
stand by the horse until the call came
to weigh in, and then fastened to the
betting ring. The odds against Exotic
were not complimentary to that ami
NAL, as the bookmakers deemed it an
eight to one chance that he would
not win, and three to one that he
would not be even second. Mr.. Boy
kin's funds counted up $3.50, and he
placed 500 ON Exotic" to win and $50
on him for place. Hurrying back t.
the paddock he gave Spider a leg
up on the horse and babe him take 1t
easy for half mile the race being for
one mile, and then drive him the hal
ance of the way. The horses got away
with an even break, punched to the
half mile, and then Exotic" shot out
and came in an easy winner by a good
length.
For five minutes Mr. Boykin watched
the judges stand uneasily, but rules
were not very strict at the course
and the stunning change in form "a
the part of Exotic" passed without adj
verse comment
When darkness had fallen Epaulet,
with the white splotch plain on his
shoulder, was in Kerrs stable, and if
Mr.. Budd Darwin found any grounds to
suspect that trick had been played
while he was drunk, he thought it best
to be silent
Mr.. Roykin paid Mr. Kerr without
even kicking over the excessive inter-
est charged, paid all his debts, and
HE'D himself with his horses to New
Orleans, bearing on his face the glow
of a thoroughly honest man.

SOUGHT COVER BY INSTINCT.
Case Where the City "Cop" Realized
That He Was But Human,
After All.

Tom has been fifteen years on the
force and his friends assert that he
has added ten pounds to his weight
for each one of those years. He has
also increased in dignity and in ap-
probation of the privileges of his
Office. That is saying something, for
what the policeman doesn't appropri-
ate as his right isn't worth taking.
But the other day he found he was
human, just the same as the folk he'd
run in just as soon as not. He had
taken his boy out into the back yard
to give him a little baseball practice
and had started in to knock out a few
grounders. But nightstick isn't
handled the way bat is, and age had
not improved Toms eye.
81 swung at the first one," he says,
land clipped the air where the ball
had been. That surprised me so |
hit quick the next time, and famed

cop.

the next one. Well, | hit it, and it

"He gave me away, of course,
though I'd have paid for the window,
anyway. But the owner over in that
house sent nasty little note with the
bill he mailed me next morning. 1t

tor onto him.

The Wonderful American Hen.

The cackles of the American hens
are swelling into a mighty chorus.
Sixteen billion times year these
small citizens announce the arrival OF
'fresh laid,'' and the sound of their
Dragging is waxing loud in the land.
According to the last census, there
are 233,59S,005 chickens of laying
age in the United States. These are
valued at $70,000,00O, and the eggs
thew lay would, If divided, allow 203
eggs annually to every person-man,
woman and child-in the United
States. The value of all the fowls,
SS5,8O0, 1000, would entitle every per-
son in the country to SLIP, If they
were sold and the proceeds divided.
All the weight of the animal products
exported, the pork, beef ,tallow ham,
bacon and sausage, is 846,S6O tons,
while the weight of the eggs laid
yearly tips the scales at 970,36S tons.

THE EESIg.MY
AIDING
Copyright. by Daily Story Pub. Coz

That aggregation of blooded horses
which, notwithstanding its somewhat
fiamboyant name, consisted OF three
plugs and a horse, was in trouble. Mr..
Thomas Boykin, who held the triple
post of owner, trainer and at times
jockey for the stable, contemplating
some irregular figures scraWled on a
piece of brown paper, discovered that
before he could with either dignity or
safety transport his stable to the south
he must settle a Jersey Indebtedness OF
some $780, It was the absence of these
$500 and the absence of any prospects
of getting them that caused the trouble
of the Bellfontaine stable.
The direct cause of this trouble was
that Exotic, the horse of the Bellfon-
tame stable, had gone back True,
he was coming to form, but slowly,
and could not be depended on to win
the slowest sort of a race. The three
plugs were maintained not because
they were of any account as race horses,
but because nobody would buy them,
and Mr. Boykin was born with an alb
horrence of giving anything away.
Contiguous to the stable of Mr. Boy
kin was that of Absalom Kerr and in
this stable slept and ate Epaulet, the
pride of the Kerr racing outfit. Mr..
Kerr could always depend on Epaulet
winning him race in the proper class,
except at those times when it was
more profitable to the owner that the
race be lost Mr. Kerr was man OF
business, he was interested in a book
at the track and made a practice of
loaning money at sitting rates to in
digent horse owners. 1t was his boast,
and no man gainsaid it, that he had
never been caught mapping by any
debtor. Mr.. Boykin owed Kerr 800,
and while he did not underestimate his
ability to get his horses away without
paying his feed and other business
bills, he despaired of hoodwinking the
sharp-eyed Mr. Kerr. Hence the trou-
Bile of the Bellfontaine stable.
Mr. Boykin, who had first seen the
light or rather a combination of river
damp and coal smoke which passed for

interesting speeches followed.

still further in that most modern

Our Curious Clothing.

Sartorial antiquarians have been
given something to quarrel about in
the far future, when they look at the
creased trousers on the new General
Banks statue in Boston. At his best,
the general was a careful-posslbiy
we should say an elegant
and no doubt had he lived in the days
of carefully creased trousers, he
would have scrupulously followed the
mode. But in Civil War times, and
surely among soldiers in active serv-
ice, no great attention was paid to
this nicely of apparel Yet in the far
distant future, when the statue is ex-
humed from the ruins of Beacon Hill,
some savant of the day will find in the
creased trousers of the Banks statue
material for an elaborate monograph
on Curious Clothing of Heroes OF
Great War;"

out Epaulet and led him around. Mr..
Kerr contemplated his horse pride
fully, and then glanced at Exotic with
an air of ownership. He had a lien
on him and he felt sure that Boykin
could not pay it.

remarked to Mr.. Boykin.

KNOWING roo WELL.
Sometimes Too Well Trained Mem

Sometimes Too Well Trained Men,
DRY plays Rather Odd Tricks.
Very often folks get to know a thing
so well that they don't have to think
to remember it. Take, for instance,
your home address. If you have been
living in the same house in the same
street for years your address gets
easier and easier to recall Except,
sometimes. 1t doesn't take the inf1u-
ence of liquor to make you forget
either. 1t merely is that you know 1t
too we'll
There was a man who was in the
habit of writing letters to a girl, and
after a year or so he got to know
her address by heart One day, long
after he started writing to her, he was
addressing an envelope to the young
woman, when suddenly he became
suspicious of the number he had writ
ten. He read 1t aloud and tried other
schemes of convincing himself He
wrote the same numbers on other
sheets of paper, but they did not seem
entirely right.
Eventually he had to go over to call
on the girl, instead of writing, in or
der to satisfy himself that he still
knew the address. His figures had
been perfectly all right, but the trou-
BILE was that he knew them too we'll
That sometimes occurs to person
giving an address in a store. 1t slips
out so naturally that when by chance
the sh9pman repeats BLANK Blankety
Blankth street," you begin to wonder
If you have it right after all. And the
first breath of suspicion kills your
chances of remembering correctly
You simply have to go to the direct
DRY to verify the place you live in and
naturally that leads to suspicious on
the part of the shopkeeper."
