Do you eat enough Of this

The great benefit in health and strength
that always is enjoyed by regular eaters
of good oatmeal is known the world
over. Every year there are more and
more eaters of Quaker Oats, which is
recognized in this country and in Europe
as the one perfect oatmeal.
All the experiments Of the govern
ment food experts and the athletic
trainers of Yale University prove that
cereal eaters are the strongest and
healthiest, and Quaker Oats stands at
the head of the list Of cereal foods. 1t is
not only the best food, but It's the cheap
est food on earth. Eat it daily for
breakfast.
The large size family package Of
Quaker Oats, with a handsome piece OF
china. sells at 3oc; without the china

Des Moines, Ia, April 1S.-The av.
erage daily temperature for the state
for the six months, October, 1908, to
March, 1909, inclusive was 1928 de-
grees or an average daily excess OF
23 degrees. The mean temperature
was above the normal in all of the
months except October and March,
the average daily deficiency for the
latter month being 1.5 degrees. The
average total precipitation was 1874
inches, which is 1928 inches above the
normal. December and March were
the only months that had a deficiency,
but the snowfall for March was far
In excess of the normal for that
month. .~.#
The drouth which prevailed during
August and September of last year
continued during the larger part OF
October and prevented the seeding
OF as large an acreage of fall grains

applies to clover which Is reported
as being winter killed in many sec

| The cold and stormy weather in
March has continued thus far in April
and has prevented the usual amount
OF field work being done. There has
