drunken loafer there that 1 see about

that's old Soandso, a cousin of mine"
although he had never seen or

rhe eest Rood for workere.

The best food for those who work
with hand or brain is never high
priced,
The best example of this is found in
Quaker oats. 1t stands at the top
among foods that supply nourishment
and vigor, without taxing the diges-
ton, and yet 1t is the least expensive
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 Oats will work
better and with less fatigue than IL
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.
fessor Fisher of Yale University in
1908. In addition to the regular pack
age Quaker Oats is packed in large
sized family packages either with or
without china dishes.

Postum Always Means Health.

Those who have never tried the ex.

trial.
One who knows says: 81 drank cof-
fee for breakfast every morning until
I had terrible attacks of indigestion
producing days of discomfort and
nights of sleeplessness. tried to give
up the use of coffee entirely, but found
1t hard to go from hot coffee to a
glass of water. Then / tried Postum.
1T was good and the effect was so
pleasant that ! soon learned to love
1t and have used 1t for several years.

off coffee and took on Postum and
