tonight by, swearing in for riot duty
an dependent military organization
of about 200 members.
Plans have also been discussed by
the commaners of three regiments of
the Philadelphia National Guard Of
this city to mobOliZe troops at mo-
ment's notice. The regular force of
$500 police and 1000 specials was al
so enlarged today by swearing in sc

Five carloads of strike breakers ar
rived tonight.
All cars were withdrawn from sur
face lines at o'clock tonight, the

sire to endanger the lives of their
loyal employees.
The first serious disturbance today
occurred in the center of the city AS

breaker, had his skull fractured with

sons were in the crowd only five ar
rests were made.
An attack was made tonight on the
railroad when three bullets
were fired into q car.

How often do you eat this FOOD?
A short time ago there appeared in
the columns of one Of the prominent
magazines an article on building brain
and muscle by the proper selection Of
the foods you eat.
A good many people were surprised
to find oatmeal placed at the top of the
list of foods recommended; but if the
article had appeared in an English or
Scotch paper every reader would have
expected to see first place given to
good oatmeal.
AS matter of fact Great Britain
and Europe come to us for tremendous
quantities of Quaker Oats because it
represents to them perfect food, being
the richest in flavor and best in clean.

Americans should eat more Quaker
Oats; the results would soon show
themselves in improved conditions OF

likes to call it.
Not being able to secure free and
untrammeled expression of his opin.
ions on this subject through the regular
reading pages of the newspapers he
has bought advertising space for this
purpose, just as he is accustomed to
for the telling of his Postum STORY"
and he has thus spent hundre of
thousands of dollars in denohncing
trades-unionism.
AS result of Posts activities the
people now know a whole lot about
these organizations: how they are
honeycombed with graft, how they OBJ
struct the development of legitimate
business, curtail labor's output, hold
up manufacturers, graft upon their own
membership, and rob the public. Natu-
rally Post Is hated by the trades
unionists, and intensely.
He employs no union labor, so they
can not call out his men, and he defies
their efforts at boycotting his products.
Inc latest means of getting" Post is
the widespread publication of the story
that car which was recently wrecked

with empty peanut shells, which were
Delng shipped from the south to Posts

This canard probably originated with
PRESIDENT John Fitzgerald of the Chi
cago Federation Of Labor, who. it is
SAID, stated it publicly, as truth.

Is significant that this statement about

ends, naturally would not hesitate to :
spread falsehood for the same pur-

We admire Post While we have no
enmity toward labor unions, SO long as
they are conducted in an honest, .slive-
