How often do you eat this food9


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
illness and purity, of all oatmeals.
