snow about six miles north of that
place; third letter, from South Park,
states that it is feared that numbers
Of cattle in the neighborhood of Park

Why does Great Britain buy Its
oatmeal Of us?

Certainly it seems like carrying
Goals to Newcastle to speak of export
ing oatmeal to Scotland and yet, every
year the Quaker Oats Company sends
hundreds of thousands of cases of
Quaker Oats to Great Britain and
Europe.
The reason is simple; while tho
English and Scotch have for centuries
eaten oatmeal in quantities and with a
regularity that has made them the
most rugged physically, and active
mentally OF all people. the American
has been eating oatmeal and trying all
the time to improve the methods of
manufacture SO that he might get that
desirable foreign trade.
How well he has succeeded would
be seen at a glance at the export re-
ports OF Quaker Oats. This brand 10
recognized as without rival In clean
illness and delicious flavor. 81
