selves into two parties. one carrying
white flags and the other red ones. At
a given signal the reds" attack the

most of these is proclaimed victor.
Wonderful conjurers are to be found
at the street corners They make
swarms of birds fly from crystal bowls
and flowers spring as if by magic from
slender stems of bamboo.
Others show marvellous beetles har-

the ways of the Portuguese lover are

would like to become acquainted he
follows her. Chaperons are not i'm

right up to her very door and notes

Sometimes hard fate In the guise Of

Sooner or later she leans ove the bal

The Unemployed.

The legislation of the thirteenth
fourteenth and fifteenth centuries
abounds in bills concerning the unem'
ployed. In the reign of Edward vi.
several laws were passed against
"idlers'-most of them such because
they could get nothing to do. In the
reign of Henry VIII. the kingdom was
infested with "rogues," "~vagabonds'
and idle persons" and it is Sid that
during Henry's reign more than 7O,OoO
of this unfortunate class were hanged.

Do farmers eat the proper
sort of foodP

The farmer of today buys a much
larger proportion of the food that goes
on the table than he did ten years ago
It's a good thing hat this is so because
he has a great variety to select from.
He should, however, use great care
in selecting for the best results in
health and strength.
The widespread tendency in the city
TO increase the amount OF Quaker Oats
eaten is due very largely 10 the recent
demonstrations by scientific men that
the Quaker Oats fed man is the man
with greatest physical endurance and
greatest mental vigor.
Farmers should give this subject
careful thought and should increase
the quantity of Quaker Oats eaten by
themselves, their children and the
farm hands. 81
