Follow this advice.


Quaker Scotch Oats Is the best Of aii
foods; It is also the cheapest When
suchmena as Prof. Fisherof Yale univers
sity and Sir James Crichton Browne,
LLD.-F.R.S. of London spend the
best parts Of their lives IN studying
the great question of the nouTishing
and strengthening qualities of different
foods, it is certain that their advice is
absolutely safe to follow.
Professor Fisher found in his exc
periments for testing the strength and
endurance Of athletes that the meat
eaters were exhausted long before the
men who were fed on such food as
Quaker Scotch Oats. The powers OF
endurance of the non-r1eat eaters were
about eight times those of the meat
eaters.
Sir James Crichton Browne says
a tnore oatmeal, eat plenty of it and
eat it frequently. So

why In There n Postal Dencit: I:

why In There n Postal Dehcits
To tho Editor of the Evening Star:
am informed that special mouse
committee is now at work drafting
bill embodying President Tafts recon-
mendations that the rates of postage
on newspapers and periodicals OF gem
eral circulation be Increased from three
TO four times. The reason, ] am told,
for drafting such bill is on account
of deficit in the postal revenues.
Let me ask, why should the deficit
be made up? Why should the post
Office pay? Does the navy pay? Docs
the army pay? Does the Agricultural
Department pay? Does the Weather
Bureau pay? Does any department OF
government pay? Then: why all this
talk about a deficit? Why all this howl
about the postal revenues not equal
ing the expenditures
I would like to call attention to tho
fact that tho rate OF postage in Can
ada on newspapers and magazines is
one-half a cent o pound, just one-half
what the United States now charges.
The Canadian postoffice department
Newark evening star and Newark advertiser., 1910-02-07

shows up with surplus every year.
When you consider that Canada is a
country sparsely settled, with great
distances between centres of popula.
ton, with an average haul on every
newspaper it carries twice as great
as that in tho United States, then it
becomes q source of wonder how Can
ada makes a profit. while the United
States shows a deficit.
The reason is not hard to discover
Canada gets more favorable rates from
the railroads than the United States
Government. An increase in newspaper
postage would by no means increase
postofflce receipts. Remember that
this increase only applies to publica-
tions of general circulation and the
big magazines This would throw all
this business to the express companies,
who would shave the rates just lit
tie under tho government rates.
{. As the express companies are making
immense profits carrying second GLASS
mail matter at the rate of cent per
pound, you will see what it would
mean to these corporations II this post
age bill goes through. Z. L. B.
