Natures Gift from the Sunny SOuth
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 the
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. Q
How we'll he has succeeded would
be seen at a glance at the export re-
ports on Quaker Oats. This brand is
without a rival; is packed in regular
packages, and in Theoretically sealed
tins for hot climates. 81

Surprising Facts About the Patent Med
icine Business.

"The Fourth Estate" has been warning
publishers about the risk in allowing credit
to new medicine concerns. 1t is said that
there has been only one or two of the thor-
sands of new proprietary medicine houses
have made any considerable money that
have started the past twenty years and
only a very few more that have met with
even moderate success. It is the general
impression that the business is immensely
profitable while the facts are that there is a
larger percentage Of failures than in any
other line. The new concerns usually start
with lots of confidence in the merit Of their
goods and advertising but soon exhaust
their capital leaving dealers who have
stocked their medicines with unstable
goods on their shelves. 1t is the expert
ence Of many publishers that have accept
ed this new business that they have been
compelled to charge off their bills to profit
and loss.
There are man old and reliable medicine
houses that continue to do a good or in
creasing business from year to year but
the new ones are finding it more and more
difficult to become established.-Des

VAN HELPED KILL PLOT.
Attempt Made to Purchase Seventeen
Democratic Votes at $4,000 Each,
Is Tribune's Claim.

Chicago, Ill.-The Chicago Tribune
prints a statement that an attempt
was made previous to the cleo
ton Of William Lorimer as United
States senator to purchase II Demo
cratic votes at $4,000 a vote to assure
the return of the then Senator Albert
J. Hopkins. The story follows close
on a luncheon where Roger Sullivan,
Democratic national committeeman
for Illinois, and representatives of the
Legislative Voters league fred point
ed remarks at each other. On this &C.
casion Mr.. Sullivan is quoted as say
ing:
Why don't you fellows look into
what Albert J.. Hopkins was trying to
do at Springfield for four months? 2"
The Tribune declares that S35, 900
was collected to buy the needed votes.
1t was placed in the hands of two lit
tle-known Legislators and the block of
votes selected and made ready for de-
livery.
1t is alleged that Mr.. Sullivan and
Speaker Shurtleff spoiled the plan.
The speaker is said to have told the
culprits that he would expose the plot.
from the chair the moment a Demo-
cratic ballot vas cast for Hopkins.
The Sullivan entered the arena, He
arrived at Springfield at midnight one
night and, gathering the II about
him, threatened to break every politi-
cal bone in their bodies if they voted
for Hopkins. That ended it.
The Tribune expresses the belief
that the plot was formed without the
knowledge of Senator Hopkins. The
story is said to have leaked out to
anti-Hopkins Republicans and to the
Democratic leaders through the bab-
blings Of n of the II who was re-
Joicing at the prospect of "easy
money"
