How often do you eat this food7

A short time ago there appeared in
the columns of one of the prominent
magazines an article on building brain
and muscle b. 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 Scotch Oats be-
cause it represents to them perfect

best in cleanliness and purity, of all
