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 good thing that this is so because
he has 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
Scotch Oats eaten is due very largely
to the recent demonstrations by scien-
tific men that the Quaker Scotch Oats
fed man is the man with greatest
physical endurance and greatest men
tai vigor.
Farmers should give this subject
careful thought and should increase
the quantity Of Quaker Scotch Oats
eaten by themselves, their children
and the farm hands.
Packed in regular packages, and in
Theoretically sealed tins for hot
climates. 81

CRUSADE AGAINST

Petition from All Sections of the

Chicago, Aug. 4. -Campalgns OF
several women's clubs in a few
cities of the East, having for their
object inducing Mrs. Alice Roose-
welt Longworth, daughter of former
President Roosevelt, to stop smok-
ing cigarettes, have acquired mo-
mentum that promises to sweep the
whole nation.
The movement has struck Chica-

In circular letter sent out by Mary
F. Balcomb, secretary of the Young
Peoples Civil League, to 500 young
people organizations of Chicago,
asking them to discuss the matter
and to impress upon children that
Mrs. Longworth's cigarette smoking
habit should be regarded as an illus.
tration of an evil to be initiated.
From various other cities news
has come of similar action having
been taken by church organizations,
the membership of which is com
posed of both sexes, and by clubs
whose membership consists of wom-
en- alone.
Within the next two weeks Mrs.
Longworth will receive a deluge of
petitions, kilograms, letters, circu-
lars and other written and printed
matter, beseeching her to cease
smoking cigarettes. In addition
deputations of women will travel
from various parts of the country to

Build Up Your Own Town

Every man who lives IN COM
munity either helps to build up and
benefit that community or he is do
ing it an injury.
If he Is liberal and generous, a
man will naturally do what he can
to advance the best interests of the
town or community in which he
lives.
But a selfish man cannot make a
good citizen.
The man who wishes to see the
community in which he lives pros
Ferrous patronizes every home lnsti-
tuition that is worthy of support.
If he is farmer he will patronize
the nearest blacksmith-shop, gin or
mill, even though he knows that the
owner will be benefited thereby to
the extent of making a good living
for himself and family.
If the man Is professional man
or mechanic he will buy his pro-
duce from his farmer frieuds ard
his goods from his home merchants
because he feels that it is from his
people he must receive his support,
if he receives it at all, and he is
glad to see them prospecting.
The building-up merchant buys
his goods in the nearest market,
such produce as he can from his
country customers, and has his need
ed work done by home people, even
to having his printing done In the
home Office.
But all Of our merchants do not
think of these things.
Some of them will give their
small orders to home people, but
when they have job that is really
worth anything they send it away
from home.
The man who patronizes his near.
est neighbor not only helps that
neighbor the amount he spends with
him, but helps the entire communi-
ty by keeping the money in circula-
ton at home, and he has another
opportunity to get it again.
On the other hand the man who
sends his money away for what he
can get at home simply because he
can save few cents on the dollar
by doing 50, has not only injured the
home man who could and would
have been glad to supply him with
what he wanted or done his work,
but has robbed the community in
which he lives of that amount of
circulating medium and thereby
lessened the ability of his neighbor
to patronize him.
They forgot that the man whom
they have refused to patronize can
make a much greater saving by
sending away from home for what
he wants than they have done or can
do, and That the example they are
setting,i if followed up would soon
dry up any town.
The money paid out is not only
lost to the community both as a
tax payer and the circulating medi.
um, and yet if the merchants who
have done this were treated in the
same way by the farmers, mechan.
les and professional men, they
would raise greater racket for
they could not exist one year.
And yet they have no right to
expect the support of a community
they are themselves tearing down.
We ask each business man to con.
slider this matter In order that he
may see which side he is on.
