How often do you ca, this food7

A short time ago there appeared in
the columns OF one of the prominent
magazines an article on building brain
and muscle by the propep 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 q matter OF fact Great Britain
and Europe come to us for tremendous
quantities Of Quaker Oats because 1t
represents to them perfect food, being
the richest in flavor and best in clean,
illness and purity, of all oatmeals.

CANADA FORGING
AHEAD

Thomas G. Shotwell, one Of the
greatest market reporters in america,
writes from New York, under date Of
March Goth, and says:
"The Tariff tangle with Canada
which President Taft has taken in
hand is of Importance chiefly because
Of the multitude of American farmers
that are crossing into the Canadian
northwest. Most conservative esti.
mates of their number place It at
100000 for 1910. Some say as many
as 100000 will cross. These are all
expert farmers and their places in the
United States are being filled by un.
trained men from Europe and from
the cities. Canada is gaining rapidly
In agricultural Importance and with
in a few years the United States will
have to call on the Dominion for
wheat. Production Of wheat in the
United States Is not keeping pace
with the population. A tariff war
would complicate the problem Of get.
ting food. Even now Canadian farm.
ers are getting higher prices for their
cattle On the hoof and Canadian house.
wives are paying less for meat in the
butcher shops than farmers and house
wives arc receiving and paying in the
United States. The tariff on cattle
and wheat must be removed as be-
