The Other Side

We have Canvassed hundreds Of
homes of the educated, the competent,
the leaders in every walk Of life. And
we find that oatmeal is the regular diet
in seven out of eight of those homes.
We have inquired Of 1900 physi
clans and we find that four-tifths serve
oatmeal in their homes. Out of 50
leading professors in one university,
IS regularly eat oatmeal.
We find that four-tifths Of all college
students come from oatmeal homes.
New-York tribune., 1910-09-25

Oats are richer than all other cereals
in proteids, organic phosphorus and
lecithin.
Proteid is the bodybuilding, the
energy-giving food. Phosphorus is the
brain food-lecithin the food for the
nerves and nerve centers-
No other food supplies like oatmeal
the needs Of a growing child.

le Homes That Nevel
Serve Oatmeal

We have made a house-to-house can
vaSs of the tenement districts, both OF
New York and Chicago
We have gone to the homes where
are bred the anemic, the incapable, the
undeveloped. Where tuberculosis finds
its ready prey.
We find in those sections that not
one home in twelve serves oats in any
form.
New-York tribune., 1910-09-25
The Meaning

This doesn't mean that some can
afford oats and others cannot. For
Quaker Oats-the finest oatmeal pro-
duced-costs but one-half cent per dish.
1t means that some know, and others
don't know. the food needs Of a child.
1t means that some know, and others
don't know, the facts about oatmeal
Some know, and some don't know,
that the highest authorities give it first
rank among foods.

PALACE OF CHERAGAN
IS DESTROYED BY FIRE
Home Of Turkey Parliament, Finest
Building on Bosphorus, Built
by Abdul Aziz

CONSTANTINOPLT, Jan. 19.-The
palace of Cheragan, where parliament
sits, was nearly destroyed by fire of
accidental origin today. The chamber
of deputies was burned out and the
senate hall was so BADLY damaged
that it cannot be occupied again.
The Palace Cheragan was built by
Sultan Abdul Aziz and was the finest
palace on the Bosphorus. 1t was con-
structed of marble and the interior
was remarkable for the beauty of the
sculptured ornaments in marble and
wood.
For many years it was the home of
the deposed sultan, Murad ", and was
inaccessible to visitors. 1t was occu-
pied by parliament when that body
was formed a little more than a year
ago.

ACTRESS FIGURES
IN DIVORCE CASE
SAD TANGLE IN DOMESTIC LIFE
AIRED IN COURT
HUSBAND SAYS WIFE KICKED
TOO HIGH
Declares He Found Her on Back Porch
Drinking Beer Out of Same
Glass with a
Chauffeur

Two defendants were in Judge
Houser's divorce court yesterday when
the case of De Kalb Spurlin, well
known real estate dealer and home
builder against his wife, Maud M.
Spurlin, was called. One defendant was
Mrs. Spurlin, who is contesting the
action and the other Camille Aster,
formerly a member of a musical
comedy company which appeared at
the Grand opera house. Miss Aster is
named by Mrs. Spurlin as correspondent,
and has retained counsel to refute the
charges of misconduct on her part with
Spurlin.
similar charges of unfaithfulness are
made by Spurlin against his wife, H H.
Jadvin being named by him as CO.
respondent Mrs. Spurlin denies inten-
tional wrongdoing, claiming any act of
which she may be guilty was caused
through the administering of drugged
candy by Jadvin with the knowledge,
consent and connivance of her husband.
In addition to a legal separation, a di
vision of property and the custody Of
three children are involved in the suit.
My wife did not care for these chill
dren; they cared for themselves" said
Spurlin in his testimony yesterday,
Frequently" he added, they implored
me to get them something to eat when
I reached home at night. On other oc-
L
bed, while my wife was away from
home"
Two humane officers, he said, once
told him the children must receive bet
ter treatment.
The Spurlins were married January
80, 1900, and separated in November,
1908, Spurlin testifying he left his home
at 623 Hazard street because his wife
was constantly hiring lawyers to aid
her in obtaining a divorce and because
she said she did not love me any more.
She also said if 1 would let her get a
divorce quietly she believed l would not
have to pay alimony very long, and
suggested 1 might be happier with some
other woman"
On the ninth anniversary of their
marriage, Spurlin said, his wife invited
him to the Hazard street home to par
ticipate in a jollifcation.
'I accepted the invitation" said
Spurlin, but remained only two hours.
The house was crowded, and everybody
was drinking. There We're two large
kegs of beer, a dozen bottles of cham
payne and other liquors. My wife did
some high kicking, and once 1 saw her
on the back porch with her arm around
the neck of a chauffeur while the two
drank beer from the same glass;"
The trial probably will last several
days.
The following divorce suits were filed:
Grace H. Jenkins against Anderson c.
jenkins, Adie L. Kinnison against Obie
B. Kinnison, w. D. Thornburg against
Lillian C. Thornburg, Cora Gertrude
Casterline against Albert NJ. Casterline
and Mabelle Lewis Case against AIvah
