Do farmers eat the proper sort of food

Do farmers eat the proper sort Of food
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 a good thing that this is SO because
he has great variety to select from.
He shsnld, 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 Oats
eaten is due very largely to the recent
demonstrations by scientific men that
the Quaker Oats fed man is the man
with greatest physical endurance and
greatest mental vigor.
Farmers should give this subject
careful thought and should increase
the quantity of Quaker Oats eaten by
themselves, their children and the
farm hands. 81

DOUBLE REWARD OF VIRTUE
Love Story Written by Small Boy at
Least Brought Things to
Happy Conclusion.

Apropos of love stories in general,
Jerome S. McWade, the well-known
Duluth connoisseur, said at recent
dinner:
"At the approach of Valentine day
last year offered a prize of five dol
lars to the little boys of my Sunday
school class for the best short love
story. l have one of the stories here.
and am going to read it to you"
Mr.. McWade then read:
"a poor man fell in love with lady
whose mother was rich toy dealer
THE poor man could not marry the
rich lady. because he had no money.
"A villain then offered him $50 If he
would become drunkard.
The poor man wanted the money to
get married with, so he agreed, but
when he got to the beer saloon he
said:
"'No. / will not become drunkard,
even for great riches
"On the way home he found bag
of gold. So the young lady married
him. 1t was splendid wedding, and
the next day they had twins.
