How often do you
eat this food?

A short time ago there appeared in
the columns Of one Of the prominent
magazines an article on building brain
and muscle by 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 il the
article had appeared in an English or
Scotch paper every reader would have
expected to see first place given to
good oatmeal.
AS a matter Of fact Great Britain
and Europe come to US for tremendous
quantities Of Quaker Oats because it
represents to othem perfect food, being
the richest in flavor and best in clean
liness and purity, Of all oatmeals.

VIII We Have Socialist Ticket?

columbia Cor. News and Courier
1t is probable that the Socialists
of this State will put out a candi-
date for Governor during the ap-
preaching campaign. If a candidate
Is not put on this year, the Socialists
Will certainly be in the field during
the following State campaign. A
conference will be held in Charles
ton on July 4, and it is expected that
definite action will be taken at that
time in regard to this matter. 1t is
not stated, however, that the Social
lists will enter any except the Cover
norship field. While 1t is, of course,
knc l that the Socialists are not
sufficiently strong in numbers in this
State to capture the Governors Job
for their man, yet the object of the
campaign would be to determine lust
how many Socialists are in the State,
and to give all who are Socialists an
opportunity to declare themselves
outright by voting for the candidate.
Just who the candidate will be is not
stated at this time, although, If the
Socialists enter the race this year 1t
VIII. In all probability, be a Charles
ton man. If 1t Is next election year
the chances are that it will be a CO.
lumbia man. There are in South Car
olina three or four hundred Social
lists. the organization being better
effected in the larger towns of the
State. especially in Charleston and
Columbia. With the Grosscup case
in the limelight, and the fact that
Milwaukee was captured in the cleo
tions by the Socialists Democrats, the
Socialistic element throughout the
country is encouraged for the future
OF the party. In this State all the
Socialists can hope for at this time
is to enter the lists, and for that rea-
son. If candidate is put on for Gov
ernor this year, the event will be not
able, for South Carolina Is generally
known as the "one-party" State.
With the Republicans determined to
put ont candidates for Congressional
seats, the situation will take on more
interest.

Find Out How Many Pauper Acres
You Are Planting.

We have seen many an acre of land
this summer which cannot possibly
pay the farmer more than ten cents
a day for his labor, pauper acres
which not only take half his wages
from him. but vastly more than that;
leaving him not only no return for
his time. but making him board him.
self at heavy expense for the privilege
of plowing through the improbable
and bankrupt soil.
Now as the crops are being harvest
ed it is certainly an opportune time
to count the losses from these pauper
acres and lay plans to prevent us from
falling into their hands another sea-
son. Thousands and thousands of
farmers as the cotton and tobacco are
sold this fall would be much bet
ter off If they had cultivated only half
as many acres as they have sweated
over through the planting and culti-
vation seasons. CD If half the num-
Der Of acres had had as much plowing
as the whole number had giving them
vastly better seed bed; CD if half
the number of acres had had the same
quantity Of fertilizers and manure
that the whole number had, giving
them a more than double margin of
available fertility and richness, and
CD if half the number of acres had
had the same amount of tillage and
CULTIVATION in better preparation Of
seed bed, undelayed plowing and
longer period of cultivation, the pro-
duct would have been much more
More than this, the farmer woud have
felt a greater pride in the achieve
ment, and the pauper acres could at
least have grown a crop of weeds for
added humus, and the farmer would
have discovered one Of the main Sc
crets Of progressive farming Consid-
er how much better still if these sick,
pauper acres had been sown in peas
for increasing their fertility thereby
getting not only all the advantages we
have mentioned for the acres culti-
waited in regular crops, but starting the
pauper acres toward life, richness. in
dependence, and joyous self-support
again.
Pauper acres disgrace the farm and
the farmer. Now is the time to seek
them out and begin building them up.
