Membership and Ratio.
The first spportionment made by
the constitution itself provided for
one member To- every 10000 inhabi-
tants with the result that at It's first
session the house contained only fifty
fve members. The census of 1896 re-
suited in an increase to 105 with 49,
600 as the bagiB Of representation.
From that tins forth with one excep-
ton the increase both in representa-
ton and ratio has been steady, as fol-
lows: 1900. 141S members with ra-
ito Of $1,000; 1910. 181 members and

How often do you eat this foodG

A short time & thore appeared In
Che 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 tho
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 n 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.
Americans should eat more Quaker
oats: the results would soon show
themselves in improved conditions Of
health and strength. SIS
