Why does Great Britain buy
its oatmeal of us?
April 5th, 1910.

Certainly it seems like carrying
GOALS to Newcastle to speak OF export
ing oatmeal to Scotland and yet, every
year the Quaker Oats Company sends
hundreds of thousands of cases of
Quaker Oats to Great Britain and
Europe.
The reason is simple; while the
English and Scotch have for centuries
eaten oatmeal in quantities and with
regularity that has made them the
most rugged physically, and active
mentally of all people, the American
has been eating oatmeal and trying all
the time to improve the methods of
manufacture so that he might get that
desirable foreign trade. s.
How we'll he has succeeded would
be seen at glance at the export re-
ports on Quaker Oats. This brand is
without a rival; is packed in regular
packages, and in Theoretically sealed
tins for hot climates. 81

higher esteem than it now is The

marked product when they are forced
to come into competition with the hon
estly made and sold dairy product that
outsells theirs.
The label should tell not merely be-
cause the consumer has right to
know what he is buying, but because
producers and purveyors have right to
the market that is open to their prod
uct, and a right to protection from the
invasion of that marked by crooked
dealers with a doctored and disguised
commodity who seek to get the profits
TO which legitimate endeavor is entitled.
The work of the Federal Court in
the "oleo" cases is vigorous and will
be productive of good. According to
an old story waiter who was asked
how the word "oleomargarine" was
pronounced informed the guest that he
pronounced it "butter" to hold his job.
That situation will be remedied if the
Federal Court continues TO fix proper
penalties where the law has been vio-
lated.

Nothing shows more clearly the
strain on the resources Of the people,
caused by the increased cost of living,
than the shrinkage OF savings report
ed by the Savings Banks. High prices
caused by tariff protection, which
fosters trusts and combinations and
creates monopoly they do not in
every case force the withdrawal of
savings, certainly prevent adding to
the store. Those who have been self
denying enough to save will rarely
spend their saving except through an
extreme necessity. What crime it is,
therefore, TO tax necessities that
should be free-to enable the protect
ed few to profit at the expense of the
many!
This high protective tariff tax is a
two-edged sword. It decreases impor-
tations that would compete with the
products Of our trusts and combines,
and allows the prices of home products
TO be increased nearly to the same lev
el as the imported articles. II the
tariff tax were reduced, the price at
which imported articles could be sold
would be relatively lower; and to pre-
serve their trade, the home manufact-
ur2rs would have 10 also reduce the
price Of their products.
The protectionists declare that TO
reduce the tariff on manufactured pro-
ducts would make paupers of the work
men employed, beause they would
have to compete with the pauper lab
or Of Europe and elsewhere. But eX-
pcrienGe in England shows that since
the free trade era began, the wages
for all kind Of labor have risen over
100 per cent, and the government saw
ings banks have more deposits year
after year.
Then, there is the further experience
OF Germany and France since those
countries adopted high protection as
their policy; commodities have so nd
yanced in price that there is great un-
rest among the working men and those
with small salaries, and demands are
being made TO reduce the tariff taxes,
which, as in the United States, protect
the manufacturers at the expense Of
the consumers.
One can hardly wonder, therefore that
with yiugsdecreasing and the price Of
necessities continually incr"2a!ar there
is a strong trenG toward Democracy,
which stands for tariff ioI revenue in
stead Of tariff for protection.

DEAD EAIILRES.

The reason we have so many dead
failures is that parents decide for chill
dren what they shall do, or children
themselves, wrought on by some whim
or fancy, decide for themselves SO
we have now in pulpits men making
sermons who ought to be in black
smith shops making plowshares, and
we have in the law those who instead
Of running the cases of their clients
ought to be pounding shoe lasts, and
doctors who are the worst hindranc-
eS to their patients convaleScence, and
artists trying to paint landscapes who
ought to be whitewashing board fenc-
es. While there are others making
bricks who ought to be remodeling
constitutions, or showing planes who
ought to be transforming literature.
There are are children who early
develop natural af1lnities for certain
styles of work. When the father of
the astronomer Forbes was going to
London he asked his children what he
should bring each Que of them. The
boy who was to be an astronomer
cried out, Bring me telescope"
And there are children whom you
find all by themselves drawing on
their states or on paper, ships or
birds, and you know they are to be
craftsmen or artists of some kind. And
you find others ciphering out difficult
problems with rare interest and sue
cess, and you know they are to be
mathematicians. And others making
wheels and strange cOntrivances, and
you know they are going to be ma
chinists. And others are found expert
menting with hoe and pillow and sickle
and you know they will be farmers.
And others are always swapping Jack
knives or balls or bats and making
something on the bargin and they are
going to be merchants.

There are several reasons why the
law against venting oleomargarine, as
butter should be rigidly enforced. Per-
sons who have country butter TO sell
should not be subjected TO dishonest
competition. Persons who wish to buy
country butter should not he defrauded
by oleomargarine dealers who wish 20
sell a disguised commodity. Oleomar-
garine is not poision, but neither is IL
butter
The conviction Of an oleomargarine
dealer upon eighty-three counts out OF
a total Of 1913 indicates that the dealer
did sell oleomargarine as butter. As
sufning that he did he practiced a
fraud upon the consumer, for which
he ought TO be fined sufficiently 10

lar nature. And his activities militat-
ed against the interests Of the producers
OF country butter in manner that
should subject him TO severe penalties.

FOR THE HOME LIFE.

Married people are constantly be-
ing advised to "Neyer do things that
you know are against the wishes Of
the other one, much as you may de-
sire TO do so; above all things, have
no secrets from each other" Would
it not be much better way, if both
the husband and the wife could rca-
lie that, while they may be 'one'
in many directions, in many others,
the oneness can never be maintained.
"Jack" will always be a man Tor should
be), while "Jill" will always be
a woman, and they see life from very
different viewpoints, no matter how
good and DESTROYS of making the other
happy each may be. Men, apparently,
do not need to learn this lesson, and
the finer the man, the more things
there are in which to become interest
ed Women would have much happ-
Ter life, if they would but recognize
this truth. For it is in the nature of
things that all marriages can not
be happy ones, and TO every one must
come some disappointments and dis
ilmsionments. Men and women should
learn TO compromise, and each make
the most of what is interesting to
him or her, keeping in mind al
ways the harmonyof the home. Many
things are hurtful which should, witha
proper understanding, be harmless.
and in manycases, givingup what is
desirable to the one because the other
does not like it, no matter how inno-
cent the character of the pleasure.
has resulted in u matrimonial rupture
which no indulgence could have
brought about. The world is full Of
interesting things, and it is sheer sell
fishness for either the husband or the
wife to make rules of life for each
other simply because they have taken
up life'S duties together. Men can
never understand why woman cries.
or why she frets, or why she "nags,"
but there's reasonln and just the
same, women can never understand
why men like to smoke, or swear,
or fight the political game. We
must each Of us try to make the most
OF every good thing, and see as little
of the bad as possible, and remember
that in marriage, as in other matters,
