Follow this advice.

Quaker Oats is the best of all foods;
II is also the cheapest. When such
men as Prof. Fisher of Yale University
and Sir James Crichton Browne,
IL. D.-F.R.S. OF London spend the
best parts OF their lives In studying
the great question of the nourishing
and strengthening qualities of different
foods, II Is certain that their advice is
absolutely safe to follow.
Professor Fisher found In his ex-
periments for testing the strength and
endurance of athletes that the meat
eaters were exhausted long before the
men who were fed on such food as
Quaker Oats. The powers OF endur-
ance OF the non-meat eaters were
about eight times those Of the meat
eaters.
Sir James Criohton Browne says
eat more oatmeal, eat plenty Of 1t and
eat il frequently. 81
