Do farmers eat the proper sort Of food'

Do farmers eat the proper sort OF food7
The farmer Of today buys much
larger proportion of the food that goes
on the table than he did ten years ago.
It's good thing that this is so because
he has a 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 ana
greatest mental vigor.
Farmers should give this subJec'
careful thought and should increase
the quantity of Quaker Oats eaten by
themselves, their children and the
farm hands. "
