Follow this advice,

Quaker Scotch Oats is the best Of
all foods; 1t is also the cheapest. When
such men as Prof. Fisher of Yale Uni
versity and Sir James Crichton Browne,
LL.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 differ
ent foods, it 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 Scotch Oats. The powers of
endurance of the non-meat eaters were
about eight times those of the meat
eaters.
Sir James Crichton Browne says
eat more oatmeal, eat plenty of it and
eat it frequently. SO
Buy it in the regular package, or in her

fashioned blackboard drawn by the

N UEL GAMBLER of Mississippi Is
one of the most retiring and unoO-
trusive members Of the lower house OF
the national legislature. Representa-
tive Gambler is more generally known
as "Tombigbee" Gambler because once
more than a year ago, he begged the
house not to forget that majestic
stream, the Tombigbee river Of Mis-
sissippi in it's river and harbor appro-
priation bill.
Mr.. Gambler, according to the con-
gressional directory. was for nine
years moderator of the TishomingO
Baptist association of Mississippi.
Therefore, since his appearance in the
halls of congress in 1901 Mr.. Gambler
has eschewed the theater. That form
Of amusement was against the tenets
Of his faith. MI. Gambler, however, is
an exponent of the under-canvas
drama. He likes the circus.
