Follow this advice.

Quaker Oats is the best of all foods;
It is also the cheapest. When such
men as Prof. Fisher Of Yale University
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 nourishinS
and strengthening qualities of different
foods, 1t is certain that their advice il
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 ar
Quaker Oats. The powers of endur.
ance OF the non-meat eaters were
about eight times those of the meat
eaters.

workman won fight against his EN-
ploying firm. But he had the backing
of a newspaper and an able lawyer. In
other similar cases not one man in
ten would have won. They used to
say that the workman takes the risk.
But more recently the great con-
Germs are introducing employers liza
bility acts on their own accord with
out waiting for legislation, They still
are fighting the laws governing the
labor of women, and they have a
wrong idea of labor unions. But is
has not been many years ago that men
we're banished for forming a labor
union, or thrown in Jail if they tried
to hold meeting where workmen
might discuss the things that were of
interest to them all.
Old Doctrine Exploded.
President Roosevelt exploded the
great doctrine that a purchaser must
take the risk, and proved that this is
obsolete. The result was the pure
food law. l believe it was one of the
greatest achievements of the Roose-
welt administration. But We must 20

things about clothing, and everything
else one has to buy. 1t is not fair to
permit the unsophisticated to be cheat
ed in his purchase.
There also has been great strides
forward in the medical profession. In
the Bible, somewhere, there appears
something like this: And Nathan, be-
ing sick, trusted not in the Lord, but
called unto himself a physician. And
