RADIO, came home for the funeral.

dians required to send children to

TALLY equivalent at least to the in

The heaviest thunder storm
of the year struck this locality about
8 O'Clock Wednesday night and last

fell and was accompanied by a
strong wind and hail. Everybody
who had storm cellar was there
good part of the evening. r. j.

farm northeast of town was struck
by lightning and destroyed with all
it's contents. We were unable to
ascertain the amount of his loss or
whether it was insured. A tree

been much worse north of here
and it is reported that terrific wind
storm did much damage at Milan,

We'll Pay $4,000
For Letters About Oatmeal

food for growing children nothing
takes their place.
Yet only two thirds of the homes
in America regularly serve oatmeal
In but half of the homes is it a daily
diet. So we ask you who know what
oatmeal does to help us inform the rest.
For the 1S5 letters which best serve
this purpose we offer the following
prizes:

What We Seek

From men and women in position
to know them, we seek for other facts
like these.
But we also want facts from indi-
vidual experience. Many mother
has seen wondrous examples of how
children thrive on oatmeal.
Many a brain worker has learned
from experience how much such work
ers need the phosphorus in oats.
Many a muscle worker knows how
oatmeal adds to ones endurance
Many person, when in need of more
vigor, has tried 3O-day diet of oats.
Doubtless many old people who still
retain youth know that oatmeal has
helped them do it. We ask for all
these facts.
No letters or names will be pub
lished. But the facts, when impor-
tant, will be carried by us to tens of
millions of people. The letters most
helpful to people in general will be the
prize winning letters.

before noon they become entirely in
capable.
Sir Critchton-Browne, high Eng
lish authority, cites experiments on
animals which show how oatmeal de-
velops the thyroid gland.
DR.. Arnold Lorand, in his book,
cold Age Deferred" shows how this
gland affects ones apparent age. 1t
is argued that proper care of these
ductless glands can ward off age as
much as twenty years.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1911-10-08

We ask letters from people giving
actual examples of the good one de-
rives from oatmeal.
The main facts about oats are quite
generally known. Oats are richer in
elements that feed brains, nerves and
bodies than any other grain that
grows.

nothing compares with oats. AS a

Valuable Facts

Here are samples of facts which we
regard as being of value to others.
Archdeacon Sinclair, an Englishman,
says that in his family and his fathers
family there were twenty six-footers,
all brought up on oatmeal.
The Director of Athletics in great
university states that oatmeal is the
food for athletes. 1t has been with
him regular diet for over forty years.
The superintendent of a school for
delinquent boys says that these boys,
when fed largely on oatmeal, show
immediate and marked improvement.
A physician of the tenements, deal
ing largely with children who are wan
and incapable says their greatest lack is
proper nutrition. In those sections
only one home in twelve is an oatmeal
home
A nerve specialist states that Ave
non ian extract of oats has proved
itself one of our greatest tonics.
A superintendent in charge of 1000
woodsmen in Maine, after consulting
with experts, has adopted oatmeal as
the chief food for endurance
A teacher whose pupils rarely get
oatmeal says the children lack con-
centration. Their usual breakfast
fails to fit them for study. Two hours
