Have You Ever
Tried Steam
Cooked Oatmeal?
The Only Method That
Brings Out the Real
Flavor of the Oats.

II you are one of the few people who
do not eat oatmeal, the chances are
that ii is due to your never having
tried the right kind.
Oatmeal in itself is a wonderful food,
but its full possibilities were never
realized until the discovery of a pro-
cess of cooking ii at a very high tenn
perature under steam pressure. This
not only gives the oatmeal rich, nut
ty, delicious flavor, but makes it cas-
lily digestible by the most delicate
stomach.
The Oatmeal produced by this eXclu-
sive process is put up for the market
in specially cardboard cartons
under the name of HO Oatmeal.
There is so much difference between
H-O Oatmeal and the ordinary kinds
as to admit of no comparison. After
once cooking and tasting the H-O
brand, you will never allow any other
kind of oatmeal to come into your
house.
HO Oatmeal contains nearly twice
as much tissue building material as
cornmeal, rice, white flour bread or
soda crackers. 1t is good for every
body-young and old, weak and strong
alike.

On the other hand, the Gallipoli PENN

barely dozen miles wide at the broadcast
point, and at Bulair, where 1t joins the
mainland, hardly three. Across a level
plain here, under fire Of the fleet, runs
the only highway connecting the Turks
with their base. The Bulair isthmus is
rather like the neck of the bottle-shaped
Gallipoli peninsula. Could the Allies oc-
cupy 1t tho Turks would have TO depend
upon ships for supplies, reinforcements
and ammunition.
So complete was the first failure Of the
Allies that there will be little expectation
Of any prompt success now. Santiago
took several weeks. Sebastopol, which
will come to the European mind as San
tiago to the American, took months. Only
the similar operations Of the French be-
fore Algiers in 1880 were promptly success
full. Yet the political circumstances are
such that the Allies are now bound to
complete what they have undertaken, cost
what it may.
Sofia, Athens, Bucharest and Rome will
watch the present operation with greatest
attention. Beside it the second battle of
Ypres is a minor incident. Upon its issue
hangs the fate of Turkey, the decision of
Bulgaria and Greece, the final resolve Of
Italy and Rumania. Allied defeat here
would be a moral disaster Of almost meal
culable magnitude. But Allied victory
would be hardly less farreaching IN its
consequence.

where his fate is now being decided. Alex

Another Menace to Factory Workers.

Mayor Mitchel's veto has disposed of
the Lockwood Ellenbogen bill menacing
various city departments under guise of
reforming real estate inspections, but
there is pending before Governor Whit
man a bill almost equally dangerous.
That is Senator Sanders's measure, passed
without a hearing in the hurly-burly of
the legislative wind-up. This measure
provides that in cities Of the first class
the labor laws provisions dealing with
building construction and fire prevention
shall not be enforced by the Labor De-
partment but by the local building au-
thorities.
This bill is decidedly bad. II would not
simplify inspections or remove conflicts
of authority between departments, in this
city at least. 1t would bring new con-
fusion and division of authority. II would
put on the building authorities work they
have not the facilities to handle. 1t
would take away the Labor Departments

A Question Answered.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: II is with feelings of sorrow that
have read your editorials belaboring the Re
publican administration at Albany.
In all fairness ask you, Who is response
BILE for the high tax rate?
Are not the Democratic administrations Of
Dix, Sulzer and Glynn the real cause Of the
increased taxation?
Governor Whitman and the Republican ma
iority in the Legislature of 1915 have done
great service to the state by showing the
shortcomings Of the previous Democratic ad-
ministratons. The Tribune is in error in
holding up the Republican administration at
Albany to scorn. There never sat in the
Governors chair more honest man than
Charles s. Whitman. Speaker Sweet and
Lieutenant Governor Schoeneck and Mr.. Hin
man. of the Assembly and Mr.. Brown, Of the
Senate, are incorruptible leaders.
VIII The Tribune kindly give an explana-
ton why it, as a Republican newspaper, de-
tends the mistakes of the Democratic admin
istrations of Dix, Sulzer and Glynn? | al
ways thought The Tribune was q Republican
paper until last year, when it advocated the
election OF Franklin Brooks to the Assembly
in opposition to Martin Bourke who had been
nominated at the Republican primaries with
out opposition. The Republicans of this AS
sembly district rallied to the support of
Martin Bourke and he defeated Franklin
Brooks by about 1000 plurality.
Again, why is The Tribune the defender
Of the corrupt Democratic administrations Of
Dix, Sulzer and Glynn?
