Rolled
Oats

This is the time Of year when Rolled
oats are in the greatest demand, when
stocks are largely exhausted and the
manufactured product is not available
from the new crop until late in the
Fan. To overcome this condition that
seems to occur annually, we have or
dered from our st. Louis connection
over $4,000 bags Of Rolled Oats and
have placed them in the hands of the
New England wholesalers and grocers
at price that will enable the consumer
TO purchase a bag Of Rolled oats at a
price consistent to the feeding value
much less than any other product fol-
human consumption.
We suggest every family order a 90
pound bag of Rolled Oats from theiI
grocer. Rolled Oats and Cream OF
Maize are considered the best substi
tutos TO use with wheat -four. A person
can do much work easier by eating
Oatmeal than by using any other cereal
or meat.

woMAN's DEVOTION TO HOME

Home duties to many women appear
more important than health No matter
how i'll they feel, they drag themselves
through their daily tasks, overdo and
pay the penalty in headaches, backache,
dragging down pains and nervousness;
they become irritable, and finally dis
cover that some form of female com
paint has fastened itself upon them.
When woman gets into this condition
there is one tried and true remedy
made from the roots and herbs of the
field, Lydia E. Pinkham 5 Vegetable
Compound, which for more than forty
years has continued its great work
among women in restoring health after
many other remedies have failed

Mrs. Hen could hardly keep still
she was so happy. She stood on one
