ELAVOR is the a11-important point
Il in food. In oats it is probably
more important than in any other.
That is why people who once taste
the toasty richness of Quaker Oats
are spoiled thereafter for all others.
Quaker flavor is unique, toasty and
delightful. No other oats offers it
to you. Some so years were spent
perfecting it.
Quaker milling, too, retains much
of the bulk" of oats And that makes
laxatives less often needed. Protein,
carbohydrates, and vitamines and this
bulk are thus combined to make
Quaker Oats an excellently balanced
ration.
For your own sake, say Quaker"
when buying oats. Two kinds now at
groceries: Quick Quaker Cooks in 2
to S minutes) and Quaker Oats as
always.

MICHIGAN TO Use
SNOW PL0WS ON
COUNTRY ROADS

LANSINGy Mich, Feb. Sex,
periments to determine practicabil-
ity of winter touring in snow iso-
lated districts of northern Michigan
are to be made by the state high
way department this winter.
While the state has penetrated
the cut over country of the north
with net work of hard roads
which give every settler easy access
to centers of population eight
months of the wear, no attempt has
ever been made TO clear the huge
drifts of snow which block the
roads during the winter.
The highway department is max
ing plans for purchase of large ro-
tary plows which, officials believe,
will be capable of cutting the drifts
and making automobile travel from
Detroit and Chicago to the Straits
of Mackinac possible throughout the
year.
1t is planned to clear four princi-
pal north and south highways to
their northern terminus at the
Straits this year and to extend the
program next wear if the expert
mcnt is successful. This will in
volve plowing of 625 miles of road
north of the .'snow line.'' Cost of
snow removal in this territory is
estimated at 800 Il mile annually.
