army officers entirely to him. All the
general will now have to do to secure
Continental officers of his own choos-

appointees on forms already provided

act of Congress is a mark of con-
fidence in Gen. Washington which he
doubtless values highly in this period

him to come by some back way in or

NEW DATA
The name that brings smiles to
breakfast

New Data is a new name-but it is
one well worth remembering. For New
Data brings you the first real improve
ment made on oats in more than fifty
years. It is one of the world 8 best
foods-a delicious new blend of oats
and whole wheat, including the bran.
New Data was developed in the ia
nous Kellogg kitchens at Battle Creek
where Kellogg's Corn Flakes, ALL
BRAN and Pep are made. 1t was de-
signed to give you an ideal hot cereal
for cool mornings-a food that would
be even more nourishing than oatmeal.
New Data is made for the modern
woman, too. 1t is pre-cOoked, so you
need boil it only three minutes and
then serve.
You can't imagine how different
New Data is from most hot cereals. It
is light in texture-never soggy, mushy
or gluey. Its flavor is new - de-
liciously new and different. It is the
best-balanced breakfast food. Ask
your grocer for Kellogg's 3 New Data.
