Quaker Oats porridge with sugar an< m^L cream or milk is the greatest break fast in the world for a man who need: HV/' vigor and strength for a long day': work. The man that eats Quaker Oat: plentifully and often is the man wli< B does good work without excessive fa tigue. There is a sustaining qualit: in Quaker Oats not found in othe: foods, and for economy it is at th< head of the list. To meet needs o those in different climates Quakei HT Oats is packed in regular size pack ages and hermetically sealed tins HB the latter for hot climates. ; MISTRIAL ORDERED IN RLAIK CASE.
