The best food for those who work with hand or brain is never high priced. The best example of this is found in Quaker Oats. It stands at the top among foods that supply nourishment and vigor, without taxing the diges* tion, and yet it is the least expensive food one can eat. This great food value and low cost make it an ideal food for families who want to get the greatest good from what they eat. Laborers, factory or farm hands, fed plentifully on Quaker Oats will work better and with less fatigue than if fed on almost any other kind of food. All of these facts were proved and very interesting information about human foods were gathered by Professor Fisher of Yale University in "1 HAO Vr*nM1 fin/?

Only four out of the entire number were found to be without scars. Barkoot made many friends here. He is polite and attentive, never forgetting the little .amenities expected of a show man.
