A short time ago there appeared in the columns of one of the prominent magazines an article on building brain and muscle by the proper selection of the foods you eat. A good many people were surprised ] to find oatmeal placed at the top of tha list of foods recommended; but if the ' article had appeared in an English or i Scotch paper every reader would have expected to see first place given to good oatmeal. As a matter of fact Great Britian and Europe come to us for tremendous quantities of Quaker Oats because it represents to them perfect food, being the richest in flavor and best in cleanliness and purity, of all oatmeals.

A f J Organized in 1904 as a savings D bank?an experiment hitherto un- R tried in Abbeville County?in com- D petition with one National bank H and one State bank ; enjoying all fl the patronage thought obtainable, I with a capital of $21,800, it opened H its doors and invited a share of H public confidence. In two years thereafter it begcn paying dividends. At the present time, with a paid-up capital of ?21,800, deposits of $135,888.48, a surplus of $14,000 and undivided profits of $8,317 and paying 10 per cent, per annum, its future is assured. The above-mentioned facts warrant the assumption that it possesses a welldefined business policy sufficiently aggressive to attract, while conservatively retaining, its liberal patronage. The secrets of its success in this community would seem to be found in the honesty and integrity of its management, close application to detail, economy of administration, and absolute free aom irom speculative lenuencies. The officers are Messrs. S. G. Thomson, President; G. A. IJJeuffer, Vice-President; R. E. Cox, Cashier; W. F. Nickles, Assistant Cashier. A general banking business is carried on and four per cent, per annum is paid on savings deposits, compounded and paid quarterly. The directorate is composed of the following well-known gentlemen : Messrs. S. G. Thomson, G. A. Neuffer, W. E. Owen, J. F. Clinkscales, H. G. Anderson, C. S. Jones, F. B. Gary, 1\. E. Cox, and R.
