It Has Been Proven that Microbes Cause Baldness Professor I Una <>f Hamburg, Germany, nnd Dr. Sabouratul, the lending French dermatologist, dis covered lluil a microbe causes bald ness. Their theory has time and again boon amply verified through research experiments carried on under the observation of eminent scientists. This microbe lodges in tho Sebum, which i-; the natural hair oil. and when permitted to llourish it destroys tho hair follicles and in time tho pores entirely close, and the scalp gradually takes on a shitty appenrnnco. When this hap pens there i- no hope of tho growth of hair being revived.

(' The highest medical authority on foods, Sir James Cric'aton Browne, LL.D.?F.R.S. of London, gives the best reasons for er.ling more Tn an article published in the Youth's Companion of Septem ber 23rd, 1909, Dr. Browne, the great medical authority on foods, says, about brain and muscle building? "There is one kind of food that seems to me of marked value as a food to the brain and to the whole body throughout childhood and adolescence (youth), and that is oatmeal. "Oats are the most nutritious of all the cereals, being richer in fats, organic phosphorus and lecithins.'' lie says oatmeal is gaining ground with the well-to-do ol Great Britain. He speaks of it as the mainstay of the Scottish laborer's diet and says it pro duces a big-boned, well-devel oped, mentally energetic race. His experiments prove that good oatmeal such as Quaker Oats not only furnishes the best food for the human being, but eating it strengthens and en larges the thyroid gland?this gland is intimately connected with the nourishing processes of the body. In conclusion he says?? "It seems probable therefore that the hulk and brawnincss of the Northerners (meaning 'die Scotch) has been in some measure due to the stimulation ol the thyroid gland by oatmeal porridge in childhood.'1 The Scotch eat Quaker (Vit? because it i; the best of all oat meals.
