The Best Food for Workers
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 Pro
fessor Fisher of Yale University in
1908 In addition to the regular pack
age Quaker Oats is packed in large
sized family packages either with or
without china dishes S

BREAKFAST
It Should Bo a Substantial Meal Says
a Phycician
It is custom lo make the first
nioal of tho di slightly the lightest
and distinctly tho plainest uud sim
plest of the three If there be any
deticlency of the ajpetite breakfast is
the ioul at which this is most likely
to kmv itself Hut this hick of appe
tite is in nine cases out of ten clearly

at this time Fei ivtly healthy men
who slcvp with their windows omcu
and gy to bed at a reasonable hour will
tell you that they enjoy their break
fast as well as any other meal of the
day and many even call it their best
meal
Another popular delusion in regard
to the lightness and unimportance of
tlio breakfast is that widespread sub
terfuge the continental breakfast
consist in of a cup of coffee and some
fruit or a single roll This is a very
pretty breakfast as far as it goes but
it doesnt go far and the solo basis for
Its adoptioii on the continent is that it
Is only intended as a temporary tide
over until the real breakfast of meat
eggs lish etc which is taken at about
10 or 11 oclock like a very early
luncheon If you havent got a good
appetite for breakfast make it your
business to co and get one instead of
allowing yourself to be blinded in this
morbid state of affairs and deciding
that all you really need is a cup of
coffee and a roll or an orange Dr

A TENNYSON STORY
The Poets Mistake and the Way He
Tendered an Apology
Englands great poet Tennyson was
a somewhat gruff and formidable man
whose manner with curious strangers
was by no moans and pleasant
Once a young woman who had been
just introduced to the great man at
Freshwater was loft alone with him
on the seashore She stood in immense
awe of the poet and therefore did not
interrupt him as he sat speechless
gazing straight ahead of him iit the
sea
The long silence was broken at last
In an astonishing manner by Tenny
son He was going to open his lips and
utter some lovely thought the young
woman imagined Instead he opened
thorn and in gruff and gloomy tones
gave voice to this remark
You creak
The girl started back in horror
Tennyson added an explanation
You creak Your stays creak
This so startled the young woman
that she ran away and went indoors
where a large company she found
was gathered together over tea In a
little time Tennyson appeared a vague
expression on his countenance as
though something had gone wrong
with him The girl now accounting
him possibly mad and certainly impo
lite tried hard to hide away from him
In vain nis eagle eye found her out
ne threaded his way among the other
guests toward her took her hand and
said in resonant tones before the whole
company of them
My dear I beg your pardon I find
it was my braces

for it by retailing Margarets triumphs

reply to a question Margaret is way

Theyve been reading Shakespeares

All Probable Future Events Arranged

rw in nuvance
On the appointed evening I arrived
at the given time and after iu ex
cellent dinner at which all members
of both families were present we re
pairod to the great drawing room
whore the chairs had been arranged in
a semicircle about two small round
tables Presently two grave old gen
tlemen thf family notaries who had
not been seen to smile during the
whole dinner I col their seats In front
nl l tables and when we were all
assembled the elder commenced to
read a long memoir whii li he an
nounced h hul compiled with the help
of his colleague Then to my utter
amazement he began to name all the
possessions of the future bride and
bridegroom so many bonds anil mort
gages so many houses farms wood
lands prairies articles of personal
adornment furniture and jewels the
ways in which they might be used or
disposed of what would happen in
case no children were born of the
marriage in case of death of one
tht other of the parties In fact all
the misfortunes all the most terrible
and saddest events had boon foreseen
and cold chills began running down
my back as I heard each new ease
mentioned I was Indignant I posi
tively revolted Why were miserable
finest ions of business allowed to fore
shadow the charming union of thev
two young people who had known ami
loved each other since childhood anil
whose true and pure affection was in
nocentof all monetary interests Could
not all have been spared them
The next day I frankly opened m
heart to Jeanne and her mother ex
plaining the sensations I had eperi
enced the previous evening and say
ing that in my country when two poi
sons were about to marry as long a
there was love on both sides and the
man was able to support his wife all
such questions were usually left undis
cussed
They both listened to me somewhat
astonished and then Jlmc de U
whose great good sense has alwajs
convinced me replied smilingly
But my dear for us marriage is
not only the joining of two young and
loving hearts We go further and con
sider the generations to come the
founding of a new family a home
As every one knows the first years
are often the most difficult and we
therefore take precautions to smooth
the paths of our children by settling
in their presence all business matters
once and forever and arranging things
so that the new life may develop un
der the best of circumstances Scrib

ing
Mr Hook the late royal academician
was once says Mr W H Hudson in
his book on the Lands End on the
sands at Whitesand bay working at i
marine picture when two natives came
up and planted themselves just behind
him There was nothing the artist
hated more than to be watched b
strangers over his shoulders in this
way and pretty soon he wheeled
around on them and angrily asked
them how long they were going to
stand there
His manner served to arouse their
spirit and they replied brusquely that
they were going to stay as loug as they
thought proper
He insisted on knowing just how
long they were going to stay there to
his annoyance and by and hi after
some more loud and angry discussion
one of them incautiously declared they
would stand at that very spot for an
hour
Do you mean that shouted nook
pulling out his watch
Yes they returned they would not
stir one inch from that spot for an
hour
Very well he said and pulled up
his easel thou marching off to a dis
tance of thirty yards he set it up
again and resumed his painting
And there within thirty yards of
his back the two men stood for one
hour and a quarter for as they did
uot have a watch they were afraid of
going away before the hour had ex
pired Then they marched off
Franklin as a Swimmer

Into the river With them and some
of their friiids from the country he
paid a visit by water to Chelsea and
in our return he recorded at the
request of the company whose curi

and leaped into the river and swam
from near Chelsea to Blackfriars per
forming on the way many feats of
activity both upon and under the
water that surprised and pleased
