. One day a lady who had been reared
in the careful luxury of the old-fashioned

kitchijn of a great Chicago hotel. She
wanted to go , but was afraid. When

Good housewives consider cleanliness
and purity first of all ; that's why Quaker
Oats is their choice among all oatmeals.
In making Quaker Oats the grain is
silted and rcsifted , passing through more
than fifty processes of cleaning before it
is cooked and rolled.
If you took a handful of oats and
scrubbed and polished and wiped each
separate grain , it wouldn't then be nearly i
as clean as Quaker Oats. No human
hand ever touches a single grain of
Quaker Oots from the field to your
kitchen. The best advice on foods you
could have is : Eat Quaker Oats every
morning for breakfast.
You'll find Ouaiier Oats put up in
two size packages , the regular size and
the large , family size for those who are
not convenient to the sl re.

Last Thursday as we went to

County Judge Quigley in which

asking for damages of § 100 for the
killing of a bull who happened co
trespass on the right-of-way and
locked horns with the locomotive
on one of the trains which disput
ed Master Bovine's
right-of-way ,
and the result was that Master
Bovine tumbled into the ditch.
Mr. Kellar had a number of his
neighbors with him as witnesses to
the value of the animal and in accordance -
cordance with their testimony the
county judge awarded Mr , Kellar
§ 100 , the amount of damage claim
ed. Max. E. Vip.rtel , Francis
McDermott , Fred Grpen. Edward
Pike , James McLaughlin , John j
Adamson and P.H. Young testified
a s to the value of the animal killed.
J udge Quigley was prompt in his
decision of questions raised by the
opposing counsel as to the admissibility -
bility of evidence anrl the case was
just as promptly decided at the
close- There was no dispute
further than as to the value of the
animal and that was determined by
the evidence of men well qualified
to judge in the matter because of
their acquaintance with the ani
mal in question , knowledge of
stock and of prevailing prices.
