Long ago the Scotch learned this.
The sturdy old Scotchman must be
amused at the recent "discoveries" that
oatmeal is the best food in the world.
Our scientific men have been making
experiments which * prove that Ameri
cans eat too much fat and grease and
not enough cereals.
The Scotchmen say : "Look at our
nation as proof. The sturdiest nation
on earth. " Still we have one good point
to make. We make better oatmeal than
the Scotch.
They buy. * Quaker Oats and consider
it the .leader of all oatmeals to be had ]
'anywhere. If you are convenient to
"the store yo'ti'l ! probably buy thb
regular size package. For those who
live ia the country the large size family
- package is more satisfactory. Follow
.the example of the Scotch ; eat a Quaker
Gats "breakfast every day.

Accidently Shoots Himself
On March 21 , 1909 , Elver E.
Kalya , aged 13 years , son of Mr.
and Mrs. Edward G. Ralya , ac-
cidently shot himself at the Rake
ranch , about 30 miles south of
Valentine : He had just returned
from a duck hunt.on the lake near
the house at about six o'clock p3
m. , and after getting out of . , the
boat reached for his shot gun
which was still in the boat , pulling
it toward him , holding the end of
the barrel. In some way the ham
mer caught and the gun was dis
charged , inflicting a fatal wound
in his right breast from the effects
of which he died two hours later.
The report of the gun attracted
the attention of the family at tha
house who observed him sinking
to the ground and resting in a sit
ting position. They rushed down
to .where he was , found him un
conscious and carried him to the
house where he shortly rallied and
regained consciousness for a short
time , called the members of the
family to the beside and kissed
the'm goodbye. Observing their
grief the brave little man told
them not to cry , that he felt he
was going to get better but wished
the doctor would hurry up and
come to stop the bleeding. The
doctor had been summoned by
phone but arrived too late to be of
any assistance.
He leaves a loving father and
mother , a brother , Earl , and two
sisters , Miss Echo and Miss Etlv1 ,
who was at Kennedy teaching
school
The funeral services where held
at the Rake ranch , conducted by
Rev. A. F. Cumbow , and attended
by the relatives and many frienJs
and neighbors , from whence the
remains were taken to Valentine
for burial , accompanied by rela
tives and friends.
Mr. and Mrs. Ralya have the
henrfefclb eiympattny o-f a host of
friends and neighbors in this their
bereavement , COMMUNICATED.

ly , after but five days' illness , of
