- . Why We Are Stronger. .
The old Greeks and Romans were
great admirers of health and strength ;
their pictures and statuary made the
muscles of the men stand out like
cords.
As a matter of tact we have ath-
letes and strong men - men fed on
fine strength making food such as
Quaker Oats-that would win in any
contest with the , old Roman or Greek :
champions.
It's a matter of food. The finest food
for making strength of bone , muscle
and nerve is fine oatmeal. Quaker
Oats is the best because it is pure , no
husks or stems or black specks. Farm
ers' wives arc finding that by feeding
, the farm hands plentifully on Quaker
Oats they get the best results in work
and economy. If you are convenient
to the store , buy the regular size / ' . .Ck-I
ages ; if not near the store bl' . . the
- . . . large siz'd family" package. 2

A Letter From Mrs. Rich =

Brady , Neb , Sept. 9 , 1909.
Thinking that some might wish
to hear of pur progress , will write
a few lines for TUB DEMOCRAT ,
which seenK'quite natural.
\\Teareallaswell as could be
expected. The first six days of
our trip were very hard-the
fierce-- ;
sandhills were something - -
but since that we have seen some
fine country on the Loup and ,
Platte rivers. Our horses are in
fine condition , considering thje :
roads. One day we only ruade \
miles but I could not explain dfl
paper the terrible sand hills we
came over. We are now at our
old friends , E. S. Boleros. Many
Cherry county people will remem-
ber him as the eldest son of Mrs.
beLevine
Ervine Bristol. Elbert has a fine
home , a lovely little wife and a
boy 2years old , a bright , hearty
little fellow. They have a fine 11
room house and outside improve-
ments in proportion , a fine apple
orchard that makes one think of
childhood days when we could sit
in the branch of a tree and eat all
the apples we could hold and the
(50c ( a peck ) proposition didn't
worry us in the least. Our stay
here will be indefinite as Dick and
Elbert are going down to Lincoln
tonight to combine business and
pleasure and will take in the last
day of the fair.
With good luck and good bye to
those we failed to see we will try
to : write more about our travel and
* cation when we get settled. " . \ ,
