Cereal Cooker for One Dollar
To Any Housewife
Who Missed It
Omc more \vc make this oft'er, but for
unc' week only.
A million homes have been supplied
with tiic ideal Quaker Cookers. But
couuttcss ik w homes in the past year
hive adopted Quaker Oats.
t A wave of economy, plus wheatless
meals, have multiplied oat-food users.
And millions of thein — to get this match-
less flavor — are using Quaker Oats.
We want those new users to have
Conkers too. So we repeat this remark-
able offer.
I'be cost of aluminum has doubled.
Conker prices have enormously advanced.
Hut we make new users the same offer
that we made to old. W e will send this
big aluminum Cooker for onh $1. all
charges prej id, under offer made below.
This oiler is for i.ne week only. It ap
plies only to those who have no Quaker
Cooker now. If you are one of them we
urge you to accept it.

A Million Homes
Supplied
\\ e have supplied over a million users
of Quaker Oats with an ideal way to cook
them, l'he, purpose is to have Quaker
' )ats cooked rightlv.
Quaker Oats—flaked from queen grains
only — has a wealth of flavor. Right
conking keeps that flavor intact. It makes
the oat dish doubly delightful — makes it
easy to digest.
So we had this Cooker made to our
order —an ideal double cooker. It is ex-
tra large, so little or much can be cooked
in it. It is extra heavy, made to last a
lifetime.
I hat is the Cooker —made of pure
aluminum— which we offer this week for
one dollar, under the conditio-,'.; below.
It you are serving Quaker Oats, or if you
will, we want you to have this Cooker.

Buy from your grocer Hvc packages of Quaker Oats, or of Quaker Best Corn Meal, or five packages

then send this cooker to you, all charges prepaid. This oiTer is good for one week only, and it
applies to this vicinity alone. Address,

The Two Chief War-Time Food
Quaker Oats
At Vf* the Cost of Meat
(Jttaker Oats, measured by food units, is* twice as nutritious as round
stedflc. tt supplies nutrition at a cost of five cents j>er 1000 calories.
Meats, on the average, cost eight times as much for the same food value.
i'-ffgs cost ten times as much. N oil can serve six dishes of Quaker Oats for
the cost of a single egg.
Mic oat stands supreme among grain foods, in nutrition and in flavor.
It far exceeds wheat in food units.
It-is the c.iergy food and the food for growth It supplies everv needed
element in just the right proportion. It should be your basic food.
Quaker Oats is flaked from queen grains only—just the big. rich, fla-
vory oats. We get but ten pounds from a bushel. So in this brand you get a
wondrous flavor without any extra price. All oat foods are doubly delight-
if made with ( Hiaker Oats
Quaker Best Corn Meal
The Best 60% of the Corn
Next to oats in economy conies Corn .Meal. \\ e make an exquisite corn
meal, and put it up in sealed round packages.
In Quaker Corn Meal.we use the cream of the c< rn —about 60 per cent
ot the kernel.
The fibrous outer coat is removed, because it ui ikes corn meal coarse.
The oily germ is removed, because the oil grows rancid. Just the hominy
part —yellow or white—is ground to make Quaker Corn Meal.
The result is superlative corn meal, yellow or white. The yellow looks
like grains of gold — the white like marble dust. It makes bread and muffins,
porridge, puddings and pancakes vastly better than any crude corn meal.
Get the Yellow or White in round packages with tops. See how good
corn meal can be.

Ercellent spi,rit was evident ev-
i erywhere among the several thousand
recruits recently arriving at Camp
Travis. The 2!l from Cleveland coun-
ty who were attached to the 44th
Co., 11th Bn., lG5th Depot Brigade,
claim that they are far better satis-
fied than they had any idea would
be possible. The food is better, the
officers are much kinder, they get
better quarters and their clothing and
other equipment was Issued to them
much sooner than they had believed
would be possible. Excellent shower
baths with both hot and cold water
are provided, and this necessity was
looked on as a most enjoyable and
unexpected treat when the recruits ar-
rived and were told that they must
keep clean at all times.
In addition to personal cleanliness
one of the first lesons of the reoruit
I is to learn to keep things clean in und

However, very little trash is drop-
j ped outdoors now One joke is to
j ask some one if he has an extra pock-
et not already filled with burned
matches. A slow rain for several days
necessitated scrubbing of all tne win-
dows and floors of the buddings One
rookie says he understands why the
Russian women entered the war. No
doubt, there-are many who see where
they could have mother's burden
lighter since they do not have "moth-
er here to take care of them."
The men are entering into their
rduties witih eiUhufit usip, and will
very likely advance in their training
much faster than did those who canie
down last fall. In addition to their
work they will indulge in baseball,
j swimming, track meets, and all other
I outdoor sports. The 44th company
: has a victrola and a good assortment

zines are provided quite liberally, as
well as dominoes, and other games.
