A GOOD CITIZEN
A good citizen is one who
Supports his Government in
trying times like these now
confronting us, and who does it
without reservation.
The Southern Pacific Lines
are endeavoring to do their
share, and to maintain their
obligations to the Government
and to the people with justice
to both.
We want the co-operation of
our patrons in increasing the
efficiency of our service in ev-
ery direction, for only by co-or-
dinating our efforts and by a
sympathetic support of men
and measures can American in-
stitutions succeed and the
American flag typify a free-
dom, in support of which we are
now preparing to send our
youth to the firing line in Bel-
gium and France.

To Get This Big Aluminum

To Any Housewife
Who Mi**ed It
Or'i more rcaka %hD offer, but for
one week only.
A million hotn^s have been supplied
with the ideal Quaker Cookers. But
countless new homes in the past year
have adeptel Quaker Oats.
A wa< 2 of economy, plus vvheatless
have multiplied oat-food users.
And millions c' :hem — to get this match-
less flavor — are using Quaker Oats.
We want those new users to have
Cookers toe So wa repeat this remark-
able offer.
The cost of alunv'r-.r.m has doubled.
Cooker prices have enormously advanced.
But we make new timers the same offer
that we made to old. We will send this
big aluminum Cooker for only $1, all
charges prepaid, under offer made below.
This offer is for one 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.

Cereal Capacity 2% Qts.
Made to Last
a Lifetime
A Million Homes
Supplied
We have supplied over a million users
of Quaker Oats with an ideal way to cook
them. The purpose is to have Quaker
Oats cooked rightly.
Quaker Oats—flaked from queen grains
only — has a wealth of flavor. Right
cooking 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.
That is the Cooker — made of pure
aluminum — which we offer this week for
one dollar, under the conditions below.
If you are serving Quaker Oats, or if you
will, we want you to have this Cooker.
Brings It This Week
Huy from your grocer five packages of Quaker Oats, or of Quaker Best Corn Meal, or five packages
of the two combined. Send us your grocer's sales slip for the purchase and send $1 with it. We will
then send this cooker to you, all charges prepaid. This offer is good for one week only, and it
applies to this vicinity alone. Address,

The Two Chief War-Time Foods
Quaker Oats
At Yq the Cost of Meat
Quaker Oats, measured by food units, is twice as nutritious as round
steak. It supplies nutritk h at a cost of five cents per 1000 calories.
Meats, on the average, cost eight times as much for the same food value.
Eggs cost ton times as much. You can serve six dishes of Quaker Oats for
the cost of a single egg.
The oat stands sr.premc among grain foods, in nutrition and in flavor.
Jt far exceeds wheat in food units. X
It is the energy food and the food for growth. It supplies every needed
element in ju^t the right proportion. It should be your basic food.
Quaker Oats is flaked from queen grains only — just j_the fcig, 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-
ful if made with Quaker Oats.
Quaker Best Corn Meal
The Best 60% of the Corn
Next to oats in economy comes Cbrn Meal. We make an exquisite corn
meal, and put it up in sealed round packages.
In Quaker Corn Meal we use the cream of the corn — about 60 per cent
of the kernel.
The fibrous outer coat is removed, because it makes 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.

Because meats are so tasty
they are consumed in great ex-

PERUNA in Your Home
A housewife must give the first aid in colds, coughs and
other ailments. ^ Her promptness in applying the remedy often
saves a serious illness. Her experience with remedies has led
her to know that PERUNA is always reliable, that she should
have it on hand for the immediate treatment of coughs and
colds, and that it is always to her
Hie Family .
Safeguard
The experience of one
woman, given herewith, is
typical of thousands of let*
ters that reach the Peruna
Company from grateful
friends who have found their
homes incom-
plete, and their
family safety in
danger without
PERUNA.
Colds and Catarrh
The great weight of testimony that has accumu-
lated in the 44 years that PERUNA has been on the
market provps it, beyond question, to be the reliable family rem-
edy. ever ready to take, preventing the serious effects of colds,
roughs, grip and derangements of the digestive organs. This
proof is published from time to time and many families have
profited by it
