One the kind , 'ou have always known—the other l Quick Quaker. Quick Quaker cooks in from 3t» t minutes. And it cooks to perfection. So it is almost like a readycooked dish. No other oat flakes on the market took anywhere near so quickly. The two styles are identical in uglify and flavor. Both are flaked rom the finest grains only—just the 1 rich, plump, flavory oats. A bushel ( of choice oats yields but ten pounds of these delicious flakes. But in Quick Quaker the oats are ’ cut before flaking. They are rolled very thin and partly cooked. So the flakes are smaller and thinner—that W all. And those small, thin flakes cook quickly. • Ask for Quick Quaker if you want , this style. Your grocer has both. But always get Quaker Oats for their deljghtful flavor. t

X 0 Man Who Sold Liquor to Rockford Youth Escapes Van Wert, Ohio, May 14—Sheriffs of several counties altd federal agents today were searching for Joseph Talboon, 33, of near Middle Point, who escaped from two officers while they were taking him to Toledo Friday night to face liquor law violation charges preferred against him Friday afternoon after his home was raided. Although Taiboon has been under suspicion before on liquor charges, his arrest this time was directly due to an accident in which Oscar Hook, the young Rockford boy met death last Monday. Hook was run over by an automobile near Rockford and his companions said he was drunk. Taiboon had been given a hearing before Commissioner C. W. Long, of the federal court at Lima, late Friday afternoon, and was bound over to the federal grand jury under a bond of $2,000, which he was unable to furnish. Accordingly he was being taken to Toledo by Emil Flick. United States deputy marshal, and E. I). Kirk, federal prohibition enforcement officer. Taiboon asked permittion to go to the mens lavatory in the car. Marshal Flick stood at the door waiting for Taiboon to come out of tlie lavatory. The car came to Columbus Grove, stopped and started. Marshal Flick then rapped at the door, hut got no response. He rapped again and again, and finally burst in the door, to find Taiboon gone. Handcuffed, he had battered the window out and broken through the iron grating over the window. The officers went to Leipsic where they boarded a return car, and got off near Columbus Grove. They searched the right-of-way there, and then proceeded to Columbus Grove. A general alarm was given. Van Wert county and Ottawa officers took up the search. Nothing could be found, however, of the escaped prisoner. Companions of Hook staled that lie was drunk from drinking moonshine which, they declare, was purchased from Taiboon last Sunday afternoon. The statements of two of the boys, and the small quantity of alleged liquor found on the premises were to furnish evidence in the federal case to have been prosecuted against Taiboon. To Leave Salvation Army Banks In Stores Longer Those in charge of the Salvation Army drive for funds here stated to day that they desired to leave the lit tie banks in the various stores and business houses in the city for a few days more in order that those who were not tagged during the tag day Saturday could contribute toward the fund. Approximately SSO was raised during the tag activities Saturday, it ‘was said. However several have stated that they were not tagged and that they desire to give something towards the cause. Owing to the bail weather the number of children aiding in the tagging was not as large as it should have been. It had been planned tn remove the banks from the stores today.

Mrs. Starr Tells of Her Experience With . Tanlac ore ;w 'A .I I mhHb*- - I ' > ' WoJar'*' ' II I ♦ I / t I i < , MRS. L. E. STARR Mrs. Lillie E. Sturr. residing near Lenexa, Kansas, is another of the; thousands who have learned the r value of Tanlac as a “spring tonic." , "Thir spring,” said Mrs. Starr. "I felt that 1 needed a tonic, for may appetitie hud lost its usual keenness, ' indigestion was giving me a great deal 1f trouble, and if I ventured out on a shopping trip, or at any other , exertion. I soon found myself fagged out. 1 could rest but little day or I ' night for nervousness and pains. "Well, Tanlac got me to eating; again, built me up ten pounds in ■ weight and now I feel so healthy ami happy 1 go about my work singing. 1 will always have a warm corner in my heart for Tanlac.” Tanlac is for sale by all good drug- ’ gists. Accept no substitute. Over 37 • million bottles sold. s Tanlac Vegetable Bills are Na-; , tare’s own remedy for constipation. For sale everywhere. ' Salvation Army Rescue Work is Very Valuable i ■ r 'l'he value of the state of the, Sal-, vation army rescue work in Indiana | • alone last year exceeds the amount; for which they are asking in the an-; < nual state-wide campaign. , Every unwed mother and her child ; i are potential enemies of society, and . ■ only too often a heavy moral and i s economic burden to the state. It has been estimated that a pros- ; tit ute, during the brief period of her f career, costs Hie community $10,01)0. The taxpayer who will take the ' trouble to make an approximate estii mate will be astonished to learn what ' a large amount of his annual taxes is neccessary to pay the cost of pros- ' titution and its attendant ills. More 1 than one-half the costs of maintaining our courts, jails, police service, hospitals, reformatories, penal institu--1 tions and various state asylums can be directly traced to this oue cause. More than ninety per cent of the girls who are annualy discharged from the Salvation Army maternity hospitals never make another moral misstep. The majority of them marry within four and five year ami make good wives and mothers. Who cah apporoximale the value to the com- ' muiiity, estate and nation of these ' mothers annually saved by the Army? Here again the Salvation Army Advisory Board is giving the county ■ an invaluable service, for it is one of their duties to see that every girl 1 in need of advice, shelter or protection received it without any publicity. They are rying to serve their community by serving its weak and unfortunate, and they are asking the ' moral and financial support of the citizens of the county to further the success of the annual campaign for funds ’ for this work. More than five thousand girls were saved from lives of shame by the ’ Savation Army last year. This means ' that these girls have not only been saved to society but have become an asset rather than a liability to their respective communities, aud in the aggregate represent an approximate saving to the country of millions of dollars. —— o ——• SIX DROWN IN MISSISSIPPI Davenport, lowa—Three young men and three girls declared by the police today to have been drown when they leaped into the Mississippi river from a jjridge to avoid an onrushing street car. William veteran motorman one of .the two'wltnesses of the death I leap reported the. tragedy to police and then became crazed said he saw three girls and one boy leap and thought there were two more boys. Mr. and Mrs. Claude Dillon, of Van ' Buren, will attend the Psi iota Xi Anniversary dance here tonight at j the Masonic hall.
