At most other meals—that is, at luncheon and at dinner—you usually get that kind of food. But at breakfast the great dietary mistake is most often made —a hurried meal, often badly chosen. Thus Quaker Oats, containing 16% protein, food's great tissue builder; 58% carbohydrate, its great energy element, plus all-important vitamines and the "bulk" that makes laxatives seldom needed, is the dietetic urge of the world today. It is food that "stands by” you through the morning. Food that should start every breakfast in your home. Quick Quaker cooks in 3 to S minutes. That’s faster than plain toast. Don’t deny yourself the natural stimulation this rich food offers.
