The Right Breakfast for B 7 orkers Eat Food that Supplies “Balanced” Ration After Night’s Fast IF you feel tired, hungry, “fidgety” hours before lunch, don’t jump to the conclusion of poor health. Thousands have unenergetic mornings because they start days with breakfasts lacking in certain food elements. To feel right, you must have a well-balanced, complete breakfast ration. At most other meals—lunch i and dinner—you get it. But breakfast is a hurried meal, often badly chosen.

It is food that “stands by” you through the morning. Get Quaker Oats today. Grocers have two kinds: Quick Quaker, which cooks in 2J4 to 5 minutes, and Quaker Oats. Quaker Oats
