Evening Republican, Volume 17, Number 7, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 8 January 1913 — Never Liked Oats. [ARTICLE]

Never Liked Oats.

Frenchmen have never liked oats; doctors have urged them to try the national dish of the Scotch, but they haye politely refused. But one group of Frenchmen could not escape; this was a company of the One Hundred and Twenty-eighth infantry, * whose captain Insisted that his men should eat oatmeal, pgrridge for a month. He had the oatmeal toasted to Improve the taste. To their surprise, his men found that after ’a month of maneuvers they did not have a single man on the sick list, while other companies had as many as a dozen. They have made up their minds that oats are not so bad after all.

It’s the easiest thing in the World to go from bad to woree.
