Now that the theater is nearing completion the residents of Plainville are expressing unqualified admiration for the aggressivenes with which the plan was pushe and the quickness of the building's cerection, The theater well merits the enthu- m which is being manifested over its approaching opening.

F you feel tired, hungry, “fidgety,” hours before lunch, don’t jump to the conclusion of poor health. Thousands have unenergetic morn- ings because they start the day with wrong breakfasts, To feel right, you must have a well-balanced, complete breakfast ration. At most other meals—lunch and dinner—you get it. But break- fast is a hurried meal, often badly chosen. Thus Quaker Oats, containing % protein, food’s great tissue | builder, 65% carbohydrate, its great energy element, plus all-important vitamines and the “bulk” that makes laxatives seldom needed, is the die- tetic urge of the world today.
