Quick Quaker Oats Cooks to perfection in 3 to 5 minutes Now there's a new reason for insisting on Quaker Oats. Our experts have perfected a quick- cooking Quaker which cooks in 3 to 5 minutes, So it means ar oat dish almost ready to serve. It has our super-flavor, All Quaker Oats are flaked from queen grains only. We get but ten pounds from a bushel. But in yin Quaker the oats are cut before flaking. They are rolled very thin and partly cooked. So the flakes are smaller and thinner—that is all. And those small thin flakes cook quickly. Your grocer has both styles. Both offer incomparable flavor. Quick offers the quickest-cook- ing oats in the world.

Virtually no iemislation was enact- ed in either house yesterday. Prest- dent Harding spent the last 45 min- utes of tho session in his room off the senate, signing about 50 bills, ‘The only Important nomination to fail of confirmation was that of James B, McNary, of El Paso, to be controller of the currency. ‘The president 1s expected to fill the office by a recess appointment, ‘The farm credits bill, extending the farm loan system and otherwise pro- viding greater credit facilities for the farmer, was passed Saturday nigh and approved by the president yester- day, ‘The resolution providing for an In- vestigation of sugar price manipula tions failed when Senator Curtis, of Kansas, objected to it. eee Liberalized Veteran Bill Becomes a Law WASHINGTON, March 5.—One of his last acts before leaving Wash- ington for a houseboat trip among tho Florida Bverglades was the sign- ing of the liberalized sveterans’ act by President Marding.
