That's True in a million homes Suppose you read that breakfasts l,ad dropped 85 per cent. Think what good news that would be in these high-cost tunes. In countless homes breakfasts have come down. In late years m.lhons of newusers have adopted Quaker Oats. Those homes do save 85 per cent, as compared with meat, eggs, fisli. etc. To save $125 a year Quaker Oats costs one ecu per large dish. It costs 6>^c per 1,0(10 calories, the energy measurement of nutriment. It costs 12 times as much to serve one chop— 9 times as much to serve two eggs. A bite of meat costs as much as a dish of oats. In a family of five Quaker Oats breakfasts served in place of meat breakfasts saves some $125 per year. The oat is the food of foods. It supplies 16 elements needed for energy, repair and growth. For voung folks it is almost the ideal food. As vim-food .t has age-old fame. Each pound yields 1,810 calohes of nutriment. It is wise to start the day on oats, regardless of the cost. Yet it costs a trifle as compared with meat. These figures are based on prices at this writing. Note them carefully. They do not mean that one should live on Quaker Oats alone. But this premier food should be your basic breakfast. Serve the costlier foods at dinner. Cost Per Serving Dish Quaker Oats . Ic 4 ounces meat . . 8c One chop . . . 12c Serving fish ... 8c Bacon and eggs . 15c For the children's sake This brand is flaked from queen grains only— just the rich, plump, flavory oats.

Packed in Sealed Round Packages with Removable Cover iVl t J I H J IN r H_ I U IM v^ I n J t-' 1 xj Kirkwood Confesses 1 (Continued from poijc 78) to be Ills iunbitiim lo be a heavy. There's something about the expression of his eves that made me think that, perhaps, he'niiglu be a gooa_ be-vani]>. Whereupon I broach the subject and — am at once squelched. "He-vamp?" he snorted. "Nothing doing!'' Some day. when he has amassed a neat .ittle bank account from the silent drama, Kirkwood is going to "settle down" on a comfortable "farm. Now, he says, he gets tired of the sophistication of the stage, exactly as a banker wearies of the humdrum existence of the clearinghouse. It's reversing the English on your own life, as it were ; everybody gets bored doing his own particular line of work — or, rather, tires of his world. Kirkwood literally got dragged onto the screen. Griffith, working at the Biograph in New York, saw him one day when he visited some friends at the studio and prevailed upon him to accept a part. Previously he had been with Blanche Bates on the stage under Belasco's management in "The Girl of the Golden \\'esi," with Henry IMiller and Margaret Anglin in "The Great Divide" and with other stars of the legitimate, and was playing the male lead in the stage version of "Behind the Scenes" when be strolled into the studio. ^Vhen he made his screen debut, the majority of the now-known "pioneers" were "extras" at the studio, making five dollars a day. He started in a picture with jMariou Leonard and Mary Pickford — went on before the camera for the first time in a "retake." After playing every \-ariety of part in one and tworeelers, he was at length given INIarion Leonard to direct, and subsequently, after careers with lieliance, i\Iutual,_ Universal, Fox and American, he affiliated with Famous Players, first as a leading man, later as a director, w-here he swayed the destinies of such stars as Jack Barrymore in "The Lost Bridegroom"; Hazel Dawn in a number of plays, and Florence Reed in a series, among which was "The Struggle I-^verlasting." Shorllv afterward, when Jack Pickford began to make pictures for First National. Kirkwood became his director. He wrote "In Wrong" for Mary's little lirother and directed him in it. Later, he held the megaphone for "Bill Apperson's Boy." It was then Allen Dwan came along, and Jim joined him, later going to pjay opposite Louise Glaum in "The Girl Who Dared" ; and now Kirkw-ood will ])ennanently remain in his make-up, because, in the final analysis, he likes to think that there is a bigger field in acting. "But," I concluded, "I thought I heard you say you're lazy." '•Qh, yes," he responded. "I guess I am. But I couldn't go without working— not if somebody offered me a cool million to take life easy — exactly as I like to take it." (Eltlhiy)
