These boys and girls of ours — the Empire builders of to-morrow —how important it is that they should be well cared for and nourished—that the right food should be theirs. The oat is an admirable food, and for breakfast there is nothing so good for " children and grown-ups. Two and a half times j|J|l ' richer in protein than wheat, rich in organic phosphorus and lecithin, the jjat is unequalled in at nourishment.

The only difference between the commercial and the touring chassis is that the former has rather heavier springs and a trifle lower gear, in consideration of the much greater loads carried. The following testimony regarding a Studebaker chassis adapted to daily coach service on a suburban route by the Timaru Borough Council is, therefore, an indication of the sort of service which may be expected from a Studebaker under any conditions, anywhere. Mr, Emmerson, the Council's Omnibus Engineer, in a report on the running of this 'bus, says This 'bus has now run a distance of 17,724 miles, and has so far not been a day off the road. The total cost for renewals (exclusive of tyres) amounts to £5 19s. lOd. When the 'bus started running I was a little doubtful whether the pneumatic tyres would be successful for the work, but the results have dispersed al! doubts in my mind, as the average life of the tyres works out at 8351 miles 30 chains per tyre (5000 miles is considered a good life for a pneumatic tyre). The cost per mile for petrol works out at 2.01 d. as against 3.5 d. per mile for the double-deck 'buses. The cost of lubricating oil works out at ,009 d. per mile. . , As far as the running of the small'bus at present* in use is concerned, it has given every satisfaction. Every motor-user knows that a daily omnibus service imposes an exceptionally severe test oh a chassis, and the record above described, which covers the period from July 18,1916, to November 15. 1917, is quite a unique one in the history of motor omnibus services, and emphasises the fact that " Studebaker" is synonymous with " Satisfaction."
