The
Food Value
of a Soda Cracker
You have heard that some foods furnish fat,
other foods make muscle, and still others are
tissue building and heat forming.
You know that most foods have one or more
of these elements, but do you know that no
food contains them all in such properly balanced
proportions as a good soda cracker/""
The United States Government report shows
that soda crackers contain less water, are richer
in the muscle and fat elements, and have a much
higher per cent of the tissue building and heat
forming properties than any article of food made
from flour.
That is why Uneeda BiSCUlt should
form an important part of every meal. They
represent the superlative of the soda cracker, all
their goodness and nourishment being brought
from the oven to you in a package that is proof
against air, moisture and dust—the price being
too small to mention.

Queer Little Blunder*.
From an account of the Doncaster
(England) Art club’s annual exhibition
In the Doncaster Gazette: "Miss -
also goes In for portraiture. In hitting
off her father’s head her intentions are
good, but the execution lacks very much
In artistic finish.”
Li the London Mail’s description of a
pafade In honor of the king of the Hel
lenes the reporter said: “The soldiers,
clad only in their scarlet tunics, pre
sented an unpleasant contrast with the
warmly clad members of the police
force.”
From the windows of a British tailor:
“We have cleared a Scotch merchant’s
remains of high class overcoatings at a
big reduction.”
Not a Born Forger.
The indorsement of checks Is a very
simple thing, but, as the following story
will show, it, too, has its difficulties:
A woman went into a bank where
she had several times presented checks
drawn to Mrs. Lucy B. Smith. This
time the check was made to the order
of Mrs. M. J. Smith—M. J. were her
husband's Initials. She explained this
to the paying teller and asked what she
should do.
“Oh, that is all right,” he said. “Just
Indorse It as It is written there.”
She took the check and, after much
hesitation, said, “I don’t think I can
make an M like that.”

Animal hair differs In construction
from that grown on a human head. In
human hair the upper skin is smooth
and thin. The circular section Is com
paratively broad, forming the main
part of the hair shaft. It Is striped In
appearance and, carries the color mat
ter. The tubular part Is thin, extend
ing to about one-flfth and certainly not
more than to one-quarter of the entire
width of the hair. Animal hair also
consists of three pnrts, but these are
differently constructed, the tube often
filling the entire hair.
Tlie Salts In the Ocean.
The salts of the sea have fed through
out all time countless living things
which have thronged its water and
whose remains now form the rocks of
continents or lie spread in beds of un
known thickness over 00,000,000 square
miles of the 143,000,000 square miles of
the ocean’s floor. They have lent the
substance to build the fringing reefs
of the land and all the coral Islands of
the sea, and there are at present on
the basis of an average salinity of 3Vj
per cent in the 290,700,000 cubic miles
of water which make up the ocean’s
90,000,000,000,000,000 tons, or 10,173,
000 cubic miles, of salt. This Is suffl
dent to cover the areas of all th«
lands of the earth with a uniform layei
of salt to a depth of 1,000 feet
