The Backbone
of a
Mighty Nation
is good food—food for brain, food for Drawn, food that is
strengthening, that gives energy and courage. Without a proper
appreciation of this great fundamental truth no nation can rise
to greatness.
As an article of food, soda crackers are being used more and
more every day, as is attested by the sale of nearly 400,000,000
packages of Uneeda Biscuit, which have come to be recog
nized as the most perfect soda cracker the world has ever known.
And so Uneeda Biscuit will soon be on every table at
every meal, giving life, health and strength to the American people,
thus in very trpth becoming the backbone of the nation.

FOSSIL CORKSCREWS
QUEER FREAKS OF NATURE THAT
ABOUND IN NEBRASKA.
Gigantic Spirals of Mineral Fash
ioned So Mathematically as to Be
Easily Mistaken at First Glance
For Works of Art.
Nobody knows with certainty what
the so called “devil’s corkscrews” real
ly are. They are found by tens of thou
sands In Nebraska, most particularly
In Sioux county, and some of them are
as much as forty feet In height, without
counting the gigantic “roots” presently
to be described. Quartz is the sub
stance of which they are made, but
how they came to be imbedded, num
bers of them together, in the sandstone
cliffs of that region is more than any
body can tell, unless, perhaps, one the
ory, to be mentioned later, is to be ac
cepted as correct
You are traveling, let us say, on
horseback through that part of the
country, and, as often happens, you
see, standing out from the face of a
sandstone cliff, a gigantic spiral. If, as
geologists have proved, the sandstone
rock be chipped away a corkscrew
shaped thing of quartz is exposed to
view, fashioned so mathematically as
to be easily mistaken at first glance
for a work of art The white spiral
may be free, as a sculptor would say,
or, In other cases, may be twined about
a sort of axis, as a vine would run
around a vertical pole.
Somebody awhile ago gave to these
spirals the name “devil's corkscrews”
for want of a better and as expressive
of the mystery of their origin. Scien
tists discussed them in vain, and many
theories were formed in regard to them.
There were authorities who declared
they were fossil burrows excavated in
tertiary times by gophers of a huge
and extinct species. And, to confirm
this notion, the bones of some burrow
ing animal were actually found imbed
ded in the substance of one of the
“screws.” This seemed to settle the
matter for awhile, until the controversy
was started again by the discovery of
the osseous remains, under like condi
tions, of a small deer. Nobody couid
assert that a deer was ever a burrow
ing animal, and so that notion had to
be abandoned.
Other theorists declared that the “fos
sil twisters,” as some folks called them,
represented the prehistoric borings of
gigantic worms that lived in the very
long ago. Yet others suggested that
they were petrified vines, though it was
difficult to explain how or why the
“poles” on which the alleged vines
seemed in many cases to have been
trained had been so admirably pre
served, or, for that matter, originally
erected.
In the midst of so many contradictory
theories the problem seemed likely to
defy solution indefinitely. The one tha1
held out longest and gained most ad
herents was that of the extinct gophers.
It accounted for the "root”—a shape
less appendage often nearly as big as
the “twister” Itself and attached to the
lower end of the latter—which obvious
ly, as it seemed, had been the nest of
the rodent animal, the “corkscrew” rep
resenting the spiral hole by which 1*
made its way to the surface of the
ground. What could possibly be mors
easy to comprehend?
Professor E. H. Barbour, however,
has declared—and his decision is ac
cepted provisionally until somebody
offeFS a better—that the corkscrews are
of vegetable origin. They nre, he as
serts, the fossil remains of ancient
water weeds of gigantic size, which
grew millions of years ago on the bot
tom of a vast sheet of water that cov
ered all of Nebraska. These must have
been the biggest aquatic plants that
ever existed, and when the huge lake
that overflowed the region in question
dried up the remains of many of the
plants were left behind burled in the
accumulated detritus at the bottom.
In the course of time—ages after the
bottom of the ancient lake had been
converted into solid rock—rivers plow
*ed their fvay through the land, cutting
this way and that and exposing to' the
view of the modern traveler on the
faces of the cliffs the fossil casts of the
prehistoric water weeds just as they
stood when they grew hundreds of
thousands and probably millions of
years ago. Their tissues were replaced
as they decayed by silica from the wa
ter, particle by particle, and thus, as if
by magical means, their likenesses
have been preserved for the wonder
and admiration of the present surviv
ors on the earth.
Such is the theory now pretty well
accepted by scientist's in regard to the
lorigin of the “fossil corkscrews.” Pos

there is room for the exercise of any
body's imagination in the consideration
