da Cracker
You have heard that some foods furnish fat,
other foods make muscle, and still others arc
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 Biscuit 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.

Flood Damage at Lincoln.
Lincoln, March 2B. Following a fall
of rain, estimated at ovor two Inches
In less than an hour, Lincoln last
night suffered from a flood that did
much minor damage. Storm sewers,
clogged by remnants of recent heavy
snowB, were unnblo to enrry off the
water, which spread over the curbing
and into tho basements of business
buildings. Jn the residence districts
conditions were worse. Cellars were
flooded by the scoro and in some cases
the rush of water was so strong as to
carry away foundations. Street cars
were stalled and two of the city pump
ing stations were for a time out of
commission, due to water flooding tins
enno rooms. Water covered the
first floors of houses on bottom lands.
Trains reaching the city from the
south were ordered not to exceed Ave
miles an hour, water covering the
tracks.
A Fa nny AllNiirint.
One of the most ludicrous announce
I ments that ever appeared perhaps was
f made by a London newspaper in the
I earlier half of the last century to the
' effect that Sir Robert Peel "and n par
ty of llends were shooting peasants In
Ireland." The words misprinted, of
course, woro "frlcndB" and "pheas
i ants."
