The Backbone
of a
Mighty Nation
is good food food for brain, lood for orawn, 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 truth becoming the backbone of the nation.

Every oyster has a mouth, a heart, n
liver, a stomach and other necessary
Internal organs, Including a set of' cun
ningly devised Intestines. The mouth
Is at tho small end of the oyster's body,
near the hinge of the shell. It Is oval
In shape, and, though not readily dis
covered by an unpractlecd eye, It may
be easily located by gently pushing a
blunt bodkin or similar instrument
along the folds of the surface of tho
body at the place mentioned. Connect
ed with the mouth Is the canal which
the oyster uses In conveying food to
the stomach, from whence It passes In
to the curious little set of netted and
twisted Intestines referred to In tho
opening.
To discover the heart of an oyster
the fold of flesh which oystermen call
the "mantle" must be removed. This
Is fatal to the oyster, of course, but In
the Interest of science and for Hie ben
clit of the "curious" It Is occasionally
done. When the mantle has been re
moved the heart, shaped like a crescent
or homed moon, Is laid to the view.
The oyster's heart Is made up of two
parts, Just like that of a human being,
one of which receives the blood from
, tho gills and the other drives It out
through the arteries. Tho liver Is
found In the Immediate vicinity of the
heart and stomach and Is n queer
shaped little organ, which is supposed
to perform all the functions of a blood
filter.

The greatest natural wonder In .Tnva,
If not In tho entire world, Is tho Justly
celebrated "Oheko Kamdka Gumko,"
or "Home of the Hot Devils," known
to the world as the Island of Fire.
This geological singularity Is really a
lake of boiling mud situated at about
the center of the plains of Grobogana
and is called an Island because the
great emerald sea of vegetation which
surrounds It gives It that appearance.
Tho "Island'' is about two miles In cir
cumference, nnd Is situated nt n dis
tance of almost exactly fifty miles
from Solo. Near the center of this
geological freak immense columns of
soft, hot mud may bo seen continually
rising nnd falling like great timbers
thrust through tho boiling substratum
by giant hands nnd the again quickly
withdrawn. Besides tho phenomenon
of the boiling mud columns there arc
scores of gigantic bubbles of hot sllmo
that fill up like huge balloons and keep
up a series of constant explosions, tho
Intensity of the detonations varying
with tho size of tho bubble. In time
past, so the Javanese authorities sny,
there was a tall splrclike column of
baked mud on the west edge of the
lake which constantly belched a pure
stream of cold water, but this has long
been obliterated, and everything Is
now a seething mass of bubbling mud
nnd slime.

How to 1'ut Them on uml Take Them
Off Properly.
There Is nothing which more com
pletely changes the effect of a pair of
eyeglasses than the habit of crowding
them on the nose with one hand. The
best efforts at fitting and adjusting are
nil brought to naught by a person who
hns acquired that habit.
Tho proper way to take oft glasses
is to take hold of tho bridge and lift
off gently without dragging or pulling
out of shape. To take off spectacles
tnko hold of tho right temple with the
right hand nnd lift It off tho car. Then
turn tho bend to the right and the left
temple will fall off easily.
The average wearer of glasses when
he is cleaning them takes hold of the
bridge. The consequence Is that he
gradually works the bridge out of
shape, nnd every rub he gives the Ions
gives n twist to the bridge, nnd In
' course of time the bridge or tho lens
breaks when he least expects It. There
nro probably more glasses broken In
this wny than any other.
Tho correct way to clean them Is to
tnko hold of one of tho eye pieces
where the glass Is screwed on the outer
edgo and clean the lens, and they re
verso tho glasses, take It by the other
end pleco and repent tho process on
that lens.
