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 Slates 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 ISneeda 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.

Washington, Dec. 31. An appalling
dlsabter, resulting In the death, us far
as can bo learned, of tUty-three nor
bons and tho Injury of about lltty1
more, occurred at about G;120 o'clock
last night on the Baltimore and Ohio

It is expected the engineer of tho
empty train had failed to see the red

on his mlfsiou of death.
Nothing since tho Ford theater dis
aster, which occurred about fifteen

drizzling rain prevailed during the day

occurred Is downward and the tracks
were slippery. The Frederick City
train Is run largely for the accommo
dation of those who have gone into
tho suburbs on Sunday and for tho
benefit or church goers who desire to

Dead and Injured Taken to Capital.
At first, owing to the Impenetrable
fog, It was Impossible to determine
tho extent of tho damage, and early
rumors placed the number of killed
higher than those which proved later
to bo aceurnto. When the now.

go to Terra Cotta and many who hud
relatives killed and Injured remained
at tho scene of tho wreck until the
special train conveyed tho dead and
injured to tho city. An carler train
that had been dispatched "to Terra
Cotta brought the injured, whose
wounds had been hastily dressed, and
they wero sent to various hospitals
Three died on tho way to tho city and
one death occurred in tho hospital.
Tho engino of tho rear train is said
to bo one or tho largest types of pas

fact of its size probably saved It from
