Niece and Nephew of Uncle Sam should be deeply interested in what he has said about soda crackers, because they are the one food with which all of them are familiar. Uncle Sam has given out figures showing that soda crackers ate richer in nutriment and body-building elements, properly proportioned, than any food made from flour. This is saying much for common soda crackers, and much more for Yneeda Biscullt, because they are soda crackers of ‘the best quality. “They are baked better— more scientifically. ‘They are packed better—more cleanly. The damp, dust and odor proof package retains all the good- ness and nutriment of the wheat, all the freshness of the best baking, all the purity of the cleanest bakeries. Your Uncle Sam has shown what food he thinks best for his people. His people have shown that they think Uneeda Biscuit the best of that food, nearly 400,000,000 packages having already been consumed. Uneeda Biscuit NATIONAL BISCUIT COMPANY BOY OF 13 KNOWS FOUR LANGUAGES. Does Sums at Lightning Speed| and Can Memorize Anything. By Leased Wire From the New York Bureau of the Post-Dispeteh. New York, Jan. 15 —Speaking of prodigies, Brooklyn has one that is certain to be heard from in the next few years. He is Hyman Paul, 13 years old, grandson of David Berger, an offictal interpreter. The boy’s education began when he was only three years old. At the age of five he could speak both Ger. man and Hebrew as fluently as he could English. In the years fgllow- ing it became apparent daily that the boy had a remarkable brain. To him the routine studies of the public schouls were child’s play. Ia figures hecan turn the mostastound- ing flip flaps. In a tert to which he w’ 8 subjected the boy added eums in three figures at lightning speed and multiplied, subtracted and added fractions almost as rapidly as they could be called off to him. Hyman speaks not only German, Hebrew and English, but has a fluent tongue as wellin the complexities of Yiddish. Grandpa Berger put him through his linguistic paces at a clip that was enough to dazzle the aver- age person, The boy read a newspaper parag- raph picked out at random, then Moe EES without looking at the clipping he recited the words in order backward. —e ——— a He then translated the paragraph in ‘ The Kind You Have Always Bought ness and Rest.Contains neither Morphine nor Mineral.

By Supt. J.M Greenwood, Kansas City, Mo By the last annual report of the State Superintendent of Public In- stitutions of Missouri, the total num ber of men and women licensed to teach in this state, was 17,066, di vided between the sexes as follows: 5,210 menand 11 856 women. From the same source, the total number of graduates from the State University since 1843 was 2.950 and the total number of graduates from the three normal schools since June, 1871, was 1,601, making the total number of graduates from these four state inatitutions 4.651 since theit organi- zation, or a little more than one- fourth of the present public school teaching force of the state. From the 300 high schools of the state, the entire number of graduates for the year In the three and in the four year courses was 4,127; the the total number of graduates from the Uni- versity inall departments for the year ending June 1904, was 189 and from the State Normal at Kirksville, Warrensburg and Cape Girardeau, ; 147, or 336 graduates all told from the State University and the three State Normal Sehools. Thave introduced these statistics to indicate the sources from which the teaching force of the state must be chiefly supplied. Of the 17,000 H teachers of the state 4,000 entered upon their first year of teachIng in the year 1908. Putting this thought in another way, twenty-two out of every hundred teachers who went in- to the scheol houses that year had had no experience. They were green, unskilled bunglers. Tt-all the graduates from the State oaly schools in which the history, the philosophy, the theory and prac- tice of education, can be taught to any considerable number of young men and women, and they are the only schools, par excellence, {n which subjects are studied—expounded in the light of how they ought to be presented to minds more immature than those who are participating in the different branches of study. Grave Trouble Foreseen, It needs but little foresight, to tell that when your stomach and liver are badly affected, grave trouble is ahead, unless you take the proper medicine for your disease, as Mrs. John A. Tome. of Clay, N. Y., did. She says: “I had neuralgia of the liver and stomach, my heart was weakened, and I could not eat. I was very bad for 4 long time, but in Electric Bitters, I found just what I needed, for they quickly relieved and cured me.” Best medicine for weak women. Sold under guarantee by Frank T.

From the Cincinnati Commercial-Tribune, East Liverpool, 0.—Because he de- clared the weather was too cold and that the roads were in too bad con- dition to take his horse out of the stable, John Hickman, aged 82, wealthy farmer of Fredericktown, this county, walked to this city Tuesday, a distance of fourteen miles, to attend a meeting of the stock- holders of the First National bank. He got there as the session wae be- ing called to order by President Thompson. After the meeting was over and he had been elected a direc tor of the wealthy bank he bundled Deepest Cooper Mine |in the World on Fire, Milwaukee, Wis, Jan. 13.—The Tamarack copper mine, the deepest ,in the world, 1s on fire, with three men missing, and almost certain to have met death in a horrible form halt to three-quarters of a mile below the earth’s surface. Shaft No. 2. where the fire was dis- covered, has been sealed over at the surface with heavy timbers tamped with clay, and also Shaft No.3. It may become necessary to cool Shaft No. 5 also to smother the flames. The mine gontains several hundred million feet of timber, largely pine, and unless the access of air was shut off by hermetically sealing the open- ings, the property would be damaged to the extent of many millions. Fight Will Be Bitter. Those who will persist in closing their ears against the continual recommendation of Dr. King’s New Discovery for Consumption, will pnd lnm yy bitter fight with their troubles, if not ended earlier by fatal termination.
