| 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 ue 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 Biscult 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.

Effect on the Users Rather Bene ficial Than Harmful—Source of Supply of the Substance. Now and then one sees men as well as women chewing the cud in public with a steady persistency that exer- cises a certain fascination upon others in their neighborhood, as, for instance, in the cars. They are not masticating candy, and the men are not slaves to the tobacco habit. Presently one be- comes aware that the penny-in-the-slot machines, which, when properly fed and manipulated, propel small slabs of chewing gum, are by no means pat- ronized by children alone; they are there for adults also. Chewing of gum has become almost a national habit. To its credit may be set down the fact that among men it has to a great extent driven out the chewing of tobacco. Chewing itself seems to have some obscure necessity behind it, as if, like the exercise of the teeth in squirrels, rats, mice and other rodents, it were an instinctive act for the purpose of keeping the teeth sharp and in good condition. Perhaps our soft food weakens the teeth by disuse, and the chewing of tobacco, gums, melon seeds and other macerials offsets the tendency of the teeth to become loose and rradually drop out. In Ire- land, for iusta , the peasant is said to lose his teeth early in life owing to a potato diet. At any rate, we must vive the chewing-gummers the benefit of the doubt. In the country it has always been a habit with children to collect the gum from cherry and peech trees for their private .un and profit, but with the tremendous increase of the habit enterprising makers of chew- ing gum have ransucked the world ior the best substitutes tor and improye- ments on the crude product of the farm, And in the Achras Sapota ot Central and South America, a wild tree, called in some places the Chico Zapote, they have discovered a gum called chicle, which fills the bill in more senses than one, Unfortunately for the manufacturers of chewing gum, there are very, few places where this tree grows in abund- ance; as in the case of the rubber tree, there has not been time enough to as certain with oertainty if when culti- vated the sap can be relied on to keep up to the standard. Hitherto they have had to depend for their supplies of chicle on the Indians, who would not or could not bring the material out of the woods in sufficient quantities to meet the demand. Therefore the price of chicle has been rising, although manufacturers do all they can to econ- The Kind You Have Always Bought, ‘und which has been in use for over 30 years, has borne the signature of and has been made under his per- Co ffUida sonal supervision since its infancy. g Allow no one to deceive you in this, All Counterfeits, Imitations and “ Just-as-good”’ are but Experiments that trifle with and endanger the health of Infants and Children—Experience against Experiment. _ What is CASTORIA Castoria is’a harmless substitute for Castor Oil, Pare. goric, Drops and Svothing Syrups.

He said, how- ever, that unless unexpected develop- ments took place !n the analysis he would sdhere to his theory formed during the investigation that thedis- ease is anthrax, the most dangerous cattle malady known to science. Anthrax is called also splenetic fever on account of the tendency of the spleen to become greatly enlarged and fill with bacteria. It ray be transmitted to man by inoculation. “The only other possible theory,” sald Dr. Gonnoway, ‘ls that the die- eage is caused by poisoning from the plant known as the pea vine. This {aimprobable, as cattle which ate the pea vine in the highlands have not died, the malady betng confined to those that have eaten the plant in bottom lands. Similar oftbreake have occurred here before, but the present has been particularly viru- lent.” Dr. Connoway found that the re-; port of the disease has not been exag- gerated. Murra Phillips, a stock breeder, has lost 125 out of 150 cat- tle and the Dawson Bros. and others have guffsred greatly. Dr. Conno- way was accompanied by Dr. D. P.

Tiere is one part of one province of Mexico, namely Yucatan, where the Chico Zapote grows in great quantitier, This is the district called Quintana Roo, bordering on the Carribean sea, just north of British Honduras, an important mahogany country, too, where the hennequin plant, which has so greatly enriched the Yucatanese, grows wild. The Mexican government has just completed from the little port of Vigia, on Ascension bay, a railway to a new capital called by the Maya In- dians Chan Santa Cruz, but now bap- tized Santa Cruz de Bravo after Gen. Bravo, who opened up this wild region after conflicts with the Indians. It is proposed to continue this line down to Belize. Meantime, it has opened up what apparently is the richest section for chicle in all America. In fact, the tree is so abundant in this region that the greater part of the ties laid by the government engineer were cut from the Chico Zapote trees along the track, ~* E, A. BENNETT, Crark Wrx, J.
