Deer are more plentiful on the, northern Michigan peninsula this fall i than in many years, according to the i reports brought back and the results obtained by a party of hunters that i returned from there recently. The party, which included Dr. J. W. Bowers and Judge R. K. Erwin of this city, and eighteen others from Convoy, Payne, Decatur and other places, bagged twenty-six deer and numeraus other specimens of game. They pitch-. : ed two camps In the vicinity of Witbeck, Mich., one of which was known ! as the “Bowers camp,” in honor of Dr. Bowers of this city, and the other as “Leslie camp,” in honor of another member of the party. The party had been in camp not more than thirty j minutes when Dr. Bowers shouldered ' a gun, and picking up deer tracks barely fifteen feet feet away from the site of the camp, shot a magnificent I buck. He succeeded in killing anoth- | or buck before the party was ready to | return home, and Judge Erwin bagged a fine specimen. The latter also shot a bush wolf, and, although the wound proved fatal, the animal eluded its pursuers and made its way into a swamp, wheie H could not be reached. Some of those in the party took out licenses for hunting partridge, and as the birds ate very numerous, were well repaid in the sport they received. Ono of the bucks killed proved to be one of the best specimens ever seen in that vicinity, its antlers containing five points and measuring twenty inches accross. Owing to the Michigan game laws, which prohibit 1 the same, the party was unable to carry the deer out of the state, but they brought home the hides. —Fort Wayne Journal-Gazette.

Why is the soda cracker to-day such a universal food ? People ate soda crackers in the old days, it is true —but they bought them from a barrel or box and took them home in a paper bag, their crispness and flavor all gone. t To-day there is a soda cracker which is the recognized staple — Uneeda Biscuit. Uneeda Biscuit are the most nutritious food made from flour and should be eaten every day by every member of the family from the youngest to the oldest. Uneeda Biscuitsoda crackers better I than any ever made before-made in the greatest bakeries in the world —baked to i perfection—packed to perfection — kept to perfection until you take them, oven-fresh and crisp, from their £ protecting package.
