W — Soda crackers are extremely sensitive to moisture. Before the advent of Uneeda Biscuit the only persons who ever tasted fresh, crisp soda crackers were the people in the bakeries. Imagine their trip from bakery to your table; exposed to air and moisture —kept in grocers’ boxes and finally in a paper bag on the shelf in your pantry. Could they be the same as they were the day they were baked ? Now that we have Uneeda Biscuit —we have perfectly baked soda crackers —perfectly kept. No moisture can reach them —no contamina ■ g i . I ences i affect their flavor —their < | I goodness is impris- s j oned only to be i liberated by you for 5 you when you open \ the package.

1 J- ■= HISTORY OF OLD FORT LEE I » Cora in «d Merely es Earthworks and Wae Abandened by Order of | General Washington. The Fort Lee ot revolutionary days was on top ot the Palisades, about two miles up the river from the village of Edgewater, where the Fort | Lee ferry has its New Jersey landing, In the strict sanae of the word. It was hardly worthy of being called a fort, since it constated merely of earth- : works, of which not a vestige is to be j seen today. Tradition says that the fort was ■ laid out by Gen. Israel Putnam, and some of the historians thus account i for the fact that the defenses were rather expansive for their purpose. At first It was called Fort Constitution, but was soon re-named Fort Lee. This temporary stronghold was really constructed to co-operate with Fort Washington, on the New York side of the Hudson, In the defense of the river. In the beginning It was believed that the two defenses would be able to turn the British war fleet back and prevent it from getting up the j river to West Point. But from the first Washington Is known to have questioned its usefulness and it was on his orders that It was finally evacuated. In November, , 1776, all that was left of the American army In New Jersey abandoned the fort and set out on its historic retreat to Philadelphia. Tradition says that there was a fort under the cliff of the river front at some point not far from Edgewater earlier In the revolution, but there is no authentic record of its existence and it therefore cannot be credited. UNCLE HIRAM TO HIS NEPHEW His Dissertation on the One Priceless Treasure Which All Men Share Alike. “Steven, my boy,” said Uncle Hiram, 1 "one man may have more talent than another or more courage or more money, but there is one thing that no man on earth can have any more of than yon have, and that is time. "Did you ever stop to think of that? Or maybe you haven’t come to it yet, that of the most precious thing ot all, the same being. I repeat, time, nobody, no matter who he is, can have any more than you have. There can’t , be any favoritism or special privilege or gouging or monopoly in time You get what’s coming to you anyway, and no man on earth can take it away from you. "And isn’t this something to be cheerful over? Why. Stevey, it’s the grandest thing going to think that of the most valuable thing of all we’ve got as much as the man that rides by us in a SIO,OOO automobile. But. and now I’m getting down to the sermon, 1 Stevey, this most precious thing of i all is the thing of which we are most wasteful. "We get our full share of it sure. I hut wc waste It ourselves shockingly. “Don't waste time. Stevey, please I don’t. As you feci now you’ve got a I million years ahead of you. more or less, plenty of time; but time Is one of those things that once lost can never be recovered. Don’t waste a minute of it. When you play, play; sink the shop; forget it utterly; but when yon work utilize all your time. i Don’t dawdle it away.” Hymn Numbers for 'Phones. The city missionary was growling because he found it difficult to remember the mission telephone number. “I would like to change it to 793,” he said. “I could remember that, for 793 is the number of my favorite hymn. Rive hundred and sixty-eight, the present number, was the favorite hymn of the superintendent -in charge when the telephone was installed. The telephone company is very courteous in its dealings with churches and missions. Whenever possible they allow the pastor to select his own number. As an aid to memory most of them choose the number of a popular hymn. That is the reason most churches and missions have low telephone numbers.” A Judge of Wine. George C. Boldt, the hotel man, vras talking in New York about wines “The average American is now a good : judge of wine,” said Mr. Boldt. “H» is no longer fooled by elaborate and imposing labels. He has learned to appreciate a wine's bouquet, flavor and body. “I heard the other day a mlld-look ' ing chap in a restaurant who said: ’1 understand they’ve been having wine riots In France, waiter.' ’’ Yes, sir; 1 believe so, sir,’ the waiter answered. “‘Well,’ said the inlld-looking chap ‘the wine you’ve served me here would be enough to start a riot anywhefe.’ ” Literal Obedience. Figg—Talk about green servant girls! My wife told ours to put a little nutmeg in the custard she was making this afternoon. Fogg—And she didn’t do it? Figg-—Oh, yea, she put a little nuti mcg in. alt right! I came near choking over the blame thing. It Needed a Diagram. Dealer —Yea, quite good, only 1 can't quite see what it’s ail about. Artist —Why, it's clear as mud. The farmyard at sunrise. Dealer—Of course, of course. But, say, would you have any objection to making an affidavit to go with KT
