It is not alone the convenience, or the freshness, or the crispness, or the unusual food-value, or the digestibility, or the cleanliness, or the price, that has made Uneeda Biscuit the National Soda Cracker. It is the remarkable combination of all of these things. If everyone, everywhere, knew how good they are, everyone, everywhere, would eat them—every day.

CHEERS WERE HIS Congressman Adair Says Dollar-a-day Pension is Justice and Not SO-CALLED CHARITY Spoke in High Terms of the Sherwood Bill and Had Clash With Cannon. Among the things said by Congressman Adair in supporting the Sherwood pension bill, are these: “1 am in favor of a measure that will br©g relief to an individual soldier or will benefit as a class the men who a generation ago, suffered hardships and sacrificed home and health for the perpetuity of the union and the preservation of the states. “We owe these men a debt we will never be able to pay with dollars and cents. Had it not been for their sacrifice and their heroic service this would have been a divided country and our standing among the nations of the earth would not have been what it is today. “This is a rich and powerful nation, made so by the result of the Civil war, and to much can never be done for the men who brfiught this result. “The passage of this bill will bring relief to many homes and gladden the hearts of many men to whom we arc largely indebted to for the blessings we now enjoy. I am not asking the passage of this bill on the grounds of charity, but I am asking its passage on the grounds of justice, right and duty. “I believe the passage of the Sherwood bill, which will place practically all the soldiers on the rolls at $1 a day and make it possible for thousands who are now living in soldiers' .homes to go back and live among their friends, will not only strengthen the public credit, but it will also strengthen the public conscience as well.” A clash between Representative Adair and “Uncle Joe” Cannon, enlivened the day’s proceedings. The Sherwood bill was brought into the house as a democratic measure without a rule of any kind to protect

it from amendments. With the bill thus open to amendment Uncle Joe quietly served notice that an amendment will be offered from the republican side to substitute a straight dol-lar-a-day rate for the lower rates o! (the Sherwood bill. Leading the debate for the Sher - wood bill Representative Adair asserted that a doilar-a-day bill can never pass the senate and that anybody who votes for anything except the Sherwood bill at heart doesn't want any pension legislation. He said he had it from senators that they would not support the dollar-a-day rate. Cannon, jumping to his feet, demanded the names of the senators who made such statements. Adair retorted that the very first time he took the floor to speak in the house he mentioned the name of a senator and Cannon, then speaker, reprimanded him for that breach of parliamentary courtesy. This brought loud cheers from the democratic side. “That yell is familiar," remarked Cannon. The former speaker declared that Adair was offering a very poor excuse “for violating the pledge he made to his soldier constitutents." Mr. Adair estimated that the Sherwood bill would add $34,000,000 to the annua! pension budget and denied the charge that it would cost $75,000,000 a year. Q FARMERS!

Mineral waters taken for constipation are most effective when taken upon rising. The health seekers in v?r pious watering places go to the mlneral springs in the early morning in vast crowds. Saline waters may be taken at home in the same way with just as satisfactory results. Cleaning Gilt Frames. | Gilt frames should not be washed, merely rubbed with chamois. If dull they should be brushed with a liquid Strained from the boiling of four onions In water which has been tinted to a golden color by flowers of sulphur steeped in it. Worth Remembering. “Remember, brethren,” said the good man, as he closed the Bible and gently shook a forensic finger at his heariers, “there are no steam whistles in heaven, and no angel is going to get into trouble for twanging a harp overtime.”
