EGGS THAT WON T ROLL OFF
W.L. Finley, ttie new naturalist-pirn^,
tograi hcr.writes in the Country Calen
dar for July of his experience on Three
Arch Rocks, off the Oregon coast, as fol- |
lows:
“By far the commonest birds on the j
rocks arc the California murres. They (
nest up and down the sides of the cliff,
wherever the ragged rock furnishes a
footing. There is not the least sign of
i nest, but the single egg is deposited
wherever there is a niche to keep it i
from rolling The practical value of
this can be seen every day on the slop
ing ledges. We tried several experi-j
ments with these eggs, and found they
were of such taper that not one rolled
over the edge. When they were started |
down grade, they did not roil straight,
but swung around like a top and came to
astandstill fouror live inchesdown. The
eggs were tough-shelled, and a sharp
push sent one only about nine inches
before it whirled around on its vertical

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 cracker ?
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 Biscuit should form
an important part of every meal. They repre
sent 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.
