It is conceded by the highest authorities that the
soda cracker contains the life-giving elements of wheat
in the best proportions.
This being so, then Unaeda Biscuit must at
once take first place as the food of the world-a soda
cracker, but such a soda cracker! Made by exact
science in sunny bakeries so light, bright and clean, that
they are a revelation. The flour is tested; the purity
of the water is absolutely assured; the very air is
filtered,-why even the temperature and moisture of
the atmosphere is accurately regulated. The sponge
is kneaded by polished paddles, not by hand. Indeed,
Ungeda Biscuit are only touched once, and then
by a pretty girl, from jhe time the flour leaves the bag
until the beautiful package is placed on your table.
You ask why all this work, all this care in the
making of a soda cracker? Because the soda cracker
is the best of all food and Uneeda Biscuit is the
most wonderful of all soda crackers. And with all
of it the pripe is only 54 a package.

Married Her Riding 3faster.
New York, April 19.-Ic became
known today that Andrew Carnegie's
niece. Nancy, was secretly married
abont a year ago to a riding master
named Heaver, whom she met at
Newport. The story was confirmed
by Mr. Carneie. "My niece was
married to Mr. Heavier in New York
about a year ago," he said. "Mr.
Heave- was a riding teacher in the
family. The family has no objection
to the match. Mr. Heaver is an
honest, upright young man. I would
rather Nancy had married a poor,
honest man than a worthless Dake.
We want no rich men in the family.
Mr. Carnegie said that Mr. and Mrs.
Heaver went to Europe immediately
after their marriage. They returned
a few days ago and are now on a visit
to New England.
Mr. Heaver was formerly coachman
for his wife's mother, Mrs. Thcs.
Carnegie, in Pittsburg, and their
winter home at Fernandina, Fla.
He was a widower with two small
children.
Those people, in Florence who are
interested in starting a new paper,
would have acted more wisely had
they accepted Mr. H. M. Aver's offer
to buy out The Times, provided the
price was not too high, instead of buy?
ing a new outfit and starting a new
paper. As it is they will only sncceed
in worrying Mr. Ayer and throwing
away their own money. It takes
money and experience to run a daily
paper and they will find they cannot
run The Times out of business unless
they have at least ?10,000 or 815,000 to
sink in the enterprise. The Times is
a good paper and no place the size of
Florence can hope to have a better
and make it pay.-Darlington News.

Weak
Hearts
Are due to indigestion. Ninety-nine of every
one hundred people who have heart trouble
can remember when it was simple indiges?
tion. It is a scientific fact that all cases of
heart disease, not organic, are not only
traceable to, but are the direct result of indi?
gestion. All food taken into the stomach
which fails of perfect digestion ferments and
swells the stomach, puffing it up against the
heart. This interferes with the action of
the heart, and in *he course of time that
delicate but vital organ becomes diseased.
Mr. D. Kauble. of Nevada/D , says: I*ad stomach
trouble and was in a bad state as I had heart trouole
with it. I took Kodol Dyspepsia Cure for about four
months and it cured me.
Kodol Digests What You Eat
and relieves the stomach of all nervous
strain and the heart of all pressure.
