HUGHITT ANNOUNCES PROMOTIONS.
John NJ. Whitman and William A.
Gardiner Given Retter .I0hH.

Suruner
CHICAGO, Nov. 25.--Two important pro-
motions were anncInced today by President
Marvin Hughitt of the Chicago G. North
western railroad. John NJ Whitman, pres
ent general manager, is appointed to the
position of fourth vice president. a newly
created office, William A. Gardner, assistant
general superintendent, is appointed to tho
position left vacant by Mr. Whitman. The
latter will have charge of construction of
proprietary roads and branch lines and gem
eral improvements of the property of the
Northwestern system He will also have
charge OF the management and development
OF Its coal properties. The appointments
are effective November 30.
Mr.. Whitman has been connected with the
Northwestern company for upward of twenty
years, holding the position of general man
ager since 1897
Mr.. Gardner entered the railway service
as telegraph operator in 1878, when he was
but IA years of age. His first service with
the Chicago & Northwestern was in 1875
since which time he has continuously been
connected with that company in the capacity
of train dispatcher, trainmaster, assistant
superintendent, division superintendent and
assistant general superintendent with the
exception of a period of two years when he
was connected with the Atchison, Topeka &
Santa Fe railway, as trainmaster.
This change places the operating OF the
road in charge of Mr.. Gardner; the trafio
department remaining in charge of II. r.
Mccullough third vice president and general
traffic manager. and 1t Is something of a
coincidence that In 1874 Mr.. Mccullough was
employed In the local freight Office of the
Illinois Central railroad as waybill clerk
while Mr.. Gardner was in the employ OF the
company as telegraph operator. 1t Is be-,
lieved that Mr.. Mccullough and Mr.. Gardner
are two of the youngest in the country hold
ing positions Of such responsibility as those
they now occupy. The prediction is made
that the entire management OF the entire
Northwestern system will ultimately fall
upon their shoulders.

Do You Know Uneeda Biscuit?

An Introduction costs 5 cents, and
the package you buy for nickel is
likely to make you friend for life.
Uneeda Biscuit are simply the best
biscuit of their kind that can be baked.
They are superior soda biscuit. They
sum up all that has been learned in all
the history of biscuit baking.
The choice of the best wheat -four,
the use of the best soda, even scrupul-
GUS care in seeing that the water used
in mixing them is absolutely pure-all
these points enter into the baking of
Uneeda Biscuit
But If Uneeda Biscuit are great
advance in biscuit making a more
notable advance has been make in the
manner of selling them.
Soda biscuits, before the appear
ance of Udeeda Biscuit, were neglect
ed because the soda in the ordinary
biscuit takes moisture from the air
and the biscuit rapidly loses its crisp.
ness and its oven flavor.
The patented package Uneeda Bis
cult come in is moisture proof and
keeps the biscui in the condition in
which they come from the oven.
A Uneeda Biscuit take from q pack
age six months old and one just taken
from the oven .coulk not be distin-
guished by experts who made the test
Still these biscuits never linger on the
shelves Of dealers. They are supplied
constantly, fresh from the bakeries.
You don't tire of Uneeda Biscuit.
They can be eaten three times a day
and also between meals without pal.
ling on the appetite. Children enjoy
them and can get nothing but good
from them. Invalide and persons of
dainty appetite may eat them freely
without harm.
