BAKING PROBLEM SOLVED.
A Method of Indefinitely Keeping
Fresh the Ovens Best Products.

Though American bakers have for
years eXcelled many of their daintiest
creations could never be enjoyed at
their best because it had been impos-
sible to protect them from moisture,
odors, dust or germs and keep them
fresh until they reached the consumer
Now an Americans inventive genius
has interviewed, and it is possible to
have the best efforts of the best bakers
in the world as fresh ana as dainty as
if just from the oven, and to have them
in any season and anwhere-up in the
rigorous Alaskan climate, in the heat
of the Indies, in the moisture charged
atmosphere of the seacoast, or the mild
temperature of the lnteriOr-just as
fresh, crisp and delicate as If bought
the day they were baked II. the famous
bakeries of the great cities
This invention is known as the liner
seal Patent Package" 1t is protected
by law and is made of specially pre-
pared cardboard, SO cut that it folds
into a box just big enough to hold the
biscuit for which it is designed. It is
lined with a delicate waterproof paper
that is the actual wrapper of the con-
tents, and the placing of thisspaper and
the cardboard around the biscuit, in the
form of box, without the use of paste
or nails, or metal clamps or cords is a
wonder in itself. The exterior is still
further protected with a label sheet
designating the contents, the end being
sealed with the ''In-er-seal' trade mark
design now so familiar to all newspaper
readers.
This trademark design is one that was
adopted advisedly, for it is a sealed
and inersealed package. 1t Is so sealed
outside and inside that it would be
impossible for moisture to enter,
though the package were exposed to a
London fog, or an April shower; i'm
possible for dust to get in even if a
cyclone carried it along; impossible for
odors of the mackerel barrel or the
meat block to get in, even if left out
in their odorous company; impossible
for Il germ to enter. because the bis
cults are packed at the ovenside-all
the good sealed in; all the bad sealed
ont.
The 'In-er-seal Patent Package" is
controlled and used exclusively by the
National Biscuit company. the origi-
majors of the famous Uneeda Biscuit
and other Uneeda products. much of
the fame of which resulted from the
protection of this wonderful package.
This alone is sufficient testimony of it's
ability to keep good things good.

PLAYED CHICKEN.
How Eight Men and a Child
Lost Their Lives.

Milwaukee, June An evening
Wisconsin special from Green Bay
says: terrible accident occurred
near Stockbridge on the Oneida Indian
reservation which resulted in the kill
ing of eight men and one child.
According to the story as brought in
from the reservation a woman went out
into the yard where several little chill
dren We're playing, caught a chicken
and chopped off it's head with an axe.
She left the axe on the ground. In
Dlediately on her returning to the house
one of the children suggested that they
play chicken and proceeded TO carry
out the suggestion.
The youngest child was selected to act
the part of the chicken. The child was
seized and it's head placed on a block
and hacked off.
A number of men were engaged on
derrick in the yard raising heavy tim
beers in the erection of a barn. As soon
as the men above noticed the child be-
ing beheaded they became panic strick-

bers which were being raised fell with
an awful crash, killing eight men,

DEFEAT OF WOMAN SUFFRAGE
IN OREGON.

The proposed amendment to the con-
stitution Of oregon, granting the fran
chise to women was defeated at the
election last Tuesday.
In the ten years from 1889 to 1899. the
women Of Colorado, Utah and Idaho
acquired the full right to vote. Illinois,
Connecticut and Ohio granted women
school suffrage. Minnesota permitted
them to vote for members Of library
boards. Iowa gave them a very re-
stricted right to vote on questions in
volving the issue of municipal bonds.
Louisiana empowered taxpaying wo-
men to vote on all questions submitted
to taxpayers,
But in the same ten years three diff
ferent suffrage bills failed in Arizona,
three in Arkansas, two in South Da-
kOta, four in California, and four bills
and one constitutional amendment in
Connecticut In Delaware the consti-
tutional convention refused to strike
out the word male. In Illinois four
suffrage bills failed, and two failed in
Indiana
In Ohio a suffrage amendment was
defeated, and two suffrage bills failed
to pass. In the state Of Washington
a suffrage amendment was defeated at
the polls although in the territory of
Washington woman's suffrage was the
rule Woman's suffrage was no more
popular in Mississippi and Missouri
than in Rhode Island and Vermont, no
more popular in an old state like Maine
than in a new state like South Dakota.
In 1895 all voters in Massachusetts,
men and women, who We're eligible to
vote for school committees. were al
lowed to vote on the question: rs it
expedient that municipal suffrage be
granted to women?" OF the men, Sc. $40
voted yes and 1ss,97e no. OF the 575.-
900 women entitled to vote more than
$4,000 declined to do so, and less than
per cent. voted yes. In Chicago. %, =
Sl5 women registered for the school
elections of 1894. but 1.4ss for those of
1898. In Cleveland. the woman's school
vote fell from 1891 to so between 1895
and 1898.
From the foregoing facts the Chicago
Inter-Ocean draws the conclusion that
women themselves are not in favor OF
Woman's suffrage.

HOOD VS.. HOOD.
@. I. Hood & Go. Victorious in I'M
portant Cases - Injunction
Against DR.. ], @. Hood.

Important suits have just been de-
cided in the United States circuit court
Involving the right to the word Hood
or Hoods. Messrs. c. l. Hood & Co.,
OF Lowell, Mass, proprietors of Hoods
Sarsaparilla, began suit for infring-
ment against DIR. ]. c. Hood of Louis
vile, Ky, who was putting up what
he called DIR. Hoods Sarsaparilla"
After hearing in the United States
circuit court at Louisville, Judge Evans
on April u granted a temporary in
junction in favor of G. I. Hood & Co,
and restraining J. c. Hood from using
the word Hood in any way or form on
any preparation of sarsaparilla.
Messrs. c, l. Hood & Co. also began
suit against a retail druggist in Indian
apolis Louis II. Renkert, who was sell
ing DIR. ]. c. Hoods Sarsaparilla. Dr.
J. c. Hood employed counsel and made
q defense but Judge Baker of the
United States circuit court granted an
injunction which on. April % became
perpetual.
These two DEGREES establish the ex-
elusive right of c. I. Hood & Co. to the
word Hoods and deciCe IN effect that
no other person can put up a Hood s
Sarsaparilla even if his name is Hood,
nor can any retail druggist sell or offer
for sale any sarsapaT1lla bearing the
name Hood or Hoods other than that
prepared by c. /. Hood & Co.
These decisions will be gratifying to
every fair minded person. No manu-
facturer should object to fair competi-
ton, but where an attempt is made to
steal or infringe upon a business which
has been established by great Skill
labor and expenditure, justice cannot
be dealt out too quickly, Nor should
substitution" be allowed, when a stan
dard article is called for. Therefore,
when you go to buy Hoods Sarsaparilla
you should be sure to get only
Hoods"
