Soda crackers are
extremely sensitive
to moisture.
Before the advent of
Uneeda Biscuit the
only persons who
ever tasted fresh,
crisp soda crackers
were the people in
the bakeries.
Imagine their trip
from bakery to your
table; exposed to air
and moisture-kept
ingrocers' boxes and
finally in a paper bag
on the shelf in your
pantry. Gould they
be the same as they
were the day they
were baked?
Now that we have
Uneeda Biscuit-we
have perfectly

perfectly kept. ;,

international Meeting to Pass
on Question
FULLY 100000 TONS NOW
The Annual Export Limitation-Sugar
Scarce in Europe; Plenty in Russia
Discussion as to Effect on
Price in This Country.

Brussels, Oct. 20.-The international
sugar conference has been summoned
to meet at Brussels next week to con-
slider request made by Russia that she
be permitted to denounce the agreement
of 1907, whereby her sugar exports were
limited until 1918. Russias reason for
this request is the exceptional crop. Her
stocks are overwhelming and she wishes
TO increase her exports. If the re-
quest is granted, the price of sugar
will fall in all European markets.
The question of the admission of Rus
sian sugar to this country has recently
been subject to considerable interest at
Washington. Russia, owing to the linn
itation OF the annual export to 100000
tons. already has large surplus on
hand, and recent figures Indicate that
the forthcoming crop will be 100000
tons, or considerably larger than the
past year This viii add TO the surplus
available for export, while the other
European countries and the United
States are suffering for lack Of sugar
and are forced TO pay high prices in con-
sequence Both the authorities OF the
customs division OF the treasury and Of
the bureau of statistics in the depart
ment of commerce and labor are OF the
opinion, however, that Russia cannot
send sugar here IN excess Of the 100000
tons aggregate limitation annually i'm.
posel upon all exports from Russia, ex-
cept those to Persia, China and Finland,
without getting the permission OF the
powers which took pa-t in the Brussels
convention itself.
NJ, L. Jaeobsen. chief OF the diyi-
sion OF internal commerce in the bureau
OF statistics and author of a valuable
monograph on the sugar situation, takes
that view.

The distance is half mile and each
man will run 22O yards or three laps
of the gym track. The winners will
be the envy of the college men and
the sorority they represent will haul
home the trophy cup.
Yet that is only part of the pro-

put on for ballast.
March 4 is the date set for the COM

time to state their opposition"
Mr.. BriStOw wrote Mr.. McAul1fre on
the subject, as follows:
1T have yours of February 16, on
behalf of the State Farmers Union.
and I am in accord with your general
views. do not think the duty on
agricultural products has been OF any
great advantage to Kansas. However,
if all the products of the farmer are
to be put on the free list, then the
tariff on the things he buys should be
very materially reduced; and where
they are produced in this country as
ought to be on the free list. think
we can amend this treaty when 1T gets
to the senate so that it will be advan-
tageous."

the subject is as follows:

the great grandson of John Parker, an
'Ironsides" Baptist preacher Of
