good eating.
Though the cost
is but five cents,
Uneeda Biscuit are
too good, too nour
ishing, too crisp,
to be bought merely
as an economy.
Buy them because
of their freshness —

of their goodness—
buy them because of
their nourishment.
Always 5 cents. Al

been permeated with suffrage activ

"Following close upon it comes the

never before were the friends and foes
of woman's freedom more equally

and cupidity held sway, there the
vote for woman suffrage was weak.
Wherever refinement, education, In
dustry and self-respecting manhood
and womanhood dwelt, there ths vote
In favor of women was strong. Ths

Incompetent or corrupt government

“The cry is no longer ‘keep us ig

but ra’l :r ’give us knowledge and
