 liow careful tiie balding, 

 once expose soda cracl<- 

 erstothe sligiitest damp- 

 ness of air and they lose 

 their taste and much of 

 their food value. 



That's why bulk crackers kept in barrels, boxes and 

 cans get tasteless and tough and hard to swallow. 

 They absorb moisture, and they also gather dust, germs 

 and store odors. What a pity that this most nutritious 

 of flour foods is so contaminated ! 



But there is a soda cracker too 

 good,tooperfecttobethustreated! 

 After baking, Uneeda Biscuit are 

 immediately placed in dust tight, 

 moisture proof packages, which 

 preserve their crispness, flavor 

 and nourishment.

The Sunlight Double Glass 

 Sash is the greatest invention 

 for plant forcing, since the 

 hot-bed itself. 



The two layers of glass take the place 

 of mats or boards — eliminate all the 

 drudgery of getting out in the wet, cold 

 or snow to cover or uncover the plants. 



How the two layers of glass 



protect the plants and 



aid growth 



or Hot-beds 

 and Cold-|raines 





Between the two layers of grlass is a fi inch blanket of 

 dry, still air. Beinff transparent, this layer permits tlie 

 plants to pet all the light all the time. Glass slips in and 

 is held securely without putty. Easily repaired. 



Have fresh vegetables and flowers 

 when they are luxuries 



Fresh lettuce and radishes any time you want them; 

 violets all winter; cabbage, cauliflower, beets, etc., to set 

 out early in the spring-; tomato, pepper and sweet potato 

 plants ready as soon as it is warm outside. 

 Arthur Vandennes, Pt. Marion, Pa., says: 



"Three degrees below zero. Nothing- was hurt. I had 

 lettuce and radishes before most people were thinking- of 

 plantiner them. If any one wants information concerningr 

 Sunlisht Double Glass Sash, I will be glad to grive it to 

 them."

Wall Papers and

A Practical Handbook 



for Decorators, Paperhangers, Archi- 

 tects, Builders and House Owners, 

 with many half-tone and other illus- 

 trations showing the latest designs 



By ARTHUR SEYMOUR JENNINGS 



EXTRACT FROM PREFACE 



THE author has endeavored to include 

 characteristic designs in vogue to- 

 day, and to give reliable information 

 as to the choice of wall papers as well as 

 to describe the practical methods of ap- 

 plying them. In dealing with matters 

 concerning decoration there is always the 

 danger of leaning too much toward an 

 ideal and of overlooking the practical re- 

 quirements of commercial life. The au- 

 thor hopes that he has been successful in 

 avoiding this fault, and that his book will 

 be regarded as both practical and useful.
