Ono Of Natures Mysteries,

One Of the most sudden changes In
animal lie revealed in geologic history
took place about the close Of the
mesozoic era, or age Of reptiles, as it
is sometimes popularity called. In
mesozoic time the most powerful ami
mails We're huge land reptiles, known
as dinosaurs, whose bones have been
found in abundance in the Rocky
mountain region. At or near the end
OF mesozolc time these great monsters
suddenly disappeared from the western
country as we'll as from tn. remainder
of the world. They left no descend
ants, but In the following age of man.
mails, or cenOZO1c era, their places as
rulers of the earth were taken by the
mammals. The cause Of the diSaD-
pearance of these great reptiles has
been n matter of rather fruitless spec
ulation. Any explanation which will
be acceptable must also account for
the disappearance of a great many
forms of animal life and the great
modification of most of the others, both
Oh land and in the sea. Some general
cause which would bring about changes
in climate and other conditions of life

satisfactory explanation.

Food is taken into the human body
for the purpose of producing heat.
The standard of its value is the num-
Der of heat units it contains. If too
little fuel is taken into the human
body an insufficient number of heat
units to operate it are received and it
works inefficiently. If, on the other
hand, too great an amount of food is
taken, the body becomes clogged and
works just as ineficiently as if it had
received too small an amount. The
most important thing is to remove
promptly all of the waste materials re-
naming after the food has given up
its heat units. If too great an amount
of this debris is allowed to remain the
fires of the body are in danger of be-
ing put out by these poisonous ma
t~erials. The elimination of these ma
terials is n of the functions of the
intestinal canal. One of the requisites
Of good health is an educated intesti-
nal apparatus. Perhaps this is even
more important than an educated set
of brains. Certainly an educated set
Of brains cannot work effectively so
long as the intestinal apparatus is
badly operated.
Man in u present state Of civili-
cation is obliged to pay particular at
tention to functions which in a state
Of nature took care of themselves. A
robust man engaged in active exercise
in the open air may commit dietary
indiscretions which would be exceed
ingly harmful to a sedentary worker.
Exercise as a part Of the daily life
is, however, absolutely necessary for
both. Plain, wholesome food is just
as necessary for the brain worker as
for him who labors with his hands.
Above all, both must keep the human
furnace we'll shaken down and without
accumulation of ashes and debris in

Friction Skins.

Several theories have been advanced
to explain the c~orrugations Of fingers.
palms inc sOlcS, but the most plausible
Il is that expressed by the term "fric-
ton SKINS given by Mrs. Harris II.
Wilder. Not only man, but all the mon
keys and apes have such ridges on the
skin of the grasping part of their hands
and feet. And. strangely enough, the
American opoSSums and tree pOrcu-
pines, Australian phalangers and South
American monkeys have just such cor
rugatiOnS on their tails.
The openings Of the ducts of the
sweat glands are along tho tops of the
ridges. They supply the slight moisture
that is necessary to proper graSDing.
The Journal of Heredity, in a long
study of hand and foot prints, remarks
hat Il man inStinctively moistenS the
palms of his hands when he wishes to
grasp securely.
The pattern of finger prints is gen.
orally hereditary, but every individual
develops his own details.

FIRE

How many housewives know chat
they have in their own kitchen one of
the best fire extinguishers available ?
Not many we venture. All house
wives should know the value of COM
NOR bicarbonite of soda as a fire kill
ing agent. At the rate of four ounces
to a gallon of water, it forms a chem
ical extinguisher equal to the use of
eighty gallons of plain water. The
mixture will not harm varnish, paint
or clothing. A bucket full of water
and a tin cup of soda may save life
and home. And what is b~icarbonite
of soda? Why it is nothing more
than what is generally known as sal
eratus or baking soda.

Consider the furnace. Theoretical
ly this is a machine for the econom-
ical production of heat. If the proper
amount of the proper kind of fuel is
properly put into it, if the ashes arc
properly cleaned out, if the drafts are
properly managed, the chances are
that it will heat the house properly
If, on the other hand, too much or too
little fuel is put into it, if the fuel
contains too much non-inflamable ma
terial, if the fire is not kept clean OF
ashes, or if the hampers are badly
regulated, the furnace operates inef.
ficiently or cease working altogether
Perhaps the most important thing
next to putting in the fuel is to clean
out the ashes. If these are allowed
to accumulate in the ash pit, the CRATE
bars may be burned out.

MONTANA SPRING WHEAT
SEED IN GREAT DEMAND
U. S. Department of Agriculture
Aiding Those in the
Areas Affected.

Montana is likely to be called upon
to furnish spring wheat seed for the
states of Minnesota, Nebraska, and
the two Dakotas this year according
to inquiries received from these states
by the agronomy department at the
Montana experiment station. The
reason for the shortage in the states
named is the widespread prevalence
there of black rust last year. The
black rust did only a very little dam
age in the extreme eastern part of
Montana; and the investigation made
by Prof. Alfred Atkinson, experiment
station agronomist, shows that there
are abundant supplies of excellent
spring grain seed to be had in Mon
tana.
The estimates of the U. S. depart
ment of agriculture show that the
spring wheat yield in Minnesota,
North and South Dakota, and Ne
braska was reduced by the rust to the
amount of 100000, 900 bushels. In
many parts of these states the supply
of disable spring wheat seed is very
small.
On the other hand the tests made
at the state seed grain laboratory at
the State college show that the grain
this last season in Montana was good.
Even the samples sent in from the
rust-infected districts, though some
what shrunken, shows good germina-
ton quality. Montana's total yield
last year was estimated at 16,89O,00O
bushels.

ever held in the history of the auto.
mobile industry at Toledo last
month, one of it's chief attractions was
the complete line of New Overland
and Willys-Knight models on exhibi-
ton at the factory's show-rooms
The convention had been in session
less than a week when it became evi-
dent to officials of the company that
the entire production of Country Club
roadsters would be insufficient to meet
the demands of it's dealers.
E. NJ. Bachrach, the Overland dealer
at Manila, travelled thousands of miles
in order to attend the convention. He
brought with him to Toledo a certi-
fed check for 100000 and was SO
enthusiastic over the appearance and
performance of the Country Club
roadster that he was half inclined to
invest the whole amount in this one
model alone.
Mr.. Bachrach's enthusiasm over the
Country Club sport model was shared
by every one of the 5000 dealers who
attended the Overland convention.
Every mar who observed it had some
thing good to say about it. Those
who cared to, tried it out over the
country roads and the city thorough
fares and were delighted with it's per-
Torrance. Its light weight and short
wheel base enabled them to handle it
easily in any kind of traffic. The
powerful four-cylinder motor gave
them all the speed they were looking
for.
Zone would think that the Country
Club roadster is a curiosity Of some
kind, judging from the attention it is
attracting" says John N. WHY'S,
president of the WHY'S Overland COM
pany.
"1n a way it is a curiosity because
it is the only real smart sport model
in the low priced class, but it is a
practical car in every detail. 1t is a
quality car from base to top, designed
to answer the requirements of a army
of buyers who want a distinctive me-
dium-priced automobile.

The present war has wrought many
