Sixty Million Years

The skeleton of a prehistoric demo
don, calculated to be 60,000,000 years
Gid, has been installed in Dinosaur
Hall at the American Museum of Ma
tural History, in New York The de-
inodon which is also known as "ter-
Iible TOOTH" is described as perhaps
the most swift and powerful creature
Of its time.
The skeleton stands II feet &
inches high and measures 20 feet from
the nose to the tip of its tail. 1t is
times as much as the largest lion of
today. DR.. w. D. Matthews, curator
of the museums department of YER
tebrate paleontology, says the demo
don was .sextinct before the earliest
caveman. The deinodon lived during
the cretaceous period of the age Of

The skeleton of the deinodon was
found three years ago by Charles H.
Slernberg in the canon of the Red

Tobacco Exports

The exported fraction of the to-
tacco crop has been diminishing
enc, For 1890 the fraction was rs
per cent; for 1864, 81 per cent;
for 1S75-15S4, 81 per cent, from which
the decline was steady to Al per cent
Ill 1905-1914. The percentage was 40
for 1915, SO for 1916, &c for 1917, and
47.5 for 1918, no allowance being made
for the carry over. AS fraction of
this country's crop, the imports of to-

til 1906, when they were ga per cent,
and never exceeded 6 per cent, except
in 1915, when they were barely more,
1916 when they were &c per cent,

BOOKS WRITTEN
IN PRISON

Some of the greatest books in all
literature were written in the soil
tuGe of the prison cell, says the Sing
Sing Bulletin. Vincent Blasco Ibanez
enc of the foremost writer's of fiction
today, began his literary career while
serving 14-year prison sentence in
a Spanish penitentiary for his political
activities in an attempt to free Cuba
His illustrious countryman, Cervantes
who wrote the greatest Spanish novel
Don Quixote," was prisoner in
Madrid jail when writing that master
piece.
John Bunyan was confined in Bed
ford Jail for u years, his Pilgrim E
Progress" having been written while
he was prisoner there. His Grace
Astounding" and Holy War" were also
written in prison. Dante wrote most
of his wonderful poems while in pen
Try and exile, after he had been con-
demned to be burned at the stake.
Raleigh wrote his History of the
World" during his 10 years imprison-
ment in London Tower.
Robinson Caruso," book read in
every country in the world, was writ
ten in jail by Defoe. Thomas Cooper
vas confined in Stafford Jail when
he gave to literature his "Purgatory
of Suicide" Oscar Wilde's de Pro-
funds" is perhaps the most sorrow
full story that was ever penned within
prison walls.
Others who wrote within dungeons
were Campanella, who was 81 years
in cell where no ray of sunlight ever
penetrated; Lovelace, Boetus, Grotius
and great many other writer's of
note.

Canned Tomato

Against Rigid Casts

If you want your month-old baby
to be entirely free from the faint OF

or woman, don't interfere with the

discussions of prominent physicians
recently at the second session of the
Hath annual convention of the Medi.
cal Society of the State of New York
at the Waldorf-Astoria and the Hotel
McAlpin.
DR.. A. F. Hess said canned tomatoes
are ideal food, are serviceable and
well born" and could be given in
one-ounce quantities to month-old
babies without harm.
The revelations concerning the i'm
portance of the thyroid and other
glands were contained in the paper
on "The Relationship of the External
Appearance OF the Body to Disease, y
read by DR.. George Draper of the
Rockefeller Institute.
According to DR.. Draper, a physi-
clan familiar with the action of the
glands has only to look into the faces
of persons in his audience to tell
what diseases they have had, ought
to have had or probably will have.
He referred in illustration, to the
fact that people of dark complexion
or with pronounced freckles or moles
had proved most susceptible TO in

Food Inspection Decision 1T ell,
titled Soda Water Flavors and Soda,
Soda Water" in conformity with this
policy, was issued by the United
States Department of Agriculture
August 20, 1918. 1t was published
again in Circular 1876 entitled Stan
dards of Purity for Food Products. .
This states in effect, that the pres
ence of capsicum, the extract of red
pepper, in ginger ale must be declared
on the label. 1t appears from an
investigation of numerous ginger ales
On the market that while this regula
ton is being generally complied with,
yet there are some bottlers of ginger
ale whose products come within the
jurisdiction of tn Federal Food and
Drug Acts of 1906, who apparently are
not familiar with the provision of this
re gulation. Therefore, bottlers who
are not complying with Food Inspec-

Modern long range shells are cigar

and at the rear, This tapering of the
rear end is called 'boat-tailing. You

tailed shell or automobile is actually
