who carried OK their Infamous trade
In Edinburgh, William Burke was
born il Ireland in 1892, and went to
Scotland as q laborer about 1917 In
1927 he was living in a cheap lodging
house kept by another Irish Iaborer
named William Hare. About the end
Of 1927 one Of Hare's dodgers, an army
pe1st0ner, died, and Burke and Hare
sold the body TO DIR. Robert Knox,
an Edinburgh Qnatomist. Hare there
upon suggested body-snatching as q
business and Burke agreed. The two
men then Started IN to euttce poor
travellers to uare's or some other
cheap lodging house. The victims
were piled with liquor and then SUI
located under mattresses, without
marks Of violence. Doctor Knox took
the bodies and paid up to Ella $500
for them. At least 10 people had
been murdered in this way before
Burke and Hare were arrested. Hare
turned kings evidence, and Burke
was found guilty and hanged In Edin-
burgh on January IS 1929. Hare
found Scotland too hot for him and
went to England. where he is believed
to have died under an assumed name.

origin In Buke's method Of doing

LARGEST KNOWN FOSSIL BONE
Discovery Made in Northern Ne"
Mexico Is Interesting for More
Than One Reason.

The largest shoulder blade OF any
animal on record, ancient OF modern,
has been discovered in San Juan basin
in northern New Mexico by John s.
Keeside, Jr., Of the United States
geological survey. This scapula bone
is part of an immense extinct UuosauH
estimated to be over one hundred feet
long and markedly larger Than any
previously known 10 have existed.
Charles Z. Gilmore Of the National
museum in Washington has assembled
the collection Of pieces of this fossil
scapula and has found that the total
length of the bone is more than i've
feet, nearly as tall as man. Tins IS
five times the length Of the shoulder
blade of a COW Of today.
The large fossil was found IN the
part of the earth that was deposited
and formed in the Upper Cretaceous
era, and this indicates to the seoloGiSt
that the dinosaurs lived at later
GEOLOGIC time than they had previously
supposed. This fact has created more
stir in geological circles than the
size Of the fossil.
Dinosaurs we're large reptiles with
long necks. little heads and brains
and long tails. Their bodies look
somewhat like that of an diversified
elephant with hind legs longer than
fore legs. They dominated the earth

TUo simple home tests
Low Melting Point
Easy Digestibility!

Into half a glass of lukewarm
water drop a small lump each of
Crisco and any other fat. With a
spoon gradually add hot water
until Crisco melts. You will find
that few other fats melt at this
point. Food authorities say that
an easily digested fat should melt
near body heat-o8 2j5 degrees.
Crisco, you will find, melts even
below this temperature. 1t melts
at 81 degrees. (This test does not
necessarily condemn the digesti-
bility of the other fat, but it will
aid you to establish Crisco's fine
digestibility.)
Great Falls tribune. [volume] (Great Falls, Mont.) 1921-current, 1922-09-17
Avoid Smoke and
Odor!

Put into separate pans equal
amounts of Crisco and any other
fat. Heat slowly for eight min
utes or until they reach a tenn
perature where a bread crumb
browns in 40 seconds.
Notice that the Crisco, unlike
most cooking fats, does not smoke
at this proper frying temperature.
You will find that frying with
Crisco will be very helpful in
keeping your whole house fresh
and free from the odor of cooking
fats.
Great Falls tribune. [volume] (Great Falls, Mont.) 1921-current, 1922-09-17
HOW to use CriScO

IN PAN FRYING as in deep frying,
Crisco has reached proper frying heat
when it browns a bread crumb in 40 sec
onds. do not wait for Crisco to smokey
BY straining Crisco you can use it again
and again. AS SHORTENING use is
less of Crisco than you would of animal fats.

course, for her little ones, and for
the older members of her family
as well. For Crisco, a pure fat of
vegetable origin, provides both easy
digestion and delicious, natural
favored foods.
Women r often kind enough
to tell us that their reputation as
fine cooks is based largely on their
Crisco foods. Light, tender cakes;
faky pie crusts; fried foods whose
quickly formed brown crust pre-
vents fat absorption.
Common sense tells mothers that
SO healthful a shortening as Crisco
must cost, in a weeks cooking, a
few cents more than do fats of
questionable digestibility.
They would no more deliberately

ing than they would deliberately
buy inferior milk.

What a Board
Education learned

In one of our prosperous sub
urban communities the Board
of Education recently reported
in part: "One third of ourpupils
are under-nourished. Children
are too often entirely dependent
upon servants for their food"
Think of it! Wealthy children
under-nourished! With food a.
plenty, insufficient thought was
given to it's selection and making.
Fortunately, however, most intel
ligent mothers know that their
home kitchens can mold for good
or for i'll, the very lives of their
boys and girls.
They know, for example, that a
certain amount of fat, in foods, is
essential to human health and
strength. The wise mother assures
herself that the fat employedin bak-
ing and frying foods for her chill
dren is n which readily digests.
