It certainly gets my goat the
way the pigeons give me the go

For years and years I've been
trying to free lunch the birds

them up. but what / aim for is
to have them float down and

Not chance!
The nearest they will come is

I stand and throw them the eats
the better they seem to like it..
Now this wouldn't matter so
much If they treated everybody

they run up to him like a flock

It may be that in trying to iIni-

And along comes q taxi, that

Fossil Men Find Crocodile
(Rlack Hills .JOurnaD

The skeleton of a crocodile, which inhabited
western South Dakota millions of years ago, has
been found by school OF mines fossil hunters, work
ing in the Badlands south of Scenic.
The find is rare one. comparatively few such
skeletons have been uncovered. 1t is of special
interest in showing in striking manner. the Fori-
dian character of the climate in the Badlands region
during early Ogocene time of the earths dawn, i.
adds further proof that the country was then land
of inundation.
The prehistoric crocodile was about seven feet in
length. second species, that existed here shows
characters tending toward the alligaors.
The school OF mines party also has unearthed the
complete skeleton Of a sabertoothed tiger socaled
by reason Of two great sword saberlike teeth of
the upper jaw. They were vicious creatures and
were probably large the present day leopard
and apparently much more powerful. Their fool
probably consisted in large measure of the thick
skinned rhinoceroses land other similar animals
that lived in that period. They all ferocious
beasts OF prey and species approaching the size
OF the African lion. was the largest fesh-eating
animal Of his day. The mouth was large in order
to give greatest freedom to the sabereeth in stab
bling the prey.
The fossil searchers have also uncovered skele-
tons of titanohera, small rodents as we'll as
other much-desred specimens, it is learned from
Glenn Jepsen director of the party, which is camped
in the Castle Butte country % miles south Of
Scenic.

is camped Corral Draw and is in search of

The letter printed in the news col
umns Of the Sun yesterday was a
most Illuminating sidelight on the
soul of a woman.
1t also shows that the physical
side Of human being is not to be
ignored.
Until the woman who calls herself
Mabel suffers the pangs of hunger,
she strides through life in her ruth
less way. BY her own confession she
encouraged a man to make love to
her hoping that in some way she
could get rid Of the husband she had
found out to be crook. She did
manage to effcctually get rid of this
husband for in sudden fit of anger
sent to prison for life. .
In a part of the letter which was
not published she tells how she in
weighed another man-hardly more
than boy-to fall in love with her,
and one of the reasons why she came
back was to be revenged ON the
woman who foiled her.
She wanted to make the whole
world suffer for her own sins, and
she succeeded in doing it for long
while, but at last fate overlook her.
If her conscience did not cry out
against her, her stomach did Alone
and Hungry-that is the head that
might be written over most Of those
who prey upon society, when they
become old.

to time and place where the friends

last great adventure in the face with

II is q rather peculiar state Of
affairs that Mrs. John Alden Pres
colts pearls are woven in with this
sordid tragedy. 1t makes one think
that the old tradition of bad luck
following in the wake of pearls is a
true one.
The jewels have contacted with the
highest and the lowest. They have
caused the death of one young girl
in the heyday of her beauty, and
they have given woman evidently

what Il lingering death of starvation
may mean.
About the jewels belonging to Mrs.
Prescott there has hung romance.
jealousy, unhappiness and sin The
string is supposed to be the most
valuable in the United States, but
Mrs. Prescott has been heard to say
that she hopes she will never feel
them on her neck again. One rather
thinks that no woman would ever
wear splendid jewels if she could
know their histories. There is not
a valuable string of pearls, not q
great diamond or ruby or emerald
in the United States today that has
not had Il history of bIoodshed and
tragedy.

ON HEALTH-
DIRT AIDS IN SPREAD OF
DANGEROUS DISEASE

If the tuberculosis patient uses a
cup which cannot be burned as a re-
ceptacle for his sputum. this cup
should be partially filled with per
cent carbolic acid or strong I've
water. This should be left IN the
cup all day while the article is in
use.
However, Public Health Service
does not advise the use of unburn-
able cups by tuberculosis patients.
aterproof paper cups which can
be burned are the best sputum re-
ceivers and the only sputum receiv-
ers which this service recommends
for use.
By far the best way to dispose of
sputum is to receive it in water
proof paper cups and then to burn
cup and contents together in the
fire. These cups are chean I'D can
be bought in most drug stores.
Small ones can be carried in the
pocket and large ones placed near
the bed.
SPLITTING A
DANGEROUS HABIT
The man who expectorates pro-
miscuously here. there, and every
where without regard for the well
fare of others should be regarded
with suspicion and disapproval and
should be taught to correct these
dangerous practices. The habitual
use of a sputum cup by every per-
son suffering from tuberculosis
should be compulsory For use on
the street there are several forms Of
pocket cups, some of which can be
concealed in a handkerchief and
used without being seen.
We need to cultivate everywhere a
sentiment in favor of the sputum
cup. The person who carries such a
cup deserves respect and approval,
IL SHOWS him to be a good citizen, q
law ablder and person Of clean
habits.
Fighting the germ of tuberculosis
is hard fight but winning one.
The prevention of the disease Should
be the central object of any anti.tu-
berculosis work.
The value of health talks, includ-
ing talks on tuberculosis, especially
in the case Of school children, is un-
questioned. When we supply our
children with helpful school rules
and teach them the value of good
health. sanitary homes, proper and
sufficient food, physical iraininp.
baths, suitable clothing and the inn
portance of temperance and clean
lives, the lessons taught will be ap-
piled in our homes and workshops.
such plan should be supplements
ed by annual medical examination
for the recognition of early cases.
You should remember that the pro-
lection of young children from infec-
ton is perhaps the most important
single factor concerned in the pre-
vention of tuberculosis.
