to discover the nature OF the fossil
was made July 30 when Professor
Norman, Wharton and Hill visited
the location.

obtained and with the assistance Of
other members of the geology class
the removal Of the skeleton from its

The Mesozoic reptiles comprised q

the first true reptiles appeared IN
the Permain, the latter part Of the
Paleozoic era, which next preceded
the Mesozoic era.

Variety i'm Halloween Menus
BY LYDIA LIE BARON WALKER.

Simple refreshments for q party can
consist of doughnuts, apples. cheese and
cider. Another menu consists OF pump
kin pie and cheese sandwiches with
coffee or cider. A third, just trifle
more elaborate, is made up of assorted
sandwiches, homemade pickles, stuffed
baked apples, steaming hot cheese and
cider.
To stuff the apples, remove the cores,
and fill the holes with q mincemeat
mixture well mixed with egg, so that 1t
will keep its shape and not run out of
the apples Sprinkle each rosy checked
apple with very yellow grated cheese
just as it is served, and surround with
mint jujubes.
A menu to satisfy a supper appetite
consists of Welsh rarebit on crackers or
toast, accompanied by very thin sand
witches, ham and chicken being excel
lent to 20 with the cheese dish. There
should be pickles. Follow this with
pumpkin pie. fruit and nuts and candy.
There are endless kinds of pictorial
Halloween CONNECTIONS.
A decorative dish for Halloween re-
freShmentS or for supper consists OF
witch candle salad. Buy as many
favors, such as come to put in cakes,
as there are guests to be served. Make
each candlestick from large round
using a curl of skin for a handle. Into
the hole left where the core was cut
out put q small peeled banana, cut
pointed at the top and tipped with
slivers OF the red and yellow apple skin
to suggest q fame. Thrust one of the
wee hat favorS into the banana candle,
being careful to conceal the spot either
by smoothing the banana about the
spot or by making a number Of similar
marks here and there on the banana.
Place each candlestick on a leaf of
green lettuce.
Guests should be advised to beware
the candles, for they hold good or bad
fortune for all who eat. 1t certainly
would be bad fortune If someone bit
too hard on a favor! Serve cheese
sticks called witches wands with the
salad. Pass mayonnaiSe or cream
dressing for the salad. but do not put
it on the candlesticks. Pears can be
substituted for apples.

the simplest way of managing it.
A tablespoonful of olive oil three
times q day, taken in the same amount
of crapeiuice, will help you put on
weight. To get rid of the blackheads,
rub some oil or q cleansing cream into
them and bathe with warm water and
soap. Always make the last rinse after
bathing the face and throat very cold
to close the pores and tone the skin.
Choosing Foods.
Take any menu in a big hotel or
restaurant and watch the way men and
women choose their foods, and you will
see why some Of them are too fat and
some as thin as the edge of knife.
Many meals begin with hors d'oeuvre.
The fat woman loves sardines which are
packed with oil, and eggs coated with
thick layers of mayonnaise. The thin
ones adore vegetable salad, picked
onion, beetroot and the sweet red pep
pers the Italians are so fond Of. None
of these are fattening. Then there are
SOUPS. Most likely the fat woman will
choose a thick cream soup, the thin
woman q clear one. A thick soup Is
exactly 10 times as fattening as clear
soup. r
fattening in itself, no matter how 1t Is
cooked, but other fish are only fatten-
ing If they are fried, In which case they
take lot of cooking oil, or If they are
served with a sauce rich with flour and
milk and eggs. After this there is a
choice of meats. The fat woman likes
pork, becon and ham, all of which
should be forbidden her If she wants TO
keep her figure. She loves the actual
fat on meat and can consume pork
chop down to a shred Of its bone. We
know the fat woman's weakness Tor
potatoes; she particularly adores them
creamed with a sauce full of flour and
milk and butter. Even tomatoes, which
diet, she likes best, when dipped In
-four and breadcrumbs and fried. As
| for her love of sweets, of ice creams
and rice puddingS, Of sailed nuts with
meals and tidbits between meals, why
these are things she can't resist.
You've only to choose your foods
wisely to keep your figure slim, to have
them cooked with as little fat as pos
sible, to eat the lean parts Of meat
fruit rather than buildings and to drink
water between meals when you're
hungry.

Your Baby and Mine
BY MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED.

Mrs H. writes: would you be kind
enough to write about falls in your
column? My baby IT months old, has
had three hard falls, the worst one
when he was running up and down q
cot and fell headlong to the floor.
There are no serious results so far, but
should I have consulted a doctor?
What is the first aid for bumps? How
much cod liver oil should child Of
this age have who doesn't get sunshine?
Is q little meat all right daily? How
large q quantity of cereal can be cooked
at once, and how long? Should he still
have O o'clock early morning bottle
and his breakfast at z, too"
Answer-Falls are experiences which
no active baby can escape. We should
keep him from dangerous places, but
babies must learn to 60 up and down
stairs, to climb on chairs, and naturally
they are bound to get falls and bumps.
The healthy child RECEIVERS far more
keep her head. Pick up the child, re-
frain from acting frightened Gas this
scares the baby, too) and say, "Oh, big
bump!'
The most speedy way to end the pain,
the future soreness and discoloration,
is to use alternate pads of cloth or cot
ton dipped first in hot and then in cold
water. The change Of temperatures dis
pels the congestion. A baby falls with
out resistance and so escapes many in
juries. If he is pale and languid after
ward, acts shocked and in pain, call the
doctor Immediately. If he begins to
play and forgets 1t all, you may be sure
he isn't badly hurt.
Now about the feeding. Our readers
should take advantage Of the feeding
leaf1et offered here so often. It con-
tainS all the information for which you
are asking-milk formulas, recipes for
cereal and soup. information about
orange juice, prune juice, cod liver oil
eggs, vegetables, and diet lists for vari-
Gus ages. Send self-addreSsed stamped
envelope and ask for. WEAVING and
Feeding From Six Weeks to Six Years
This fully addressed envelope is i'm
perative, so that the leafiet can be re-
turned to the reader. Since so many
of you ask. How can I get it," this i
the answer:
Cod liver oil is given in small doses
each Winter until the child is 2 years
old. Eggs or meat are permissible once
daily. Cereal is to be cooked one hour
for fine wheat preparations one hour
for quick cooking oats and two to three
for the long cooking types. It is better
to prepare 1t fresh each day, as cold
cereal isn't appetizing and cannot be
reheated to quite its fresh delicacy.
The child past year should have
three meals day. This means all cur
feelings and no bottles, so obviously
there is no bottle in the morning His
milk feeding should come right along
with the rest Of his o'clock breakfast.

Uuper Arms and Chin.

Dear Miss Leeds: "a The upper part
of my arms are quite large and f1abby,
and I have done lot OF exercising
to no avail. Can you tell me how
to make them smaller? (2) also
have double chin. How can get rid
of it? M. D. G.
Answer-You do not give me your
height, weight or age. Probably you
are little overweight, or you may
exercises that bring into play the
fiabby upper arm muscles. Here is an
exercise that you may take regularly
night and morning for several weeks.
Stand erect with both arms stretched
over your head, palms facing. Bring
the forearmS down briskly, elbows bent
upward close to the face. Now touch
the shoulder blades behind with the
muscles MUSCLES underneath % a the the arms pull
tightly. Repeat 10 to 20 times twice
a day. Swimming, tennis and golf are
excellent exercises for flabby upper
arms. Single arm exercises and the
punching bag will timber up the arm
and shoulder muscles and trim down
the excess fat from them. After the
exercise period, massage the arms and
underarms with rubbing alcohol for
several minutes.
(2) When there is tendency to
double chin, or an undue presence OF
fat around the jaws, q compress
noistened with mild astringent may
be bound in place on retiring. Neck
exercises, massage and correct posture
are also necessary. Stand erect, hold
your head high when sitting, standing
or walking. The stretching of the head
forward backward and from side to
side will also prevent double chin
from forming. The neck exercises will
keep the muscles firm and supple and
the correct posture will give the head
graceful poise. Battle the throat
and neck in hot and cold water alter
nately Dry and massage for several
minutes with the fingers, pinch the
flesh gently and use the long stroking
movements. Use an astringent cream
for the massage. Apply witch-hazel
compress at bedtime. LOIS LEEDS.
