"Air dragon" with wing-spread of
 three feet. (After Marsh.)

"Air dragon" with wing-spread of
 three feet. (After Marsh.)
 Flying-reptiles are also called "air dragons" playful name.
 While I was visiting the British museum in London, l saw the im- print of one of the largest flying reptiles that ever lived. The inn print was made on mud which later a "picture'' for us to see. From wing-tip to wing-tip, the imprint measures 22 feet, which means that the reptile which left 1t had a larger wingspread than any bird living to- day.
 We call those animals flying reptiles" because they were on the order of reptiles and could fly. Prob ably their motion through the air was as jerky as the flight of bats.
 If you study the skeleton of a fiying-reptile, you see that each wing contains bones which may re- mind person of finger bones; but the bone which should belong to the little finger is the longest of all! In some cases it measures from seven to nine feet in length!
 Between the little finger" and the body of the flying reptile was a membrane which served as a wing. Imprints left by fying-reptiles seem to prove they had no feathers. If they had had feathers, we could class them as birds.
 Many skeletons of f1ying-reptiles have been found in Kansas. The skull-bones sometimes measure more than 35 inches, showing that the larger members of the tribe had long heads. The bodies were not large, however, and the total weight of the largest fiying-reptile is be- lieved to have been about 25 pounds. It would be a mistake to suppose that all flying-reptiles wer' of huge size. Many had wingspreads of only two or three feet. The smaller ones probably caught insects for a living, while the larger ones may have fed largely on fish.

D. G. Mother
Knew Best

WISE mothers find the things
w that keep children contented,
happy, well. Most of them have
learned they can depend on one thing
to restore youngsters good nature
when he's cross, fretful, upset.
The experience of Mrs. L. J. Grant,
901 G ST., S. E., Washington, is a
typical one. She says: Il have used
California Fig Syrup with Howard
and Frank for quite some time.
Whenever they're the least bit con-
stipated or restless l give them a
little. 1t has them comfortable,
happy, we'll in a jiffy. Their splendid
condition proves | knew best when
| decided to use this wonderful
preparation with them"
Physicians endorse the use of pure
vegetable California Fig Syrup when
bad breath, coated tongue, dullneSs,
feveriShness, listlesSnesS, ETC., show
a child's bowels are in need of help.
Weak stomach and bowels are toned
by its gentle aid; appetite increased; !;
digestion and assimilation are so
assisted that weak, undernourished
children quickly improve in weight,
strength and energy.
The genuine always bears the word
California. So look for that when
buying. All drugstores have it.

To Break Up
a Cold
In a Jiffy
Feel Like a New Person
In Just a Little While

People have found out that new
tangled ideas and notions don't
break up colds. So millions have
turned back to first principles
and use what they know breaks
one up in a jiffy. Even a little"
cold is too dangerous to trifle
with.
The thing to do is to get Hills
Cascara Quinine at any drug
store. Take two tablets now.
Then follow directions on box.
Drink lots of water, too-that's
all.
Soon you'll start to feel like a
new person. Things will loosen up,
your head will clear; aching 60
you'll be back on the job with a
wallop.
Get Hills now. 1t is a scientific
formula made to do one thing
lUeI! to knock a cold-not to
cure a thousand ailments. Get
your money back if it doesn't
work with ttUice the speed of any
thing else you've ever tried.
