There art not only myriads of fossils In the marine deposits, but In many of the formations laid down on land there Is a profusion of r ganic remains. "The lands seem to have been Well watered, with wide lowlands and swampy areas that bore a rankty .hi mi riant vegetation. The plant record far surpasses that of any earlier geologic period, and It compares In completeness with that of later times. "Amphibians and repllles, vary ing In size and degree of advance, meat, paddled In ponds find rivers and waddled on the land. Large Insects crawled about or droned through the air. In fresh waters there were fishes, mollusks and numerous nstrncodes, "The shallow seas teemed with life .which, like that today, was probably more abundant in indi viduals and species than the life of' the land. Among the plants, ther j were lime-secrettng algae and doubtless other sort of seaweeds.

Enjoy healthful fruits and vegetables . . . - Flavored with sugar they are delicious "My first rule for healthful eating," said one of. the foremost food scientists in this country, "would be to insist on at least one. dish of raw vegetable salad and at least one raw fruit every day. "My second rule would be very similar to cat at least one cooked vegetable and one cooked fruit every day. You can vary the fruits and vegetables according to the season, their price, and your taste. His next remark emphasized the value of sugar in making fruits and vegetables so palatable that people would eat them, not simply for their benencial results, but for general enjoyment of their flavor". "Sug.ir," he explained, "is the greatest of all condimental foods. It brings out the natural flavor of fruits and vegetables." . It is important that people enjoy the food they eat. Otherwise they will not eat a varied enough diet. Sugar, nature's most per fect flavor, plays a part in making almost all the foods we eat more inviting. . A pinch of sugar improves the flavor of nearly every vegetable. Remember a dash of sugar in cereal, in tea or coffee, in all milk drinks. Most foods arc more delicious and nourishing with sugar.
