WELL IN WINTER
Winter is a dngerous season for
the little ones. The days are ea
ohangeable--one day 'bright, the next
cold and stormy, that the mother is
afraid to take the children out for the
fresh air and exercise they need so
numb. Iu consequence they are often.
cooped up in overheated, oadly venti-
1ated rooms and are soon seized with
wide or grippe, What is needed to
keep the little ones well is Baby's Q.wn
Tablets. They will regulate the stom-
ach and bowels and drive out colds,
and by their use the baby will be able
to get over the winter season in per-
fect safety, The Tablets are sold by
medicine dealers or by snail at 25 eta

Gigantic A Armored Mammal
(Ill a)!
of Past Ages,
Surely the strangest mammal that
ever lived was the '•glyptcalo l," which
carried its house with it, being ea -
cased in a mighty shell somewhat re-
sembling that of a turtle but far more.
massive. The carapace, furthermaire,
was almost dome-shaped, and all parts
ot the creature's body, including even
the tail, were heavily arnn~ared.
This remarkable aminal seems to
have been exclusively American, and
until recently none of its fossil re-
mains has"been discovered north of
the Rio Grande, barring a few frag-
ments • of bones. A big one was dug
up recently, however, not far from
Tucson, Ariz., ,by Dr. Gidley, a palaeon-
tologist o? the United States National
Musenm. It is a complete skeleton,
representing .a specimen which -in life
must have weighed about half a ton.
The glyptcdon was so sluggish that
a mile a month must have been just
about its beet racing 'speed. It fed on
herbage, presumably, and .possessing
no weapon of defense, would have
beeneasy prey for oarnivarous ene-
mies if its aanior had not afforded ade-
quate protection. When. attacked it
had only to withdraw its head, which
was covered by a heavy bony sheath,
and to retract its legs., beneaththe
shell, in order to become invulnerable.
The a.seellant'might as well tackle a
boulder.
The specimen ftiuiiid"in`Ai•izbeee gob -
ably lived not leas than 1,000,000.y::ears
ago. Its tribe (oontemporary with the
megathurtnni or giant sloth) has no
descendants to°cbay, but is represented
in •a way by the ; modern arrndelte,
which is likewise an armored manan'ral
and one of the curio:sitiet of neure.
