TOTHOSE WHO DIED
Connecticut Town Has Memorial
for All Time.
Plot Of Ground, Well Called "Tract Of
Glory" viii Be Henceforth the
Most Cherished Spot in
Norfolk.

In the little Connecticut town Of |
Norfolk is a triangular piece of ground |
belonging to the people. For years 1t |
stood useless, almost abandoned, and |
to a certain extent unnoticed. Nor
folk sent to France early in 1918 |
score and a half of her boys to fight |
in the American armies. Other boys
followed
A few months after the first con-
tingent marched away Norfolk began
to receive its share of tidings from
the front. Names of boys known to
every one in the town were found In
the lists of those KILLED in action"
Boys whose faces were bright and
shining and whose voices were strong
and CHEEKY were never to return.
They were lying in the fields of
France.
The return of these names to Nor
folk instead of flesh and blood that
went away gave Norfolk its inspira-
ton. The little green triangle became
tract of glory. No more will it be
looked upon as a waste, no more will
the people of Norfolk call it worth
less. For some one thought of way
to make it rich, the most cherished
spot in Norfolk.
On Flag day in the year that the
war made heroes of these lads from
Norfolk the people of that place dedi-
Gated the point of this triangle to the
memory of those who were not to come
back from France. AT that time four
of NOrfolks boys were lying in France
under little crosses Of wood, and on
this day four little crosses of wood
similar to those In France, with
name and date on each, were driven
into the ground at the point of the
triangle. There they will stay until
they are perhaps replaced by more en-
during and impressive marks of trib-
ute.
But the little crosses of wood are
not all that the people of Norfolk
placed in the village triangle in MEM
DRY of the boys who will not come
back. Something that will live and
th;ive and beautify the barren triangle
was placed there for each boy, and it
Is named for him. For each hero
tree was planted, and 1t will always
be known as bis tree, by his name
and long after the great-grandchildren
of those who now live in Norfolk are
dead and gone these trees will still
stand and will be known through all
the sunshine and storm of the ages by
the names they received at the chris
tening. They will grow to be tall and
mighty and spread their branches over
the cross that was won on the battle
fields of France-the simple cross of
honor that every man wins when he
gives up his life for his country.
The thought is beautiful That lit
tie triangle in Norfolk will have more
trees and crosses; the boys who died
In France will live and grow to an age
far beyond the years of the oldest of
men. How simple this way of com
memorating the deeds and the spirit
of the boys who go forth to the war
never to come home againl A little
cross of wood for the present, a tower
Ing tree for the future, and the name
of hero preserved for an age to come.

Honey.

Honey is the best substitute for
sugar that has yet been found. In
deed. 1t is more than a substitute. 1t
is real food. Few people, unfortu-
nately, know how to keep honey. All
too often 1t is stored in an Ice chest
or cold cellar. Under such cOndi-
tons 1t Is almost certain to solidify
or turn into candy. The best place to
keep honey is on the top shelf in
warm cupboard. If you find that 1t
has hardened set the container in q
pan of hot water until the contents
liquefy again. There is little adultera-
tion of honey these days, for adulter-
ated honey is easy to detect. You can
buy it and eat it without fear.

that 1t normally depresses the receiver
