Southern Mothers Have Found a
Way to Treat Children's Group and
Colds Without Internal Dosing

ALL mothers everywhere know that chill
n dren's stomachs are delicate and their di-
gestions easily disturbed, and therefore they
should be given as little internal dosing as
possible. Yet Group and colds come often and
certainly cannot be neglected.

A North Carolina Druggist Solves
the Problem
Thanks to Lunsford Richardson, a
druggist in Greensboro, N. c., this
problem has been solved, and Southern
mothers have been given a method of
treating cold troubles externally. Mr..
Richardson discovered q salve that
would vaporize by the body heat when
applied over throat and chest. These
vapors, inhaled with each breath, car
ried the medication through the air pas
sages to the lungs, at the same time the
salve was absorbed thru and stimulated
the skin, attracting the blood to the sur
face and thus aiding the vapors inhaled
to relieve the trouble. This prepara-
ton Mr.. Richardson called Vick's
VapoRub.
Vicks contains no harmful drugs,
just the old fashioned, time tested
remedies-Menthol, Camphor, Thymol,
Eucalyptus, Turpentine, etc. - COM

What S in a Name?
BY Mildred Marshall.
KATHERINE.

KATHERINE.
Like Mary, the charming name of
Katherine has an almost ilIimitabIe
history. and its derivations and
contractions are endless. 1t signi-
fies pure, since it was first borne by
a maiden martyr, whose name was
chosen as the center of an allegory
of intellectual religion. Katherine
in Greek became Catharina in the
Latin tongue. Going further back,
can be found this martyred Kath-
crime. a virgin martyr of Alex
'andria. whose history is unknown.
Some historians credit her with be-
ing the daughter of a King of
Egypt, but this contention cannot
be substantiated. However it is,
Katherine's purity and sanctity are
unmistakable.
The crusaders brought home the
story of katherine's martyrdom and
her name spread in fame through
out the West. The Italians had a
Santa Caterina, of Sienna, whose in
fuence was potent during the Mid
die Ages, thus adding another link
to the chain of sanctity which sur
rounds the name of Katherine.
Another famous Katherine was
the Countess of Salisbury, heroine
of the Garter. John of Gaunt had
a daughter, who, as Queen of Cas-
tile, made Caterina a favorite in
Spain, whence it was returned to
England with Katherine of Aragon.
Catherine de Valois, Queen Of Henry
V, brought it to France. Several of
the queens of the much-married
Henry VIII bore the name of Cath
crime.
The ''k" in Katherine is the Teu-
tonic rendition. and the shrewish
Katherine of Germany, as we'll as
the far-famed Russian empress are
examples of the bad repute of that
spelling. but the faithful Spanish
Catalina, as English queen, wrote
herself Katherine and so redeemed
the name, while the "Shrew" was
really Caterina and the Russian EN-.
press was sometimes called Ekate-
rina.

derivatives of Katherine will be

IN DIABETES GIVE

No sugars and few starches. The
popularity of the disease makes i'm
possible the assimilation of sugar,
and starch is converted to sugar in
the body, so that, too, is tabooed.
Fats. the other source of heat and
energy, are given If the patient can
digest them. The following diet
gives variety for the diabetic pa
tient:
Soups and broths not thickened
with starches.
Fish, eggs, meat, including ham
and bacon, poultry; no liver and all
kinds of nuts except peanuts.
Leafy vegetables-string beans,
spinach, kale. lettuce, cucumbers,
onions, tomatoes, radishes, mush-
rooms, asparagus, pickles and olives.
Gluten and bran bread in small
amounts. Almond cakes, custards
and jellies made with saccharine in
stead of sugar.
Diabetes is almost the only dis
ease in which fruit is not given and
some physicians are beginning to
believe that the fruit sugars are
comparatively harmless.
williamson's diabetic milk Is a
very pleasant drink and is prepared
as follows:
Cream one-half cup, water two
cups, whites of two eggs. salt one
fourth teaspoonfuf. saccharine twen-
ty grains. Combine cream and wa
ter. let stand two hours and skim
top. This Is washed, cream and
contains no sugar. Add salt, sac
charine and whites of eggs slightly
beaten to the SKINNED cream.

Now the rabbit gentleman didn't

to teach Johnnie a little lesson. So

Johnnie, after a while.
What makes you think So"
asked Uncle Wiggily.
"oh. because yesterday he brought
her some butternut meats he said
he had picked out for her" went on
Johnnie.

But mothers are go jealous of

never give them a chance to learn

only by doing things with ones

Naturally every mother desires
that her daughters marriage shall

like the old fairy tale, in And so
they were married and lived happily
over afterward," instead of ending
in the divorce court.
This being true, the greatest mar
vel on earth is, that the average
mother does absolutely nothing to
fit her daughter for the business If
wifehood. She teaches her nothing,
either theoretically or practically,
that she will need to know when
she is married and has a husband
and a home to manage. She sends
her out to tackle the most diffic lit, ,
and the most complicated job on
earth. without having given her a
single direction about how to wen
begin her gigantic task.
Yet every married woman knows,
from her own experience, that the
basis of a happy married life is
bound to be laid on the solid foun-
dation of a comfortable, well or
dered and we'll run home. There
is no romance that will survive sog-
gy bread and watery potatoes. over
done or underdone meat. There Is
no sunshine in a house where the
wife has always got up the rainy
weather flag of tears over the pies
she has burnt. No man can look
