Children Cry
for It

Baby has little upsets at times. All
your care cannot prevent them. But you
can be prepared. Then you can do what
any experienced nurse would do-what
most physicians would tell you to do
give few drops of plain Castoria. No
sooner done than Baby is soothed; re-
lief is just a matter of moments. Yet
you have eased your child without use
of single doubtful drug; Castoria is
vegetable So it's safe to use as often
as an infant has any little pain you
cannot pat away. And it's always
ready for the crueler pangs of collie, or
constipation or diarrhea; effective, too,
for older children. Tloenty-fUe million

NS VI the american heVO-
sTS. luton, whose services
~ were of inestimable val
ue to the cause of liberty, man who
was one of George Washington's clos
est personal friends and to whose lot
it fell to close the dying eyes of the
Father of His Country.
This man was DR.. James Craik,
chief physician and surgeon of the
Continental army. After Doctor Craik's
death in 1914, he was buried in the
churchyard of the old Presbyterian
meeting house in Alexandria, Va.
With the passage of years the old
burying ground was neglected; weeds
covered it and finally all trace of Doc
tor Craiks grave was lost. Several
years ago movement was started os
locate the grave of this patriot and
erect suitable marker This was
done and small brass tablet was pro-
Vided by the Alexandria Chamber of
Commerce. Through an error. how
ever, this tablet was placed in the
wrong spot. .f'- I
But last year the project. was taken
up by the Presbyterian Meeting House
Restoration committee of Alexandria,
and as a result an imposing granite
monument, paid for by his descend
ants, was recently unveiled over Doc
tor Craik's grave.
Doctor Craik had had a distin-
guished career even before he became
chief medical officer for the patriot
army in the Revolution. What that
career was is shown by the following
sketch of his life, provided by the
restoration committee:
Upon the organization of the Vir-
ginia Provisional regiment in 1854,
Craik was appointed surgeon. The
command was at the same time ten
dered to Maj. George Washington who
modestly declined but accepted the
lieutenant cOlOnelcy, the command 60
ing to Col. Joshua Fry. The regiment
was not brought together until, upon
the death of Fry at Wills Creek,
Washington succeeded to the leader
ship and the headquarters Joined him
at Fort Necessity. Here was begun
that lifelong intimacy between Wash
ingtOn and Craik, so much treasured
by both.
Craik. as medical officer of his regi-
ment, was present at the battle of
Great Meadows in 1854 and rendered
surgical aid to the wounded in that
action. His service extended also
cyar tho nnriOd of the ill-fatad eyna-
dltiOn of BraddOck toward Fort Du-
Quesne. and he participated in the bat
tie of the MOnOngahela, where he
dressed the wounds of the commander

field. Here he witnessed the singu-
lar impunity which attended his youth

first as aide and later as commander
of the diSheartened remnants of the
British troops.
When, then. on August IA, 1855,
some six weeks after the operations
on the MOnOngahela. Washington was
appointed to the command of the Vir-
sinia provincial army and assigned to
the duty of protecting the Virginia
and Maryland frontier from the
French and Indians, Doctor Craik still
remained as his chief medical officer.

First you feel warm tingle as the
healing ointment penetrates the

Advice to LOvelO1n
BY Beatrice Fairfax

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
1 am seeking advice regarding
an engaged girl.
Has she a perfect right to keep
company with. any other young
men, after she has refused to see
her finaneee on nights that she
has made a date with him?
Should any fiancee let things
go on like this when he is good
enough to take her where she
wants to go?
Should engagements like this
be broken? Or should a man let
a girl lie to him? Is there any
chance in a case like this that
love would be true love?
l thank you for your advice.
A CONSTANT READER.
Are you asking these questions
for yourself, Constant Reader?
Or are you trying to regulate
someone else's engagement? Be
cause IL it is another girls en-
gagement that worries you, may
| suggest that you let her and
her fiancee work out their own
problem their own way? Winding
ones own business, my dear, is
a rare and beautiful trait.
In regard to your own engage
ment, you cannot go wrong IL
YOU are true to principles of hon.
esty and honor and follow the
Golden Rule.

There is only one time in the
year when l wish Margaret would
inform me she wanted to go some
where beside home to play" a
neighbor informed me yesterday,
land that's when we are cleaning
house. And" she added vehe-
mently. that's the one time when
nothing on earth can pry ner
away from the home fireside.
OF course, Margaret wants to
stay at home and see what Is go
ing on. A child is always inter
ested in home activities, especially
those which indicate a, change.
SO l told my ncighbor about an
other mother who had solved this
problem, by including her small
daughter in the spring cleaning
activities.
The second mother had dis.
covered that dolls had lost their
charm. the kiddies car stood i'm.
movable and neglected, while little
daughter trailed around back of
her and the woman who helped
her clean, and was fallen over
half a dozen times during the
course of morning. So the
mother sat down, took little
daughter on her lap and asked
her il she wouldn't like to clean
"HER' house. Now her house
was but one corner of the dining
room. but 1t held her doll bed,
cupboards, ironing board and toys.
The child's eyes sparkled. OF
course, she w0u.d. And it wasn't
play to her either. 1t was a sori.

silent heroes, it Is you, not them,
she is to marry, because she
loves you in practical, sensible
way, best of all?
1t is just possible that when
she realizes you do not resent her
prattle about the other admirers,
or grow the least bit jealous of
the movie stars, she may lose
interest in talking about them.
Some girls like to make a. man
jealous because they love him-a
foolish but not a malicious idea!
- OF course you might try the
plan of raving about the Greta
Carlos, Mary Pickfords. Marion
Davieses and Betty Bronsons
when she wakes sentimental about
the John Gilberts, William
Haineses and Douglas Fairbanks.
You might even boast a bit about
your own former sweethearts to
counteract her tales. But do
not seriously recommend that
plan. Instead of helping, it
might lead to heated arguments.
If you know you love her, and
know she loves you. then my
suggestion is, go ahead with the
marriage! And when she raves
about former beaux and movie
heroes, smile to think how lucky
you are because it is you, not
them, she married. I'm sure she
is wonderful girl-isn't she
now! Dragging is her one weak
ness. Possibly you have some
fault, also which she must over
look. Did that ever occur to you?
But love overlooks, forgives, for
gets!

stopped for breakfast in the course
of a motor trip.
The farmers wife heaped our
plates with most delicious griddle
cakes, maple syrup and sausage,
gave us coffee with thick cream,
corn muffins, fried potatoes, and
even added q piece of five-layer
cake for good measure. While we
ate she regaIed US with stories of
her former husbands. 1t seems
there were two before she married
the good d-humored, ruddy farmer,
who now listened with us to tales
of those marvellous former nege
lords and their adora tin of herself.
Her husband enjoyed his break
fast with a marvellous appetite.
He smiled and twinkled, at us, but
apparently paid not the. least at
tention to his Wife's prattle.
Probably he had heard it so often
that he was not conscious of what
she was saying, but merely felt
the soothing, pleasant voice of
the woman who was his good wife,

pretty good shape by now, the
mother asked the father to bring
home a can of red lacquer, and
the following day an old piece of
linoleum was placed on the back
porch. Winter months had been
pretty hard on small chairs, doll
beds and cupboards, so the little
miss put on what she and mother
called her working clothes" and
painted all the scratched toys.
Three days were spent in happy
and busy work of "doing what
mother did"-cleaning house and
freshening up her belongings.

that she had been happily busy,
but that she appreciated also

MAKING REAL
CARAMEL

The real caramel flavor IL to
be had only from caramelized
sugar, which, made into a sirup,
may be kept for months. For a
small quantity made from one
cupfuI of sugar a lightweight
pan may be used, but make sure
that it has smooth surface.
Put the sugar I'M pan over
a very low flame. and keep it
in constant motion as it warns
through evenly before beginning
to melt. Then continue the stir
ring until entirely melted, being
careful to keep the whole mass
in motion so that it does rot
cling to the pan and scorch.
Even with the greatest degree
of care, the sugar may still form
into large hard Jumps when 1t
begins to melt. DO not let this
trouble you. however, for they
will melt completely in a short
time il you will just continue
the stirring and make sure that
the flame is turned very low.
Gradually the melted sugar will
become a light brown, and as
soon as every grain has disap-
peared pour into the pan half
as much water as sugar used.
Either hot or cold will do. Should
the sugar harden in a sheet. it
will soon again dissolve.
Then boil the mixture down
quickly to a thin sirup, which
when cool will thicken to the
consistency of an ordinary sirup.
1t should then be stored in a
tightly covered jar and used as
it is needed to flavor sauces, ice
creams, custards, and so forth.
When used to flavor custards
the sirup may be stirred right
into the mixture or the GUS
tard baked on it. In the latter
case, to keep the caramel sirup
and custard from flowing to-
gether In the cup. pour in a
tablespoon of sirup. rest the
spoon over it, then slowly pour
the custard on to the spoon
rather than directly on to the
surface of the sirup.
Custards put together in this
way are baked in a pan of water
just as usual, at $50 degrees F.,
until set, but when cool and
turned out the caramel sirup
flows over them. forming a
delicious sauce.

She had not in any way inter.

sense of being necessary to the
home by being allowed to share
in its care.
Let your child share in this
work which seems to trail along,
in the wake of spring. A few
moments OF planning will save
many a futile: "Run away and

my dear, don't you think he could
manage to arrange an introduce
ton through the acqnaintances you
and he share in common, even
though they may not be particu-
larly friendly to YOU? But, since
he does not take the trouble to
seek an introduction to you, would
it be worth your while?
OF course, il you made a point
of asking for an Introduction to
