 AT THE SERVICES
One of Several Well Known Speakers at the Armistice Day Cere- monies To-day

Danbury, Conn. Nov 11.--(UPD Wars are won in the end not by the commanders but by the hero. ism of minor officers and men in the ranks, Governor Wilbur L.. Cross said to-day at the dedication of a memorial to Danbury Vet erans of Four Wars.
 Governor Cross, Senators Hi- ram Bingham and Frederic c. Walcott and Congressman William L. Tierney were among notables present at the exercises, which followed a military parade.
 ''All the great wars in which our country has been engaged have been most honorable," said Governor Cross in reviewing wars since the Revolution. The Revo- lution was a war for civil rights. he said, the War of 1872 dis played our heroism on the sea, the War with Mexico fixed the boun- daries between the two countries, the Civil war preserved the Union, the War with Spain was "1n be- half of the people of Cuba who were being slaughtered or driven to the verge of starvation" and We. entered the World war "in order that modern civilization might not go down to destruction"

 Crowley was one of the hardy leaders of American business typi- cal in present day big business. He started at five dollars a month and worked through successive stages to head the big line which operates vast mileage in the east.
 Small of stature and slight of frame-he stands 5 feet 10 inches and weighs about 150 pounds Crowley is the typical dynamic rail- roader of fiction. Born of Irish American parents, Dennis and Helen Crowley at Cattauraugus, N. r., he started the railroading ca reer with the Erie December l, 1878 as a messenger boy. The work was hard and he practiced teleg- raphy. going into that branch of the service. Then he became a trainmaster and as he phrased 1t in his own words:
 Things were not going so well on the division so kind of doctor ed 1t up. and made the trains go."
 He came to New York in 1912 as general manager of the Central un- der A. H. Smith, then assuming the vice-presidency. During the war, Crowley Was made federal manager of the Central along with several other roads and then in 1924 he was made president.
 Nobody was more surprised than l." he said "you could have knocked me down with a feather, I was that surprised"
 Since then he has branched out. The ''P. F.. C." soon become known to every member of the railroad 's 100000 employees. The story is told or a conductor who wrote a letter asking for an interview with Crow icy.
 And when did you arrive at the notion 1t was necessary to write me a letter to get permission to see me about company business ?'' Crowley asked.
 He. was advised the general su- perintendent demanded letters ask ing for interviews. Thereupon Crowley issued a'generaf order say ing that any employe wanting an interview with the president should go through no more formality thar calling at the presidents office. It Is said his rather low voice could rise even above the screeci of engine whistles when "P. E. C. wanted something done.
 He has the reputation of never having smoked, chewed or swore
 Asked concerning the latter. he said:

ADVERTIsEME EMIT
Bad Stomach Cause
Of Bad Skin

You can't expect to have a good
clear fresh-looking complexion if your
stomach is weak and disordered.
Undigested food sends poisons
through your whole body, pimples
appear in your face, skin grows sallow
and muddy and loses its color. Your
tongue becomes coated, breath most
unpleasant. But these troubles will
end quickly and skin clear up if you
will start today taking that simple
herbal compound known to druggists
as Tanlac.
Tanlac contains nothing but herbs,
barks and roots which have a cleans
ing, healing effect on a poor upset
stomach. Just a tablespoonful before
each meal stimulates the digestion
naturally 90 that you can eat what
you want without fear Of distress.
And when your stomach is in good
shape again see how much keener
your appetite is-watch how quickly
skin begins to grow free of dis6guring
eruptions. The cost of Tanlac is less
than &C dose. Get a bottle from your
druggist today. Money back if it
doesn't help you.

Serve it in an attractive cup,
put a small spoonful of whipped
cream on top, and sprinkle a
little parsley or paprika over it..
See how much more readily it
will be eaten this way than if

Custards-They are very nour-
ishing. Serve them with a sauce,
or with a spoonful or two Of
crushed fresh fruit.
Fresh vegetables - They are
also necessary in the invalid's
diet. Creamed vegetables are
good, as are also vegetable souf-
files, fruit puddings made Of milk
or cream sauce and fruits, etc.
Orange eggnog-Beat one egg,
yolk and white separately. Add
gradually to the beaten yolk the
Juice of one orange and a heap

Then add the beaten white, put

cold milk.
Apple snow-Stew fresh apples
with a little hot water Until
tender and mash through a
strainer, then cool and into a
cupful of the sauce fold the
stiffly beaten white Of one egg
and sugar enough to sweeten.
Serve in a sherbet glass with a
custard sauce made from the
yclk of the egg, one-half cup
milk, sugar and sweeten to taste.
Salads-FreSh green vegetables
and good fresh fruits served in
salads contain plenty of mineral
salts and vitamins for the in
valid. Mayonnaise is apt to be
a little too heavy for the invalid
so substitute instead a simple

Getting Back to Health

Getting back to health after
illness is often just a matter OF
giving the body the proper repair
materials. Tissues that have been
wasted by disease or illness must
be rebuilt, and new energy deVel-
oped to enable the patient to re-
sumo a normal existence. For
that reason the foods provided
must furnish the maximum
amount of nourishment with a
minimum of tax upon the diges-
tive system. They must also be
attractive in appearance and
tempting in taste. for often the
invalid's appetite is capricious and
rebels at foods that might please
in normal health. There is moth
ing better to include in the in
valid's diet list than milk, and
Fairfax Farm Dairy milk is one
of the best.
Milk dishes contain the neces-
sary elements for repair and en-
ergy, and they can be served in
so many ways. At the same time
milk dishes are so much easier to
digest than many other foods.
Remember, always. that variety is
big factor in stimulating appe-
tite. and never at any time serve
so large a quantity. as to create
a distaste for that particular dish.
Far better to leave the invalids
wishing they had a little more
than to have them try to finish
a serving that has been more than
their appetite calls for. If there
is illness in your home, or someone
with an especially delicate diges-
ton to be catered to, try these
ways of using milk:
Cook cereals in Fairfax Farms
Dairy milk.-Any of the ordinary
cereals can be prepared this way.
They have quite different
flavor and small quantity
furnishes a lot of nourishment.
Plain boiled rice.-Just a heap
ing teaspoon of it folded into
