Gray| pocketed the automatic, slipped in| debind the steering wheel, and drove) away into the night, followed by} loud and earnest objurgations. | He was still smiling cheerfully] when, a mile farther on, he brought} the car to @ stop and clambered} out. Passing. forward into tho illu mination of the headlights, he busied| himself there for several moments before resuming his journey. For the first time in a long while Calvin Gray was thoroughly enjoy- ing himself. Here was an enterprise with all the possibilities of a first- class adventure, and of the sort, moreover, that he was peculiarly qualified to cope with. It possessed ough hazard to lend it the requt- site zest, it was sufficiently unusual to awaken his keenest Interest; he experienced an agreeable exaltation of spirit, but no misgivings what- ever to the outcome, for he held thé commanding cards. Little re the flaming red mouth of some boiler at him, or the foliage was too, ‘a belated truck ‘thundered past, but the traffic was pretty thin. “At last, however, he beheld some distance ahead the white glare of two stationary lights. The road was narrow and sandy here, and shut in by banks of underbrush; as he drew nearer a figure stepped out and stood in silhouette until his own lights picked it up. The fig- | ure waved its arms, and called at- tention to the car behind—evidently broken down. Here, then, the drama | Was to be played.

He was born about five years ago in Goodman, near Anderson, Mo., where his father, Benja- min F. Crabtree, M.D., has been practicing medicine for many years. _ The first “flu” epidemic left Dt. Crabtree with Royal, then three months old, and a fear-stricken community to take care of. “The only recourse was for me individually to care for him (the baby), which I did . . . feeding him and taking him with me on all my - visits regardless of weather,” he writes. “I placed him on Eagle Brand and nothing else for six months.” He continues, ~ rao “Now you may wonder how we managed to travel in the every day practice of our pro- fession. Around town we usually went by horse and buggy, but long distance trips . and night calls we made in a car the better to provide warmth and bedding for the baby.” “Sometimes in close calls Baby would climb upon my back and we would go in that manner.” Ever since Royal was a very young baby, he had been sharing his father’s active life. For example, three years ago, on Christmas night, Dr. Crabtree was called to an accident. It was a case of life and death—but Royal, has- tily wrapped in a blanket, went along. Often he and his father drove a hundred long miles in a day across the windy prairies. Now that Royal is a big boy, he is able to look out for himself to some extent. companies his father on his trips. And he still takes Eagle Brand. Though he quit his bottle when he was nine months old, Doctor Crabtree continued to give him Eagle Brand as a bever- age. The same qualities in Eagle Brand which , made him a healthy baby, have kept him strong and well all through childhood. He has never been ill at all, or taken any medicine or ontens EAGLE BRAND: But he still ac- * had any trouble with teething. “I have no re- membrance when he cut his first or last tooth,” says Doctor Crabtree. “T certainly think I started him right on Eagle Brand.” This story is published here with the consent of Doctor Crabtree himself, who frankly said he considered it an “‘injustice to American babies” to withhold it. s . “We are advertising your milk every day,” he writes. ‘He (Royal) is a living, moving ad and I prescribe.” 2 ‘* * Eagle Brand Condensed Milk is the normal food for baby when for any reason mother’s milk fails; If you cannot nurse your child—if you must resort to artificial feeding—Eagle Brand is _ the safe way. X ; Many doctors recommend Eagle Brand in just such emergencies as this one; in difficult feed- ing cases when other foods have failed; when mothers are obliged to travel with young children; or when a family lives far from the ordinary conveniences of life. Eagle Brand is exceedingly digestible. Eagle Brand is perfectly uniform. It can be carried about safely and bought anywhere, so that you need not run the risk of changing the baby’s milk. Eagle Brand will not sour so easily either. In fact, it keeps indefinitely in the unopened cans, Eagle Brand is just pure milk and pure sugar combined in the special Borden way, put up in sealed cans which keep it absolutely pure. It has saved the lives of thousands of babies ac- cording to their own mothers’ testimony. Authoritative, valuable advice for young mothers is contained in our new little volume, Baby’s Welfare.
