Connecticut Suffrage News.

The Ten Weeks Campaign of the Connecticut suffragists is now in its second week, and the compaigners are busy with the task of converting Rock vile. Probably Rockville will not need much converting for no city in the State of Connecticut, except perhaps Waterbury, has shown greater eagerness to hear what the Suffragists have to say than Rockville. The Rockville people show much enthusiasm over the question of Votes for Women, and the campaign CTS were not surprised when they reach ed the city, to get warm welcome.
 The campaign party, which had its experience in Wallingford last week is quite large. Besides SIX regular workers who go to all the ten cities to be com. prised in the campaign, members of leagues in towns and cities within reach join the party at every available point. In Rockville a number of Hartford women are with the campaigners, in- cludi9g Mrs. M. Toscan Bennett, vice president of the Hartford Equal Franchise League, and Miss Mabel Washburn. In Wallingford the New Haven Leagues sent contingents, and Mrs. Gesell, wife of Professor Gesell of Yale, Dr. Dorothea Moore, and Mrs. Carlos F. Stoddard were prominent in the work .--
 The regular campaign party is headed by Miss Emily Pierson, State Organizer of the Connecticut Woman Suffrage As sociation, who has generalled all the suffrage campaigns which have been conducted by the Connecticut Woman Suffrage Association during the last two years. Along with Miss Pierson there are two other Connecticut women, Miss Else Hill, daughter of Ex-Repre- sentative Hill of Norwalk, and Miss Alyse 'Gergory, also of Norwalk. Miss Hill has been very active in suffrage work for the last two years. but as she part of the time. Connecticut has not been able to profit from her assistance. Miss Gregory, who has spent much time in England, imbibed some of her suf- frage enthuiasm from her observation of the self-sacrifice and, devotion of the Englishwomen who are fighting for political liberty.
 The other workers are Miss Anne Forsyth of Chicago and New York, who is already well-known ill this State as she was with Miss Pierson during the whole of the Trolley Campaign which lasted from January 24 to March 28, of last year, and she again came to Con- necticut for the July Campaign in New London County. Mrs. Dora Horine is also of Chicago where she has been as- soc1ated with Miss Jane Addams in Hull House work, and Miss Grace Allen the last of the regular campaign party is Cleveland girl who has recently grad uated from Wellesley.
 The next town to be visited after Rockville is Putnam, and while the | are there, Danielson will also be reached and work done there on behalf of suffrage. After Putnam come Williamantic, Bristol, Derby, Nauga- tuck, Torrington and Winsted.

Slow COOKING Best.

In these days of quick living. it is
veil TO remember that, in cooking,
only slow and even tedious process
can bring about the best results. for
gradually cooked food is at once more
ra,n.able and dieestible than the rap
i:,iT cooked kind.
ys cannot be too often impressed
upon cook that slow methods soften
the connective tissue OF meats, de-
velop their favors, and render their
consistency more agreeable.
Milk that is baked for long hours in
slow oven is OF high nutritive
value. and all milk puddings, more
especially barley pudding. that are 10
be served at luncheon should be pre-
pared for cooking directly after the
breakfast cookery pans have been
cleared away.
