 EARLY CHRISTMAS SHOPPING.

The Connecticut Consumers league has sent out the following notice:
 The Home Office of the English government issued an appeal to shop pers a few months ago to shop early, not to expect immediate service, to carry home small parcels, and in sending forth orders to set forth their wants clearly in writing. This is done, of course. to reduce to a min imum the number of men required in the service of the stores. --
 The London Telegraph which prints an article on the subject, re- counts with pride the response of the has initiated a new and helpful movement. Fewer parcels have been delivered in London than in any similar period for years past, and in other cities and towns a new pa triotic movement has begun. The pub- lie is becoming methodical and patient and is cheerfully submitting to incon- venience.
 The Cor%Imers League can not appeal to the patriotism ot Connecti- cut women in quite the same way in asking them to do their Christmas shopping early, yet there lies behind it's appeal the best and truest kind of patriotism. the desire that ouI young people maintain their health and vigor for the years to come, thai our working children should not be taxed beyond their years, that the wage earning mothers should not bt overcome by the strain of the usua holiday season. Do your Christmal shopping early.
