Letters From the People
Women School Voters.
Editnr nf The News:

To the Editor of The News:
 Kindly permit space in The News for few quotations from the addresses of men, recently given in Connecticut towns to women on the school vote question.
 "Who is more interested than the mothers of our high school children, their older sisters and relatives Ger tainly no man." "Why do not more women take advantage of the right they already have? The work of men who are fighting for women would be made much easier if the ladies of Con- necticut would turn out few hundred in number and register to vote in school meeting. The license question may be decided in the legislature next winter by the way women use the right of franchise they already have. :" Tn all parts of Connecticut the women are awakening to the fact that they have been neglecting a suffrage duty be- cause it did not go far enough. There are ladies in Connecticut that say women should not be given suffrage rights (of any kind, it seems, )but these Sdul6 laul0S, OTSdulZo poAl1lSoL OhuoS Oo work against woman suffrage. It looks to me as if they were already in poli tics.'' "I cannot add anything to my appeal further than say duty demands every woman in Plainfield to turn out and be prepared to erect proper school buildings, fit them as the great and growing demand requires, and put the best men q prefer women) on the school board" 4... ......
 Now what these men have sad to women in other towns applies as we'll to Canaan. To be sure we are proud to say our old town has goodly mum. Der of it's best and most representative women. who are now school voters. There are 20 left over from the school voting agitation of 1919 who registered but afterward were not made voters. Most of them have said they would be made this year. The new list of names is growing rapidly, thanks tn the work of the committee. Due notice will be given, by the registrar of voters, of the day set for registration sometime in September. XXX.

Had Rabie S.

Jeffery o. Phepls, IT,, commissioner on domestic animals, received word from Ira D. Joel of the laboratory of the state board of health at Middle
 town to the effect that an analysis of the head of dog recently killed by the authorities in Hampden, showed that the animal had had rabies. The commissioner also received information Thursday that there had been twelve dogs bitten by the dog and he expected to receive a request from the selectmen of the town asking that dogs in the town either be quarantined or muzzled.

East Canaan is now "Allyndale, " according to the signs on the railroad station. However, there are ominous rumblings of dissatisfaction and rebel lion among the d.time residents, who maintain that East Canaan cannot be made Allyndale by sticking up sign on the depot, and there is likely to be a merry row over the change. In the meantime the railroad people invite the townspeople to keep the change.

THE scHooLHoUsE BILL.

Congressman Oakey's report on the community forum" bill, which he succeeded in getting out of the com. mittee on the District of Columbia, some days ago, after conference with Miss Margaret Wilson, the Presidents daughter, explains the purpose of the bill, as follows:
 "The purpose of the bill is to provide for the proper and con. sistent use of the schoolhouse as community center to all commun. ities which desire to take advan- tage of it. Its primary object is public education through the open representation and orderly free discussion of public questions. It proves that the men and women of each neighborhood shall decide for themselves whether their school house shall be open as neighbor- hood meeting place for themselves and a center of wholesome re- creation for their young people and gives the men and women of each neighborhood the right to determine their OVID time of meet. ing"
 The bill has received distinguished endorsement, and with the support o+ the distinguished president of the Bald Head Club of America and the united backing ot that organization, it would seem that nothing can prevent it iron becoming a law.

A DAILY PRAYER.
BY EMMA RoDEMEYER WATT.

Dear Lord, grant us the needed grace To meet life's every day, The trials and perplexities
 That fall across our way. Bestow the courage to press on,
 The patience to keep sweet When hope that lured us gently on,
 Is baffled by defeat. Hold us so closely by the hand
 False steps we may not make; Gather us safely Home at last,
 We ask for Thy dear sake.

Y. M. c. A. Work Among Soldiers.

The Young Mems Christian Associa- tion of this state is to begin at once active work among the Connecticut soldiers who are doing patrol duty. A number of secretaries will be sent into the field to look after the details, and the financing will be done on the voluntary plan, the state executive committee working in this respect through local members of the commit. tee in obtaining funds. Money and other material assistance already has been promised.
 The announcement made few days ago follows: @.le
 "A meeting of the Connecticut state executive com nittee of the Young Mems Christian Association has just been held at Hotel Taft, to consider the question of sending secretaries to work among the Connecticut troops on the border.
 "This action was taken at the earnest solicitation of the army and navy de. partment of the international commit tee, which reported the conditions there and the absolute necessity of 1OI Ull0 hCdlGlls COnl- fort and general welfare of the Con- necticut boys. Relief work has been successfully carried on by the inUerna- tional committee during the Spanish war and in the Canal Zone, and this ensures efficient and judicious use of funds.
 "Already member of the state com. mittee, MT. H. W. Scovil, of Water town, has furnished the funds for one of the buildings. but others are impera- lively needed, and money is also re quired for equipment and for employ. ing trained secretaries to carry on the work. The state committee voted to attempt to raise the necessary funds, and S200 was announced at the meet ing as pledged by three members of the executive committee.
 "A general appeal is now being made to other states, many of which have already organized and have their secretaries in the field. Connecticut cannot afford to do less.
 "Members of the executive commit. tee throughout the state are authorized to receive funds for this purpose.
 MT. l.. T. Snow, of 136 Sherman Ave, New Haven, Ca former Norfolk man, is treasurer of the State Execu- tive Committee of the Young Mems Christian Association, and is authorized to receive contributions from residents of this town and vicinity.
 All with relatives or friends at the front will have vital interest iu this matter and no doubt will contribute to the extent of their ability. These con- tributions will be used to the best ad- vantage for the benefit of the Connecti- cut boys doing duty on the border.

ish girl had destroyed the illusions OF
a very kindly and simple heart Some
thing lost its pristine brightness in
the old lady's mind-and something
vanished that she would never re-

The woman who. retails scandal

questions, and, though they are sim

And if she can answer all three in
the affirmative, her remarks will be
very simple, very harmless and free

WINTER DIET.

Winter fare offers wide range of
choice in foods. There is the nourish-
ing game, the savory goose and duck,
and the delicate turkey-all within
reach of people OF moderate means.
Pork, too, so rich and appetizing, is a
prime dish, and sucking pig is a
Wand fit for a king.
Thick soups are very seasonable
just now, and are much in favor with
young and old alike. For those whose
duties or pleasures keep them out of
doors a good deal of the time, a bowl
of soup for luncheon is very sustain
ing.
In addition to soups, cereals-such
as oatmeal, hominy and cornstarch-
make a valuable addition to break
fast or supper fare, especially for PEG
pie who have not much vitality A
bowl of hot porridge helps one to re-
sist the cold. 1t is almost as practical
a defense against it as suit of warm
clothing.
Vegetables are good heat-producing
foods. Dried peas and beans are espe-
cially valuable, which accounts for
the fact that they are supplied to sol
diers and sailors. Haricot beans can
be made into a tasty dish either with
butter or pork. Boston baked beans
are deservedly popular, and prepared
