GRANGE IN CANNING
 CLUB WORKING DAYS.
Members Find Fresh Vegetables Are Not in Market Monday Mornings.

The Community Canning club has decided to change its working days. Monday is not a good day for canning, as the fresh vegetables are not in market on Monday mornings. So the rooms will be closed on Monday In- stead of Monday, they will be open>on Saturday morning. Another change will be made in the working hours. morning to o'clock in the afternoon ot to as formerly. Work may be brought from to II in the morning. That brought so late as II should be thoroughly prepared for bianching. The club is now prepared for any kind of work and no orders will be
 turned down or refused at the rooms. The first eight days tryout Of the sys- tenn has been most satisfactory and in
 creased facilities have been added, so
 that now the club is able to promise
 the community much better service
 than before.
 Native peaches are ripening and one
 West Side woman has already canned
 10 quarts from her own trees. The late crop is not going to be so plenti- ful, and those wanting peaches this winter will do well to put up the early
 ones. We note that in New Britain the home gardens are reducing the de- mand for vegetables to such a degree that string beans are being offered at 10 cents a bushel. Norwich has evil dently not so many home gardens and S1.50 has been the price here, although Connecticut is quoted by Secretary Houston one of the A states where an enormous surplus of fruits and vegetables are threatened with loss. He goes to to say that this problem must be solved locally and that no federal or state organization can do it without momen's aid. He urges the women of the country to respond inn mediately to President Wilson's appeal to save products. The canning club intends to do so and any farmer who is not canning his own surplus will find a market for his produce at the club rooms in sthe Broadway school, early Tuesday. Wednesday, Thursday Friday or Saturday morning. or by :flephoning Miss Elizabeth B. Hunt ington the night before.

Care should be taken to strain the juice through a fine cloth so no lemon pulp gets in, then this lotion will keep fresh for months. Every woman knows that lemon juice Is used to bleach and remove such blemishes as sallowness, freckles and tan and is the ideal skin softener. smoothener and beautif1er.
 Just try it! Get three ounces of orchard white at any pharmacy and two lemons from the grocer and make up a quarter pint of this sweetly fragrant lemon lotion and massage it daily into the face, neck, arms and hands. It naturally should help to soften. freshen. bleach and bring out the roses and beauty of any skin It is wonderful to smoother rough, red hands

 of Land by the Navy.

 The purchase of the plant means the permanent abolition of the Shay rem dering works and the enlargement of the naval base which latter fact has already been assured should the Shay concern vacate the premises, which are considered unhealthful to the sailors at the base beca use of the nausea ting stench that frequently psrmeates the air and the carrying Of the fumes to the naval reSerVa tiOn.

Many Artists ScuIptors and Archi-
 tec:s Have Enlisted.

The war department is proceeding wiEh the organization of the Camou- flage corps. which is going into camp at Camp Columbia. Litchfeld.

 Camoufiage is word taken from the 'argot' of the Parisian artist. It is their slang word for faking and since the war began in Europe it is q general term used for the branch of the service which has to do with con- cealing things from the observation of the enemy's aviators and officers tel escapes, by painting canvas ana a hundred other devices utilized for de- Ceiving the enemy.
 For instance, the Camouf1age corps in France does such work as stretch ing canvass over the big guns and painting it so as fo make it appear like a. plain wheat field to the avia- tors, and then paint a big gun on a canvas some miles away to draw the enemy's fire to a useless point.
