APPEAL TO WOMEN TO
 PRESERVE FOOD
Chairman Pelton Receives Publicity Literature Urging Fair Sex
 to Do Their Bit.

Chairman E.. W. Pelton of the com- m1ttee of the Chamber of Commerce on food canning and preservation is in receipt of several circular letters pamphlets and Autographs from the food committee of the State Council Of Defense urging that the young girls of this city enlist at once in the army for the preservation of foods during the coming winter. The ap- peal pictures the assistance that can be rendered to the government through saving of foodstuffs. Pledge cards for enrolment in this work may be secured by writing to Miss Estella Sprague. Connecticut Agricultural College, Storrs. A valuable pamphlet also obtainable at the Storrs institu tton, shows the proper manner for the use and conservation of peaches, as well as numerous recipes for dainty dishes.
 Posters calling attention to spartng younger fowl for that of older ones are also at the chamber rooms. The top of the poster depicts an old man In the act of chasing 8 "broiler" with axe in hand, while the lower shows the careful housewife feeding this kind. Increase in fowl of all kinds is another branch of food conserva- tion that will play an important part. In all of the appeals for assistance to the food committee, it is shown that it Is absolutely a necessity that careful attention be given the matter if the war is to be won
