THE FOOD FOR FRANCE FUND.

Miss Oarita Spencer with headquar-

Foreign Delegate especially appointed
by Minister Justin GODDARD, under
Secretary of State in France, says that
lis an undeniable fact that. France
Is hungry, and with our own American
men fast arriving, we must rush sup
plies at once.
Mr.. Hoover states that his work is
only to conserve food in America, in
order that there shall be surplus to
send abroad.
The Red Cross and other Allied Re-
lief Committees interested in sending
food cannot do everything. The more
channels of collection in America the
better, the fewer channels of distribu-
tion aboard, the greater the efficiency,
has been the experience of war relief
workers.
Condensed milk is vitality needed for
the sick in the hospitals, 81, 500 will
buy five hundred cases and alleviate
the suffering of hundreds of American
and French soldiers. Every housewife
in America is economizlng, will she
not devote at least portion OF her
economy for the sick and wounded,
and let US send her bill the first of
each month, when she pays her house.
hold bills: and will she not give one,
or more, out Of every dozen jars of
fruits, vegetables, and jams, she cans
this summer, and send them to the
nearest grocers to be carefully packed
for foreign shipment, and he will hold
cases for shipping instructions? The
grocer will be doing more than "his
bit' for France. Farmers can each
give one out of every dozen bushels of
potatoes.
This Committee will employ the
most economical methods of purchase,
will buy the kind of food needed in
France at the time, and will ship
through the most direct channels to
get the food to the people who need it
in the shortest time.
They are hungry in France today
let us hurry. Can you help in any of
the above ways? Ask your friends to
subscribe for definite article of food
sugar, milk, flour, oils, dried beans,
potatoes etc.
Hurry, er we are too late.

ST. SWITHIN'S-RAIN

What. 40 days more of rain Why,
it's been raining for the past 40 or
more, hasn't It? Well, that's the dope,
for Sunday was St. Swithin's day, and
st. Swithin's day, you know, IS the
day that sets the weather for the rest
of the summer. Rain on ST. Swithin's
day, rain for 40 days to come. And it
certainly did rain Sunday, even after
the terrible deluge of Saturday night,
which fiattened many patch of tomato
and potato plants on farms and in gar.
deus. There was enough rain during
Sunday to characterize it as a rainy
day, so, you see. it means 40 more wet
days-perhaps.
The farmers and near farmers are
already hoping for some let up from the
present wet weather, which is threat.
ening much damage to the crops if it
continues much longer. Sunshine is
their great desire now, and they are
hoping, with many others, that this
will be one of the times when the
dope's awry.

NEW ELECTRICAL DEVICE.

One of the greatest advantages of
electric lighting has been control from,
distance, the placing of a switch or
button at the entrance to a room,
hall, or building thus permitting the
space to be illuminate before it is
entered. Such control switches are not
visible in the darkness and if often re.
quires search to locate the button
and obtain light. A new attachment
of insignificant size called the Radieye
containing quantity of glowing
radium may be attached to pull chain
or push button plate, allowing the
light control switch to be easily located
in the darkness, and obviating the
usual search for the lamp or push
button. The new attachment~<has the
advantage over its phosphorescent con-
tempories in that exposure to sunlight
during the day is unnecessary to insure
a lasting glow at night.

ing knowledge of feeding.
Third ! "One.man" farmers. Men

P: W.JOHNSON ADJUDGED BANK
RUPT.

Philemon w. Johnson, the town
clerk who mysteriously disappeared a
few months ago, was adjudged bank.
rupt by Judge Edwin S. Thomas in the
United States district court yesterday,
for failure to appear and file an answer
to an order of notice published in the
"Winsted Citizen. O. E. Hoadley of
New Haven. acting referee of the
county of Litchfield, was appointed
referee A creditors petition against
Johnson was filed on June 16 by the
Massachusetts Bonding & Insurance
Company, the Town of Norfolk, w. w.
Collar aud E. A. Lucier, who put in
claims amounting to about SIS, 200.
Since the filing of the petition, Ralph
o. Wells, attorney for the creditors,
has filed claims amounting to $24, 1884,.
IS.
The creditors in their action claim
that Johnson committed an act of
bankruptcy in preferring certain credi.
tors, notably the Norfolk Manufactur.
ing Company, which was allowed to
bring a suit of $40, 00U damages against
him and attach his property. The credi.
tors claimed that the action should be
settled through the bankruptcy court.
Other actions are pending against
Johnson's estate in the court of common
pleas and the superior courts of Itch
field county. The ruling of Judge
Thomas stops the trial suits and re.
leased the attachments on Johnson's
estate.
Johnson was regarded as a highly
respected citizen of Norfolk and held
several responsible offices in the town.
Several months ago he disappeared and
the opinion OF his friends was that he
had committed suicide in the Canaan
Mountains. A search of the mountains
did not reveal his body, and it is now
thought by some that he is still alive.
Some time after he disappeared, it was
learned that some of his accounts were
in error, and his estate was placed in
the hands of w. G. Manchester He
has been reported to have been in
many places but all efforts to locate
him have failed-Couranr.
