ST. JULIA

St. Julia was noble virgin of Carthage, who, when the city was taken by Genserio in 439, was sold for a slave to a pagan merchant of Syria, named Eusebius. She accepted the 1abors imposed upon her cheerfully, and devoted all her spare time to prayer, Her master came to value her highly, and carried her with him on one of his voyages. Having reached northern Corsica, he cast anchor, and went ashore to Join the pagans of the place in some idolatrous festival. Julia was left some distance from the gathering. Felix, governor of the is- land, beho1ding her, tried to induce her to join the festivities. But she stsadfast1y refused. He tried to buy her from her master, offering in ex- change four of his best slaves. But Eusebins refused to part with her. E,1gebius, however, drank too freely of the wine, and while he was over come by it Felix again attempted to induce Julia to worship his gods. When she refused he ordered her hanged to a cross and tortured until she expired, Certain monks of the isle of Gorgon carried off her body, and in 7ss her remains were removed to Breseia, Italy. where her memory is cs1ebrated with great devotion.

COAL LACKING, TOWN OF UNION
 IS USING WOOD

Hartford, Dec. 22-A hint to the rest of the state as to what to do in the face of the prevailing coal short age is contained in a unique letter from the town of Union, which is getting along without a pound lof coal and, instead of complaining, is using deadwood gathered in the near by woods The letter was received by the Connecticut State Council of Defense from H. R. Howard, chair man of the Union town committee of the Council, in reply to a request for information as to whether there was need of establishing a local coal committee in Union. The letter was in part as follows:
 There is no cause for worry In this town in regard to the fuel situa- tion, for not one pound of coal Is used here. When we want fuel we go out into the woods and pick up the dead wood. That saves cutting down trees, and the fuel is already dried I would suggest for future reference, in ease coal cannot be secured in the larger centers, that Union can fur nish 5000 cords of wood for Putnam and 25,o00 cords for Stafford Springs.

STOP HAVING FOOD ORGIES

Margaret De1and, the famous au- thor, has written an article for the January Woman's Home Companion in wich she says:
 We can give up certain kinds of food, namely. superfluities. This is so obvious and so easy that one hesi- tates to mention it. It is not hard for any intelligent woman q almost said any decent womanD to give up, just now-icing her cake! q use ic- ing as a generic term. I mean of course, that sort of thing.) I am re- minded here of something which hap pened at luncheon at which I was present, given to two English ladies. It was terrible luncheon Foodl FoodI Food! And there we were, plump, already over-fed women, eat in, eating, eatingI When 1t was over, and we rose heavily from the table, burdened with that sense of rep1etion which poor indolent middle-age knows so well, the two English ladies drift ed together into corner. Then, fin their calm, .clear, penetrating English voices, came:
 Dear Mary, it was a gorge.' D0e1T jdn6, 1t WdS d f601f1An 0TRyI
 Which brings me back to sacrifice which I maintain. is the easiest thina we have to do. We can give up the orgy.
 We are here in the world where there is not enough of certain kinds of food. Poor Mary's ejaculation re- turns to me: we are all 'toired av the worrd.' But bear with it while I just sum the situation up.) There is net enough of certain kinds of food fol everybody. Owing to the scarcity ei labor. there will probably very soof not be enough sugar to go round Where these staples are used as su perfluities-like white rour in tnt delicious little fancy breads, CT sugar. in after-dinner candy, or butter il elaborate desserts-it is, of course, a, easy as possible for right minded per sons to sacrifice them, Under the cir cumstances, the use of superfluitie means excess (Semebedy once sai( that the essence of vu1garity is inap propriateness,' and certainly nothing is more inappropriate, just now, thai excess!) But as for sacrifice, why, isn't sacrifice to refrain from crean

"CAMOUFLACE'' A NEW MINCE MEAT
 EATEN BY TROOP

Washington, Dec. 22-Meatless mince meat, another culinary triumph in the art of food conservation, has been brought to the housewives of the country by the national emer- gency garden commission as a worthy companion of pumpkinless pumpkin pie and gingerless ginger bread.
 The new mince meat, officially de- scribed as a "camoudage," was tried on 500 troops on transport, who pronounced it perfect and called for more.
 Half package of seeded raisins, half pound of prunes stewed with lemon juice and peel, one-quarter cup of sweet cider, four tablespoons brown sugar; chop the raisins and .prunes together and the result is said to be meatless mince pie that will accord with the food administrations meat less Tuesday.
 As turkey does not violate the meat less day, Christmas dinner may be complete.

First Woman Missionary.

The first woman to gain renoWn as missionary in foreign lands was Ann Hasseltine Judson, who was born iE Bradford, Mass, 128 years ago today. In 1912 she became the bride of Rev. Odoniram Judson, a Baptist missionary, and few days after, their wedding they embarked for Calcutta. From there they went to Rangoon, in the Burman empire, to begin their missionary labors among the natives. Their devotion aroused a missionary spirit among American Baptists, and in 114 the organization later called the Ameri- can Baptist Missionary Union was launched in Philadelphia, and imme- diately appointed MT. and Mrs. Jud- son it's first missionaries. Mrs. Jud- son mastered the native language be- fore her husband, and was his able assistant. It was not until 1919 that the first native convert was baptized, and the number reached ten the fol- lowing year. In 1922 Mrs. Judson visited the United States and pub 1ished her History of the Burman Mission" and by personal appeals largely increased missionary contri- buttons. In 1923 she returned to Rangoon. A war soon broke out, and both MT. and Mrs. Judson were imprisoned, charged with aiding the English. Mrs. Judson was soon re- leased, and she became an angel of mercy to the white men, including her husband, confined in the terrible death prison" They were at length rescued by the British but Mrs. Jud- son soon succumbed to the effects of the terrors to which she had been subjected.
