WHY THE RED
CROSS NEEDS YOU
Make Some Sacrifice for Stricken World Says Roosevelt

Colonel Roosevelt, in an appeal
for the support for the Red Cross
in his speech at the seml-centen-
NAL celebration at Lincoln, Neo-
raska, last week said:
The most important thing is to
send abroad at the earliest pos
sible moment a great fighting
army. Second only to the army
in the work of winning this war
comes our Red Cross. Indeed, the
Importance of this work is so
great that the President OF the
United States has set apart next
week-from June 1926 as a
period for sacrifice and unseltish
generosity-a week in which the
whole American people will be
asked to join in raising funds to
enable our Red Cross to perform
it's vast and indispensable duties
in this war.
The President has also commits
stoned several of the ablest bus
mess men of the country as a war
council of the Red Cross, to ad-
minister this service on behalf OF
stricken world. This war coun-
Gil tells us that fund of $780,
600 900 must be raised at once IN
order to meet even the most urgent
needs.
Here, indeed, is a summons to
every American. 1t is an enorm-
Gus sum of money; but what COM
fort can we take in withholding
that or any other sum of money II
il is needed to relieve the suffer-
ing of our own sons or the sons OF
our allies who are fighting for all
that makes life worth living?
Into our Red Cross without stint
should be poured a heartfelt offer
ing of thanksgiving that we are
permitted to join in this great SER
vice to all mankind. Our soldiers
and sailors will do their part with
out 1inching; we may rest assur-
ed OF CnelI COuI aye anu hNSAi'S
The Red Cross offers to us who
are not allowed to fight the oppor-
tunity for sacrifice and for help.
We little realize what is before
us, Our own sons and brothers
will soon be going into battle.
They will be 5000 miles from
home, in land already wasted by
war, land threatened by famine,
a land smitten by disease. They
tell us that in many cases today
the wounds of soldiers in France
must be tied up with newspapers
for want of the necessary surgical
bandages. When our own men are
wounded-as they surely will be
in great numbers-are we gong
to allow them to suffer yet more
because we fail to provide those
things which can at least mitigate
distress? Surely not! But We
must do it in advance. II we wall
it may be too late. Do it now!

SOME WAYS TO USE
COTTAGE CHEESE
Government Publishes Rec
ipes

Cottage cheese is richer in pro-
tein than most meats and is very
much cheaper. Every pound con-
tains more than 3 ounces OF por-
tein, the chief material for body
building. 1t is also valuable
source of energy, though not so
high as foods with more fat. 1t
follows that it's value in this re-
spect can be greatly increased by
serving it with cream, as is so
commonly done.
Cottage cheese alone is an ap-
petizing and nutritious dish. 1t
NAV also be served with sweet or
sour cream, and some pepole add
a little sugar, or chives, or chop
ped onion, or caraway seed.
The following recipes illustrate
a number of ways in which cottage
cheese may be served:
Cottage Cheese With Preserves
And Jellies.
Pour over cottage cheese any
fruit preserves, such as strawber-
ries, figs, or cherries. Serve with
bread or crackers. If preferred,
cottage-cheese balls may be served
separately and eaten with the
preserves. A very dainty dish
may be made by dropping bit of
Jelly into nest of the cottage
cheese.
Cottage-Cheese Salad
Mix thoroughly l pound of
cheese, ~ tablespoonful of
cream, 1 tablespoonful of chop
ped parsley, and salt. to taste.
First fill a rectangular tin mold
with cold water to chill and wet
the surface; line the bottom with
waxed paper; then pack in three
layers, putting two or three par
allel strips of pimento between
layers. Cover with waxed paper
and set in a cool place until ready
to serve; then run a knife around
the sides and invert the mold.
Cut in slices and serve on lettuce
leaves with Frerch dressing and

Fifty years ago the old bridge across the Shetucket river known as the fire had replaced it. Sound navigation was tied up owing to the great quan- titles of floating ice.
 Gleanings from the Bulletin files of '67 follow:
 Jan. 2S, 1S67.-By reference to the congressional report it will be seen that MT. Brandegee introduced reso- lution which passed, recommending that suggestion be made to the en- gineer department that the channel of the Thames near Norwich be dredged and maintained.
 During the past seven or eight months many long needed improve ments in the condition of the streets and sidewalks have been completed, and Alderman Cottrell, the chairman of the street committee has earned the gratitude of the good citizens by. the energy and promptness with which he has discharged his duties.
 Central Wharf Building Sold.
 Jan. 29, 1S67.-John Stanton has sold his brick building on the east end of Central wharf, occupied by Mo- Douglas fish market. The price was not far from $4,500.
 About 5-45 o'clock on Monday morn ing S. B. Powell in the employ of Amos King, agent of the King Woolen Co.,, discovered g bright light in the second story of the conrpany's mill, at
  ming rapidly to the mill he rang the bell, and then hurrying upstairs, open ed the door of the card room to find the entire floor in flames. Turning on when MT. Rowen ran downstairs, and with the watchman, who had been en- gagged the moment the fire broke out, gave a general alarm which brought all hands to the ground, in some five minutes.
 Navigation Tied Up.
 Jan 30, 1s67.-Sound navigation is very much obstructed by ice in near ly all the harbors and, rendered dan gerous on account of the great Iuan- either end of the Norwich route, and there was no boat on either the Fall River or Newport routes, Tuesday, and no steamboat trains to or from Sound has been so full of floating ice, and the East River is said to be most impossible.
 The Connecticut river was also frozen over so that the Shore Line Ferry boats find much difficulty in making the passage, which accounts for the delay in the arrival of the New York mails at this city
 A sensational story was circulated Tuesday to the effect that a promin- ent retail merchant lost from $500 to s2, 800 at gambling table in town on Monday night.

SPOKE ON HUMANE
 NATURE OF MAN.
Rev. L. C. Sherburne Was Speaker at
 Shop Talk Friday Noon.

The Humane Nature of Man was the subject of the shop talk delivered by Rev. l.. C. Sherburne at the Rich mond Radiator company under the au- spices of the Y H. C. A. Friday noon
 The speaker said in part: Some men seem to think that religion is not wor- thy of their attention, but this is mistake, for religion appeals to the noble and courageous instwincts in man, and Jesus Christ was the most manly man who ever lived. Men are divided into two closses, the saint and the sinner. The saint is not necessari- ly a man who is essentially different from other men, but is one who though he has the same passions as other men he has learned to control them. King David had human passions and he was far from perfect, but he was saintly man nevertheless.
 The great difference in men is the difference in control; men all have passions, but some men fail to control theirs. while other men by the power of God keep these passions under control. What we call salvation is the result of a cooperation between God and man; the human will linked with the divine
 God can use all kinds of men, and he calls men everywhere to disciple ship, and he thus pays us a high com pl1ment in that he has a place for us in the work of his kingdom.

He urged the boys to live also up to the principle of their society-freedoTn from blasphemy, clean speech, reg ular attendance at mass on Sundays and houy days of obligation and the frequency of receiving the sacraments, which is a, monthly obligation. If they would prove true to these obliga- tions the after effect in their lives would always be noticeable and they would always have occasion to re- member with much pleasure the day of their admission to the society s ranks.
