TRAINMEN SUSPENDED.

Engineer Joseph McGolderick of Bridgeport and Baggagemaster Thomas Johnson of West Stockbridge, em. ployed by the New York, New Haven & Hartford railroad, have been suspended from the service for an indefinite time as result of railroad accident. In West Stockbridge, Wednesday morning when an engine collided with the regular passenger train operated be- tween State Line and VanDeusenviIIe. It was rear-end collision.
 The train which was enroute from State Line to Van Deusenville had stopped at the Borden Milk factory about one quarter of mile above the West Stockbridge station for more freight. It is claimed that the engine, which was enroute from State Line to Bridgeport, had left it's station ahead of time which was the cause of the ac- cident. The coaches were badly dam. aged, while the front of the engine was practically demolished. The accident tied up transportation on the branch road all day Wednesday and part of Thursday. William Stanton was the conductor in charge of the passenger train.

THE DANGER AHEAD.

A New York city official, whose office has brought him into close touch with the local food problem, has ex. pressed the opinion thet the moment is near when the United States govern ment will have to control the food SUD- ply of the country. The great majority of our people have not dreamed that such a step would ever be necessary or even desirable; but they may now be warned that this development may not be far away. If the United States should go into the war, and the war should be prolonged another year, fed. eral control of the peoples food may become highly essential to the national security, exactly as it has been essen. tial in Great Britain and France as well as in Germany. Our government in an emergency, with the worlds food supplies diminishing each year, might easily be forced to regulate food exports, to supervise the domestic dis tribution of foodstuffs over the rail. roads and even to fix prices in order that the consumer might be protected from private greed.

THE I0NIAN SERENADERS
Closing Feature of Entertainment
 Course Highly Appreciated.

Friday night the Ionian Serenaders. quartet of ladies, presented the finat number in the Mission Circle entertain ment course, which has been running through the winter months.
 The full course consisted of a sketch artist and reader; a monologist iR "The Turmoil;" two Japanese enter tainers, and the ladies who appeared Friday night Each entertainment was distinct from the others and fur nished a pleasant variety.
 The Ionlan Serenaders were Miss Ger nand, a celloist; Miss Skeel, a singer: Miss Burress, violinist and Miss Meeker a reader. The various parts of the program were pleasingly presented and elicited heartily applause from ths audience. The laides proved theln- selves artists in their various roles, perhaps Miss Meeker made the biggess hit of the evening, with her delineation of negro characteristics and i'm .ersona- tions of life on the plantations.
 Miss Burress selections on the violin were greatly enjoyed, particularly Pryor's After Sunset"
 MI Alio provoked a favorable comment, qua judging from the expressions of approv- al, it was enjoyed by those who attend ed all the entertainments, as much as any of them.
 The introduction of the accordion. played by all the members of the quay tet, created much amusement as weH as hearty applause, for the music pro- duced on those instruments.
 The. managers of the entertainment course express themselves as we'll satis- fled with the results, both in the way of furnishing entertainment for tho winter and the financial results as well. It is their plan to arrange for another series to be given some time next fall and winter. The people of the com munity are to be congratulated that tfre course is to be continued; to judge from the quality of the entertainments given the past two seasons there Is every rea- son to expect something equally as good in the future.

DESSERTS FOR INVALIDS.

Properly prepared, the dessert may constitute large part of the nutriment represented in meal. Dishes con- taining milk, cream or starches in large proportion are necessarily of high nutrivite value and become a useful means of giving these foods to patients who do not care for the flavor of the plain milk, raw eggs, cereals, etc, or who are likely to become tired of them For invalids combinations of food should always be simple, because the more complex the mixture of protein, fat and carbohydrate, the longer aRa more complicated is the process of d. gestion. Therefore, junket which iS simply favored coaEulated milk is one of the most digestible of desserts- Baked custards and junkets are usually best served in the original individual molds to avoid danger of breaking. Sauces should never be poured over tie pudding till time of serving. Care must be taken to see that cold desserts are thoroughly chilled.-M. A. Cos tello, Home Economies Department Conn.

Definite action looking to the putting by the Eastern States Exposition of Springfield, Mass. This follows several conferences since the adoption short time ago by the directors of the operat. ing program which grew out of the great Farm and Business Conference last September.
 Designed to do for all New England and the eastern states what the county league does for its county, the exposi- tion has made surveys and inquiries, now nearly completed. The definite result has been the appointment of a special committee few day ago, which will within a short time report de. tailed plan for the organization and operation of field staff and office force.
 The projects adopted for promotion include marketing, farm management, boys and girls club work, home economies and closer cooperation be. tween farmers and other business men. It is understood that the marketing problem will be first attacked and then the others as rapidly as circumtances will permit.
 The exposition's efforts to bring the country and the city closer together have already met with so much success that it is going ahead with its plans in full confidence it will have the hearty cooperation of every farmer and busi- ness man in this section, and it invites letters of inquiry.

DIR. VALERIA PARKER AGAIN.

Dr. Valeria Parker at last, is coming back to Canaan to give her noted lee. ture on a reformatory for delinquent women in Connecticut. This lecture was to be given at the home of Ga. naan's suffl lage league president, Oct. IT of last year but was cancelled on account of convention work and left for future date. Two years ago we secured Dr. Parker for two lectures, one "The story of life for gil" held in the afternoon at town hall, which was we'll attended, the evening lecture was on ''The Double Standard of Morals,'' which was one of the finest talks ever heard in Canaan, but the hearers were few. We have never ceased to be grateful to the Canaan clergy for their hearty co operation and support given us at this time. That this noble woman is to speak again here gives us (the writer) the greatest pleasure. The Hawthorne and Cranford Club will have the pleasure of hearing Dr. Parker but this is not notice, just an ap- probation of one of Connecticut's most gifted woman suffragists.

HIT BY HIGH COST OF DYING

The high cost of dying was brought to the attention of the state Friday in the senate in the form of a report from the committee on military affairs pro- viding for an increase in the allowance for the burial of soldiers and sailors. from $35 to $50.
 Senator Klett observed, when the report was presented, that he supposed the change was due to the increased cost of everything, which prompted Senator Williamson to remark "either the high cost of living or the high cost of dying"
