NORWICH WOMEN ALIVE
 TO FOOD QUESTION
What the Community Canning Club
 Accomplished in First Week.

| That the housewives of Norwich are awake to the vital question of i food conservation is Shown by the record of the Community Canning club in its opening week.
 In the three days that the club rooms were open 225 jars of peas were put up and applications enough have been received to fill all the time to- ering the length of time that peas require for cooking-three hours this is a highly successful accomplish ment for the club. This result has system and hearty cooperation of the members of the committee and the planning of the work upon the most expert advice of government officials officers have helped in every way and it only remains for the volunteer workers to continue the community spirit so well shown by them on these three days.
 The members of the canning com
 nittee, of which Mrs George W. Car roll is the chairman, have their differ ent days for heinz in charge. Their schedule follows:
 Monday-Mrs. Robert Smith and Mrs. Willis Austin.
 Tuesday-Miss Hattie Holt and Mrs. Rollin Jones.
 Wednesdav-Mr Frederic W. Cary, and Mrs. Abner Hill.
 Thursday-Mrs Charles H. Preston Miss Louise B. Meech and Mrs. Ray mond B. Sherman.
 Friday-Mrs. Amos Johnson. Miss Isabel Mitchell and Miss Martha Os- good.
 Any of these ladies will be most happy to receive offers of help from any one This is a club having no membership. Every woman in the community is free to avail herself of it's privileges and asked to give it all the time she can spare.
 The Housewives League, of which the Canning club is a branch, alone solicits membership.
 The idealy perfect sanitary condi- tions, due to using the domestic sci ence rooms. is one of the noticeable points in connection with the work Food conservation will lead to better sanitation and the best example of this was in a local store where the garbage pail was shown filled with glass jars. The pail was to be used as cooker in canning, instead of being filled with wasted food.
 In order to reach all parts of the city and any housewives who may not q able to telephone their applications try the plan of giving Wednesday of this wee kto housewives from the West Side. These will be taken in turn as they arrive at the Broadway school at nine o'clock Wednesday morning. Wednesday the club begins string beans
 Not only the housewives but the farmers. are waking up to the idea of public services for which the club stands. The farmers, too, are finding their way to the Broadway school.

Y. M. c. A. MEETING
Rev. L. o. Gates Addressed Gathering
 on Ashes and Water.

There was a good attendance at the Y. M. C. A. open air service at five o'clock Sunday on the Buckingha m Memorial grounds. After a wide
 awake song service of fifteen minutes Rev. L. O. Gates delivered very | helpful address on the subject of Ashes or Water" taking his text from the prophecy of Isiah, the 2Oth verse
 of the 44th chapter He feedeth on ash es' and the 1st verse of the 55th chapter How everyone that thirstieth Come ye to the water"
 MT. Gates emphasized the fact that the heather who worship idols and
 are really feeding on ashes and water therefore there is no development but
 death to the soul. That the heather
 are not the only people who worship
 idols but that many even in Christian
 countries are idol worshippers.
 There are so many who are in
 spiritual sense trying to satisfy their
 souls hunger with food akin to ashes
 What a contrast between ashes and water; nothing will grow in ashes. They are dead things, but water, how refreshing and we are b1dden to partake freely of the water of life. It is like leaving the desert and coming into our own oriental garden; like leaving an underground cellar and standing beside dancing brook.
 The word of God is like water to the thirsty soul, other things fail but Gods word will never fail, not even the smallest part of 1t shall fail-If you want refreshments let the word of God into your life. We talk about war, we are all engaged in warfare and we need to use freely the sword of the spirit which is the word of God and when we use this great weapon victory will always be ours. Secretary Hill was in charge of the service; Miss Marion Beebe of hciated at the organ, and Robert Johnson played the cornet.

account will be exempt from that as- sessment it Is estimated that about $650, 900 will be raised by this means. It is to obtain the balance that will be required, to make up the full amount of the war fund, that this nationwide campaign has been inaug- urated during this last week in July, in every section of the country, where there is council of the order. Only Catholics will be solicited to contrib ute to this fund, although it will be expended for the benefit of all soldiers or sailors, without regard to their re- ligious views.
 The fact that the war department has designated the Knights of Co., lumbus as the official agency for look ing after the moral and social well fare of the Catholic men of the army and navy should arouse general in- terest in the movement and insure the success of the campaign.
 At the meeting tonight prominent members of the order will show the great good which 1t is expected to accomplish with the war camp fund, and the responsibility which rests up- on the order in connection with this work.
