FINAL UNITED LENTEN SERVICE
Rt Rev. Campicn Acheson, D. D.. Delivered Last Dis course on Gods Call to America-Large Representation
 of Episcopal Church Attend Service at Christ Church

The final united Lenten service of Christ and Trinity Episcopal churches was held Thursday evening in Christ church with a large representation of both churches present. Rt. Rev. H. Campion Acheson delivered his closing discotirse on Gods Call to America. In his address Bishop Acheson brought out the underlying thought that the great thing in the world which all nations and people must realize is that they must build on the pattern of the cross.
 Bishop Acheson briefly reviewed his two previous sermons and said:
 Walk with thy God. This may iin- ply the yoke and hard work. But after assuming the yoke our burden becomes frightened and it is no longer a yoke but privilege. It is the quiet taking up of a task in the light of 8 new vision and patiently continuing it. All of Gods processes are slow but sure and are working toward that far off divine event This Is shown in the lessons of history both sacred and sec- ular. Take my yoke upon you, learn of me and ye shall find rest for your soul, said Jesus. l sanctify myself. We must sanetifyA ourselves. That is, in other words. enlist in the service of God. Christ knew the structure of life and its purpose. Christ died on theN cross for the foundation of the world. and the cross is the pattern of the world for eternity t.
 Sacrifice is one of the great prin- ciples in the pattern of the cross. Sacrifice means giving up something It may be a hard task for some to give

up that which they think Is good. Duty, coldly conceived, makes this So. It is not Sd when patriotism or love enfolds us The Belgian women have given their time, their all, for those little ones who have been made home less by the ravages of the German. It
 is no sacrifice for them to care fof
 them, it Is love. It is no sacrifice for a mother to do for her children; this,
 too. is love. It Is the willing offering
 of your best to a holy purpose thaa
 makes your gift sacred. How this
 changes man or women the sacred
 light shines in their faces. They have
 found a new self. There is a new
 meaning and depth seen in the cross.
 How strongly the meaning of the cross in human life stands out today. The men who copy Him need Him and learn of Him, they trust their all to his keep
 ing. This doctrine of the cross was looked askance at years ago, but 1t is
 now seen to be part of life. God calls upon us today to walk with God and to build the city of God in this fair land of America. Let us get a new vision of God and His purpose and pattern after the cross upon which our Saviour died that we might live Will the grasping of land and the killing of soldiers ever end this ter rible war? Never. We must do Gods will and bring ourselves on to His
 side and fight for His eternal kingdom Good will surely come of this greai conflict, for all Gods works are good
 There will be a new light and new vision, and the peoples of the eartI must see this vision and pattern aftel : the cross.

NEW RULES FOR
 WHEAT MILL FEEDS
Victory Bread Must Contain One Fourth Substitutes to Three Fourths Wheat Flour.

Among recent rules issued by the
 U. S. Food Administration for the reg
 ulation of wheat mill feeds and lard
 are the following:
 Householders to use not to exceed
 a total of 1 1-2 pounds per week of wheat products per person. This
 means not more than i 3-4 pounds of Victory bread containing the required percentage of substitutes and one
 half pound of cooking four, macaroni l crackers, pastry, pies. cakes, wheat
 breakfast cereals, all combined. Public eating places and clubs to observe two wheatless days per week Monday and Wednesday, as at pres- ent. In addition thereto not to serve | to any one guest at any one meal an l aggregate ofNbreadstuffs macaroni crackers, pastry, pies, cakes, wheat breakfast cereals containing total of more than two ounces Of wheat l four. No wheat products to be serv- ed unless specially ordered. Public eating establishments not to buy more 1 than six pounds of wheat products pel | month per guest, thus conforming with | the limitations requested of the house 1 holders.
 | Retailers to sell not more than one l eighth of barrel of four to any cus- toner at any one time. and in no case to sell wheat products without the sale of an equal weight of other cereals. Bakers beginning April 14, must ] bake Victory bread containing at least cne-fourth substitutes to three -fourths wheat flour.
 We ask bakers and grocers to re.
 duce the volume of Victory bread sold by delivery of the three-quarter pound loaf where one pound was sold before and corresponding proportions in other weights We also ask bakers not to increase the amount of their wheat flour purchases beyond 70 per cent. of the average monthly amount purchased in the four months priol. to March 1.
 Manufacturers using wheat products l for f1onfood purposes should cease
 such use entirely.
 There is no limit upon the use o1 other cereals, Hours, and meals, corn l barley, buckwheat potato flour, etc. No Hcensee engaged in the tnanu-

rise above the point warranted by economic conditions. Since the Unit ed States began to regulate distribu- tion and to limit profits, there has been steady settling of prices to the normal economic line. We still have high prices but recession has begun and we do not have the extortionate prices we had at the beginning of the war.
 "A study of the trend of retail food prices for the last quarter of 1917. is- sued by the United States Food Ad- ministration, shows that in this period, out of a group of 29 articles listed, prices declined on nine, increased on IS, and remained the same on two. Decreases were shown in wheat four, bread, tomatoes, corn, pork chops, while increases were shown in bacon, ham, lard, butter, cheese and eggs.
 "The most important decrease was that of 10 cents per one eighth bar ref bag of flour. Another favorable change was that in the price of the 16 to r ounce loaf of wheat bread, which sold at 11.3 cents on October 6, while on December 29 it was 10.3 cents. This decrease of about 10 per cent. in the price of a pound loaf of
 bread, followed the cooperation of the
 bakers with the food administration in standardizing the processes of baking.
 "A comparison of the average state quotations on a pound loaf wheat bread shows an increase in the mum
 Der of states quoting this size loaf at less than ten cents.
 Prices still cling around the max imum on foodstuffs which offer few opporttnitied for progressive stabili-
 zation. All dairy products show mar ket value increases in both the United
 States and Canada. A comparison shows that with regard to price in- l creases the United States is better of 1 than Canada. During the period 1T which one third. or g out of 29, food
 products in the United Stases were de- ereasing in price, only two out of 2 | food commodities were showing a de- crease in Canada.
 i "As to variations in prices between 1 different sections of the United States the report shows, that they are not as 1 a rule accidental but reflect norma price differences extending over per
 iods of time. Thus flour is consistent l ly highest in Florida and lowest il lIdaho. Corn meal is cheaper in tho
 southern states than elsewhere. Dur,
 the period covered by the record, Con
 necticut was almost consistently high. est in average price for eggs, as wa. Rhode Island for round steak Dur. | ing the same quarter Idaho reported
 the lowest average price on potatoe! ten tinges; California on sugar i times, and Oregon on round steak I 1 times.

CHILEAN SHIPS START
 ON HoMEWARD TRIP.
Cruiser, Transport and Submarines Steamed Away Thursday Afternoon.

Admiral Louis Gomez of the Chilean navy, accompanied by one of his lieu 1 tenants, visited Mayor Ernest E. Rog- Pers ofNew London Wednesday, making an official farewell call prior to de- parture for Chile. The admiral in- | formed Mayor Rogers that he planned to leave Thursday. on his flagship, the l Chacabueo, which will convoy the Chilean transport Angamos with the l six Chilean submarines, on their long "trip south of the equator.
 The cruiser Chacabuco, the trans l port Angamos and the six Chilean sub-
 marines steamed away at 1855 Thurs 1 day afternoon.
 The Chi1eans have been in New London since last September, and be- ling natives of a warm climate, they have had an experience with north ern winter which they are unlikely to forget for some time hence During the severe part of the cold spell the Chilean cruiser was frozen in solid in the harbor; so that for a few days ii
 was impossible to get a boat out to liner to deliver supplies Finally tug was chartered to break the ice and get out to the, cruiser and big sup ply of meats and groceries was put on board.
 | some or the sailors left the cruiser and walked about her on the ice ir the harbor and photographs were taken of this unusual scene. whicE
 many of them will take home to show
 to their relatives and friends
 The transport Aangamos achieved considerable notoriety not many weeks Iago when she was reported lost on g
 voyage from New York to New Lon- don, she having been missing for three 1 days before she was located. Tht inews of her disappearance was re.
 ceived with concern, inasmuch as sh, had large crew and a very valuable
 cargo. It was stated, but could not b.
 confirmed, that not the least valuabl part of her cargo was s3,G0O,000 il
 gold. She also has on board some 5
 flat cars built by the Pullman com pany, about dozen automobiles ant other valuable cargo.

EGGS COST MORE IN CONNECTICUT
That Is What Federal Food Adminis-
 tration Says.

Tn a review of foodstuff prices is- sued by the federal food administra- tion, it appears that Connecticut is noted throughout. the country as being highest in the average price for eggs. The food administration analysis of the retail prices for foodstuffs is as follows:
 Advances in retail prices on food stuffs have been checked. Like the race between the allied cumulative powers and the submarine menace is the race between high prices and high price -destroyers. But the advantage Is slightly on the side of the regulat ing forces.
 "No one expects low prices in war time. At the same time it is now ac- eepted as the business of government that prices shall not be permitted to
