CLOSE TEAMWORK
NOW URGED ON
WOMEN ~

CLOSE teamwork between state
food administrators and churches,
synagogues, and fraternal organiza-
lions in their territory is urged at
this time. Representatives of the
different religious denominations and
fraternal orders can be asked to
serve upon the staff of the state food
administrators. and also work in the
countries, forming food committees
in each church, synagogue, and local
lodge of fraternal orders to keep in
touch with developing aspects of the
food situation, according to the
weekly Food Bulletin The following
activities are suggested for such work
ers:
Eliminating unnecessary collations
from all social functions.
At all banquets or occasions where
the serving of food is necessary, pre-
senting conservation menus. empha-
sizing the three-course meal, the use
of local foods, and the substitution of
other foods for those which we wish
to save for export.
At meetings. of church societies and
SdlnGI1ISS VI L11dG 1ldIuIC giving
some time to consideration of food
problems, as for example:
To teach conservation as a matter
of self-sacrifice and to impress upon
the public the first duty of feeding
our soldiers and our associates in the
war.
To announce and explain the con-
stantly developing program of the
food administration.
To discuss sllbstitutions, desirable
recipes, methods of canning and
dehydrating, and the relative nutri-
tive values of various foods.
To demonstrate cooking or the use
of war kitchens.
To give instruction as to the most
| practical products to raise in home
war gardens; to stimulate the raising
of pigs, poultry ,etc.
To encourage consumption of local
products to relieve the transportation
problem The development of home
| gardens and the local consumption
propaganda during 1917 saved the
country from great suffering.
! Delivering an occasional inspira-
| tional message from the pulpit and
in the Sunday school.
| Checking the membership to ascer-
| tain if all families are enrolled as
members of the food administration
Ascertaining, by periodical reports
or otherwise, the actual saving in the
essentials by the families in the
church, and reporting same to the ad-
| ministration
Urging the patronizing of those re-
! tail dealers in food, and public eat
| ing places which observe the food
administration regulations
| Encouraging the reporting of vic
lations of the food regulatins to the
| local food administrator

ELIZABETH HEARD.

Mrs. Elizabeth Heard, ga widow of
good estate, a mother of many chill
dren and a daughter of Mr.. Hull, a
minister formerly living at Piequa-
taqua," was among the sufferers from
captivity by the Indians in the latter
part of the seventeenth century. She
was taken at the destruction of Ma
jor Waldron's garrison in Dover,
n. H, about 1853. She was per-
mitted to escape because of a favor
she had shown a young Indian 10
years before She made her way back
to Dover, and had the satisfaction of
finding the garrison there still intact
though sorely beset by the Indians.
This garrison was on the most ex-
treme frontier of the province"

Dover, to DR.. Cotton Mather, land
more obnoxious than any other, and
therefore incapable of being relieved.
Nevertheless by her presence and
courage it held out all the war, even
for ten years together, It would
have been deserted if she had accept

friends to abandon it and retire to

KING And QUEEN
CONFORM TO The
RATIONINC RULES

London, March 18-King George
and Queen Mary were among the first
in England, as was Mrs Woodrow
Wilson in the United States, to make
their household conform to the rigor-
GUS rationing system of a food minis
ter of administrator. Like the White
House at Washington, the royal family
and staff at Buckingham palace have
been placed on the diet suggested by
the man chosen to conserve the ma
TONS food supply, in England, Lord
Rhondda-
From the early days of the Minis
try of Food the King has insisted that
every suggestion for self-denial which
has been put before the people of the
country must be Loyalty observed
throughout the royal household.
Sir Derek Keeper, Master of the
Household, said in an interview this
week:
1--WE are all in line here with the
rations, and I am saying no more
than what is common knowledge when
1 tell you that I never knew any peo-
pie so thoroughly conscientious in this
matter as the King and Queen. They
accept the restrictions with the most
noticeable cheerfulness,- taking real
pleasure in bearing their share of the
food hardships.
1.-THE royal household is large and
varying one. Its changing character
makes some difficulty in the rationing,
but if any error is made in the cal
culation it is in the direction of less
rather than more We keep in con-
slant touch with the Ministry of Food,
learning each day whatever new regu-
lations may be impending.
quite often recently the royal
larder has been empty of such COM
modities as butter, margarine, and tea,
and we have gone without, from King
down. The King and Queen have re-
peatedly spoken to me to impress me
with the duty of self-denial in food
and drink. The King in the first days
of the war pledged himself to total
abstinence from alcoholic beverages,
and that pledge holds good today over
the whole household.
1.-THE King actually tries always to
anticipate restrictions. A long while
ago he insisted on coal economy in
the palace. Waste of fuel or coal con-
stitutes a grave offense among the
| servants of the King"

Time and Perseverance.

First of all, read up on the subject
oil deep breathing and tone producing.
Then practice simple vocal exercises
to round out your vowels. Pay par
ticular attention to the endings of the
words, as very few persons speak
them clearly and distinctly.
Learn to use less lip movements;
keep the muscles about the mouth
ind those of the throat relaxed-there
is no necessity of making the task of
speaking such muscular effort. Read
aloud every day of your life, and lis
ten attentively to detect any defect
in your voice. Then proceed to elm
mate that defect. If you're one of
those who are ''tone deaf" you will
have to seek the aid of teacher of
elocution and voice culture until you
are started on your way"
There is little verse written by an
American which is well worth re-
Numbering. It is this:
ALAS, for those who never sing,
And die with all their music in
them"
In your voice there is music. Whv
not bring it to the listening worlds?

lands listen and nod assent-but when
it comes to the American voice,
there's a dead silence. Little can be
said in it's favor.
In the first place, the typical
American voice." that is, the one
you hear upon the streets, in the
home and in the country, has never
| grown up" 1t is an immature voice
! high in register and thin unto pain
| full emaciation.'' It isn't the high
musical note of the flute. 1t is more
like the shrill sound of the factory
| whistle. The general belief is that
| the extreme nervousness of the ma
ton is responsible for the unmusical
voices.
Now, the hopeful thought that I'm
going to leave with you today, is that
the mechanism of the Voicebox is, in
nearly all cases, perfect, and holds IN
| it potentialities of music. 1t is for
| you to use it Alright.
AS a melodious voice is largely a
matter of imitation, be most careful
| how you talk to your children. Yell
! ing mothers with shrill, nasal tones
| generally have the same voices around
the family table.
There are a few sections in Amer
| lea, however, where the average voice
| is we'll modulated and the tones round
ard musical. The sunny South" is
| one of them.
| The conditions of city life make for
this shrin voice. The roar of trains
and street cars, the hum of motors
and machinery the sounds that rise
in thousands of factories must be out
| yelled by workers anxious to be I'M
| derstood.
| Once in a blue moon there is a
woman who has a voice like that of
| Shakespeare's heroine:

Gentle and low-an excellent thing

Then everyone raves about her. She

Malone defended the action of the
women who picketed the White House
and said:
Il have never met a woman yet who
opposed the granting of the franchise
to her sex, but that I stood face to
face with one of the idle rich, one of
the pampered women, who had every
thing that she wanted and did not see
why others should not feel content
like herself.
You may say that women have no
opinion, but you are wrong. They
have it and they are expressing it. 1t
was the women of California who
elected President Wilson in the last
presidential election because he had
kept them out of war. 1t was the first
| time in the history of the country that
| the suffrate vote had turned the tide
of affairs. Have the women of Con-
necticut less right to the vote than
| their sisters in California? That is
/ something for your Connecticut sen.
ators to think over. And the politi-
| clan or representative or senator to-
| day who shuts his eyes to the ques-
| ton of woman suffrage is most I'M
wise, in fact he is almost as good as
politically dead.
ut needed something like the So
called peace picketing about the
White House to stir this nation up to
it's duty. I have nothing but admira-
/ ton for those patient, suffering wo-
men. who marched in front of the
White House with their banners de-
n,anding votes, exercising their
right of petition and their right of ap-
neal as thew had every right to do.
."T'his is the 18th of March. 1t is a
Citing time to renew the fight. The
United States cannot either nope 10

HOUSEHOLD HINTS

When making pie crust, add little
baking powder. Makes it much rich
er.
To stop cake from burning: When
your oven is too hot put a tin in and
set your cake tin in it. This will keep
it from burning on the bottom.
In baking juicy pies try putting in
each pie a spoonful of fine tapioca.
1t will prevent the juice from running
over and imparts a rich flavor to the
pie
When broiling steak take the steak
on the end of a butcher fork, plunge
quickly in and out of boiling water
This tends to scar the outside and
