URGES WOMEN TO.
 ADOPT DEFINITE FOOD PROGRAMS

There is reason behind every sacrifice asked of Connecticut people" |" says Miss M. Estelle Sprague, of the Connecticut Agricultural college and home economics director for the state, who has just returned from Wash ington, where she has been in con- ference with officials of the United States Food Administration and the United States Department of Agri- culture.
 According to Miss Sprague, the present food situation is complicated by a number of things among them being the submarine menace, which destroyed a million bushels of wheat in one week in February, also the loss due to runfarvorable weather condi- tions and to a general exhaustion of food supplies in England, France and Italy. The need for food in these countries is so imperative that America can only meet it by a definite program of production and conserva- tion in every home
 Every woman in the state should not only adopt a definite program for her own family but she should make sure that every one of her friends understands the situation. The farm bureau drive for membership which is coming next week should bes up- ported vigorously, since by this means every woman in the state can be reached and the importance of the conservation work explained.
 This is not the time to be con- tinually asking why" says Miss Sprague. "The situation is ours tc meet and we must do it even though we do not understand the exact rea- son for some of the things asked ot us" .i--

WOMEN KN|TTERS DOING VALUABLE.
 SERVICE FOR WAR

Some people have been inclined to sheer at the fever of knitting with which our patriotic women have been seized. Theoretically it might seem more economical to have all this work done in factories on labor saving ma chimes.
 But practically, the following com putation points in an opposite direc- ton. One woman says she has knit ted Al sweaters. The only cash ex- pense about it was $75 for material, $1.83 per sweater.
 Now one of those sweaters would be as comfortable to wear as one for which you would pay $6 to $S in a store. ~ It might not be knitted quite as evenly. But probably it would have better material, There is a temptation to adulterate in a factory made article.
 Of course when you buy a. sweater at store, you have to pay retail prices, while the government could buy at wholesale. But when you consider that the factories are driven with war work, the government would not get a low price. It is difficult tc  believe that these sweaters could be bought for less than $3 to $4 apiece, and they might cost more. VI.
 Hence it looks as if voluntary la Tor was by far the cheapest way tG provide the men with the knitted goods that will add enormously to their comfort in cold weather. And it helps pay for the war as we go along. If the government bought all this a. terial the cost would have to be add ed to our war debt, and we would be paying interest on it for many years. Furthermore, the material gets to the boys quicker than if it went through the rushed factories and government red tape.
 So it looks like good business in every way, for the government to 1ooK to the kind hearts and ready hands of voluntary workers for this form of supplies The number of women seen knitting everywhere is a spIen- did response on the part of the wom- en of the nation to this call.

ETIQUETTE

Never give gratuitous advice; and never offer unsolicited information. No matter how much you know, keep vour technical knowledge to yourself unless requested to disclose it.
 James-Until a man has asked a woman to marry him and has been accepted he has no right to object to her writing to another man. If you intend to take such a step you can quickly settle the matter of the cor respondence by proposing to her. To be sure you have privileges. as any one else would have, of requesting her as a favor to discontinue the eX- change of letters; but you can assume no authority, since, unless you are engaged to her, you have none.

Sometimes the best way to- solve the problem of spending less is to buy more. That is quite true when it comes to meat, and the wonder is that so few American housewives have helped to solve their meat problem in the way that seems the most natural thing for the English housewife-buy- ing large quantities of beef at time.
 In cold weather it is quite easy to keep on hand seven or eight pounds of meat-Which can be entirely con- stunned by a moderate-s sized family within a week. Here is the way an English housewife would do it. She would buy seven or eight pounds of "silverside of beef" piece of meat in which there is very little waste.
 From a very small piece of beef she would make beef olives that are stuffed with forcemeat and, there fore, take but little meat. A slice of the meat would be cut off and used for steak pie. Perhaps five pounds would remain, and this she would braize and cook slowly in a pan and serve with brown sauce, potatoes and other vegetables. This beef can be served up the second day cold and the third day can be converted into rice and beef croquettes.
 In the same way, if you wish to have ham, get a good large one. Cut a generous slice off the first day. Boil it gently till tender, then brown in frying pan and serve with brown gravy or white sauce. This will be at saving over the usual sliced ham because you will have got it from the large ham. which costs less a pound than sliced ham. Now boil the ham remaining and serve it the first day hot with cabbage and white potatoes or spinach and potatoes.
 Every bit of ham that remains may be used. The large pieces may

HELP THE HEROIC
 WOMEN OF FRANCE

My words are not powerful enough
 to do even scanty justice to the most
 heroic figure in the modern world and
 of ages past-the woman of France.
 Of the healthy men who are engaged
 in the military service in France. practically all are engaged either in transportation or in the manufacture
 of munitions leaving the agriculture
 absolutely to the women. Not only
 this, but they have stepped into the place of work animals; you can go
 into any section of France today and
 see women of magnificent, noble womanhood hitched to the blow and cultivating the soil. All of the agri- culture rest upon their shoulders. The home, always an extremely efficient home, maintains a few old men, the wounded and the tubercular. Uncom- p1aining, with high devotion, with an
 attitude that amounts almost to re- ligious exaltation, the woman of
 France bears the burden, says Dr. AIonzo Taylor. Now. conditions being as they are, 1 does it lie within the heart of the
 American peple to preserve and hold | to every convenience of our life at the | expense of adding an additional bur den to the womanhood of France :?
 This is the exact question that is in
 volved in our substitution of other
 cereals in place of wheat.
 The women of France must be en- abIed to hold up the morale of the
 French soldier until next spring. The morale of the house decides the nor ale of the soldier in the fighting line. I We can do this by giving to them the
 greatest possible freedom in their l food supply, and of this wheat Is the l chief factor. -7 s>,f .t.- fs

Is it any wonder I feel grouchy?" said Mrs. Clark Belden, proceeding to take off her dripping jacket. Look at my suit!' Did you ever see a worse looking mess, Madame Frances? T had no idea when I started out, dressed in my best bib and tucker, that it was going to rain. Then, +o cap the climax, had to stand in the downpour for fully 15 minutes be- fore managed to get a taxi. By that time I was drenched and the blue began to fade from my suit. Have you anything that might fit me? t.a'-
 Il have an appointment with MT. Belden in an hour, to have luncheon with a party of friends. I really must have a frock or a suit. couldn't possibly appnr in this"
 Madame asked me to try on the tailored suits of heavy silk, saying that if Mrs. Belden saw a model that appealed to her she might have it, provided there weren't too many aI- terations to be made
  Belden exclaimed:
 'Pll have nothing in coIors. It's too great a risk to take in these days of uncertain dyes. That com bination of green and tan is stunning, but white or natural color is safer''
 I replaced the green and tan suit with one of, natural colored rajah. The material was of an exceptionally heavy quality, woven with a rough surface.
 The jacket was just hip length, with long sleeves, draped col lar, patch pockets and a belt, which wound twice about the waist and tied in stock fashion in front. A skirt with panel front and back and pleated sides completed the suit.
 Mrs. Belden thought it too much like a sport suit, so I hunted about for a more dressy model. There was enc of heavy, oyster-white silk in 6 crepe weave which Madame considers on and presented it for Mrs. Belden's criticism. -
 That's very good looking. Let me try it on to see how nearly it fits. It ought not to be much out of the way" she said, eagerly getting into the skirt .:--,-.
 It fitted perfectly with the excep- ton that the waistband was toe large ssP3g ss,
 The model was unusually becoming to Mrs. Belden, even though it di6 draw in at the hem, but there was enough fulness about the hips to sof- ten the lines. - +7
