time folks from their home com munities. Some of them are "blue' and these are taken to dinner and the theatre or are put in touch with men from their communities, who give them heart-to-heart talks. Others want jobs back home and for these the War Camp Community Service maintains a nationwide em- ployment service which, under pr. w. D. Fisher, seeks jobs in New England and in other states for sol- diers and sailors. ..s. E
 The hospital work of the Hall of States is, perhaps, the most impor- tant thing done there. Under a sys- tenn perfected by the War Camp Community Service the names of all wounded men, sometimes to the number of 4,000 arrivals a day, are immediately divided into state groups and put in the hands of the Hospitality Committees from the various states. The women at once write to the boys asking them to call at the Hall of States, or, if that be impossible, to indicate whether they wish to have a visitor call on them. t.
 The New England desk is in the active charge of Miss Elizabeth B. Dexter. She is assisted by Mrs. James Ward Warner, chairman for the New York Colony of the Society of New England Women, and Misa Lizzie Woodbury. treasurer.

Of Interest to Canaan Readers

For months Canaan citizens have seen in these columns enthusiastic praise of Doan's Kidney Pills by Canaan residents. Would these prominent people recommend a rem edy that had not proven reliable9 Would they confirm their statements after years had elapsed if personal experience had not shown the remedy to be worthy of endorsement? The following statement should carry conviction to the mind of every Ca- naan reader. .ta
 James O. Snyder, Bragg St., Ca naan, says: My kidneys had been out of order for some time and I often had difficulty in passing the secretions. My back pained a great deal, too. When stopped over, I could hardly straighten up. After using box of Doan's Kidney Pills, procured from Farnum & Co.'s Drug Store, had no more kidney trouble" Statement given September II, 1908).

and shall always think of you as Kitty. I know you will be interest ed in the story of my life. I could fill book telling you about my little love affairs, but I don't want to tire you too much. During the summer of 1919 I hired out as private secretary, to a very rich gentleman in Bridgeport. I liked it there very much at first, but I had such long hours, that soon gave it up and became stenographer for a gentle man interested in the movies. You remember how I used to love to go to- the movies when was in school. Well I have never got over it. While working for this movie man, I be- came doubly interested and went several times to see movie taken. 1t was on one of these occasions that started acting in the pictures. A girl who was supposed to be parlor maid for very rich man, was taken suddenly i'll and could not act, and as I was there, I was asked to take her place. The son of this rich man fell in love with the parlor maid and after a while persuaded her to run away with him and be married. The picture turned out to be success, and the director of the picture thought had the ability to act well, so I gave up my profession as a stenographer and spent all my time as an actress. I have acted in sev- eral pictures and am now working on one called, "Oh, Picklesw Does the title sound familiar? If you ever have chance to see this play, you must be sure to do so. I know you would like it. Oh Kitty, how l wish I could see you! But now I shall have to stap for my young movie man is calling for me. So Goodbye, dear old pal,

after the animals. We have all sorts of animals, of course, ,aandsswe enjoy tteaching them tricks, especially the We have mirrors in all the cages of the females, so that they may admire themselves whenever they wish. Sometimes, when we are in the cages, we casually glance into the mirrors ourselves, to powder our noses or to fix our hair. We have taught Nellie, our large baboon, to ride bicycle. It was great task, for in the first place, we had to learn,
 ourselves. Can you imagine me, a
 modern Passepartout, climbing up on the back of huge elephant or feeding him sugar, for which he re- wards me by lifting me from the
 ground with his huge trunk? Eh
 bien! Il fait tres non! As for the park, we have laid it out very artis- tically with sunflowers, bachelor buttons and dandelions. In some
 places, where they would not be so noticeable, we have roses, gladioli and sweet peas. My partner has good taste in arranging the flowers.
 Of course, I work in the park too, and she helps me with the animals.
 She seems to have better judgment than I in teaching the animals. For instance, she can make the parrots sing and say anything she pleases, but when I try to make them talk, they keep saying "Get Sara, get Sara", and in the end have to do it. The other day I went out into the
 park to hunt up Sara. As rounded a curve heard someone say, "He loves me, he loves me not, He loves me, he loves me not" and l came upon Sara picking the petals from a large sunfower. It was the first time that I knew that she was senti- mentally inclined, and I asked her who the unlucky one was, but she wouldn't tell.
