"CANTEEN HABIT. BRINGS NEW
 PROHIBITION SALOON"
Episcopal Churchwomen Go Back to War Days for Solution of Peace Time Problem.

Rising from the ashes of their alec holic predecessors, prohibition sa- looms" will shortly appear all over New York to provide the lonely and thirsty men of the town with arnuse- ment, food, and a cup that it is hoped will cheer.
 This 192Oversion of the saloon will be contributed kv the Churchwonan's League for Patriotic Service, a women's organization for public service recently inaugurated in New York. Men who developed the ''canteen habit" during the war are now clamoring for social centers such as these, and 1t is to meet this need that the ChurchwOman S League has planned the new 'prohi- bition saloons" They are to be opened in the quarters of former saloons, when ever possible. Games, cards and pool will be offered as substitute for free lunch and bargain rates will prevail in the prices of food, tea, coffee and other drinks that conform to the law but still tend to cheer.
 One Of the first considerations of the ChurcflWornan s League will be the pro motion of the Episcopal Nationwide Campaign tor the development ot the spiritual and social activities ot the Episcopal Church. The League IS headed By Mrs. Hamilton R. Fairfax and all of the other officers are com municants of the Episcopal Church, al though the membership is not limited by any church boundaries.
 In addition to this intensive work in the Nationwide Campaign, the League will open a campaign against Soviet Sunday Schools in the near future A committee on religious edu- cation will deal with this problem, and will emphasize the present need for 3 spiritual religion rather than doctrine of radical political propaganda such as the Bolshevists teach in their Sunday morning classes.
 Rescue and preventative work for girls will be the consideration of special committee of the League, and other committees on hospital service, prison aid, and home missions are being formed to begin active work after the close of the Nationwide Carr-e;~

WOHIEN URGED ID BUY MORE
 CAREFULLY
Miss Breitzke Would Inter est Women of State To
 Join Thrift Campaign.

The thrift campaign among the
 housewives of the state which started
 early m the fall is being continued
 with even more zeSt and enthusiasm
 at the present time, when prices
 nave become exceedingly exorbitant
 and many food products ara unob-
 .ainabIe> 4 way in which to meet
 the present conditions and reduce
 the high cost of living Is being
 mapped out by representative groups
 of several woman organizations in
 the state under the direction of Miss
 Gertrude Breitzke, director of the
 Bureau of Home Economics of
 Hartford and state director of the
 thrift campaign now being carried
 under the auspices of the United
 States Treasury Department.
 Miss Breitzke visited Bridgeport
 last week to interest the leading
 wornan's orga nizations in this city
 to join with the others Tn this thrift campaign
 The first important requisite to
 meet this high cost of living'' said
 Miss Ereitzkc, lis to save more money at the present time, It may
 sound rather odd, but 1t Is a fact.
 Those who will buy government se-
 curitieS, such as treasury certificates
 and War Savings Stamps, will enable
 the government to pay off the na-
 tional debt thereby rem owing the war taxes on so many products. which will
 be the first step towards lower prices Then again, we find so many peo- pie spending money haphazardly, in spite of the high prices. They have not learned to buy and use materials svStenatCalIv, Why shouldn't a housewife keep Q budget of her spendings, and compare the accounts and records every month to see which products are to be eliminated and which increased.
 Housewives should be urged to buy more intelIigentIy and give pro 1 ductton 8 chance to keep up with manufacture. And since there Is such a scarcity of products, why not ] buy only such things that are abso- ] Iutely needed. The average house. wife does not stop to think of the many things she buys that she could
 as well do without
 "The housewife does not look upon
 materials in the right way,'' continu ed Miss Breit7Ize- ''She buys careIessly and uses things up carelessly. She would throw out remains of a meal without considering its possibilities Of being used again in various ways. The housewife would not throw money away, even in normal tine so why not use the same judgment with fcod and clothing?''
 Miss Breitzke urged the women to sell the old metals old clothes. rub beTs, and other useless materials, az well as old newspapers and 1naga- zines, so that they could be turned ever to production and in this way i help to conserve the natural resources of the country.
 The plan for the thrift campafgD has been heartily endorsed by the D. A R. of the state, the Womans Re lief Corps, the Daughters of 1912 and the Girls Friendly societies Tt is only through the concerted efforts of all organizations in making popular the fact that it is a responsi- oilty to be thrifty that we can accom- Dish anything worth whLe,'' said Miss Breitzke-

THE BABX-PICTURE.

Are these the hands that grew to join with mine? These little things like petals lost in snow? How long ago did they begin to grow About my heart How gladly long ago? These eyes have changed, for now they look in mine Not with the wonder of that childish stare; Now they have visions that my love finds fair; They now are filled with tenderness and prayer. These little lips, that later fled to
