NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 15, "~ TERSELY ToLD 1i We Were Only Living 100 Years | Ago We'd Eat Lots of Chicken Reporter Meditates, Reynolds Bridge.—The reporter, in meditating on the extremely high cost of some of the main commodities, be- | came interested in an old account book of 100 years ago, in 1817. This record was kept by one who pur- chased quills for 62 1-2 cents and ink for 25 cents. On January 2 of that year she purchased a good chicken for 16 cents, four pounds of butter for 67 cents, two dozen fresh eggs for 1 1-2 cents per dozen, barrel flour $4.62 1-2. The old account book records the price of 29 cents for two chickens for the table. The same jchickens would be about $3 now. In |that age fish was quite commonly in tuse. They bought shad, {lobster, respectively, at 27 cents, oys- ters cost 17 cents per quart, clams 20 cents -per peck, round clams, |e far greater delicacy, at 25 cents per }peck. Five skeins of wool brought | 16 cents; a maid to do housework, $1 | \‘rpfil' week; beefsteak at 7 cents per pound. To Homor Memory. sea bass and l long [ ! dertaking establishment at 110 East cation has been received from the Sec- retary of the Navy in which that offi- cer denies that any authority has been given men in the uniform of the Unit. ed States Navy to collect funds for the benefit of the widows and dependents of deceased members of the navy. Secretary Cray will inform the peo- ple of this city that those who wish to contribute for such charitable pur- poses do not have to hand their coin to strangers, as well known residents of this city are competent to care for all 'such collections = Foul Play. Bridgeport—Indications that foul iplay is suspected in connection with the death of an unidentified negro | who succumbed to opium poisoning 1at St. Vincent’s hospital, appear in the | fact that the hospital authoritics are ireferring the case to Coroner John J. Te victim was found lying uncon- sclous, yesterday, in a room in the boarding house conducted by Mrs. Margaret Modosky, at 532 Broad street, and was at first thought to have been overcome by illuminating gas. Later, symptoms of opium-pois oning developed, giving rise to the theory that the man had taken an overdose of the drug. Still Unidentified. Waterbury—No one has yet identi- fied the body of the man who was fa- tally injured Monday night when run into by a Thomaston trolley car near Cooke street. The body is being held for identification at the Mulville un- Main street. Coroner John T. Mon- . Waterbury.—At the regular month- 1y meeting of the St. Francis Xavier's | [Holy Name soclety, held Monday | evening, Grand Marshal Jeremiah | Shugrue delivered a short address on | {the excellent work of the late pas- | or, the Rev. J. J. Curtin, and brought | before the society a plan to erect a snonument or some other suitable memorial to the beloved pastor as a remembrance of the great work donc | by him for the people of his parish end the people of Waterbury in gen- | eral. A committee composed of Pres- | ident Dapiel Campion, Vice President P. J. Egan, Marshal Jeremiah Shugue ecretary holas McE William Dwyer, Patrick Tracy and William | Curtis were appointed by the mem- bers of the society to look into this atter and report on it at the next | eeting. i Soldier Shoots Woman. | Bridgeport—John Becker, a private | ' in the national army, whose home is | in this city, shot Mrs. Freda Clayton, o cabaret singer last night in her Jroomn at 342 Eighth avenue, New ; {York, and then fired three bullets into | his own body. He died in an ambu- | lance on the way to the New York hompital. The singer is badly hurt. Mrs. Clayton told the police that Becker had been attentive to her and | that she thought jealousy was the rea- son for his act. She said she had known Becker for several weeks. He was drafted last September. The po- ' lice could not ascertain last night at what camp he was stationed.

Pastor Dies. New Milford.—The Rev. Frank A. Johnson, who was pastor of the First Congregational church here for ' 1% vears, is dead at his home, after an fllness of several weeks, caused by 4 shock. He was 70 years old, a graduate of Hamilton college and the Union Theological seminary and was ordained in 1870. FOOD ADMINISTRATORS. Washington, Nov. 15.—The govern- ment’s activities everywhere, present and prospective in the conservation of household commodities were dis- cussed at a continued conference of federal food administrators from states in al] sections of the country except the south at the administration offices here today. They are vested with broad powers BELGIAN CHILBREN INNEED OF CLOTHES Red Cross Asks New Britain Wo- men to Help Afflicted The children of Belgium, thousands of whom are orphans, are to be the objects of special care on the part of the American Red Cross departnent for Belgium. Many of the chililren in free Belgium are exposed to shell fire and are in constant danger. The Minister of the Interior for Belgium has made a special request Of the American Red Cross to save these children. In answer to this reiuest, asylums are being organized in France and Switzerland where can be kept in safety. The followiny extract from a cablegram from the American Red Cross in Pari zives some idea of the number of homeless, orphaned children who must be cared for: “There arrived = fast weelk at ian, where the repatries from France and Belgium are received hack into France, a train loaded with Belgian children. Therc were 680 of them-— thin, sickly, alone, all between the ages of four and twelve. They had come all the long way alone. On the platform were the Red Cross workers to meet them—doctors and nurses with ambulanc for the little sick ones waiting outside the station. The children poured out of the station, marched along the street shouting: meat, we are_ going to have to the Casino, where they were en a square meal—the first in many months. Their little claw-iike hands were significant of their under- nourished bodies. Every day at Evian 1,000 homeless people arrive, of which 60 per cent are children. An appeal is made to the women of this city to help clothe these chil- dren. Donations of warm clothingz (either old or new) are solicited and should be sent to the Red Cross head- quarters at 20 Court sfreet. Chil- dren’s garments cut for sewing are being given out to be finished when it is impractical for individuals to come to the rooms to sew. The head- quarters on Court street are open every day from 9 a. m. to 5 p. m. for sewing, and the West End rooms at 425 West Main street (Hart's block) are open every afternoon from 2 0 5 p. m. The place for holding the weeklv all-day church sewing meetings has been changed from St. Mark’s church to the Baptist church where they will be held beginning Friday, Nov. 16. The sewing committee is again ask- ing for more machines. Can't you are vour machine for a time and loan it to the Red Cross. Here is a chance for the gentlemen to help us out—rent a machine at $1.50 per month and we'll guarantee to keep it “going some.” to act within their states, and the pur- pose of the conference is to enable them to get into touch with each oth- er and with the general supervisory policies here, for mutually informa- tive benefit.
