A Pleasant Event.

The 10th anniversary of the birth Of
Rev. &. w. llinckley, who has charge
of the Good will Homes. East Fairfield,
was very pleasantly celebrated Thurs
day last when friends from Oakland
and Waterville were present. All We're
invited to pass the day at Willow Wood,
Mr.. lIinekley's pleasant residence and
the boys had a good time in various
sports under the direction of Manager

was served under the willows.
The boys presented Mr.. lIinckley with
beautiful etching by Walter Cox. an

and prayer that he might live long and
be the manager of Good VIII Homes for
forty years more.

Value of Good Cooking.

the kitchen is the most important end II

whole establishment is wrong. 1t de-

the fate of sermons, legislative bills and
destiny Of empires. The kitchen knife
has often cut off the brightest prospects.

by direct chemical action. One case of
the kind was in large factory. A food
caused the water to rise to a pile of iron

they developed great heat and set fire
to the nearby woodwork. The building
was entirely destroyed.
Another case is still more remarkable
Several engines were throwing water
