COMPLIMENTARY BANQUET
Too AdeIphian Literary Society of
kent's Hill at ReadfieId,

Readfield, Me-, Feb S.-(Special).-
One of the most brilliant and happy
social events the village of Readfield
has seen in years took place here, last
evening.
The occasion was complimentary
banquet rendered to the Adelphian Lit
erary Society of kent's Hill by a
wealthy Philadelphia citizen, who
wishes his name withheld. The affair
took place at the Elmwood, the new
hotel here.
The decorations and arrangements
about the hotel were simply beautiful
and no pains or expense had been
spared to complete this result. Indeed
the expense incurred in the purchase
of ribbons and flowers alone, is eSti-
mated at several hundred dollars. The
rooms were one mass of yellow and
white ribbons, roses and pinkS of the
same color, and magnificent palms.
These hueS We're used in Difference to
the fact that they are the colors of the
Adelphian Society. The large dining
nall had also been papered and painted
anew in order to aid in the beautiful
blending of these two cQlors. The whole
hotel, in fact, seemed like fairy scene.
The guests, about 30 in number ar
rived about $50 in teams delegated for
the purpose by the host. From this
time until 7.45 was occupied IN dressing
for the banquet At that time the
party marched to the dining hall to the
strains of the piano, played by Miss Os-
borne of Winthrop. Y Beautifully en-
bnccad i'm UQ1lnyy nd cd
with gold cord. A bright thing con-
nected with this was the wording of
the outside cover. ttread as follows:
Complimentary Luncheon to the Adel-
phian Society by a ! Phil-adelphian."
Philadelphia, as already stated being
the home of the host.
The loving cup, a marvel of beauty
was placed in the center of the table.
1t was brought by the host from his
Philadelphia home especially for the
occasion.
A unique feature was the Adelphian
cake. In it was contained a silver 25-
cent piece and a dime. 1t was cut in
to 30 pieces-one for each guest-and
to the young lady who obtained the
quarter was to be given beautiful
brooch neck pin, and to the one secur-
ing the dime a fine stick pin. Miss
Helen Stinson of New Sharon, secured
the former and Miss Crystal Chase of
Kent's Hill, the latter.
After the banquet, music both in
strumental and vocal, was furnished by
Miss Osborne of Winthrop, Mr.. H. F.
Hill of Newton, Mass, and Miss Venes-
ga Brown of Kent's Hill.
All in all, it was a great success, no
small credit being due to Mr.. and Mrs.
Stevens of the Elmwood. Out-of-town
guests were Pres. Berry of Kent's Hill,
Miss Lillian Berry of Waterville, Miss
Chase and Miss Cobb of Gardiner, and
Mr.. Hill of Newton, Mass.

Richmond Rebekahs Pay Pleasant Visit
to DR.. D. S. Richards.

Richmond, Me-, Feb. 9.-(SpeciaD..
One of the most enjoyable events
which the members of Beulah Rebekah
Lodge, No. %, of Richmond, has par
ticipated in, this winter, was the social
held at the home of Miss Julia C. Rich
ards on Saturday evening. Sister Rich
ards invited us for that evening that
we might assist in celebrating the 18th
anniversary of the birth of her father,
David S. Richards, M. D., who is also
a member of our lodge.
Everything was a complete though
pleasant surprise to the DOCTOR There
was a pleasing entertainment consist
iEg of selections from the zonophone by
Bro. j. Clark Flagg; reading, by Sister
Annie Mansir: singing by Miss Ruth
Crocker: piano solos by Sister Lillian
Brown. and a recitation by the doctor
himself which was given in a very
pleasing manner
During the evening the noble grand
of the lodge, Sister Cora E. Weeks,
stepped beside the doctor and addressed
him i'll the following words:
Brother Richards. we have assem-
bled here. this evening, to celebrate
with you your 10Th birthday, and we
have with us a token OF our esteem
upon which we have caused to be
placed the three links, which is one of
the emblems of our beloved order. They
belong to that chain of moral princi-
pies that bind us together as brothers
and sisters. In behalf of Beulah Re-
bekah Lodge 1 now present you with
this birthday cake as token of our
esteem in Friendship, Love and Truth
At first the doctor was SO affected
that he could not utter q word, but he
soon recovered and, though at first IN
a trembling voice, began to express his
thanks to his brothers and sisters In
the lodge for their kindly thought of
him at this time. Soon he was speak
ing in his old-time pleasing manner
which SO many of US well remember
who have been privileged to listen to
him in the past. When he had finished
l think we all felt that sit was more
blessed to give than receive" when we
realized how much pleasure we were
giving our friend and brother by visit
ing him at this time.
Refreshments of cake. coffee and
chocolate were served.

THRILLING WITH YOUR HEALTH
Is Like Playing With a Loaded Gun.
If you Have Kidney Trouble Attend
to it at Once.

1t is easy to tell whether your Kid
neys or bladder are diseased. Take a
bottle or glass tumbler and fill it with
urine. If there is sediment pow
der-like substance-after standing a
day and night, if it is pale or discol-
ored, ropy or stringy, there is some
thing wrong with the Kidneys. Other
sure signs of disease are a desire to
urinate often, pain in the back, or if
your urine stains linen.
There is no question that DR.. David
Kennedy's Favorite Remedy is the best
and surest medicine in the world for
diseases of the Kidneys, Liver, Blad-
der and Blood, Rheumatism, Dyspep-
STA, Chronic Constipation, and the sick
nesses peculiar to women. 1t quickly
relieves and cures inability to hold
urine and the necessity of getting up a
number of times during the night, and
puts an end to the scalding pain when
passing urine.
The Rev. Henry P. Miller, pastor
Baptist Church, Spartenburg, S. c.,
writes:
For eleven years 1 suffered with kid
ney, liver and heart troubles. SWIM
ming in the head, dull headache and
numbness of the limbs. Several ply
sicians prescribed for me and l took
different medicines, but none of them
did me any good. then began the use
of DR.. David Kennedy's F'ayorite Rem
edy, and in about two weeks was en-
tirely WELL"

nedy's Favorite Remedy in the new so
cent size and the regular $1.OO size

Esther of Camelot calculates well and is

When Esther OF Camelot first came
across Ready Bits she figured thus: Most

A cup of coffee and dish of Ready Bits
ia just what they want. A package of
Ready Bits at any grocer's costs only 10
cents. and contains enough food for Is
breakfasts. No cooking. no labor. no fuel,
no time is required in its preparation. be-
cause Ready Bits is ready to-serve. With
coffee and cream. the total first cost of a
Ready Bits breakfast is about Sc. maybe
less. As l get 25c. for that breakfast, I
can stand it. That's about as good as
running corner drug store, anyhow"
So Esther of Camelet sailed in with

ceeded 3Not only did everyone breakfast
on this delicious, whole wheat, maltosed
cereal, but it wasn't long until it was the

The storm of Sunday gave the Elec-
trio Road men the hardest and first
serious battle with the snow for the
winter, and eventually tied up the
whole system until Monday morning.
During the early hours of the storm,
Sunday afternoon, schedule time was
made on the main line and the Togus
and Winthrop branches, but as the
snow grew deeper the cars began to
lose time, and kept doing so until soon
after o'clock in the evening. when all
attempts to run regular were aban-
doned. But the cars We're kept moving
to keep the line open, and the snow
plows were brought into the fight. BY
this time, however the storm had as
sumed the proportions of a blizzard,
and the snow packed in upon the rails
in such way that it was almost i'm
possible to turn a wheel and gain a
foot upon the irons. Then the cars be-
came stalled at various points along
the line. and there remained for the
night. And out on the Winthrop line
| one of the plows was for awhile in the
same fix. But the crews We're kept al
work. and as the storm practically
ceased at about 1 o'clock. the struggle
| from that time was not so severe. The
main line was cleared so that cars were
running from Hallowell at $50 Mon
day morning. and from Gardiner at
o'clock, on regular trips. On the Win
throp and Togus lines the blockade
| was more formidable, and the drifting
snow filled in the track almost as fast
as it could be broken out. On the To-
gus line there was car and a plow of
| the irons, and though the cars ran te
the Insane hospital the greater part OF
the day, no cars were run through te
| Togus until $50 p. NJ. The first cal
from Winthrop arrived in town at 40
having left Winthrop at about noon.
