KN|GHT ITS OF KEY.
Railroad photographers Have
Pleasant Meeting at Watervi|le.
Public Session in Afternoon With
Several Interesting Actresses.
Other Sessions at Which the Members
Discuss Business.

Waterville. Me-, March S.-(SpeciaD.
The railroad telegraphers of the
State, or as many of them as could get
away from the key for a few hours,
gathered in the city, Sunday, to listen
to speeches and music, discuss subjects
and plans of interest to their order
and to have q general good time. The
day was unfavorable for such a meet
ing and the keys tick on Sundays as
well as other days, SO that only small
share of the 215 or SO along the Maine
Central could be present. But there
were something like 80 or 40 present
during the day and they had a very
pleasant time.
A meeting for the members of the
order only, was held in the forenoon, at
which matters of interest were dis
cussed. At o'clock in the afternoon a
public meeting was held in the Odd
Fellow hall on Common street, and
there was a good attendance at this.
H. N. Bates of Gardiner, presided at
this meeting and music was furnished
by Halls orchestra.
Three fine addresses were made that
We're much enjoyed, all by local men.
The first was by Hon. Warren G. Phil
brook. ex-mayor of the city, who had
for his subject Employer and En-
ploye" He handled this in his own
graceful and forcible manner and said
much that will be remembered by all
who listened to him.
The second was by Rev. A. d.
Dodge, who had Organization" for his
subject. The third and last was by
Fred W. Clair and his subject was
Government Ownership of Railroads"
the same which he discussed so ably at
the annual banquet of the Board OF
Trade and which he has been giving a
good deal of study of late. All these
speeches were short, bright and pithy
and made a very pleasing feature of
the meeting.
AT the conclusion of this session there
was another snort one for the members
and then supper was served at the hall
followed by another session. The So
cial feature of the meeting was an i'm
portant one as it gave the members of
the order from various parts of the
State an opportunity to get acquainted
with the men they are doing business
with almost every day over the wires.
The sessions for the members only
gave opportunity for thorough discus
sions Of matters pertaining to the bust
ness and the order that could hardly
fail to be beneficial to all those in at
tendance.
The meeting on the whole was sue
cess and was very pleasant for those
able to be present.

ASKING QUESTIONS.
An Inquiry Changed Mans Whole
Life.

When you get man to recognize
that his bad feelings come from inn
proper food and that he can get well
by using scientific food, the battle is
half won. One of New York's business
men says:-
Il was troubled for long time with
trouble, and had taken various medi-
cines but with no good results. l con-
Guided to see how a change of food
would affect me. / never cared par
ticularly for cereals of any kind but
ate meat and pastry continually and
drank coffee.
l found on inquiring, that Grape Nuts
were highly spoken of and decided to
give them q trial To say l was sur
prised at the result would not begin to
do Justice to my feelings. My head
aches left me: my brain became clearer
and active: my attacks of indigestion
grew fewer and fewer until they ceased
entirely. and where I once went home
tired tagged out and indisposed to
any exertion whatever, / now found a
different state of affairs.
My color was good, my muscles
strong and firm and fully equal to any
thing / asked of them, instead of soft
and fabby. I live two miles from my
business and walk it daily back and
forth, if the weather permits. / am SIS
years old and feel as well and strong
as when was 80, and can ride 70 miles
a day on a bicycle without feeling any
bad results" Name given by Postum
