New Way to
Polish a Stove.
No Waste Odor-or Dirt.

By sprinkling Sitter Stove Polish on the stove
and then rubbing with damp rag and gently
brushing with dry cloth, brilliant, jet black
lustre is obtained. Sitter Stove Polish comes
In large box with a perforated top, through
which the polish is sifted just like peppering a
beefsteak. Sitter Stove Polish is made of pure
powdered graphite, which is not affected by fire,
produces the most brilliant polish, and when
applied, won't rub off. 1t is odorless. 1t never
dries up. 1t does not require soaking in water
before using. A 10 cent box of Sitter Stove
Polish will polish more stoves than three times
its cost in any other polish. Get Sitter Stove
Polish of any dealer at cents box, 10 cent
box contains more than twice as much. Insist
on the yellow label with the hand.

eowpolN,s FOOTBALL ELEVEN
Is Ready for tho Great Game With
Maine, Saturday.

Brunswick, Me-, Oct. 29.-(SpeciaD.-
Bowdoins football squad, this after
noon. went through it's last real prac-
tice before the University of Maine
game on the Whittier Athletic field.
As a result of the enthusiasm aroused
at last nights mass meeting, some 200
students were present, together with
the newly organized band. The feeling
here as to the outcome of the game is
rather an uncertain one. AS to just
who will make the lineup Of the team
cannot be stated at this time, as it is
about an even thing as to whether some
of the injured men will be able to play
or not. With these men in the game
and in good form, Bowdoin's courage
would be considerably improved, but as
it is now. the feeling is not altogether
cheerful.
1t was reported on the campus, this
afternoon, that U of M. supporters.
who We're in town, had offered odds OF
S to on Maine and could find scarcely
any takers at that figure, which added
somewhat to the gloom. 1t is beyond
question. however, that the team will
play for all there is in it, and there are
those who rely on this spirit to make a
good showing for Bowdoin.
1t has been decided that the Univer-
sity of Maine delegation shall occupy
the old grandstand, while Bowdoins
supporters will occupy the new Hub
bard grandstand for the first time,
1t is confidently expected that the
greatest crowd ever on Whittier Ath-
letic field will be there, Saturday. This
being the case, with a band from each
college, and with 200 or 800 Maine sup
porters present, in addition to Bow
doin's entire student body, things
should be lively throughout the game

The many HalloWell friends of Miss
Ethel M. Haley of Richmond, who has
taught the Anterior school in this city
for the past three years, will be glad tt
know of the success of the recitals
given recently by her at Richmond and
at Brunswick. Miss Haley is young
lady of much ability as a teacher and
the results of her work show that her
ambitions in other lines are also vel:
justified. OF the entertainment al
Richmond, the Richmond Bee speaks as
follows: "a good sized audience availed
themselves of the opportunity to wit
ness one of the best entertainments of
high and classic order at the Opera
house, last Friday evening, that has
been their privilege to enjoy for some
time. The recital was given by Miss
Ethel M. Haley, one of Richmond's
most talented young ladies, and Mr. J.
A. Bartlett. who is also richly gifted
as an elocutionist of the first water, as
sisted by the following fine array of
talented artists: Miss Winchell, cellist;
Miss Evelyn Stetson, soloist; Romily
johnson, pianist: c., B. Emerson, solo,
list; Philip F. Chapman, mandolin solo,
list. The young ladies are from Bruins
WICK and the young men are students
at BoWdoin College. The program was
well arranged and was heartily en-
dorsed by the appreciative listeners
Wpo repeatedly encored each and every
number. After warmly praising the
other artists the Bee has this 10 say Of

There is lady in this city who has
invented a new way to bake potatoes
in the morning, when they are often
most wanted and at time when it
takes too much time to wait for the
oven to become hot. The new way is
worthy of patent and the lady may
be surprised to see her device given
away for the benefit of other house
keepers, who are supposed to have
everything in time for breakfast on
short notice, oven hot, or oven luke
warm. This new simple and quick
way is to place on the front stove cover
AN asbestos mat and on this mat place
your potatoes, put tin or agate basin
bottom up over the potatoes, covering
them completely and over this frs
basin place another larger one which
will leave hot air chamber betwee,
the two. basins. 1t will require but a
short time to wait before you can re-
move your potatoes baked to youl
taste.
