A DELICIOUS APPETlZIkG
CEREAL.
Malt Breakfast Food is Honest Food
That Tastes Good.

Ask the next dyspeptic you meet
what breakfast cereal he eats. The
chances are that he will tell you one
of the ready cooked cereals. Ask the
man or woman who is in good health
if they have cold breakfasts, consist
ing of a handful of dried chips; the
reply will surely be that they eat good,
hot breakfasts.
Malt Breakfast Food appeals to both
sick and well, because of it's delicious
appetizing flavor, and it's practical
food value. o5e
The best prescription that can, be
given the dyspeptic, is to eat a warm
breakfast, and not injure the poor, old
stomach further with cold, ehippy
breakfast.
Malt Breakfast Food furnishes all the
dement's of perfect mental and physi-
cal vigor. 1t is the ideal breakfast
cereal. 1t is the only one that is not
advertised as a cure for the different
ills to which man is heir. 1t is adVer-
tiscd simply as real food, of delicious
flavor. that is satisfying.
1t is also the most economical of
the different cereals, as two-pound
full weight package costs the same as
a fourteen ounce package OF the
ready -to-eat' cereals, and when
cooked for the table, makes eight times
as much food.
Talk 1t over with your grocer; ask
him what breakfast cereal is the favor
tie with his best trade; we believe he
will tell you Malt Breakfast Food gives
the most satisfaction of any of the
cereals he sells.
A beautiful carbon photograph is in
every package of Malt Breakfast FOOD
while larger photographs, that would
sell for two or three dollars at the art
stores are given in return for the cou-
pons taken from the package.

Mrs. Abbie Barber.

Mrs. Abbie Barber, widow of the
late Emile Barber, passed away at her
residence 3 Laurel street, early YES
terday morning, after a painful illness
of several weeks, of cirrhosis of the
liver, aged IS years.
Mrs Barber was native of Ireland
but came to Augusta some 35 years
ago and had resided here ever since
Soon after coming here, she and her
husband established the famous French
dive house, in lower Water street.
where by industry and the maintenance
of a high standard or work and of
business integrity, they built up a large
business which had wide connections
throughout the State. 1t was Mrs. Bar.
bier's pride to the day of her death
that all she had was won by the
sweat of her brow"
Mrs. Barber was deVout and con-
sistent member of the Episcopal church,
a woman of genial. kindly disposition.
and increasing beneVOlence. She had
no sympathy with the sluggard or the
shiftless but she was ever ready to
minister with a cheering word to those
who were i'm trouble, or to give money
in need. Few working women could
claim so many friends among all classes
of society.
Numerous relatives. among whom are
three sisters Miss Hannah Humphreys,
who attended her in her last illness;
Mrs. Rebecca Peeva, of Cooper's Mills,
and Mrs. Jane A. Hall of Damariscotta;
a niece, Mrs. Ida f. Barber of this
city. and three nephews, Everett S.
Hall of Augusta, Arthur c. Hall of
Waterville, ana Emile 3. Hall of Dam
ariscotta, survive her.
The funeral will take place at her
late residence, Thursday morning at
1890 o'clock, the Rev. Geo. F. Degen
officiating. 1t was one of the last wish
es of the deceased that there should
be no flowers, a wish quite in keeping
with her simple and transformations
character.

have in his barn or closely attached to
it a silo of some kind. The indications
are that there will be light crop of
hay and grain raised in Maine this
year. 1t u.s. therefore. especially impor-
tant that the farmer should have some
good crop planted with which to fill a
silO. that he may have a cheap, nu-
tritious and palatable food to help
carry his stock through the coming
winter. In many of our pastures the
feed is not as abundant as in former
years and must be supplemented by
some cheap food, and some of our pro-
gressiVe farmers are raising sufficient
quantity of ensiage for supplemental
summer feeding as we'll as for winter
use.
Will you please give US your ideas in
relation to the best methods of con-
structing a sllO your experience in en-
sling oats and peas, and what you have
found to be the most economical and
desirable plants for ensilage; your
method of filling the silo; if you have
tried both cutting corn and putting it
in whole please give results in each
case; state what benefits you have de-
rived from the silo, and any other sug-
geStionS which may occur to you. We
should also like to have your ideas in
relation to the best SOiling crops for
summer and fall use.
All questions which you may ask will
be answered as fully as possible. Please
give your careful attention to the fol-
lowing crop questions:
State condition of grass as compared
with last season; acreage of grain, as
compared with average; acreage of
corn; will potato culture receive more
attention this year than usual? condi-
ton of small fruits; how have fruits
blossomed. average recokned at 100 per
cent: Apples. plums, small fruits; what
is the leading crop for the silo in your
vicinity? have you a silo? with what
ensilage crops have you had the best
results? Have you had any expert
encc in raising japanese Mallet? If
SO please state results.

STATE HOUSE.
Flag Day to Be Celebrated on
June ID.
Many Changes Have Been Made in
National Guard.
Commissioner Gilman Asking Farmers
About Crops.

Governor Hill has been requested to
issue a proclamation to the people of
the State urging the observance of Sun
day, June IA. as flag day. 1t has been
suggested that the school children, re-
ligiOus societies and all classes of cit
liens join in observing this day in
proper manner. 1t was on this day in
1777 that the first flag of stars and
stripes was adopted. 1t was designed
by General Washington and made by
Mrs. Elizabeth Ross. 1t has often been
said in fervid Fourth of July orations
| that the red in our nations flag meant
| valOr, the white purity and the blue
loyalty, but Washington gave a senti
ment that is even grander. Gazing
upon it, he said:
We take the star from heaven, the
red from our mother country, separat-
| ing it by white stripes, thus showing
that we have separated from her, and
the white stripes shall go down to pos
terity representing liberty"
| Each stripe in the flag of today rep
resents the 13 original colonies, and
each star represents the states of the
| Union.
In view of the many sacred traditions
which cluster around the flag of the
nation, Governor Hill would be very
glad if the people of Maine would ar
range to have exercises appropriate to
the occasion and that they be general
and public in their character.

ATHLETES NOT TO CROSS SEA
Amateur Union After Long Discuss
sion Refuses Sporting Inva-
sion of England.

NEW YORK, Jan. 26.-The Amateur
Athletic union will not sanction the pro-
posed invasion of England by a number Of
American college athletes, under direction
of George w. Overton Of the University Of
Pennsylvania.
George T. Sullivan, secretary of the Anna
teur Athletic union, today said:
"Mr. Overton's request that the Amateur
Athletic union give sanction to an athletic
team to tour Great Britain and the con-
tinent was thoroughly discussed by the
board of governors, but they find them
selves unable to grant It, mainly because
the affair is in charge of an individual and
not an organized club. The union cannot
see its way clear to imperil the American
standard.

as instanced by the games of 1895, At that
meeting the Englishmen were under the
management of a gentleman appointed by
the parent body to take run care of the
finances while the men competed IN the

ings reflect nothing but credit on those con-
cerned. whereas meeting with numerous
foreign concerns cannot but do harm TO our

CHoYNSKI DEFEATS MAHER
Beaten Boxer Seems Afraid of OppO-
nent, who knocks Him Out
in Second.

PHILADELPHIA, Jan, 26.-Peter Maher
was knocked out by Joe Choynski in the
second round of what was to be a six-round
bout at the Washington Sporting cluD.
Maher was apparently afraid of his OPP
ponent and after two minutes of sparring
in the second went down from a left-hand
swing on the jaw and was counted out.
In the first round Choynsk used a left
hand lab to good effect and by fast foot
work kept away from Mahdr's vicious
swings. He began playing for Makers face
and the Irish champion grew wary, Find
ing that Mahei was becoming fearful
Choynski resorted to jabs an the face, with
the result that Maher became confused and
was unable to return the blows.
In the second round 1t was plain sailing
for Choynski. Maher was slow and seemed
unable to avoid his opponents blows.
Finally Choynski landed fairly on Makers
law with soporiic effect.
