The extraordinary list of attractions
which c. y. Ellis announces for his
course of concerts in Portland City hall
this winter has attracted indeed I'M
usual attention throughout the whole
Of this part Of the State. 1t was
thought that the climax of enthusiasm
had been reached last year in the first
course but it seems that Mr.. Ellis has
been able to improve even on that eX-
traOrdinary list. Two concerts by the
Boston symphony Orchestra with such
great SOloistS as Nine. Gadski and Miss
Marie Hall; a concert by the celebrated
Longy Club with his quaint music for
wind Instruments: the Boston SYM
phony Quartet itself Il great attrac-
ton, Dut this year assisted by such a
supreme artist i'll the art of song as
eSting miscellaneous concert With Ster-
ling artists like Mime. Corinne Rider
Kelsey, Nine. Olga Samarom and
Myr0n ". Whitney. Jr.-this certainly
makes a record in concert giving III the
State Of Maine.
The sale of season tickets will open

Strong Evidence
Of Faith.
Bowditch G. Webster or Percy W..
Means Guarantee that Homei Will
Cure the Worst Case of Catarrh in
Augusta.

When two of the most reputable
druggists in Augusta guarantee that
a medicine will effect a cure or they
will refund the money. it speaks volumes
as to the merits of that remedy. 1t is
in this way that Bowditch q Webster
and Percy w. Means are selling Hyo-
mel, the treatment that has made so
many cures of both acute and chronic
cases of catarrh in Augusta and vicin-
ity.
Hyomei is not n pill, nor is it a
liquid that has to be taken with a
Tablespoon or WincglaSs. Just breathe
it by the aid of an inhaler that comes
with every outfit, and benefit will be
seen from the first treatment.
The complete Hyomei outfit costs
but $1.00, and it includes an inhaler,
dropper and sufficient Hyomei for sew
eral weeks treatment.
Remember that if Hyomei does not
cure you ROWditch & Webster and
Percy w. Means will refund your mon
| cy. This is a good time to cure ca
tarrh by this natural method and pre-
vent catarrhal colds that are 50 COM
| mon at this season.

Included in the forthcoming report of
the commissioner of highways, which
is now in course of preparation, there
will be, in tabulated form. a list Of the
towns in the State, showing the amount
expended by each of them on State
roads, and also the amount which each
has received from the State. as State
and. This list has been completed for
the years 1901. 1902 and 1903, with the
following totals: In the year 1901. IA
towns took advantage Of the law, and
received from the State a total of $13I5
and on the following year SO towns re-
ceive,i from the same source tire sum
OF $J551.36. In 1903. 206 towns re-
ceivod a total of $2S, 2G165. In 1904 the
amount allowed by the Governor and
council was Sc 90, but the list Of
towns receiving State aid on that year
has not yet been tabulated. In con-
ncction with the above statement it
should be explained that the Legisla-
ture Of 1903 raised the maximum
amount that towns might receive, from
$780, which was the maximum for the
years 1901 and 1902, to 5000.

With a view to creating an improve
ment in the travelling library service
which is carried on at the State library
the library commission has decided to
renCvate these libraries. many of which
have become somewhat dilaDida ted
from long use. by substituting therefor
new books, so that in the future these
libraries will be in better condition. It
is also proposed that in making up
these libraries in the future, they will
be made in blocks of five, all alike so
that the patrons of the libraries will
have less trouble in getting the books
that they wish. At present there are
in the possession of the State library
12J of these travellers, and certain Ii
praries in the list are very popular be-
ing in constant demand. 1t will thus
be easily seen that the present arrange
merit is a cause of much disappoint-
ment to readers who desire TO secure Il
certain book, and to avoid that diff
Guilty. and to enable the State library
to supply what is wanted, it is pro-
posed to make up duplicates of each
new number to the extent of five, and
the books of the older libraries in the
list, which through long usage have
ceased to be as popular as the new
ones. will be renovated by the addition
of more modern fiction, SO that they
will be rendered more attractive. There
has just been completed at the State
library of 100 travelling libraries, show
ing the number of times that each book
has been read, and also the COMPARE
tive popularity of history. biography
travels, nature and fiction. 1t also
gives an approximate idea of what
portion Of n library should be com
posed of each class. The above
changes will constitute a decided
change in the travelling library ser
vice. and one that will surely be APP
preciated by the patrons.

The National Biscuit Co.

That scientific baking and modern
methods have done much to perfect the
cracker as an article of food was given a
practical and interesting demonstration
at the Stanley Opera House, Wednesday
afternoon, when a reception was given
by the National Biscuit Company, which
was largely attended by the ladies of the
town. The room was tastefully decorat.
ed for the occasion and courteous ladies
and gentlemen told of the merits ofthe pro-
ducts OF this company and served with
tea and cocoa samples OF number
of varieties of their bakers art. Among
these were oysterettes, butter-thin biscuit,
graham crackers, social tea biscuit, fro
tana, and zu.zu ginger snaps. Every
lady will be pleased to know that all air,
dust and moisture is excluded from the
products of this company because OF the
care with which they are put up in
the packages in which they are purchas-
ed, and that all this goodness is assured
to her by the trademark of the National
Biscuit Co., on each end OF every pack
age. Nabisco sugar waters and Festino
Almonds were served as dessert, and if
you have never tasted of them you
should make a purchase at once at a
local grocer's as they are two of the
most delicious products of the company.
The musical feature OF the afternoons
entertainment, rendered by Mrs. Brooks
orchestra contributed largely to the
enjoyment OF the guests.
