SUNDAY School Field Day.

There was considerable interest shown
at the meeting at the Methodist church
Wednesday evening to consider the sug'
gestion of field day for the Sunday
Schools of this vicinity. A good num-
ber of representatives of different schools
were present, and the suggestion was
favored.
1t was decided to hold the field day at
the fair grounds, some time during the
week beginning July II.
There will be athletic sports, and an ad-
dress by some speaker Of ability and
experience in Sunday School work
is in progress with w.
W. Main, secretary of the Massachusetts,
Baptist Sunday School convention, who
it is thought may be secured There
will also be laymen's banquet on the
evening preceding the field day, and ii
is planned to have him present at that.
The superintendent of the South
Paris and Norway schools were made

know that they are now suffering from various

aches, stomachaches; they know that they have
pain in their joints. in their neck in their side,
In their muscles They know that they feel weak,

can't do their work as they should. They know
that they have tried doctors OF all kinds, and

Some Of them think that they have certain dis.

All they know is that their health is far below

One thing that they do want-that everybody
wants - is relief from suffering freedom from

strength. They want to feel as they once felt

how hard they work.
A free trial bottle Of sagwa has proven to be
the best and quickest means of breaking down
the skepticism and prejudice OF such ailing peo

or have been ailing so long that they look upon
themselves as "Chronics'' or incurable. Wher
ever, In New England, at these Kickapoo Ex

A large number attended the reception
given at Good Cheer Hall Friday even
ing TO Rev. J. II. Little, the retiring pas
tor of the Universalist church, and his
family. Besides those of the Univers.
alist church and parish, there were many
present from the other churches of the
village, and number from Norway.
The hall had been made especially at
tractive by decorations in which apple
blossoms were employed TO good effect,
and the addition of art squares, chairs,
etc, to the ordinary furnishings.
In the receiving line were Mr.. and Mrs.
| j. A. Kenney, Mr. and Mrs. w. l..

between two and three hundred, had
assembled, the gathering was called to
order by j. A. Kenney, who said that in
acting as chairman, he had no fixed pro-
gramme, and should call on any one as
he desired. Prayer was offered by Rev.

Base Ball.
NORWAY II. S. 8; PARIS H. S. l..


One awful inning tells the story of
Paris defeat in its last game with Nor
way High played at the fair grounds
Saturday afternoon. The weather was
threatening throughout the contest, but
there was not enough rain to interfere
with the game to any extent. The at
tendance was very good. Paris played
exactly the same team as it has played
in the other contests, and the only
change in the Norway team was that
Partridge and Stanley exchanged places.
Neither team had any chance to score
in the first two innings, but here is the
way Paris presented the game to Norway
in the third. Frost sent an easy ground
er to Witham and was safe on that
players bad error, Stevens reached first
on fielder's choice but the ball got to
second too late to get Frost, klain flied
out, Cuttings error on Kimball's little
tap filled the bases, Haskell relieved the
situation somewhat by striking out and
| it looked as if Paris might pull out all
right, but this was not to be. Stanley
hit to Curtis, who couldn't pick the ball
up, and the first run of the game was
scored, Geary bit one bv Rawson. This
chance was rather difficult, but in my
opinion, Rawson should have got his
man at first. Two runs went in on this
slip-up. Partridge hit an easy one
which went through Haggett and run
number four came in. Barker then got
the first clean hit of the inning, and the
fifth aud last run that Norway scored in
the game went over the plate. Frost
coming up for the second time in the
inning made the third out, Curtis to
Witham.
Paris only run came in the eighth.
With one out Curtis drew base on balls
and went to third while Barrows was
being put out at first. The decision on
this play was very close and the out
came at time when Paris chances look
ed good for some runs. Rawson sent a
hit in to right field and Curtis scored,
Rawson stole second but Witham's eff
fort was fly to Geary.
The work of both pitchers was excel
| lent and very even. Stevens held Paris
to three hits, but he gave three bases on
balls and hit one batter. Norway was
credited with four hits of Cutting. and
would have had two more had not Klain
been called out twice for cutting first
base after hitting cleanly. This was
foolish and costly ball playing, for there
is little doubt but each hit would have
been good for two bases had he gone the
full distance to first. Cuttings control
was perfect and with good support he
would have made Norway work hard for
victory.
Norway played very steady game
throughout the contest, their only error
being made by Partridge on an easy
chance. The Paris outfield played its
usual good game, and the nfield did we'll
except in the third inning, but one in
ming like that is very liable to put any
game on ice for the opposing team. The
score:

ural hunger, which helps nature to help herself,
which cures even seyerest stomach ailments In
four to six weeks and completely restores the
digestive powers.
This demonstration is one Of series OF public
demonstrations. which have been given during
the last SIX months In Maine, New Hampshire.
sachusetts, and Rhode Island. These dem.
onstra,iops represent one of the most interest.
ing movements of the present day.
Every body has his own theory about medical
treatment. Some people believe that mort
diseases can be cured by the surgeons knife,
and so they cut and slash and MAIN every time
they get chance. Other sects believe that
strong drugs In smallest doses create the best
results In medicines. And SO they treat with
medicines that everybody has to take with grea,
fear lest too large doses be taken by accident, OF
lest the drugs remain In the system even after
the diseases In question are apparently cured
There is another school of medicine-if one
can call It medicine-which believes that practi
caly all diseases can be cured by mental
treatment.
Then there is a fourth school Of medicine
which is so important that 1t is divided into vari
GUS sects This KickapOo demonstration is In
behalf Of this fourth school.
This fourth class believes that the surgeons
knife should never be used, except as last ex
tremity; that dangerous mineral and similar
products shOull practically never be used; that
mental healing is a fad which is already dying
out because It has no solid foundation Of &C
complished results to stand on.
This school believes that medicines composed
OF roots, baIks twigs, leaves, seeds, and berries
arc the most beneficial. because they assist
Nature in the right way and Nature makes the
cure.
They 90 back to the Indians. They have
