do for him he died quietly soon after
noon
FIR. Jouvin had not been long in ST.
Mary's parish, but during the seven
months of his work here he had en-
deared himself to the hearts of his
people and was building up strong
church where a disorganized work
had been given into his hands. He
came here from Fairfield in August
The following from the Fairfield Jour
nal shows in what reverence and es-
TEEN his memory is held by the peo-
pie of his parish there:
The news of his death will come as
distinct shock to his wide circle of
friends in Fairfield and vicinity. He
was more than an ordinary man. Com
ing to Fairfield when the church was
poor and struggling, he by his energy.
ambition and personality, had built it
up to be one of the strongest churches
in the State. In doing SO he had won
the love of every member of his par
ish. and the deep respect of everyone
who had the pleasure of his acquaint-
ance. With the Fairfield church in a

prospects of little rest from his hard
work of years, he was suddenly or
dered to take up the work of the
parish in Skowhegan. which was then
in very badly disorganized state. AL
though 1t meant plunging into the
hardest work of his life, he uncom-
plainingly left his comparatively easy
work here, to take up the struggle
there. He left here in August and
since that time reports have reached
here of rapid progress being made
towards church unity in his new field
of endeavor
His loss is heavy one to the Cath
olic church of Maine. but hardest of
all does it fall on the two parishes
of Skowhegan and Fairfield, the form
er of which he was rapidly bringing
to prosperity while in the latter his
loss is that of father"
The funeral services were held at
st. Mary's church art II a. m. Monday,
and were conducted by Bishop Walsh
of the Portland diocese, assisted by

Rev. FIR. Hamel of Lewiston was the

Y. NJ. c. A. CONCERT A
GREAT SUCCESS
Every Number Was Followed by Ex-
pressiOns from the Audience for
"MOre of the Same"

The concert given Monday evening
under the auspices of the Y. NJ. c. A.
boys was indisputably the most en-
joyable entertainment afforded towns
people in the Opera House this sea-
son. The Lakewood Band was right
there with the berries filling the
house with melodies and harmonies
THAT rang pleasantly in the ears of
the listeners long after they reached
their homes. The Poet and Peasant
overture was especially well done,
understood by the time the last notes
of this grand overture died away that
the Lakewood Band is truly musi-
cal organization and when led by Ell
mer Towne plays with color and per-
lection that satisfies the most criti-
cal brass band enthusiast
Mrs. Stewards singing with accom-
paniment by Mrs. White and Miss
Lewis was a real treat to music low
ers, and the fact that the music was
written by Mrs White added interest
ana satisfaction to pleasure. An en-
core was kindly given to this number;
Serenade by Gounod
1t is hardly necessary to say that
Mrs. Whites violin solos were music
extraordinary; and this was especial
ly true of the selection composed by
herself. For an encore Mrs. White
played Sarasate's Spanish Dance.
Miss Andrews threw the whole house
into fit of laughter each time she
came forth with humorous readings,
and the persistent applause of the
laughter stricken was kindly and gra-
ciously answered with encores quite
as effective in convulsing the fun
lovers as her first readings. The
sentiment of the fouse was, openly,
Gee! that was funny"
We guess that Master Victor Rob-
bins came down to play to us on his
cornet with an eye to making Madi-
son famous, for that evening "Madi-
son" meant Victor Robbins. and spite
of the fact that, as Mr.. Towne de-
clared, the young master OF the best
loved of horns was playing under diff
ficulties, the listeners were delighted
with the fine technique that he show
ed and the clear steady note 80 pleas
ing to the ear.

Calvin Eaton one of the Oldest res
idents OF Skowhegan, died last Sat

after a long illness with cancer. Mr..
Eaton was born in 1927 on the Eaton
Farm in East Skowhegan. now own

made that his home, when he went to
California to seek his fortune in the
mines. Ten years later he returned
to the old homestead and had been a
prosperous farmer there until about
five years ago. he moved into town and
retired. He was married in 1866 to

Albert +. Jewett. Candidate for COun-
ty Commissioner.

AS stated in his announcement Mr.
Jewett failed TO get the nomination
on the Republican ticket two years
ago, but it does not appear that his
failure was due 10 any fault OF his but
to party complications in the caucus.
Mr.. JeWett IS a farmer and lives about
a mile and a half out of tn village.
1t is point in his favor that he has
no conhning occupation but is able
to leave his work al any moment TO
attend to any duty that calls him.
George Tibbetts. Who retires at the
close of ihis term. lives in what may
be said TO be the same district in
which Mr. Jewett resides. but as a
matter of fact Skowhegan has not
leen very successful in placing
representative on the county board.
Mr.. Tibbetts home is in the northern
part of the town of Fairfield 1t
cannot be argued that it is necessary
for Skowhegan to have representa-
tive on the board but. surely. ii is
desirable to have representation from
the town once in a while In the last
caucus Mr.. Jewett easily carried the
town of Skowhegan.

The Summer Coat.

One OF the striking features Of the
summer coat Is its lining. OF soft
foulard in some of the most attract
i've designs. 1t generally contributes
to striking whole.
White serge Is still In high favor;
oyster gray and tan linen are delight
fully heavy In the new basket weaves,
while woolen materials are loose
enough to afford comfort without an
overburdening warmth.
The summer coat Is ornamented
with a marine collar or with long re-
vers that cross and button quite far
down.
Metal and tortoiseshell buttons are
used on the summer coat and huge
pockets are not lacking.
Keep In mind these points when
planning this very necessary article

The Nlsltlna Nurse.

What boon to suffering humanity
Is the visiting nurse. In so many
small towns and cities she is sup
ported entirely by the Visiting Nurses
association. and donations from pub
lie spirited citizens.
In the poor home she comes as an
angel of cheer, staying for an hour or
two, to give the patient bath. leave
directions for the care of the sick one,
smoothing the rough places. and leav-
ing the home comfortable and hope
full.
For those who are able to pay for
visit from the nurse. many being glad
to avail themselves of this good care,
a simple fee is paid which goes into
the Visiting Nurses association treas
ury. The ladies forming this associa.
tion have monthly meetings, provide
bedding and infants clothing for
those who are poor. and unprovided.
She shows the home nurse how to
read the clinical thermometer and
tells her never to take the tempera-
ture of patient just after giving very
hot or very cold liquids, or after n
meal. as these processes change the
temperature.
Never tell patient what the ther-
mometer indicates. Give him an
evasive answer.
The temperature of normal per.
! son is 9S rs. and any deviation indi-
Gates that something is wrong.
Never wear creaking shoes or a
rustling gown, or sit in rocking
chair that squeaks. or the floor under
1t groans with your weight. for all
these things slight in themselves. are
| torture to an irritable patient. The
| rattling of newspaper is often
enough to make them want to scream.
The visiting nurse will also show
you how to count the pulse. In an
adult ~ beats to the minute is nor.
NAL, though 1t may vary Respirations
are from is to % in the adult These
may vary slightly, but above 80 or be-
low 12 look for trouble. The counting
of the respirations should always be
done without the patients knowledge
as he then breathes naturally.

EASY ADJUSTMENT OF FRILLS
Device That Goes Far Toward Ma
king Life Easier Is Described
Below.

Among the latest ideas for making
life easier are frills ready to be ad-
justed, with a few minutes work, to
the underclothing or the flap of a
blouse or pillow cases.
These frills can be had in various
designs, some of them the material
hemstitched or with lines of drawn
work edged with torchon lace; others
with tiny lines of beading, again fin
ished with embroidery or feather
stitching
For infants clothes these frillings
come with tiny edges, and there are
quiet openwork effects on heavy linen
used for pillow slips.
The method of adjusting is to buy
them, gathered into featherstitched
band. or one edge of the material has
a loosely woven thread, and all the
worker need do is to draw the thread
70 the desired fulness.
