EXPECT TO RAISE $1,000
BY Entertainment to Aid in the FIGHT
Against tuberculosis.

The committee which was appointed
to arrange for the advertising, print
ing and selling tickets for the enter
tainment to be given at the Opera
house March 20 by the New England
Show Company and the Mozart Ladies
Quartet, met at the council rooms in
the City building Wednesday evening
and considered several matters Of inn
portance regarding the work
This entertainment is to be given for
the benefit of the local work for the
prevention of tuberculosis in Water
vile and vicinity. 1t is now the ex-
pectation of those in charge to raise
$1,000 to start the work, which will in
clude the employment of a nurse.
whose duties it will be to make an in
vestigation of the cases of tuberculosis
now existing in this vicinity. 1t will
also include the work of starting a
free dispensary and the establishment
of an out doors camp in Waterville
and other methods which will tend to
stamp out tuberculosis. All of the
members are confident that this can be
done, but they realize that it will take
considerable money and are arranging
for this entertainment to secure adj
vance funds
The tickets for this high-cla en-
tertainment will soon be in the hands
of distributors and no one should re-
fuse to patronize. when the money will
mean so much. The illustrated lecture
Along the New England Shore from
Newport to Bar Harbor" is one that
should interest all. The lecture will
be given by D. B. Howard of Boston,
who has over 200 superb colored ma

Marshall. E. F. Trainor; Hook and
Ladder Company, Captain Peter King
and George Jellison.
Heretofore each of the companies
have had separate banquets or enter
tainments at their several houses and
many of the firemen thought it ad-
visable to get all the firemen together

quet at the Elmwood hotel on Friday
evening, March Is and committees

Walter McAlary, Albert Maheu The
