 BEGUN AT '. M. C. A.
Association Boys VIII Spend Two
 Weeks at Lake CougamO1d.

The Y. M. C.. A. boys are begin ming to save their money; saving sc that when the first day of July rolls around, each will have sum suf- fciently large to carry him through two weeks of camping on the shores of Lake Congamond, Southwick, Mass, where, for the past six years large numbers of the members have spent the first few weeks in July in close touch with nature, away from the sweltering heat of the city. .s Already, a large number have en- rolled for the camp, and the prob lem of not being able to accomm odate all who are desirous of joining the party, threatens to confront those in charge. Contrary to last years plan, the camp will be held for two instead ot three weeks this year, owing chiefly to the fact that the Southington Boy Scouts will not be allowed the priv ilege of joining this year.
 The camp will not be limited to Y. M c. A. members only, but will be open to any boys of the city of good moral character, between the ages of twelve and eighteen years.
 The same rules which have been enforced in past years will be in vogue. Three rules have been found necessary and are strictly enforced. First, no firearms are allowed; sec ond. no swimming except at regular intervals, and third, the use of to- bacco in any form is absolutely pro- hibited. as}
 The camp will be under the direc- ton of E. W. Yergin, boys work sec- retary. A leader will be in charge of every six or eight boys, and will as- sist in directing the camp activities.
 The camping party will leave Plainville, Wednesday morning, July 1, on the s:39 train, which Is due to arrive at Congamond, s:26. The launch, Mascot" will be on hand ito transport the party across the lake to the grounds. ra
 $ The equipment of each boy will consist of a Bible or prayer book, one pair of blankets. one pillow case to be filled with straw, an extra suit of clothes bathing suit, fishing tackle, baseball glove and severai other articles essential to the happi- ness of the owners.

noon at her home in Pearl street. Brief
remarks were made by Rev Charles
B. Ames, in regard to the proposed
bill in the Maine Legislature for the
establishing of refornatory for wo-
men. It was voted that the Alliance
should send resolutions endorsing the
movement to a member of the COM
mittee. Religious Intelligence was
given by Mrs. w. NJ. Randall, after
which a paper, Some Ancient Philoso
piers and Their PHILOSOPHERS, was Civ
en- by Mrs. Giles G. Abbott This pa
per was recently read by Mrs. Abbott,
before the Belfast Arts and Crafts So
eiety, and called forth a great deal of
very favorable comment from the
members and their friends who heard
it, and so excellent was it considered
that the program committee of the Al
lance prevailed upon her to accept ar
invitation to read it again. The paper
is easily one of the most scholarly
ever read by local club woman and
not only is the composition exceed
ingly mastery but the delivery is most
pleasing. In a brief account it is i'm
possible to do justice to the essay and
only the barest mention can be made.
The Ancient Philosophers" referred to
were Cocrates, Plato his student, who
in turn taught Aristotle. To these
three the major portion of the paper
related although much of ancient his
tory was woven into it. 1t is a paper
which contains much food for thought,
study and research and all who heard
it feel deeply indebted to Mrs. Abbott.
She was cordially congratulated at the
close of the paper.
The annual Easter fair and supper
given by the Universalist Society was
held yesterday afternoon and evening
and was largely attended.

The Only Time to be Frightened Over
Cold is When You Neglect 1t.

Thousands of people die every year
frem the effects of neglected colds.
cold, you know, is a germ disease.
We live in over-heated homes and
offices and factories.
We travel in badly ventilated street
cars.
We dress too warmly.
And as a result our skin and the
membranes of our throat and nose be-
come over sensitive.
We are not able to resist the attadis
of the deadly little microbes.
The first unusual exposure to cold
or dampness opens the door and the
invading army comes in.
We begin to sneeze and cough and
shiver.
Then is the time when quick action
is necessary.
Delay means deadly danger.
La Grippe with its long train of Sc
rious after effects, pneumonia, rheu-
matism, all follow in the train of the
neglected cold.

BOY GOES ADRIFT
On Ice FIoe and incidentally Opens
Navigation at Bangor.

Bangor, Me, April 10.-The ice went
out of the Penobscot river and the
port of Bangor opened to navigation
Thursday afternoon.
This is about the average time of
opening, although nearly two weeks
later than last spring.
An exciting episode of the clearing
of the ice was the voyage of a small
boy who was standing on the edge of
the ice above the Bangor Brewer
bridge when a foe broke off, sending
him adrift down stream. The boy
used a stick for a paddle and worked
his ice cake in toward the Brewer
shore. A riverman broke off another
foe and, with board for a paddle,
put out to rescue the boy.
The latter managed to steer his ice
raft near enough to wharf so that
he got ashore, While the man fioated
down river some distance and finally
made landing.
There was a general alarm, hun
dreds of people gathered along the
banks and the steamer Bon Ton was
about to go to the rescue when the boy
landed.

PALMYRA.

Mrs Caroline Daggett, widow of the
late Daniel Weeks, passed away April
6, after a short illness with pneumo-
MIA. Mrs. Weeks was a daughter of
the late Benjamin and Mehitabel
(HeaD Daggett and was born in 1910
in Palmyra. She was married in 1864
to Daniel Weeks of st. Adams. who
died in 1908. About nine years ago
Mrs. Weeks had a fall, breaking her
hip, since which time she had been
mostly confined to her home, tender
ly cared for by her son Sidney and
his wife fwho reside at the homestead)
with the loving cooperation of all the
family, who generously contributed to
her comfort and happiness. Five sons
and three daughters survive: Mrs.
Ida Gee, Mrs. Cora Frost, Hollis Weeks
and Wilbur Weeks Of Palmyra; Sidney
Weeks and Albion Weeks of ST. AL
bans; Benjamin Weeks of Hyde Park

hours; also a sister, Miss Mary Dag
gett, who lived with her for many
years.
Mrs. Weeks was a consistent member
of the Methodist church, and was low
ed and respected by all who had the
privilege of her acquaintance. Her
pleasant countenance and cheerful con-
versation will be sadly missed by her
neighbors and friends, and her wise
counsel and thoughtful care will mean
an irreparable loss to her sons and
daughters.
The funeral which was held April s,
was conducted by A. c.. Bradbury Of
Newport. Rev. Mr.. Norton attended
the service. Mr. Conant and Miss Vera
Conant rendered several musical Sc
lections. Four of the sons acted as
