washing yourself. And there will be
special Tuesday duties and special
Wednesday duties-ironing, baking,
sweeping and other things that must
be done each week. These special du-
ties are usually accomplished during
the mid-morning or early afternoon
hours when the usual daily tasks are
not in, the way. On a separate piece
of paper or at the bottom of your
original schedule make little notes
showing what these special duties are
for each Of the days of the week.
The great value of such a schedule is
that it recalls you from duties that are
unimportant or duties that you have
already been spending too much time
on to other more important duties.
And the schedule keeps you at one
task tillsit Is accomplished or till it is
time to do something else. Working
on your schedule you never find, at II
o'clock in the morning. that your
breakfast dishes are half cleared up, a
room half busted and a piece of sew
ing half done, and the ordering for
gotten. On the schedule you see a
certain time for all these tasks and by
constantly referring to it and check
ing up your own days work you will
be kept in the straight and narrow
path that really means simpler, easier
housework all round, and. best Of ALL
more time free from care, work and
worry.

Your Postmaster

is an important man in the commun-
ity. He has many things to look
after, and watches the time for the
arrival and departure of the mails
very carefully. If he didn't follow the
regular schedule, things would be in
a apretty fix. But he knows the value
OF regularity and takes good care to
get the mails off on time. In mat.
ters of health the postmaster's ex-
ample is good one to follow. Keep
your habits regular, and when the
stomach, liver or bowels need help, be
sure to take the right remedy in time.
Neglect to do this makes matters
worse and harder to remedy. MANY
postmasters in New England will tell
you that IL. F." Atwood's Medicine
rs fine remedy to keep the system in
order. 1t is great regulator, acting
promptly in cases of Indigestion, sick
headache and constipation.

HINCKLEY, DIES

Hinckley, Me, Jan. 3-(SpeciaD-
Mrs. Helen M. Smith of Hinckley suf-
fered a paralytic shock the afternoon
of Christmas day and lived but few
hours. She had been in failing health
for a long time, having had a severe
illness IS years ago which resulted in
prostration of the nervous system
She partially recovered from this and
for several years was able to be about
but could do no sewing or anything of
that nature because of the condition of
the nerves in her arms and hands;
consequently when she became too
feeble to walk about much she could
do nothing to occupy her time and her
mind became affected. The past two
years she has been great sufferer
mentally. She was born in Madison,
July 16, 1882, the daughter of Joseph
and Cynthia Blackwell Holway. She
was a refined, well educated woman
having been school teacher in her
girlhood days. She was the wife of
the late Nathaniel l.. Smith of Corn
vile and all of her married life was
passed in that town. Shortly after the
death of her husband, March 16, 1894,
the family moved to HinckIey which
has been her home for % years.
A woman of deep sympathies she
vas a most loving mother and a friend
to all, having been known as Gram
mie" to young and old in the commun
ity. Her sudden death came as a
shock to ALL The 23d of October she
went to Jones Private Sanitarium at
Union to be under DR.. II. H. Plumer's
care for few weeks hoping TO re-
ceive help. She realized her condi
tion and prayed that she might be talk
en- from this life before she became
more seriously ill. She leaves one
daughter. Mrs. Melvin Palmer with
whom she made her home and by
whom she was given loving care. Two
children, Charlie Walter and Louise
died in infancy. Her death coming at
this time was particularly hard for the
family as word had been received that
she was much better and she was
coming home the week following
Christmas. Besides the daughter men
toned she leaves one grandson, Earle
NJ s. Palmer of Hinckley, two broth
ers, Horace n. and Charles F. Holway
of Madison and one sister Mrs.
Amanda b. Smith of Oakland. The
funeral was held at her late home Fri
day morning, Rev. G. w. Hinckley of
ficiating. She was very fond OF music
and flowers and the beautiful hymns
sung at the service and the floral Of
ferings were fitting. The remains
were taken to the family lot in Corn
vile for burial.
