Al the Church on The Hill

Last Sunday morning at the First
Baptist church DR.. o. II. Tracy de-
livered the final sermon of the series
on the Book of Revelation, from the
text BE ye faithful unto death and
| will give thee a crown of life. In
the evening a vesper service was held

largely attended and of great interest.
Musical numbers consisted of the us
ual hymns by the chorus led by Mrs.
Philo Steward, a song by Lucille
Bachelor and solo Singing of His
Love" by Miss Annie Scott, Miss Bes-
sic Scott and Mrs j. Abbott Kendall
presided at the organ. A special fea-
ture of the program was a flag drill

HOW TO GROW FAT
A Lazy stomach the Cause of Thinness
Nine Times In Ten

If you are thin or lean, have scraw-
ney arms and neck, you can't grow fat
unless your food properly digests.
People take on flesh in proportion to
the nutritious matter which the organs
of digestion absorb and pass into the
blood.
Just as long as the nutritious mat
ter passes along without being absorb
ed. just so long Will you remain thin.
Perhaps your stomach bowels and
liver need a tonic. If your digestion
is not perfect Mi-o-na tablets will put
ii right at once.
Mi-o-na will relieve indigestion and
every conceivable ailment of the stom
ach promptly. 1t strengthens diges-
ton by building and toning up and not
by encouraging a tired stomach to con-
tinue its shiftless and health destroy
ing habits. 1t promptly drives away
sour stomach, belching of gas, heavi-
ness after eating.

antees it to relieve indigestion. sea and

Conflicting Stories Lead TO Arrest

About four weeks ago, young man
giving his name as Harry Smith,
/ came to the George Iilton livery
stable on Water street to hire team
to go to Cornville, which he did. lie
stated he would return the next day.
| This he failed to do. Time went on,
perhaps for a week, when Mr.. Tilton
received word that his team had been
seen in Mayiield and Brighton. He
/ Immediately sent crew of men TO
search for it but to no avail. 1t was
| only a week or so later, when Arthur
Smith. a resident of Athens, told him
team resembling the one lost had
been sighted in that town Mr. Til
| ton and Sheriff Goodrich went to that
place and discovered the team was
! the Henry Marshall farm about four
miles above West Athens Mr. Mar
shall said that two men came to his
place and made arrangements 10
| store the wagon and put the horse
! out to pasture until called for These
men gave no names and never came
back to claim the property which they
pretended to own. He also told other
stories which did not agree with the
/ first one. Mr.. Tilton has been think
ing about these stories ever since he
got the team and at last decided that
Mr.. Marshall must be the man who
hired it. although he did not know
this for a fact, because the team was
let by William Sedgeley, one of the
employees.
One day last week, Mr.. Tilton and
Mr.. Sedgeley went to the Marshall
farm to identify the man, the latter
| Identifying him as the one who hired
! the team several weeks before. The
| two above mentioned returned to
| Skowhegan to get Sheriff Goodrich.
| The party went back and arrested Mr..
Marshall. He was tried last Satur-
day afternoon before Trial Justice T.
G. Lord. Mr. Marshall admitted the
fact he was the man who hired the
team, but for another man by the
name of Smith. He said that the so
called smith" met him somewhere on
the road and rode part way home, but
before the journey ended Mr.. Smith
told Mr. Marshall to take the team
home, which he did. The latter
says he came from Hamburg Canada,
to his present home. The trial will
be continued next Monday in the Mu-
nicipal court room.

A Musical Evening at Madison

The beautiful home OF Mr. and Mr..
r. S. McKenney Of Old Point avenue.
Madison, witnessed musical event
of more than USUAL interest Friday
evening OF last week Guests from
North Arson and Sk9Nhegan, as well
as Madison, we're present 10 enjoy a
rare musical treat Those taking
part in the program were Ludwig
Mast and Miss Helen Watson, both OF
Boston; and Miss Arlen McKenney,
daughter OF the host and hostess. Mr..
Mast is and has been for fifteen years
'cellst in the Boston symphony Or
ehestra. He and Mrs Mast came TO
Madison to pass a few days of their
summer vacation as guests at the Nc
kenney home They had met Miss
Arlen Mckinney when she first went
to Boston to study at the New Eng
land Conservatory, and Miss MeKen-
ney had been frequently guest at
tHtli HOlllt. WI .NdSA . 'HNaAA0Ai NiN
ed here. as he left the next day, Sat
urday, for a tour through the Middle
West with a sextette composed OF
symphony players. Miss Watson
and her mother, Mrs. Josephine Wat
son, have been passing their summers
at Lakewood for several years, and
here formed an acquaintance with the
McKenneys. Miss Watson, a gradu-
ate of the New England Conservatory
is now a pupil of Mrs. Hall McAllis-
ter of Boston. Miss Mckinney has
had extensive training at the New
England Conservatory, and since
graduating has filled important en-
gagements in Chautauqua and concert
work. During the past year she has
been instructor in voice culture at a
seminary in Nova Scotia.
These three artists were gracious
with their talents and entertained
most charmingly. The view to the
south, with the sound of the rapids
near Old Point made a stage setting
which would emphasize the enjoy
ment to be found in harmony of any
kind.

WOMEN WORKERS.

However much some may oppose
taking women from the gentle atmos-
phere of the home, there is no need
for us 10 blind ourselves to the fact
that our wives and daughters may
have to do the largeE part of the work
that now is done by our hands if the
war should last for a few more years
"a possibility that is by no means
without the bounds of probability.
The women of England and France
are now doing almost all of the work
that formerly was done by men. being
assisted only by the older men and
the boys. This was brought about
in much less than four years. and
while they didn't make such great
Roadway in the first few weeks of
their occupation at unaccustomed
tasks. these women have learned their
lessons and now they are performing
their duties as efficiently as their
strength will permit
1t did not take four years for Eng
land and France to learn that most
of the work behind the lines would
have TO be done by the women. Had
they known such a condition would
be necessary, there would have been
less lost time and less waste. Amer
lea might profit by the example of her
allies and begin now to train women
for the tasks that they may be forced
TO take up.
