Ny Dear DR.. Smith:
The work which the hospitals of
Maine are doing to relieve suffering
and cure disease is invaluable. 1t has
been well said that the standing of a
community can be determined by Its
schools and churches, and to these l
would add it's hospitals. No communi
ty today should be without adequate
hospital facilities.
The state of Maine supports. it's own
State hospitals and contributes lib
orally to those under private manage
ment.
National Hospital day will arouse
an interest in hospital work, and will
bring our citizens to an understanding
of the needs of these institutions.
am glad to indorse this worthy cause
The men and women of Maine who
manage and have charge of these insti-
tutions, the doctors. the nurses. and
attendants who relieve pain and suf-
fering. are all laboring unselfshly for
the benefit of mankind.
Sincerelysyours,
PERCIVAL 2. BAXTER,
Governor of Maine.

each other. Benavides was smiling
slightly; Arredondo was fidgetlng;

was a split second quicker. The sound
of his shot rOared through the silent
Gale, and Benavldes, with his pistol

hand from the butt as Webster's au-

Benavides suIenly held up that
dripping member and Webster in
spected it at a respectful distance.
"Steel jacket bullet" he informed the
wounded man. "Small hOle-didn't do

He helped himself to Arredondo's

slipped all six cartridges into his palm.

kEREKJARTO
 VIOL|NIST TO
 GIVE CONCERT

Kerekjarto is pot yet 20 years old, but with his violin he has already attained sensational results both. in Europe and in America. His play has a magic influence upon his au- dience. It keeps them spel1-bound, carries them with him and rouses thuslasm. The following incident which occurred in Switzerland. shows best how great his influence is.
 Kerekjarto gave a concert in his play was so great that they could not be accommodated. The windows and the doors were thrown open and outside on the square before the church the crowd listened to his play. When the concert was over they car ried him upon their shoulders to the hotel and still would not disperse, Kerekjarto took his violin. stepped upon his balcony and played in the silent night until the early morning hours.
 He came to America in the fall of 1920, and with his violin at once con quered the American people. Every where in the cities where he played the papers wrote of him in terms of highest tribute, For instance the New York Evening Mail of Nov. 3rd, 1920 said: ''If Paganini and Sarasate could be rolled into one, the combination would probably be such demon of violin as Duel de Kerekjarto.'
 Since then he played with similar results in Detroit, Mich. where an audience of 5, 900 listened to him. Next day, Nov. 9th, 1921, the Detroit Jour- nal wrote as follows: eff at the end the young Hungarian's fiddle seemed to have a shade the best of it, that was only because no human throat not even Caruso's-could ever quite match the f1awless thread of gold spun from beneath that enchanted bow. Not since kreisler have we heard this instrument made the me- dium of such sheer beauty of tone.
 This is the artist, who is coming to our city and will give concert on Nov. 20th at the Park Theatre
 With him will be Joseph Diskay formerly with the Hungarian Roya. Opera House in Budapest and the Co., lumbia Graphonola Company's only Hungarian singer. Both will present an international program.

PLANNING THE THANKSGIVING

Our grandmothers used to plan their Thanksgiving dinners fully two or three weeks ahead of the great event-indeed. many of them began actual preparations that far In ad- vance, But we housekeepers of this busy age. when Hustle Is the answer to our problem of meeting high prices consider ourselves quite forehanded if we have decided upon our Thanksgiv- ing menu even a week in advancel The following menu and recipes may help you in making your plans:
 Iced Grape Fruit
 Oysters on the Half Shell Salted Almoids Olives Celery
 Roast Turkey or Chicken, Sage Dressing
 Baked Potato Cake
 Crowned Sweet Potatoes Baked Corn
 Alligator Pear Salad
 Hot Mince Pie Pumpkin Pie

The salad may also be left out if the house Keeper wishes. Sweet cider may be served with the dinner. or Grape Juice.
 But, whatever changes you make do not drop the Baked Potato Cake! This is so good that. to my mind, Thanksgiving Dinner Is not @ Thanks giving Dinner without 1t. To make it. boil and nash 12 medium-sized pota- toes. Put this potato into 3 bread pans and make a hole in the center Of the mound in each pan; into these two holes stir the following ingredi- ents. mixed: 2 eggs 1 tablespoon bread crumbs, 14 onion chopped 1 teacup butter. teaspoon salt, and 1-2 teASDOOn hoI F, ie mixture for each pan of the mashed potato. Butter the top of each 'floaf' and bake 20 minutes in a hot oven. | (The chopped onion should be sim mered on the range in a little butter mot browned-until almost tender before being added to the above in gredients.
 Although some housewives declare that there >s nothing delicious as an Oyster Stuffing or a Chestnut Stuffing for turkey or chicken. I be- lieve that the majority of cooks pre- fer the old fashioned Sage stuffing. To make this, rnoisten 3 cups of finely rolled bread crumbs with 1 egg and | season with 1 teaspoon salt, a little pepper. 1-4 teaspoon sage. and ta- which has been cooked in little but ter until almost tender-as above de- scribed. Mix these ingredients well. 1 then stuff the bird with them If a Roast Shoulder of Pork sss chosen instead of Loin of Pork, this sage stufffng can be used in the meat just as we'll as in turkey or chicken, for a Roast Shoulder of Pork has a pocket in it Cleft by the removal ef the bonel and the stuffiAg fills this pocket. The Roast Shoulder of Park, however, is not as tender cut as the Loin of Pork. so far this reasen many housekeepeFs prefer the Lein | out.
