To Have Good Shape

The simple act OF standing tall"
when on ones feet, with the arms
and shoulders relaxed. and thus de-
velOping this posture into habit, "
the key to ideal physical wei! being.
according to DR.. John 4. Mcdonald.
He spoke last week before the mem
bers of the New England Osteopath-
ic Society in annual meeting at the
Hotel Victoria.
Calisthenics. gymnasium work and
physical culture were labelled as
proven failures in effecting physical
efficiency and proficiency. by the
speaker.
"All control in posture should he
automatic" said DIR. Mcdonald.
when primal man first stood up
right he merely balanced himself and
finally developed an automatic mus
cular CO. ordination. This resulted in
compromising. balancing spinal
curves. This is our biological inner
itance. The revolution OF posture Is
the cultivation of this automatic pow
er Of correct posture. Voluntary ex-
ercises interfering with this posture
are injurious"

ADJUSTMENTS


Almost every man believes he
might have married a great many
women. In his heart of hearts he
has an idea that almost every woman
who ever smiled upon him. or blinked
an interested eyelash at him. would
only too gladly have become his wife.
And when married. what then? In
The Cnloved Wife" the new drama =
tic success in three acts. which come S
to the Haines Theatre. Waterville,
Wednesday and Thursday. Feb. Il
with matinee daily for ladies only,
Florence Edna May, the authoress,
chooses the woman's side of the sto-
ry. Too long has the finger of scorn
been pointed at the helpless weake"
sex. But are women the weaker sex?
Are theT not the stronger sex? What
makes man different after he's
married? What causes every mar
ried woman, at some time, to think
she is unloved? \ woman is a wOm-
an. and really TO know her fads and
fancies man must have been mar
ried to her. And then--does he know
her? Many of these questions are en-
tertainingly answered in the play,

Mrs. Laura A. Brown

Mrs. Laura A. Brown passed away
at $50 +. NJ. Saturday at her home
at s Belpont avenue after an allness
Of 10 weeks. In an effort to save
her life her left limb was amputated
above the knee on January 22nd, the
operation being performed by Dr.
John Towne. assisted by DIR. L. G.
Bunker and DR.. Henry Abbott. The
operation was successful and Mrs.
Brown rallied from the shock in fine
shape, her splendid constitution COM
ing to the rescue. Her recovery
seemed only a question of time but
on Friday the 9th "a change was
noticed in her condition and she sank
rapidly until the end came. Evil
IDENTIFY her age and the weakness re-
sulting from her illness were too
much to overcome. Mrs. Brown was
born in Clinton Feb. q, 1886, the
daughter of Abner and Sarah Powell.
On March 81, 1864. she was united
in marriage to Jacob Brown of Ben
ton and went with him to the farm
W It1e tAtN ltNcu lOI ~ Years. SOON
after Mr.. Browns death on Sept. "a,
1854. Mrs. Brown moved with her
four children to Waterville, another
child having died in infancy, and
since that time she has made her
'ome in the house where she died.
she took an active interest in tho
current events of the day and was
one of the first women to cast her
vote when women were given the
right. Ming of a sunny and cheer
full disposition, she made many
friends. She was a great lover of
nature and never seemed happier
than when riding in the country en-
joying the scenery, especially autumn
scenery. She was one Of the oldest
members of the Universalist church
and was usually found in her pew on
Sunday until sickness prevented.
Mrs. Brown enjoyed her home life
and her children and no sacrifice
made in their behalf was considered
by her as being too great for her to
undergo. OF four children who came
to Waterville with her, three are
living, one Jacob A. having died on
Dec. IA, 1920. The three children
now living are Mrs. Elmer L. Craig,
who with her husband have for
years made their home with her,

Believe Election,
New Pope Will
Come on Saturday

Rome, Jan. 90. (By A. P.) The
26lst Pontiff of the Roman church
will be elected by Saturday next. &C
cording to the consensus of poinion
as expressed by the prelates arriving
here with the Cardinals attached to
the conclave; they expect that the
decision will be reached on the third
or fourth ballot. The conclave opens
on Thursday. and from present indi-
cations the work of electng a new
Pope will be carried on expeditions
ly.
II do not anticipate sharply
drawn contest. which some predict,
said a prominent English ecclesias-
tic today. although there are nat
uraliy divergent views among the
cardinals. these differences are not
irreconcilable and | am confident that
the Sacred College will be able to
agree upon successor of Benedict in a
relatively short time"
American and English church dig
nitaries consider it a certainty that
the choice will fall upon an Italian.
They believe that the best chances
lies with Cardinals Maff, Ratti, Lega
and Fontaine.
A prominent Egnlish prelate. who
asked that his name be withheld. de-
clared it would be great mistake to
elect foreign cardinal, as that
would lead to disappointment and
dissatisfaction among countries like
the United States. Great Britain and
France. all of whom probabl felt
that they merited high office. where
as the selection of an Italian would
be acceptable to all.
This church official expressed the
opinion that the new Pope would con-
tinue the policy of Benedict XIV in
the relationship with the Quirinal.
but would be careful to observe the
complete independence and dignity of
the Vatican. He added:
The Vatican should be neither the
subject nor the guest of any govern
ment, but should be scrupuloush
neutral and unhampered.
Neither France. Spain or Austria.
he declared. would attempt to exer-
else the right to veto the conclayes
choice. which these countries have
heretofore enjoyed.

London River Postmen

If YOU have a friend who is a sailor
and his ship is lying at anchor in the
Thames at London you may address q
letter to him and it will be delivered at
his gangway just as your own are de-
livered at your front door, says the
New York Evening Post. At no other
Port in the world is there a mail de-
livery to ships lying at anchor. though
mail will be delivered to ships at
docks.
The Thames river is divided into
two postal districts. each under the
control of river postman. who makes
his rounds in craft resembling a
fishing boat. In clear weather the de-
livery round is accomplished in four
Or five hours. but IL there is fog the
work becomes difficult and dangerous,
as ships are hard to locate and there
is always the chance of being run
down by steamer. The river post
men have their own uniform, as dis
postmen.
The task of delivering the river let
tiers has been more or less of family
monopoly for several hundre! years
son succeeding father as a matter of
course. In recognition Of faithful
service George III presented the fam
lily Of Evans with the freedom OF all
ports of the kingdom and a silver
medal weighing 16 ounces. Needless
to say, though highly priced as an
heirloom. the medal is not worn by the
Evans men upon their watery rounds.

both parties see things from the right
standpoint. He told OF the various
interests which the employers of
Maine have to consider before the
LEGISLATURE among them being the
matter Of transportation which. he
said. Is going to be one of the serious
problems which industry and labor
must meet. There is also the matter
Of taxation. tariff matters, keen COM
petition existing between localities.
tbe matter of hours which employees
tbinl, they should work and what en-
Movers think about it, also matters
Of efficiency. capacity and the per-
Torrance of the duties of both boss
and workman. These things. he said.
are not perennial, but there are some
things which are always with them as.
mart of the industrial problems. These
are education, health and the matter
Of employment Of the idle hour OF
those who are workers.

of education and showed how much
