numerous, and it is just about enough
to say that there were loads of them"
And after the party little Miss Ruth
and her mother went up to the Sisers
hospital and took a share of the party
to little cousin who has been there
as patient for some weeks and who,
because of her illness. could not accept

Changers Pleased by
Delightful Program

Worthy Lecturer, w. Fl. Pollard
beat his record for getting up fine
programs, as was proven by the one
that large number of Winslow
grangers were privileged to listen to
last Friday evening. The first num-
Der was a play entitled "Widow Be
DOTS Visitors" the following peo-
pie taking part: Mrs. George Getch-
ell. Charles Chapman, Charlotte
Chapman, Carl Wugley. Alfred
Getchell. This was amusing and
showed careful preparation, and was
much appreciated by all.
Mrs. James L. Dean, Winslows
queen of song, rendered several very
beautiful solos, her accompanist be-
ing Mrs. Harriet Patterson.
And then Miss Thelma Barnes of
Waterville delighted the audience
With three very fine readings.
Although there were not many fea-
lures, they were of high order and
set the listeners to thinking about
what Winslow's people can do.
And Mr.. Pollard, just for good
stunt, and-he did. Allowing Mrs.
Walter Reynolds to select and draw
card from his hand, which proved
to be the ace Of hearts, he asked her
to tear the card into small bits, which
she did. Mr.. Pollard asked her to
keep one small piece of the card in
her hand, while into the muzzle of q
small revolver he put the remaining
bits and placing target, composed
of loaf OF bread wrapped In q pa
per bag, up against the wall, he
fired at it. When the bread was I'M
wrapped. the audience were blank
with establishment to find a perfect
ace of hearts, with the little corner
gone out of it, which Mrs. Reynolds
kept through the performance. Mr..
Pollard, we think, Is getting to be
altogether too sleight Of hand for an
r. +. d. man, II this Is the way he
Is going to play tricks on us. But
we must hand it to him that this
was some" stunt.
After the program, games were en-
joyed. under the direction of "Ma-
gician" Pollard.
The next meeting will be May 18th.
Several people were at work Sat-
urday morning at the Howard ceme-
terry on the river road. rakinR the

What Is Grape>Nuts !?

Crape.Nuts is a highly nutritious
food in the form of crisp, golden
granules. 1t contains the full nutri.
ment of wheat and barley, including
yitamin-B and mineral elements re-
quired for building sturdy health.
These elements are often lacking
in the ordinary diet, chiefly through
"over-refnement" in the prepare
!. tion of food.
No other food is so thoroughly
baked as Grape-Nuts. More than
2Ohours are consumed in the baking
process which makes Grape-Nuts
easy to digest, and also develops a
natural sweetness from the grains
themselves.
The form and crispness of Grape
Nuts invite thorough mastication-a
decided advantage because this not
onlypr0yidesproper exercise for the

teeth, but makes for good digestion.
Every housewife in the Land
should take advantage of this extra
ordinary opportunity to earn the
tidy sum of $1,000 by q little pleas
ant and educational effort in her
own home. Also the fair and equal
chance to secure one of the liberal
awards to be made by Good House
keeping Institute.
Moreover, there's the greater
knowledge of the value of Grape
Nuts, not only as a delicious break
fast cereal, but in the preparation
of a variety of appetizing dishes that
add to the health and pleasure of
the whole family.
Where you don't find Crape.Nuts
you won't find people
