The fair of the Ladies' Benevolent Society, postponed from last Friday night to the following afternoon, was a great success and a general good time was enjoyed by all. The sum of S1s0 was cleared. The fortune tell ing and the Punch and Judy show were especially enjoyed and the only drawback to an otherwise perfect affair was the fact that the weather prevented the fair being held on Friday evening as the East Wood stock orchestra had most kindly con- sented to furnish music at that time. Everyone had been looking forward to hearing the open-air concert, so were greatly disappointed to have to forego that pleasure. The fair committee wishes to thank the orchestra and all the many others who so gladly offer ed thein services to make the fair a success

BUSY Time Is FALL
FOR Mr.. |. G. pAuI

Along with the other men in this
neck of the woods who are finding
the fall days all too short to do the
work that is to be done, l.. G. Paul
of Gardiner, is being kept on the
jump these days.
Mr.. Paul is carpenter and builder.
Just as in the spring, after the SHOWS
have gone, people find a lot that
needs to be done about the house. so
it is at this time of year when the
fall rains are so prevalent. There are
leaks in the roof to be repaired, new
roofs to be laid, cutters repaired,
storm windows fitted and many other
things that are necessary before the
real cold weather comes.
In all kinds Of work, Mr. Paul has
been busy all summer and there has
been no let-up in this work with the
approach of cold days. AS a matter
Of fact, many people who's hould have
had their work donesooner, have put
it off until now and wit the need of
repairs driven home by the weather,
they. are demanding that the work be
done at once.
Mr.. Paul tries to satisfy all. but he
makes 1t point that no Job, once
started shall be rushed to the sacri-
flee of thoroughness. Far from it.
for 1t is a cardinal principle with him
that whats worth doing at all. is
worth doing WELL" So. no matter
whether 1t is small job of repairing
or the construction of new big

BARBER SHOP THAT.
is REALLY POPULAR

AS everyone knows, the last stand
for the mere male of the species was
the barber shop. But this is no lon
ger rendezvous exclusively for the
male. Far be it from that.
TO prove it, one has but to drop
into the shop of Ed. Thibodeau at 4
Cony street, Augusta, and find that
male and female customers are
about equally divided.
Although this neat, attractive shop
near one end of the Kennebec bridge
has been going less than a year, it is
one of the most popular in the Capt.
tai City and men, women and chill
dren alike find it satisfying place
to go.
While women who simply must
have their hair trimmed are fire.
quent visitors there, Mr.. Thibodeau
makes great speciality of cutting

of the little folks and the youngsters

EVERY HOUR BUSY
DURING The DAY

Fall rains straighten out curls and
make business for the hair dressers.
But Evelyn C. Shute. who has her
beauty parlor right opposite the Of
flee of the Kennebec Journal in Au-
gusta, doesn't have to pray for rain
to give her business. Far from it. 1t
can honestly be said, there isn't an
hour of the day when she isn't busy.
The excellence of the work she does
keeps her time SO occupied that
those who wish appointments must
telephone hours ahead to be sure of
accommodations.
This business of keeping women
beautiful is an eXacting one. The
proprietor of a beauty shop must
please all customers, do the best of
work on all and, for all she is on
her feet all day long, must be cour-
teous and obliging. That Miss
Shute has lived up to these quail
fications is proved by her steadily
increasing patronage.
Hair waving, marching, skin treat
ments, manicuring, chiropody and
permanent waving are the principal
lines of activity at the Shute par
lors, and all these branches OF
beauty work are done equally we'll

GOOD ADVICE AT
TuRCQTIE'S SHOP

1T isn't the size of the shop that
matters, it's the way the Job is done
that counts"
Such is one Of the signs that are
on the walls of the Frank X. Tur-
cote shoe repairing establishment
in Depot square, Augusta. It's a
pretty true sign, too, and Mr.. Tur-
cotte-he of the perpetual smile
that might be changed to apply to
any line of endeavor. for as all good
people know, it isn't the amount
that person gives to help the needy,
but it is the spirit in which it is
given.
But without any further philoso-
phical discussion, it may be said that
Frank Turcotte has been repairing
shoes for % years. And he's only SO
years old, too! That means that he
started to learn the business when
he was 13 years old. He was just
boy in school then, but so anxious
was he to learn all about cobbling,
that, as soon as school was out, he
would rush across the street to a
shop run by a relative and put in
the rest of the time learning about
shoes and how to make and repapir
them. Those We're the days when
everything was done by hand. when
the pay was small and to repair a
pair of shoes required a lot of pa
thence. But though the work was
done by hand, nothing like the jobs
, that are now performed were turned
out, for now an old pair of shoes
may be made to look almost new; in
fact, the shoe-repairer does such a
good job these days that old shoes
have all the features Of new ones
except the hurt.
For just a dozen years. Frank
| Turcotte has been repairing shoes

makes it a point to call and deliver
goods all through this territory and
the promptness and carefulness with
which the work is performed have
resulted in a constant increase in
business for the concern.

TIBBETT'S TAXIS
TOP THE HILLS

William E. Tibbetts of Gardiner
has few leisure moments. There are
hills in Gardiner just as there are in
Augusta and those who live on top of
them prefer to ride up the steep as
cents rather than walk.
That's where Tibbetts comes in, for
he is a taxicab man and the demands
for taXis are very keen in Gardiner
Day and night service are main
tanned by Mr.. Tibbetts so that any
Gardiner man or woman, no matter
what time a train may go or may ar
rive, may be sure of making the pro-
per connections.
There Is nothing that demands
more exacting service than a taxi
company. That Mr.. Tibbetts has
been able to meet all wishes and
satisfy all customers is the best
proof of the good way in which his
taxis ARE run.

COLD WEATHER MEANS
Rush FOR LAUNDRIES

The laundry has it's work to per-
form in cool days just as we'll as in
the warm ones. That is what the
proprietors of the Riverside Laundry
of Gardiner have found out. In the
summer. when days are warm. home
washing is a burden. When days
become cool, the washing is still a
burden, especially when it comes to
hanging out the clathes with an icy
wind blowing. "Send it to the laun-
dry" has become a decidedly popu-
lar slogan and it is to the Riverside
Laundry that hundreds are sending
their wash" not only in Gardiner
but all up and down the Kennebec
valley. The Riverside management

here everyone may be sure of having
his wants satisfyingly filled.
An unusual feature was introduced
by the Augusta Drug Co. during the
past summer that proved very sue
cessful. A motor drug store was es-
tablished that visited all the nearby
places. All of the old family rene
dies were carried in this truck and
II, by chance. some remedy was called
for that didn't happen to be on board
the purchaser could order it from the
driver and the goods would be sent
by parcel post on the return Of the
truck to the city. Having a drug
store brought to ones very door
proved a popular convenience and a
large business in this way has been
built up.

The constant aching OF bad back,
The WEAKNESS, the tired feeling;
Headaches, dizziness, nervousness,

And too serious to be neglected.

uretic to the kidneys.
Hosts of people recommend
