tertainers We're rewarded with pro-
longed and merited applause. Max

fiddler. and Perry Maddocks as a
rustic clog dancer staged an act full
of humor and they showed them
selves adept at the music and
dances of generation ago. Miss
Frances MarcouX of this city danced
her Winter Dance for which she has
become so well known. while little
Miss Madeline Taylor pleased the
guests with a number of clog dances

Waterville Doctor
To Be Speaker at
Sunday Health Talk

Prevention is the Watch Word of
Modern Medicine. A crusade of edu-
cation of the Public along Health
lines is being carried on by the
medical profession in order to i'm
press upon them the importance of
taking proper care of themselves, to
conserve their faculties, and to rec
ognize any disability early and pre-
vent serious trouble. The Sunday
afternoon health talks at the Sisters
Hospital are being given in order
to afford people an opportunity of
learning more about themselves that
they may the better take care of
themselves. Prevention is far better
than cure.
The meeting tomorrow afternoon
will be devoted to the care of the
eyes. Our forefathers evidently had
to give this subject little considera-
ton. Their mode of life was simpler
ans made less demands upox the
mare highly organized special sense
organs. Today, however. we face a
different situation. Mans eyes have
to bear a great burden and are sub
ject to a great deal of abuse. Mod
ern artificial lighting. the increased
general use of magazines, newspa PEGS
and books, the popularity of the NOV
ing pictures, the increased demands
for study in the schools. all these
force the eyes to do a great deal of
work and often under the most ad-
verse conditions. Hence. 1.-THE Pre-
servation of Vision" should be a
most timely topic for this meeting.
Students, musicians and others who
have to use their eyes a great deal
are especially urged to be present
And those who wear glasses and this
takes in a large class, will be inter-
ested in learning how they receive
benefit from the lenses. The speaker
will be DR.. Howard F. Hill. The
meeting will commence at p. NJ,
sharp. People are urged to be on
hand promptly as the hall has been
filled to capacity at each meeting
Those desiring questions to be an
swered and not wishing to ask them
themselves may pass in slips of pa
per bearing the questions and these
will be taken up at the close of the

Trade in both productive and distrib-

the first week of the year fairly well.
Wholesalers are getting good number
of small orders for immediate deliv-

while spring business is beginning to

radios and hardware are being we'll
taken. There is heavier buying of
shoes than for a long time past, re-

This activity has found reflection in

shows a tendency to lag.
Retail trade has fallen off slightly
but is better than last year. Merchants
are holding to clear the shelves for
spring stocks. with fair success.
