books. The majority Of book titles
were promptly recognized, but every
one was puzzled by the costume of one
charming young lady. 1t was designed
to look like a patent cigarette lighter.
All sorts of titles were suggested, but

"The Good That Men Do"

The blessings which good men be-

special act of admonition or encour-

In the abiding tenor of their inward
lives. There are many whose hands
give favors and whose words send Joy,
who yet cannot reach that which gives
rarer and finer delight still. For
there are some whose very presence
is a blessing-whom to look upon Is
to feel new courage to take up tolls,
deprivations, cares to think hopefully
Of man; to believe all noble achieve.

You have heard the word budget.
But where? 1t is the word used in
all governments. 1t Isl synonymous
with Cost and it is the word that
runs the government of nation, state
and city. Now it has come into the
home.
The housewife is beginning to
realize that her old allowance" from
her husband is that same budget.
She Is beginning to feel its influence
In home and especially in the
kitchen-where foods hive changed
to higher pinnacles Of distinction
and even the most plebian Of vege-
tables may cause deficit in the
home budget-if there happens to
be a shortage Of, say potatoes.

great economic changes have come
over the world due to the war we
find first the wealthiest women of
the country employing the budget
system for the purpose of conserva-
ton In the home. Mrs. Lila Pauline
Cross has some interesting data on
this phase of home betterment and
she will discuss 1t freely at one Of
the sessions of the Cooking School.
She knows that this Is the age of
womans opportunity. 1t is the wo-
mans chance to prove her capability
in managing, especially in directing
that most sanctified of places-the
home. And, judging by the interest
taken in Mrs. Cross by the women in
every city where she has appeared,
and the crowds before whom she has
talked. the wise woman certainly
knows how to grasp her oppor-
tunities. She knows what is good
not only for herself, but for the
betterment Of her community. To
this end the Daily Kennebec Journal
sought out just such woman to
address the women of Augusta at its
Free Cooking School next week.
Economic values in the modern
trend Of business and the office have
so influenced the home that one now
finds the housewife risen to dig

vocation in the world and that
household management is the most
important subject woman can

all these secrets and will pass them

She will prove how pride is stimu-

Of delectable dishes before you until

Hints of surprises of every kind

HAVERHILL MAN IS
Defendant IN SUITS
RESULT OF ACCIDENT

As result of the automobile ac-
cident which occurred near Oak
Grove Seminary in Vassalboro on the
Waterville road, October 8, Erward
J. Poulin, of Haverhill. Mass, the
driver of the Willys-Knight car
which was wrecked at that time, has
been sued for $4,000 by Catherine
and Madeline McGrath, of Bangor,
who were confined to the Augusta
General Hospital following the crash
in which their Buick car was wreck
ed and burned, 1t was learned yes
terday.
Poulin was placed under $4,000
bonds Sunday, and was allowed to
return to Massachusetts, pending
trial which will be held at the jan
uary term of the Penobscot county
Superior Court.
The papers were served on Pou-
lin by Deputy Sheriff Edward Rice
of this city, one suit being for $lO,-
90 and the other for 5000 covering
personal injuries to both young Ia
dies and the loss of the car.
On charge of reckless driving IN
connection with the accident, which
was tried in Augusta municipal court
last Saturday, Judge Robert A. Cony
found the Haverhill man guilty and
sentenced him to pay a fine and
costs.

COAL BARCES ARE
TAKING ADVANTAGE
RIVER CONDITIONS

With three or four coal barges
unloaded here within the past two
weeks, one at the docks at this time
unloading, and three more expected
before the river freezes over. busi-
ness at the Augusta water front IS
much more active than is usual at
this time of year. Local coal deal
ers expect to go into the winter with
full sheds, as they plan to do each
year, and with their customers well
stocked as well.
The barge now here Is unloading
two bins for the Augusta Coal and
Ice Company and one for Stone &
Cooper. Another barge is expected
by the Stone & Cooper Co., and two
more will probably come up the
river to unload at the Purinton Co.
dock within short time.
The local dealers are noting larg-
err demand for soft coal, probably
due to the burning of soft coal In
residences in place of the anthracite
which has been considered necessary
for so many years. They feel. how
ever, that they are stocked up with
both kinds so that householders need
feel no concern over a coal shortage
In the latter part of the season.
