A Frequent Mistake. One common every day mistake made by most people is that Olive Oil 1s only used for salads and medic- inal purposes, and look bn the use of oll in cooking as extravagant, ‘because its first cost is somewhat more than lard. The fact is Olive Ofl 1s used fn its native countries more for its food value than for anything else, ang as it is not absorbed by the materials in cooking, lasts much longer, so is verv much cheaper in the end. This is particularly true of that delicious THREE CROSS OLIVE OIL sola at SMITH’S PRESCRIPTION STORE— we recommend it to you. Try it for a few weeks and you will scorn “plg fat” in the future.

P'ruenoe of the Ideal, Says At the Second Congregational church on Sunday evening the pastor, Rev. L. L. West, D. D., delivered a sermon of valuable import and suggestion for the new year, speakin, n the subject, “‘Some Rules for the School of Life. As a text Dr. West used James v, 1 “What is your life?” Perhaps there is no question we could ask, he said, from which we could get a larger num- ber of answers. And each answer comes back tinged with the overshad- owing facts lnnf forces of life, whether we agk it of youth or ask it of ase. Quoting from the Old Testament writ- ers, from Carlisle, Browning and Ten. nyson, he showed how each had an- swered it, yet from all comes the con- sclousness of its sublimity and the in- finite sweep of life, We want to think of life as a school In which we are disciplined, trained and taught. Everything in it has some- thing to do with shaping your soul, nn«} I want to give a few of the rules o this school of life, fundamental rules, which we must learn if we are to live a ng to mean anything. rules to be spoken of. First—Don’t waste your time, Time is the most precious stuff you've got. Don't fool around and steal the other fellow’s time and don’t dawdle at your work. Time is the one common and priceless possession, but how different There are four WEEK OF PRAYER OBSERVANCE IN NORWICH. Special Services Will Be Held at Sev- eral Churches. This is the week of prayer and it will be observed in & number of the local churches by special services. As has been the custom there will be union services of the Second and Broadway Congregational churches, On Wednesday afternoon at 4.30 a un- lon service will be held in the Sec- ond church and on Friday -afternoon at the same time a union service will h? held at Broadway church. The Teg. ular midweek prayer meeting will be held on Thursday evening in church. y At the First Baptist church there will be four cottage prayer meetings held. Two will be held Tuesday eve- ning at the homes of Frank Lathrop in West Maln street and Mrs. W. H. Eagles in Washington square. There will be two on Friday evening, one With Mre.

FIVE O'CLOCK DINNERS SUNDAY AT THE WAUREGAN Tried for First Time Yesterday and Prove a Decided Success. Believing that there was a demand for five o'clock dinners with some- thing extra in the way of a menu and Wih musie, Manager Davenport of The Wauregan inaugurated them on Sunday, dinner being served from § to § during which time an excellent orchestra under Professor Tubbs fur- nished an exquisite programme with several solo numbers, all of which were finely rendered, The orchestra was located in the aicove constructed for them, and about the room were large palms, There was & tempting menu and an attendance which surprised the mana- ger most agreeably, there being over eighty in attendance, at one time there being over sixty in the large dining room. It is believed that the plan mects with public favor and it will be continued. The hallway to the new dining room through what used to be the old din- ing room of the hotel has been com- pleted and is g big improvement. It Is done in olid quartered oak panel- ed on the sides, above which are dec- orated leaded art glass windows. There are two doors on each side. Those on the left open into the ladies’ cafe and the right Into what when finished each Wil be a small banquet hall about | 30 feet square, elaborately finished. The cafe is in use and is about 30x25, Manager Davenport many compliments the hallway, which is lighted by etec- tricity, and it is so well liked that it is being copied in a job being done by a local contractor. OBITUARY. Mrs, John G. Potter, The death of Mrs. John G. Potter, gccurring gudcenly at her home on Saturday morning as the result of a shock, was learned of with great sor- Tow by her many friends and with sympathy for the family so suddenly has received on the beauty of o5 | bereaved. Mrs. Potter was apparently in her usual good health when sha arose in the morning at her home at No. 416 Main street, Bast Side, and Was preparing breakfast when she was stricken, passing away at 9.45 a. m, without " recovering consciousness, al- though everything possible was done by_the physiclan summoned. Mrs. Potter, whose maiden name was Gertrude Cecilia Wills, was born in Cleveland and about half of her life had been passed ther., She was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Wills, her father being an Englishman and one of the men prominently identified with the history of Cleveland and its growth. Mrs. Potter retalned a home in Cleveland. The deceased had been a resident sf Norwich for tabout four years. Sho was married to John G. Potter in Cleveland and they have since lived for @ number of years In Brooklyn, Conn., and in Dapfelson before coming to Nbrwich. Mrs. Potter was a member of the Congregational church. She is survived by her husband, who is the senlfor member of the grocery firm of John G. Potter & Sons, of the Bast Side, and there are two sons—Sher~ wood B. and John Dyer Potter. She leaves also a granddaughter, Amy ‘Wills Potter, but 10 brothers or sisters, as ghe was the last of her immediato family. Of a kind and sympathetic disposi- tion, which delighted in doing good to all around her, Mre. Potter had many warm friends among her assoclates and in the home she was a loyal wife and helpmate and & loving mother who will be sorely missed. —_— Bovs’ Meeting at Y. M. C. A. At the boys' meeting ‘Sunday after noon at the Y. M. C. A. the leader was Carl Hoffman and the seripture was read by Charles Prentice. A talk to the boys by J. Palmer Post upon the Subject “What 1909 Will Bring to a Boy" v as greatly énfoyed by his hear- n R.

Ga., returned Sunday night ‘tog New Yor kto resume their etudies t Columbia training school. Will be the results into which we will have tfansmuted the hours of 1909, No one is o prodigal of time as young people, and it is not until afterwards that we look back and realize the folly of the wasted hours. Second-Be sure you're golng up, and not down. Tay hold of the things above you, not below. The down grade can begin' so easily In youth, but see _that you are on the upgrade, if ever so little, Third—Have a purposs. To make it worth while, let it be high enough to have some pull. Let it be something clear, definite, positive; the more clear, distinct and single it is the better. Something that shall be like the pole- star, always grappling you, holding and leading you. Fourth—Strive as far as may be to walk in the presence of the ideal. Thera is almost nobody who doesn’t live ten times more in his imagination than in the real. When the man climbs up In the high tower of imagination and gets a vision, he goes down into the battle well ‘content, for he has that in his heart that makes him live in the pres- ence of the ideal. Such a vision comes not every morning or every day, but when it comes cherish it as you would your soul. Then, following these four rules for tha school of life, it would become beautiful and noble and worth while. BLE SCHOOL RAISES NEARLY HALF OF PLEDGE “White Elephant” Is ¥Fast Turning Black at First Baptist Church. The New Year opened ausplelously at the First Baptist church. There was a large attendance and the “white elephant,” it »was found, had become nearly half black. The Bible school a few weeks ago assumed $500 of the church debt, and a large white elephant marked in 500 squares, each square to represent $1, was hung in the Sunday school room. The amount is nearly halt raised and it is hoped that soon the white elephant will return to its own color and disappear. After the lesson period the annual Teports were read, The report of the secretary showed the increase of the school during the year, having a dally average of 215, In naming “those perfect in attend- ance special mention was made of May and Susle Evans, who have been per- fect In attendance for six years.
