MAINE SAVINGS BANKS.

Their History and Present Prosperity.
Bank Examiner Timberlake of Maine
at the convention of the national asso-
Cation of the State bank supervisors.
in session last week at Buffalo, n. Y,
read an interesting paper on Mutual
Savings Banks in which there were
many st riking illusions to the prosper
Gus conditions in his own State. He
said, in part:
ssThe history of savings banks in the
State of Maine is one of much interest,
being interviewer with that of its COM
mercial growth, business development
and prosperity First by special chart
ers and afterward by general statute
authorizing their organization on ap-
proval of the banking department, II Of
these institutions have been establish
ed in Maine during the past so years.
t'The first, known as the institution
for Savings for the Town of Portland
and its vicinity was chartered by the
general court of Massachusetts in 1919,
while Maine was still part of that
commonwealth. The second was Or
ganized in 1927, and third in 1884.
Prior to 1850 there were no more than
three of these institutions in successful
operation at any one time.
During the next decade they began
to grow in favor Even then their de-
posts amounted to only about $1,000
900. Thus it can be seen that the prin-
cipal growth of this system of banks
has been subsequent to 1860. Of the
II savings banks which have been Or
ganized, 20 have been closed, leaving 81
now in successful operation.
'Of the 20 whose affairs were liqui-
dated, II have been closed by voluntary
act of the management and nine by the
order of the supreme court.
Gin II the depositors have been paid
the full amount of their deposits, while
in the other eight they have sustained
percentage of loss. The total loss to
depositors in those 20 institutions has
been $379, 023.69.
"Of the 81 savings banks now in oper-
! alton Is have at some time during their
existence been compelled, by order OF
the court, to reduce their depositors'
accounts to make the assets of the
banks equal their liabilities. All but
! two, however, have been able to return
large portion of this reduction to
their depositors."

The Germicide Value of Lemon Juice
BY Bertram L. Bryant A. NJ, NJ. d, Bangor,
Maine.

BY Bertram L. Bryant, A. NJ, MD, Bangor,
Maine.
During the past few weeks my atten-
ton has been called several times by my
patients to persistent reports in the daily
papers extolling the value of lemon
Juice as a germiclde for the typhoid
bacillus in water. Although skeptl-
cal from the first, began short series
of experiments to determine the value
of lemon juice as a typhoid germlcide.
Into flask of 90cc. of sterlllZed water
was poured sec. of a tWenty-four hour
bouillon culture of typhoid and sec.
of lemon juice, making five per cent.
solution of the latter At regular inter
walls between two minutes and five
hours, by means of sterlllZed choppers,
two drops of this mixture were added to
bouillon and gelatin tubes The former
were placed in the incubator, and the
latter plated and kept at room temper
ature. Control cultures were also made
from the infected water before the
lemon Juice was added. At the end of
eighteen hours, all the boullon tubes
gave abundant growth. The gelatin
plates, made one-half hour and longer
after the addition of lemon juice,
showed fewer colonies than those made
at the end of five, ten and fifteen
minutes, but all gave growths.
BY computation, found that ten per
cent. mixture of lemon juice with water
was little stronger than lemonade
made with one-half of lemon to
one glass of water. So in the second
experiment, following the same technl-
que as in the first, a ten per cent. lemon
solution was made. The same results
were obtained as before. All cultures
gave growths.
The culture of typhoid used was au
old stock agar culture which mad been
using for Vidal work, transplantlng 1t
from time to time at room temperature,
so its virulence must have been very
low.
The experiments show that lemon
juice, in percentages that could be used
in drinking water, has very feeble II any
germicidal action. and is entirely un-
trustworthy as preventive of typhoid.

The Boston Home Journal is quoted
as stating that with one exception,
Maine furnishes the Pullman Car Com
pany with the best paying run it has in
the country. That is the trip on the
Maine Central Railroad from Bangor
to Boston and return. Each car on the
run earns the company net profit of
over $50 day, three hundred and sixty
five days in a year. The only run which
pays them more money is that from

A Cobbossee Poet.

Howard Owen writes to the kennebec
journal from his summer home on Lake
Cobbosseecontee: A local poet once got a
little loony, and wrote this about Lake
Cobbossee:
"For steamers are plowing its crested waves,
Waking the echoes with noisy din,
Laden with happy human freight,
Who are drinking its wondrouS beauty in.
And summer cottages line its shores.
Where city people all care forgot,
Are Willing away the sutry hours.
Secure and safe in their sheltered spot.
The looms are still sailing in stately pride,
Over its waters so bright and fair,
While far beneath them the tinny tribes
Are sleeping, not fearing the sportsman s
snare.
Shine on in your spIendor, y fairy gem;
No lake can ever with you compare.
Your islands, so folded in close embrace,
Like children, crown you with beauty most
rare.
l have too much consideration for your
readers to quote the whole of the ''pOem,"
and do not produce it here as a specimen
of fine writing, but because there is more
truth than poetry in it. True, steamers are
not ''plowing," but John Brainard was,
yesterday, for l saw him. We have not
whiled away many "sultry hours" yet, and
the looms have been conspicuous by their
absence, and we want the outside world to
know that the islands are not the only things
that are 'sfOlded in close embrace

 When Mr, Belmont came ashore he said, '.I guess the agony is all oyer.''
