Hearing on Rih in interest of Dr.

The hearing was oman act amending the medical practice act, that would eliminate the treatment of cancer, and was framed for the special benefit of pr. A. Stanley Maine of Dayvflle. in the town of Killingly, and who formerly resided in Mystic and Westerly. pr. Maine was not men toned in the amendment, as that would be class legislation, but left it oper> so that other than medical prac- titfoners might treat cancer.
 Attorney Herbert w. Ratnbun spoke in favor of the bill and conducted the hearing in the interest of pr. Maine, who is native of North Stonington. Attorney Rathbun said the medical profession considered the treatment of cancer a grave question, and relied upon the knife, the X-ray and 8, caustfc for treatment. Patients feared the knife and X-ray and the burning and painful caustic, all were considered painful and dangerous. He said Dr. cases of cancer in New London and Windham counties. He used a paste that did no harm, containing no pofs- on. It removed cancer and patients were restored to nOIual notAIlI, anu, said Attorney Rathbun, this treatment is unknown to the medical profession. He presented 25 photographs of cases treated by pr. Maine, showing before and after the treatment. That be- cause Of the opposition of medical so- cieties and fear of prosecution, pr. Maine had refused many suffering peo- pie who came to him for treatment as it was against the law for him to practice, as he was not graduate of a medical college.
 Among those who spoke in favor of the bill were Representative W. P. Kel- ley of Killingly, John Kleey of Noank, who had been successfully treated for cancer which had been diagnosed as such by three reputable New London surgeons; John Perry of Danie1son, who was completely cured of cancer; Frederick LefhngwelI of Norwich, ar1- other successfully treated patient of pr. Maine: E. W. Keech of Ashford. who declared that pr. Maine saved his life. Judge Harry E. Back of Killing 1y testified to cases treated by pr. Maine with success that came to his knowledge of patients in New London and Windham counties.
 State Attorney Hugh Alcorn of Hart senting the Connecticut Medical so- ciety, and Dr. o. c. Smith of the Hart ford hospital and Dr. E. B. Hooker of Hartford spoke in opposition. pr. Hooker declared that if MT. Maine had such a wonderful cure for cancer he ought to publish it to the world in the interest of humanity. He said that treat any cancer that had been treated by MT. Maine much more skillfu1ly and with even more success. The hearing then closed.

DODDER IN CLOVERS AND Al.
FALFAS.
By JOHN (. LARSON,

Seeds from uncertain sources, espe-
cially clover. alfalfa and grass seeds,
should be tested for purity. The de-
partment of agriculture, Washington,
ID. c.. and a sub-StatiOn seed labora-
tory at Columbia, Mo. will do the test
ing free of charge. Send a small sam
pie of the seed in question n find
out for sure just what it contains. One
nan in the county has a patch OF
ouack grass as a result Of too much
confidence in the distributor of bronze
grass. A sample of alfalfa seed recent
w came to this office which contained
field dodder seed. Here is what the
department of agriculture says about
dodder:
"Dodder is a parasitic vim attack
ing various plants. The g GERM
mates in the soil but after h =
attaches itself to the plant the stem
connected with the ground dies. IL
forms a tangled mass of yelloWlsh or
orange colored stems twining around
the host plant and bearing clusters OF
small, pinkish, yellowish or whitish
flowers. There are several kinds OF
dodder attacking different plants. The
more important ones are mentioned
below. Dodder should be avoided at
any cost and seed containing a trace
of dodder should not be sowed Where
a field has dodder only in spots 1t is
best to cut these spots before they
make seed, allow the hay to dry n
then burn with straw. Where a field
is very badly infested it is best TO
plow the field before the dodder seeds.
Glover dodder attacks both clover
and alfalfa. It's habit is to send out
vegetative stems close to the ground
from plant to plant, spreading very
rapidly. The Towering stems are sent
to the top of the plant. 1t destroys the
clover plants very rapidly.
