The hearing was closed by Atty. Gen.
Pattangall with perhaps the most sig
nidcant statement of the entire day Mr..
Pattangan said he spoke as one inter-
ested in the success Of the present ad.
ministration and referred to the tremen-
dous expense of such an investigation as
was proposed, if carried on by a legisla-
tive committee. He said competent men
could not be secured for S. day and ex-
penses, but that twice that sum would
only be fair compensation.
He declared that the Public Utilities
Commission was created for lust such a
purpose as this If they were not able
to undertake it. he said, the board should
be abolished. What he advocated was an
amendment to the public utilities law
putting two more men on the board.
And they need not be lawyer. If law
yers are objected to for such an investi-
cation as this" he said
MI Pattangan suggested that the new
board, constituted Of five, could perfectly

Lime-loss in tuberculosis.


In the Journal of the American Medical

following:
1T has been many times stated that
IN tuberculosis or in the pretubercuIosis
stage an increased amount OF calcium
Qlne) is lost both in the urine and feces
IN fact. a characterization has been
thought to be a forerunner of the de-
velopment of tuberculosis .
Forced feeding of tuberculosis ma
tients and the enormous amount of eggs
and milk once given such patients are
not now considered advisable by a large
number Of physicians who are Specialize
ing in the treatment Of pulmonary tuber-
culosiS."
II tuberculosis is due to q loss of lime
from the system, the success Of Eckman' 8

other valuable ingredients as to be easily

Always we have urged users of Eek

matters OF food.
In addition to rest and proper diet. some
effective remedial agent seems to be
needed, and in numerous cases of ap-
kindred throat and bronchial affections
Eckman's Alternative has supplied this

raised. He also thought the investiga-
ton was beyond the powers Of the
Utilities Commission. In his opinion,
the investigation ought to be complet-
ed in a year.
Hon. Seth M. Carter
In opening his remarks, which were
very brief, Hon. Seth NJ. Carter told the
committee that reference had been made
10 the roads request for an abatement
of taxes. At that time the road realized
that the Legislature could not act hon.
estly and tntelligentiy until it had all
the facts. 1t endeavored to furnish these
and told the committee that II there was
more information desired it would gladly
supply it. The committee had since ask
ed q questions and these had been an
swered by officials of the company.
It was true that last year Pres. Nc
Donald had said to Governor Haines that
in view of the condition of public mind
he would welcome an investigation made
by the State. Mr.. Carter rather inclin-
ed to the opinion that such an investiga-
ton would have been good thing.
It seemed to him tina, II an investiga-
ton such as this order called for was
to be made the committee should be one
which would be satisfactory. not only to
the grangers and the shippers. but to the
investors, for they were vitality inter-
ested.
$50 far as / know" said he, there is
not a thing connected with the Maine
Central Railroad to be covered up
Mr.. Carter intimated that Mr.. God
dard's expressed desire to know whether
tells was rather unnecessary, in view Of
the fact that had anybody gone to that
gentleman as a client he would have been
Informed. Speaking Of the loan to the
Boston & Maine. he said that the Maine
Central. as was customary. made loan
sufficient to cover all needs for a year
Instead Of banking, at per cent, the
surplus after Immediate needs were had,
they loaned the balance to the B. & NJ
at a higher rate Of interest Every dol
lar Of this, principal and interest, had
been paid.
Taking up the matter Of rates he said
that reference had been made to those
to Boston. Those were fixed by the In
terstate Commerce Commission and the
Maine Legislature had nothing to do with
them. The interstate rates came under
the Jurisdiction Of the Public Utilities
Commission. 1t seemed, said Mr.. Carter,
that the gentleman who complained was
not satisfied with the decision Of the In
terstate Commerce Commission. 1t made
no difference to him, said Mr.. Carter,
whether this investigation, II 1t were to
be made, was made by the Public Utili-
ties Commission or a legislative commits
