The willingness of Henry Ford to
give his entire fortune to end the
war in Europe seems generous
enough. And yet the Ford fortune
would be equivalent to no more than
the expense of very brief period of
fighting.

LIME AND TUBERCULOSIS

DR.. Roberts Bartholow, former pro-
fessor in Jefferson Medical College. Phil
adelphia, and widely famed medical
writer says in the eighth edition of his
authoritative Materia Medica $3.50, on
pages 215 and PIG:
Clinical experience has shown that It
referring to calcium salt possesses
the ill-defned property known as altera-
tive, removes certain toxic or morbific
materials and secures their secretion by
the organs Of elimination. The
testimony which has lately been pub
in consumption is certainly very strik-
ing"
OF course. he does not refer to testi-
mony published regarding results OBJ
tanned through the use of Eckmans AL
terative, since the medical profession
makes 1t a rule never publicly to recon-
mend proprietary remedies. However,
there is large accumulation of such tes-
timony, covering many cases of con-
sumption and allied throat and bronchial
affections. which seem to have yielded
completely to this remedy
Doubtless this success is due largely to
the fact that in Eckmans Alternative a
calcium Qime) salt is so combined with
other valuable ingredients as to be easily
assimilated by the average person.
1t contains neither opiates narcotics
nor habit-forming drugs; it is safe to
take. Your druggist has it or will get

STATE REGISTRATION FOR
NURSES-ITS BENEFITS

NOW that state registration is the sub
Ject of prime importance to the Maine
nurses, Ii seems fitting to state some of
the advantages TO the physicians, the
general public and to the. nurses them
selves, Of the proposed bill
While registration binders no one. how
ever unskilied, from practicing nursing,
it does enable others who are fitted to
take up branches of the work along
higher lines in the many fields now rap
idly opening up to the trained nurse 1t
seems only right that the nurse who has
endured the necessary deprivations and
discipline of the Irregularities, and who
has conformed to the requirements stat
ed in the proposed bill Should have some
method of distinction from the one who
has not come up to the allotted stand
ard.
Registration places the training school
on an educational basis by maintaining
a standard curriculum which has now
become necessary i'll order to be recos-
nized by the bureau of education at
Washington. This recognition is neces-
sary, for most of the desirable positions
now open, and ever increasing. are only
available to the nurse who is a regis
tered nurse.
Maine has produced more great states
men than almost any other state 1t
produces just as good nurses as any
other state in our beautiful country: and
1t would be pity for them to be turned
down because their State laws did not
put them on as high an educational basis
as other states. There are states where
such law is compulsory. There the
nurse could not practice her profession
without breaking a state law, and she
could not take the examination unless
her own state had equally high stand
ards. True there are others more len
lent, but if IS states have found it a
wise law. is it not good for Maine?
