Lime Starvation
Causes tuberculosis

The Medical Record New York;
Of December 1S, 1909, contains an
article ON "The Treatment Of Pull
mOuary Tuberculosis, Based ON the
Assumption That the Dietetlc Cause
Of the Disease In Lime Starvation"
by DIR. John r., Russell, who hHsss
"The condition which IL recognized
as preceding the active development
OF tuberculOHis in the adult may be
considered az due to lime starvation.
Among inorganic substances
lime salts appear 10 be of special
physiological importance
but II the salts nre not in organic
combination IL ls difficult 20 suppose
that the cells can appropriate them
for food"
Years of widespread use confirm
us in the belief that the success Of
Eckman's Alternative in cases ~ pull
monary tuberculosis (consuu tion)
and chronic throat and bronchial
troubles is due in large measure to
its content OF lime, so combined with
other ingredients as to be cas- ap-
propriated by the cells.
Doubtless this has had much to
do with the results obtained in many
cases Of these affections, which ap-
pear to have yielded to Eckman's
Alternative.

or habit-forming drugs, II is safe

Old Man WimpoIe, the~woman-
hater strobe down the street Of-FuX-
tree, a new benignity in his manner,
a new hat on his head and a flower in
his buttOnhOIe. He went toward the
station and presently assembled the
hill again beside a very pretty young
woman, who looked a little self-cOn-
scious under the scrutiny Of the
neighbOTs.
His fourth" said Mr.. Stiles, the
druggist, to his assistant
mo, l guess he's advertised so
much in his business, with such sue
cess, that he things he can get re-
suits the same way in his domestic
arrangements"
Old Man WimpOle, who had never
married, had, in fact, scandaized the
neighbors by advertising that he
wished to adopt a daughter. The
news had been published in sur
rounding cities, and, as a result, nu-
merOus young women had climbed
the hill, to retire baffled in their
quest.
The quest was worth while, for old
man Wimpole was worth 100000.
Finally the choice settled upon
Miss Higginson, who remained just
a week The next was a Miss Gray,
who stayed 13 days. Miss Fellow,
her successor, lasted a month and
half, and had expressed the opinion
to Mr.. Stiles only the day before leav-
ing, that she thought her job was Sc

Why old man Wimpole had de-
tached three successive females from
his household he proceeded to eX-
plain to Amelia Darragh, who, all
agreed as she assembled the hill, was
the best-lOoking and the most lady
like of the lot.

Railroad Valuation
(From The Washington Postl

1t will be interesting to learn where
the demand for the valuation of the
railroad properties OF the country
originated. This was one of those
reforms in. which the public took very
little interest. and yet il was pressed
with the greatest yigof on the floor
Of Congress Because few persons un-
derstOod the subject or cared much
about It, the law proYidng for the
valuation was passed
President Elliott. OF the New Haven
Railroad, speaking on the Federal
railroad valuation law. asserted re-
Gently that il will cost the railroads of
the country and the government from
S4O.0dOOO0 to S75.0OO,OOO. The New
Haven Railroad alone will have TO
pay more than half a million dollars
as its share in the work that rs being
done at the instance of Congress.
Mr. Elliott asked whether the coun-
try would not be better off if the same
amount of money had been spent for
the countless improvements needed
on the railroads While the railroads
are more prosperous now than they
have been for some time, there is a
noticeable absence Of development or
extension work The railroads feel
p that they must conserve their income
FOR the proper maintenance OF exist
ing facilities the payment Of wages
and the payment of dividends which

No will question Mr.. Brandeis intellectual
