HEARING ON RESOLVE
FOR A COMMISSION TO
INVESTIGATE RAILROADS

This closed the hearing on that
bill and then was taken up the re-
solve providing for a commission to
conduct an investigation of the af-
fairs of the Maine Central railroad
and report TO tne Legislature Of
1927.
IF we keep on increasing freight
rates the smaller industries will dry
up asserted Senator = Wadsworth.
Freight rates enter into the NOV
ing of industries to the South as well
as labor" He said that he was will
ing to make some changes in the in
vestigation of the physical proper
ties of the railroads as they seem. |
in good condition. and the service
was good. He would be willing to
have a report made at al earlier
date, SO that it's findings might be
available for the budget committee
of the next Legislature.
Mr.. Linnell said he believed the
Wadsworth bill would afford an OPP
portunity for clearing the air and
would do away with feelings of sus-
Picion between the railroads and the
public. I'VE people of Maine ought
to go before the Interstate Com
merce Commission as a unit, not
with the railroads asking for one
thing and the people another"
George II. Eaton, general freight
agent OF the Maine Central answer
ing question by Senator Wads-
worth as to differentials said that
these, he supposed referred to the
rates brought about as result of
the operation of the Crank Trunk
and the Canadian Pacific railroads.
The intent of the Maine Central
was to retain those differential~ for
the benefit of Maine industries.
He also said that the Maine Cen
trail was not seeking an advanre in
rates before the Interstate Com
merce commission, but was there at
this time because of an order by the
commission, which said that certain
rates to Maine were now unlawful.
This was. for exam pies, those rates
from Bangor to the Hudson river
which were lower than tt ose to
points beyond the river.

ice all Of these infectious diseases
can be transmitted by the common

For this reason forty-six Of the
States have legislated against this
evil and hundreds Of cities and
towns have passed local ordi-
nances. Despite these legislative
warnings, however, men and wom-
en- will expose themselves to the
danger Of unclean glasses not only
in their homes. but in restaurants
theatres, hotels and most Of all In
soda fountains where the laws are
evaded. u
1t is the opinion Of most Of the
eminent authorities on preventablei
diseases that the removal Of this
single danger-this peril Of the
common cup-would reduce greatly
the figures for illness and DEATH
This recognition is responsible
for the bill that was introduced
last year in the Rhode Island legis-

glasses in soda fountains, which
measure in all likelihood will be
brought to passage at the present

Tasteful, nourishing and low in cost
bread is eaten at every meal in many
millions of homes. But it is not all
consumed as plain bread and butter.
There are myriad other ways in which
it is served to charm the palate and
at the same time utilize every bit of
the loaf-even to the crumbs.
MANY RECIPES.
In order to bring to light these
many ways. the Model Baking Com
pany recently conducted a contest for
recipes which call for the use of
bread. Many hundreds of excellent
recipes were received in response to
the announcement. Some of them
will be published from time to time

Berries Discovered by

Toward the end of the third CEN
fury monks, fleeing from persecu-

of Abyssinia, across the Red Sea from
Arabia. There they supported them
selves by tilling the soil and raising
flocks. One night one Of the good
fathers whose turn it was to watch
the goats and sheep came running
to the monastery, pale and trembling.
"The animals are bewitched," he
painted. "They gambol and play as
if it were a spring morning."

and | will 60 to the fold"
But the prior too found the goats
and sheep frisking in the moonlight
instead of sleeping as they should.
Night after night this continued, in
spite of prayers and exorcisms. BY
observing what plants the animals
browsed on, the prior at last convinced
him that the sleeplessness was due TO
the leaves and fruit Of certain UNI
familiar shrub which there grew in
profusion. Picking some of the ripe
cherry-like fruits, he chewcd the seeds.
and found that he too felt an unusual
cxhilaration and was wakeful that
night.
COFFEE DISCOVERED.
Thus coffee was discovered, accord
ing to one of the many legends cur
rent among the Arabs. However,
fanciful the story may be, the fact
remains that Abyssinia and Arabia
were the original homes of the coffee
shrub. We also know that by the
fifteenth century, pilgrims TO Mecca
used to drink an infusion Of the
roasted coffee bean to prevent drowsi-
ness during the long religious services
of the Mohammedan faith.
From t-sbia, the practice passed
to Constantinoplc, Venice, thence to
England, France and other European
countries. Coffee houses sprang up
speedily and became the favoritc re-
