public, that they did not appreciate
the difficulties with which he had to
contend on the Main street project.
That he had put as many men on the
work as he could handle advantage
ously and economically. That the
work could not be rushed on account
of being nndcT the necessity of main

Mr. II. C. Strong, representing the
Standard Oil Co., protested against
the raising of the valuation on the
Standard Oil plant and stO:'k to double
what it was worth last year, as be
ing contrary to the agreement of the
previous council. In the discussion
that followed, it developed that there
was a wide difference in opinions as
to the terms and parties in the agree
ment; Mr. Strong contending that
the Standard Oil Co., was not repre
sented at the meeting formulating
the agrement. Upon motion, action
on tho matter was deferred for fur
ther consideration.
Manager Wilke of the New England
Fish Co., appeared before the Conueil
objecting to the assessed valuation
placed on the stock at their plant,
the same having been fixed by the
equalization board at $8,000.00 for
taxation purposes. Mr. Wilke present
ed an inventory showing the same
to have an actual value at the time
of assessment of about $3,200.00. Up
on motion, action was deferred until
further consideration.

the Trustee’s sale of lots, and the
proposed Cliff Ave.. walk the Coun

SAYS CONSUMPTIVES
NEED MUCH LIME
John P. Kussel, formerly a pro
fessor of diseases of the lungs at the
New York Post-Uraduate Mcdieui
School and Hospital and authori
ty on tuberculosis, has recently v, nt
ten an assay on ‘ ‘ Lime Starvation ’' as
a cause of fatal termiuation iu pul
monary tuberculosis.
He says that in many cases there
are insufficient materials m the body
to wall off tuberculosis area even if
we could be sure that all tubercle ba
cilli were dead. One of these very im
portant substances is lime. Another
is the phosphates.
To supply these in sufficient quanti
ty the patient is obliged to take a
milk-and-egg mixture, which is made
as follows: Take two eggs. beat,
strain and mix with sufficient milk to
make one quart. Add four teaspoon
fulls of dilute hydrochloric acid (U. S.
P.) and stir until thouroughy mixed.
Lottie the mixture and put into an
ice chest. The entire quart should be
used in one day and a fresh supply
made each morning.
Pat is a very necessary element in
supplying the body tissues with new
energy to take the place of that used
up in fighting the bacilli and their
poisons. Dr. llussell has invented an
emulsion of oils which is not only pal
atable, but highly nutritious. A table
spoon full of this disolved in a whole
glass of hot water is taken night anti
morning. And a tablespoonfull is ad
ded to the dose every three days un
til four tablespoonsfull are taken with
each dose in a whole glass of hot
water. This should be continued for
a considerable time.
A gain in weight of from one-half
to one pound each week should be the
result if the patient's resistance Is
not too low or the disoase process too
far advanced.

“The enemy in force counter-at
