This helped to improve the general business outlook. Cash was returned in large vadume to the banking centers and emergency currency was rapidly retired. Plans to open the federal reserve banks Monday and the consequent low ering of reserve requirements were pro nounced factors in easing money rates. Barge gold exports to Ottawa ac companied the payment of New York City’s maturing foreign obligations. This resulted in a drop In foreign exchange rates to well below the gold export point for the first time since the war began. Important steps were taken toward removing restrictions on trading in se curities and there was Increased hope of an early re-opening of the stock ex change, at least to dealings for cash. The New York and New Orleans cotton exchanges will resume operations Mon day and local mjtal exchange already is underway. General markets showed sensitiveness to rumors of peace. Enormous receipts were also reported. Improved credit facilities Imparted cheerfulness to the steel trade but did not Induce fresh buy- ing. Gross earnings of railroads show ed severe shrinkage with the effect of j cattle quarantines still to be determined. Almost half of the excess cash re- j sdrves reported by clearing house hanks , last week was lost this week. The heavy outflow of gold to Canada caused a | cash loss of about $7,200,000 and a da crease in reserves from $15,915,000 to $7,414,000. Longa again showed a mark ed contraction. Lime Starvation Causes Tuberculosis The Medical Record (New York) of I December 18, 1909, contains an article on “The Treatment of Pulmonary Tubercu losis, Based on the Assump lon That the Dietetic Cause of the Disease Is Lime Starvation,” by Dr. John F. Russell, who says: “The condition which Is recognized as preceedlng the active development of tuberculosis in the adult may be con sidered as due to lime starvation. * * * Among inorganic substances lime salts appear to be of spt lal physiological Im portance * * * but if the salts are not In organic combination It Is difficult to suppose that the cells can appropriate them for food.” Years of widespread use confirm us In the belief that the success of Eck man’s Alterative in cases of pulmonary tuber culosis (consumption) and chronic throat and bronchial troubles is due in laYge measure to its content of lime, so com bined with other ingredients as to be easily appropriated by the cells. Doubtless this has had much to do ' with the results obtained in many cases of these affections, which appear to have , yielded to Eckman's Alterative. As it contains no opiates, narcotics or | habit-forming drugs, it is safe to try. YouV druggist will order it for you or ; j r ou can send direct. Eckman Laboratory, Philadelphia.
