SALT NOT A CURE-ALL.
""hat Ii One Mans Meat Is Another
Mans Poison" IL n True
Saying.

The usefulness of saline prepara-
uons in the treatment of certain phys.
ical conditions was widely recognized
by the medical profession years ago.
but no doctor of sound mind believe.
that any new "elxir of life" has been
discovered in salt combinations or in
anything else. Who was the ancient
sage who said: "One mans meat is an
other mans poison?" Various salts
may, Of course, be beneficial to one pa.
tient and injurious to another, but ns
sodium compounds, chlorides or phos,
pilates will cure everybody, says the
New York Tribune. Gen. PleasantoI
thought at one time that he had found
the true secret of long life and the uni
versal healer in exposure to sunlight
passing through blue glass. For sever.
al years in the '70s the blue glass craze
had wonderful popularity in New
York and other cities and azure-tinted
windows and glass rooms on roofs were
plentiful in the Murray hill quarter of
Manhattan. That delusion died away
and all the experiments in stimulating
motion in the hearts of dead turtles b,
salt saturation will soon be forgotten.
The ablest physicians in this coun-
try and everywhere else are alway
glad to test thoroughly any new prep
aration which may help their pa
tients and they certainly have no
prejudice against any saline mixtures
or amalgamations which NAV give
promise of usefulness. But the aver
age man or woman should not take
up an exclusive diet OF corned beef
and salt pork or increase extensively
the daily consumption of salt in any
form without consulting a competent
medical adviser. Salt will not trans
form extreme age into lusty youth. A.
Mephistopheles transformed Faust,
nor will it prolong life to a hundred
years, even if it is absorbed in pro
fusion. As n western humorst re
marked, Lots wife is not now living.
But surely there was no lack of salt
in her case.

THE CHEERFUL VIEW OF LIFE.
Affect Not Oaly the Mind But
the Health as Well.

There is . form of mental disease
which may be designated as intro
spection. The mind is turned in upon
itself, or at best, toward the body.
Now, neither the mind nor body was
ever intended to be an object of wor-
ship or constant study. The external
world and all that is in it were in
tended for our thought and contem-
plation. There are many whose
minds have dwelt SO much upon their
bodies that they imagine diseases Of
one kind or another are always pres
ent. In some instances this morbid
ness leads directly to the acquisition
Of certain forms of illness. Let the
mind be directed upon the world OF
people and interests outside Of self,
and there will be a healthier and
more normal activity of all the func-
tions than il we constantly study our
shortcomings, either real or fancied.
Andit is only by taking a cheerful and
contented view of the world around
that we can acquire and maintain
that beauty OF face and expression
which IL the indelible mark of self
control and education, says the
Ledger Monthly.
The habit Of looking on the bright
side Of life Is contagious, and it can
not long be. resisted by an individual
thrown into daily contact with it.
And cheerfulness, hopefulness and
happiness are habits that can be
formed and grated upon our lives so
that it is impossible to break them.
The old saying that we are creatures
OF habit would have the most bene-
fetal effect in life if we would but
take it in its broadest sense and ap-
preciate the fact that it is just as
easy to cultivate cheerful habits as
it is to drift into complaining, wor-
rying and disagreeable ones. Some
do not drift into the latter, either, so
much as they actually cultivate them.
They seem to take delight in nursing
their griefs, sorrows, disappointments
and failures, and day by day they
think of them until they become pet
hobbies. 1t is no wonder that they
have a narrow and hopeless outlook
on life, and that the very atmosphere
in which they live is charged with
pessimism and despondency.
Probably woman needs the proper
mental and physical balance more
than man because of her influence
In the home and society. Her mission
In life Of bringing comfort, cheer and
happiness into the homes and lives Of
all requires that she should have .
clear and unbiased view of things.
To do this, her mind and body must
be well balanced. Good health is es-
sential to her peace Of mind and
cheerful spirit and hopeful, en-
sours9ins and happy personality

MAKES PICKLES ON SHARES.

Novel Sch eme-GrOcers Her
Partners.

Every woman of economical instincts
experiments with madeover dishes. pro
vided she is keeping house. If things
are being wasted there is sufficient
cause for worry, and usually she sets
about remedying the evil. But there
is an element Of newness about one
woman's methods. Her care for the
|eftovers has branched out to include
the corner grocery, with its fruits and
vegetables. After two years trial sh.
has found out that her thoughtfulness
pays, says the Buffalo Express.

thought the matter over and finally
determined that l would make him a
proposition. 1t was this, that he would
allow me to take all vegetables and
fruits that were not fresh enough
to bring the best prices and preserve
and pickle them on shares. He was to
dispose Of them in his shop.
HE was quite willing, and now for
two years have been making as many
pickles and preserves as | have the
time to give to the work. All of his left
overs are sent to me, and make them
up and send them back to be sold at
fair price. His store has gained the
reputation Of having homemade
pickles and preserves, and since there is
always demand for such things he is
pleased not only to have his unsaleable
fruits and vegetables saved, but to sell
the preserves and pickles. I also make
wines and cordials when he receives
orders for them, but not otherwise.

when there are the fewest vegetables
