THE WOMAN WHO TAINTED
A Lesson ON Courtesy In a Crowded
London TheRter.

A Lesson ON Courtesy In a Crowded
London Theater.
Here is an example of the courtesy
and good feeling of the twentieth cen
fury. How are we to account for it?
The worst of it is that in such case
the innocent suffer for the guilty. When
a woman does really faint, there will
be some hesitation before she receives
a seat, consolation and brandy.
In an overcrowded pit of one of the
London theaters the other night lady,
who was standing, suddenly became
very faint, and another lady sitting
near kindly offered her her seat. Not
only this, but, seeing that she did not
recover quickly, she went and fetched
some restoratives from the refreshment
room, whereupon the lady quickly re-
covered and began to thoroughly enter
into the spirit Of the play. apparently
quite oblivious of her benefactress.
AS time went on she was asked by
her benefactress If she would object to
her sitting down again. But the other
would none of 1t. Now have seat
mean to keep ity' she replied. Where.
upon her benefactress gently reminded
her shat she had paid for her seat and
thought that she had every right to re-
turn to it. But no amount of talking
would apparently move the former.
A gentleman sitting near. having
watched the episode. leaned forward
and said, do you intend to give up
your seat2' NO" was the reply. Up
he spranG and gently lifted her out of
It. An onlooker said to lady next to
her, II like that man" THANK you"
was the reply; "he is my husband"
There seems to be no limit to the re.
sources used by some people to secure
what they have not paid for. The lady
was no more faint than any one else ia
the audience. London Free Lance.

Although In treaties on dletetics salt
figures as condiment, 1t Is universally
recognized to be something more; In
deed it is an Indispensable element of
the food of man and animals. A well
known authority asserts. says The
Medical Press and Circular. that when
ever the annual consumption of salt
falls below twenty pounds per head OF
population the public health Is likely
to suffer. The deprivation of salt does
not produce a definite disease, but re-
duces the vitality Of the organism as a
whole, so that the victims OF admins
trative measures which restrict the
CONSUMPTION of salt more readily fall
prey to prevailing epidemics, as well
as to endemic maladies.

Christianity was called upon to give
an Illustration of the sacred Scripture,
Blessed are the pure In heart; for

is hard to worship a God who cannot
be seen" said he, and that you have
no inward evidence of His actually. A
mirror from which all the quicksilver
had dropped might as well complain
that 1t could find no trace of the OBJ
jects placed before 1t. Clean thoughts,

Cubans Urge the Establishment OF

INVITED pRESIOENT
INVITED PRESIDENT
To Visit Cuba---Senor Cap0te,
President of Commission, Adj
vOcates Prompt Action.

Washington. The Cuban delega
tion completed its labors in Washing
ton Saturday. They will sail for Ha-
vana Wednesday At the White
House Senior Capote, as spokesman
for the delegation, thanked the presi
dent for the courtesies shown them
and invited the executive to visit
Cuba, sea conditions there and learn
of the affection which the Cubans
have for the United States and their
appreciation of what has been done
for them by the government.
Senior Capote asked the president to
do something for the Cubans in the
manner of reciprocal trade relations,
before the next crop was harvested,
that the Cubans may realize the need
of closer political and economic rela-
tions with the United States.
The president said it was impos-
sible to settle the economic questions
ahead of political questions. He told
the delegates to form their govern
ment and then enter into trade nego-
tiations with the United States. Sc
nor Capote responded that something
ought to be done while the Cuban
government was forming. He told
the president that the Cuban republic
did not wish to be born in poverty
and rags, and if it could be wealthy
it would at least prefer to have some
thing with which to support itself
and to have its people in prosperity
or with prosperous conditions imme-
diately before them. The president
replied that he would appoint CON-
missioners Immediately after q gov
eminent was formed to act with SINH
lar commissioners of the Cuban gov
eminent for the reciprocal trade
relations and he believed that the
United States would be ready to deal
in O manner which would be bene-
fcial to both countries.
The delegates then shook hands
with the president and departed.
General Wood left tonight for Flori-
da, whence he will sail on a govern
ment vessel for Cuba.
There is general impressi OF
| among those who have been in close
touch with the Cuban delegates thai
| they will recommend the acceptance
| of the Plat amendment by the con-
stitutional convention when they re-
| turn to Cuba.
