SALT AS ELIXIR.

French physician found for him in a
salt Of sodium. Researches made by
Professors Loeb and I.;nsle of the Unit

heart, il indeed it does not produce
cardiac action. have attracted mu h at
tention abroad. The French phyeicians
have for several years been using phos-
phate OF sodium. and especially the
giycero phosp pirate of sodium, to awak-
en- the siumbering vitalities. They con-
tend that in rare cases the glycero
phosphate does more than stimulate.
1t even increases strength. Mr.. Hewitt
has been so greatly benefited by the use
OF glycero phosphate of sodium that his
physician declares he has practically
Cbtained new hold on life.
Mr.. Hewitt when seen at his home
said that he did not care to discuss the
matter. He admitted, however, that he
had taken the salt of sodium under the
advice of a physician, altho he declined
TO say whether or not the remedy had
been of benefit TO him.
He thought the matter was of too
personal a nature to discuss and did
not believe that anything he might say
would be OF any scientific value. He
continued;
Suppose the remedy had been of any
use In my case, might it not be found
that in the case Of the next man IT
would be absolutely uecless? 1t is not
proper for me to recommend any rem
edy. No patient should do that. If
should express my opinion upon this
subject I should be deluged with let
tere. There Is no such thing as a cure
all. All that can be said Is that took
the remedy under the advice of a physi-
cian. The recommending of any rem
b edy as a panacea begets quackery and
nostrums. IfSthe public wishes to learn
of the yalue OF the salt as a remedy my
physician could give information OF
scientific value"

MAY BUY ISLANDS,
British Favor American Ownership
of Danish Nv est indies


London. Jan. 2.There is no conflr-
mation in diplomatic circles in London
ofathe run1ors which are sconst .ly re-
ported fron German and American
sources that the state department is
Danish West Indies.
1t was an pen secret a year ago that
the Danish court vas sounded upon the
general subject BY a confiisntia diplo-
matte agent, and that tine state de-
partment was iiv a position TO obtain
the islands II 1t wished to gain possess
sion Of two good harbors on the lines of
approach to the Nicaragua or Panama
canal. The negotiations have not been
pressed at Copenhagen, nor have con-
ferencss been abandoned. 1t is u slug
gish little capital. where the king and
his ministers require time for working
out any new departure in policy.
The German government has dis
claimed any idea OF purchasing the
Islands, but it will be pleased without
doubt if negotiations Between the Unit
ed States and, Denmark for the cession
of the group do not come 20 amy hing.
The diplomatic view here is that if the
Washington government should obtain
the Islands before committing itself to
any definite canal policy it would be
the cheapset and surest safeguard
against a future challenge of the Nom
roe doctrine by European pow wer.s

HIGHLAND LIGHT DAMAGED

Seattle, Dec. 23.-The old bark High
land Light, which sailed from this port
two weeks ago with cargo Of Black
Diamond coal for Lahaina, Hawai-,
sprung a-leak in the recent severe
storm off Cape Flattery and had to put
into Barclay sound, Vancouved island,
for safety. She is in a generally dis
abled condition. so much so in fact that
the tug Tattoosh has been dispatched
to her assistance. The Tatoosh's in
structions are to tow the disabled craft
probably arrive Monday.
Capt. John b. Libby, manager OF the
tugboat company, says the Highland
Lights present plight is convincing
evidence that the late storm which WAS
supposed to have extended but short
distance off Cape Flattery was very
general over the Pacific; that 1t mus;
have reached out 1000 miles or more
to the westward. He reaches this con-
clusion from the fact that the High
land Light left two weeks ago and
must have been well on her way to the
Hawaiian Islands when overtaken by
the storm.
In her battle with the gales the BARK
lost her mizzenmast, had her bulwarks
washed away She was evidently
caught in the same storm which caus-
ed the return of the steamers Rainier,
Rival, Robert Dollar and Charles D.
Lane.
