aversion To it, Similar differences have been
observed i'm the human race. Plutarch was puzzled
by discovering that the Egyptians did not salt their
food. SaIIust says that the Numidians of his day
likewise refrained from the practice. 1t appears
by the way. that the Numdians lived almost eN-
clusively upon milk and meat. as do the Bedouin
Arabs and the Kirghizes of Turkestan. who also
let salt alone. Certain fish eating Sberians evince
the same disposition. do other Siberians, VINO
subsist reindeer and other game In North
America the time of its earliest invasion by the
Europeans. many aboriginal tribes that lived by
hunting Indifferent to the salt deposits of the
country whereas other tribes. of agricultural
habits fought fiercely over those resources.
From these and other facts a Swiss psychologist.
Bunge, concludes that the desire for salt arises
mainly from a vegetarian diet. Among the animals
it is observable in the herbvora. but not in the
carnivora In like manner the craving or indiher-
ence in man seems to depend upon the character
of his food. While Dastre agrees with Bunge IN
this statement of the case, he does not accept the
Switzer's explanation of the relations between
vegetable diet and the salt eating habit. Bunge
notes that plants contain much potash than
meat does and that the chloride of sodium is re-
Quired somehow TO offset this in the internal econ
omy of man or animal that lives on vegetables
While presenting other theory to account for
the prediction shown by vegetarians NJ. Dastre
is impressed with a showing made BY another
psychologist, Lapicque. That authority remarks
that taste for condiments of one kind or another
is common to such races The Abyssinian counter
acts the tastelessness OF his millet with sauce
containing pimento. In India curry is similarly
employed with rice One of the most recent dis
coveries of another investigator PawIow. is that
condiments do more than please the palate They
promote digestion BY stimulating the secretion
of gastric juice. they facilitate the action of the
stomach Condiments thus appear to have dis
tinct physiological office.
Salt however, does more than spices, according
TO NJ Dastre. One OF the most important con-
stituents of the gastric juice is hydrochloric acid.
Chloride OF sodium supplies part of the material
needed for it's manufacture. in addition to stimu-
lating the output. The salt which is associated
with food Is not thus converted without going

and taken into the blood. Secretion by the stom
ach lining draws upon that store. but the salinity
of the blood. having been diminished by subtrac-
ton. must be maintained by addition. Just how
the salt Of the blood is decomposed by the gastric
glands is a matter which physiological chemists
are not agreed. But for present purposes the
method is unimpOrtant. The essential fact is that
the salt IS used up. and must be replaced.

BASE BALL.
WOODSTOCK 4, HARTFORD /.

The Woodstock ball team opened
up under its new management by
beating the Hartfords Al Saturday
in the prettiest game yet played this
season. The only change in the
team was the shifting of Hazen from
third TO second and Sawyer from
second to third. The men played
ball all the time with great una
nimity and the proceedings kept the
grand stand in an uproar. And the
visitors got their share of the APP
plause.
Holbrook pitched fast game
and Spaulding for Hartford kept his
enemies hunting Tor the ball. For
four innings neither side scored, the
helpless batsmen mostly whacking
away at nothing.
In the first of the fifth Haraden
got first on an error and finally
scored on single by o. Watkins.
In Woodstock's half two wild
throws of the visitors allowed
Taylor and Sawyer to skate over the
plate
No more scoring was done until

SHOT BY ROBBERS.
A Chester dispatch says:

"A NneStcf d1Spatch says:
Clarence A. Adams, Il prosperous
farmer living Il mile and half from
Chester, while returning from that
village at $50 Monday night was
stopped by two men armed with
revolvcrs, who threatened to shoot.
He informed the men that he had
no money; whereupon one of them
shot him, the charge entering his
groin, making dangerous wound.
The horses were frightened and ran
home with Mr.. Adams in the bottom
of the wagon. Doctors summoned
said Mr.. Adams had little chance of
recovery.
About the time OF the shooting
two men armed went to nearby
farm house and demanded admit
ance. One of the occupants of the
house got out and spread the alarm
but the two disappeared. They
were probably the same men who
held up Adams. No clue to the
men has been found as vet.
