The Output

The output is the key note to

price at which to sell, a manu-
facturer, no matter what arti-

how many he is likely to sell,
and bases HE charge acc ordin9

If a tailor sells only two suits

Readers OF yesterdays dispatches
from Rome must have had a few such
thoughts as these. The proceedings OF
10 organization in the world are more
jealousy guarded from the public than
the deliberations of the sacred college
Of cardinals in session to elect a pope.
The people are not supposed to know
anything about what goes on there.
The name Of the man finally chosen by
the conclave is the only Information to
which, according to time honored pre-
cedent, they are entitled.
And yet notwithstanding the elab-
crate precautions taken at the vatican.
the first papal ballot had hardly been
concluded when the fun details were
in the hands Of the reporters. We were
told just how many votes each car
dinal received, how the ballots We're
cast. what the prospects for those who
are in the lead are. and all the other
fine little details which go to show that
there was no guess work about the
report. It would not have been sur
prising if the dispatches had told for
whom each cardinal voted.
Almost it looks as if a reporter was
present during the conclave. As this.
OF course. was impossible, we must
conclude that one of the cardinals or
one Of the attendants on the cardinals
has been talking. There was a leak
somewhere. 1t may be discovered and
stopped, but other leaks viii be found.
for the reporters are in Rome in search
of news.

SALTS WONDERFUL EFFECT

THE WONDERFUL EFFECT OF
/ salt on the human system has
again been successfully demonstrated
The case was that Of an 11-year-
old New York girl, who was operated
on for appendicitis in its last stage, ac-
companied by an intestinal tumor. on
the operating table the patient. to all
appearances, suddenly collapsed and
died Her pulse was absolutely still
and it is said that rigor mortis was
apparent.
As q last resort the surgeons con-
cluded to try the effect OF a salt soiu-
ton. Two gallons OF it, in the pro-
portion OF a teaspopnful of salt to a
quart of warm water, were used in
flushing the intestines and viscera.
Then a vein in the child's arm was
opened and about eight ounces OF the
solution injected. The results were all
that could possibly have been desired.
To the surprise of the most hopeful
ii the surgeons. the patient almost inn
mediately began showing signs Of life.
In the end she recovered consciousness
and at last reports was progressing
case becomes more remarkable when
Il is stated that at least one surgeon
refused to operate on the child because
he was sure she would die under the
knife.
The New York case was not the first
instance in which salt has been used to
restore persons. at the edge OF the
grave. IL has been administered in So
luton with splendid results on other
occasions. An Ohio case of typhoid
fever is on record where salt injec-
tons saved the life Of the patient aft
er all other remedies had failed. The
life Of a Nebraska congressman was
saved by salt as was the life Of a st.
Louis man who was shot through the
lungs.
Indiana records the case Of a woman
in cxtremis, who was revived by a
saline injection. Not very long ago
Professor jacques Loeb. OF the Univer-
sity of Chicago. at the close OF a long
series Of exhaustive experiments. made
the fiat announcement that in com
mon salt he had found the elixir Of life.
The incalculable value Of these dis
coveries to the medical profession ana
the public is apparent
salt is the commonest thing in the
world, unless dirt be excepted. YET
we know that since the beginning os
civilized creation salt has been con-
sidered one Of the indispensabIes. It
is only within recent years, however.
that the therapeutic value Of salt has
become recognized. The accessibility OF
the remedy and the case with which it

a CURE FOR LookJAw.

u LEADERS OF THE DISPATCH from
N San Francisco in which was made
the announcement that a case of lock-
jaw had been cured in one of the hos
pitfalls there. should not come to the
conclusion that a specific for lockjaw
has been found. This is by no means
the first instance in which lockjaw has
been successfully treated, although it
must be admitted that such cases are
extremely rare.
From all accounts the San Francisco
remedy was harder on the patient than
the disease. We are told that anti
toxin was first injected into the mus
Giles of his back. AS this did not have
the desired effect he was given two
more injections IN the same place. No
improvement being observable. the
anti-toxin was next injected into the
spinal canal, in two places. Still there
was no Improvement and, as a last re-
sort a hole was drilled through the
skull and anti-toxin injected into the
lateral ventricle.
After months of illness the sufferer
is now said to be well along the road
to recovery. While The case is a. re-
markable one, 1t is safe to say that
hardly one patient III a thousand pos
sesses a sturdy enough constitution to
resist such treatment. The one who
recovered was an Italian laborer who
had been injured in IN explosion. Under
ordinary circumstances the individual
attacked by lOcliaNv 0iee in a fe,,- dove
after undergoing suffering too terrible
to contemplate.
The very fact that this man lived
through several months of the treat
ment administered to him indicates
that he possessed an extraordinarily
powerful physique. One is inclined to
believe he might have gotten well if
he had had no treatment at all. IN
deed, he might have recovered sooner
than he did had il not been for the ex-
periments conducted by the surgeons.
a cure for lockjaw is stiu beyond the
reach Of scientists. although IT cannot
be said that no progress in that direc-
ton is being made Few things would
be more heartily welcomed by the med
ical fraternity than a lockjaw specific.
or even a remedy that would cure a
fair percentage Of the cases Tetanus
anti-toxin has accomplished a good deal
toward the prevention of lockjaw but,
except in the San Francisco intance,
it has done little toward the cure of the
disease after it has once fastened itself
upon a victim.

AS INVESTMENTS.

HAVE YOU TAKEN your vacation
IL yet? If you haven't get started as
soon as you can. The wisest invest
ment any worker can make is in a va
cation. Many employers. though I'M
fortunately not all, make a practice of
giving their employees a vacation of at
least one week on full pay every sum-
mer They do this because they realize
that the man or woman who has a va
cation comes back to work ready to Ia
Dor more efficiently, more cheerfully
than ever In the long run the employ
er profits as much oy the vacation of
his employee as the individual directly
benefited
However. the fact that an employer
Is so short-sighted as TO be unwilling
20 give those who work for him a va
cation on pay, does not constitute a
reason why the employee should go
without a vacation. We hear so many
people who work for salaries or wages
say they cannot afford to take a va
cation. Such individuals are sadly mis-
guided. The real truth is that they
cannot afford not to take vacation.
The expense of an outing, aside from
the loss Of salary, is trihing.
What you need is rest To rest you

seashore, the Puget sound or the hunt
Ing country. Trips of this character
ERE very pleasant anG very desirable,

majority of the people There are plenty
of places i'm which the most delicious
kind of rest may be enjoyed within a
few miles of salt Lake. An old tent

complete the outfit.
A drive OF three hours takes you very
close to nature. A tram ride of an hour

with a bed of pine boughs between you

cheaper to take a modest vacation out
ing than it is to stay at home.
Until your employee comes to a rea-
LIKING sense of his responsibility, take
vacations on your own time. See if
YOU don't do better work and more Of it
than the fellow who stays at home.
Better work and more of it means
promotion, so from the sordid stand
point the one who takes a vacation is
the gamer. There ought to be law
requiring employers TO give vacations
on pay to their employees. but that law
will probably be found running a neck
and-neck race with the millennium
