is always hazardous to prophecy in matters
pertaining to science. Nevertheless, one
may safely draw some legitimate conclu-
sions. In the 1erst place. We have proved

SALT SUSTAIN LIFE
This is evident from the many success

oasiy or by rubbing it on the surface. or

Nor do these experimental conditions
oiner TO any appreciable extent from those
conditions known to exist in the cell-build-
ing processes of the human body.
We may safely conclude, then, that not
only will medicine and surgery acquire an
important adjunct in sustaining and pro-
longing life in violent maladies and during
prolonged surgical operations, but where
death occurs from chloroform narcosis or
surgical shock the person may be brought
back to life and restored to friends; but

As to the possibility of developing the

the poor. innocent Prince should be

But who ever is to blame. the fad is

A handsomely appointed progressive
dinner was given by Doctor and Mrs. A.

dell hotel table with thirty-one
covers was laid in the ordinary. The
color scheme was red. A large basket
of American beauties was In the centre.
On either side of this were large bows
of wide red satin ribbon. and beyond
these were pots of red azaleas encircled
with garlands Of ribbon. Red candles I'm
silver sticks illumined the table. The
buffet was lighted by red candles I'm
brass candelabra- The dinner was
served in eight courses At the end of
each course the ladies' cards were taken
up by Misses Louise Hoover and Claire
Canon, and taken to the men, who each
drew one and thus were partners found
for the next course. After the banquet
the guests were entertained in the par
lors with piano music played by Miss
Maude Risser and Miss Claire Canon.

what lengths the indulgence in social
pleasures on the Sabbath is carried.
'I never thought to see card tables put
out in your drawing room on a Sunday
afternoon with five o'clock teal" ex-
claimed a Mortified woman of advanced
years, who felt compelled to speak her
mind to her grandniece, whom she was
visiting. "You say people are so much
broader minded nowadays? Well, all
can answer is, that I was not brought
up to consider the broad way the right
way. 1t was the narrow path we were
told to choose. Perhaps" she continued,
''you may remember where the broad
road was said to lead to-" And feeling
that she had the better of the argument
she marched from the room.
There has been such revolution in
regard to oldtime prejudices of late
years, and opinions have so diametrically
changed in regard to what is convention
ally right or wrong, that it is no won
der that those who consider the letter of
the law to be infallible, and cling to the
traditions in which they have been
brought up, feel that people are becom-
ing very lax about many matters which
used to be deemed all important, and
wonder where it will all end. Sunday
card playing is, it must be confessed,
somewhat startling even to the unpre-
judiced members Of the older generation,
while to those who have always looked
upon cards more or less distrustfully,
even on week days, to play cards on the
Sabbath seems positive desecration.
"And yet" said a liberal woman,
whose grown sons, after dutifuliy ac-
companying her to church In the morn
ing. were wont to ride or play golf in the
afternoon for exercise, or liked to return
home at dusk for a cup of tea and
rubber before dressing for dinner what
possible harm Is there in It? When they

That the social season is drawing to a
close is indicated by the fact that clubs
are already holding their last meetings"
The M. M. card club, the Jokers and La
Veta whist club, have ell closed their
season, and others will follow their ex-
amples soon.
Dinners are a popular form of enter
tainment at present. An invitation to
dinner has always been considered the
greatest social compliment that could be
paid to one, and regrets after a dinner
invitation are rare indeed. The Ward
dinners and that given by Doctor and
Mrs. Hoover were conspicuous successes
