SHOULD FOOD BE sALTED2
rench Scientists Say There Is No Ne
cessity for the Condiment.

rench Scientists Say There Is No Ne
cessity for the Condiment.
This is no new question, but appar-
emily it is not settled yet. In an ex-
haustive discussion of 1t, NJ. Rene
Laufer concludes that while salt is alb
solutely necessary to the animal Or
ganism, enough of 1t for our needs is
contained naturally In our ordinary ar
ticles of food, so that the addition Of
1t as a condiment is superhuous. Tales
of disease caused by lack Of salt he
dismisses as untrustworthy. Says NJ.
Laufer:
"The desire for salt is certainly uni
versal. 1t seems to have been used
everywhere at all times and in all civ
ilizations. The same salt seasons to-
day the miserable portion Of the Sou
danese negro and the choice dishes of
European tables. The need
of salt is not limited to man; many ami
mails seek it with avidity. So
general a prediction, SO imperious a
desire should not be regarded as a sim
pie incident, that is certain; but do
they correspond to an unavoidable ne
cessity?"
Is 1t not curious that the chloride of
sodium should be the only salt that we
take from nature to add to those con-
tanned In our food itself? Other min
eral substances play a much more i'm
portant part in the constitution of the
tissues, the salts Of lime and the phos-
phate Of soda, for instance.
When we use these by themselves 1t is
as medicine.
"The taste for salt is not innate or
instructive; it is acquired. The moth
er's milk contains very little salt.
Cows milk has at least four times as
much, but even this amount the adult
who should live on milk alone-say,
three quarts a day-would take more
chloride than he needs.
Man in a state Of nature does not
salt his food. Primitive peoples who
lead a pastoral and nomadic life do
not add salt to what they eat.
The same is true Of animals. Dogs
and cats do not like salt. Even the
domestic herblvores get. along very
well If salt is not added to their food"
NJ. Laufer dlscredits all tales Of i'll
ness from the discontnuance of salt
The French soldiers who were said to
have suffered from lack Of salt in the
siege Of Metz did so, he says, simply
because they required it to hide the
taste Of the spoiled meat that they
were forced to eat The story Of the

EASY TO MAKE AN ENEMY.

Just Lend Your Friend Money and the
Trick Is Done.
Oh, the man who has asked me foI
a small loan.
My friend, you have asked me 70
the loan of a certain amount, Stain!
that you needed 1t only for shor
time and that you would pay me bacl
by a certain date.
In reply to your request | might
state that l happened to be short OF
ready cash just now and regret ex,
ceedingly that l can not comply with
your request.
But shall do none of this. l shall
refuse you the money on other grounds
grounds which l shall endeavor to
make plain to you, SO that the matter
may not again come up between us.
In the first place, | would have you
know at once that l am no moralist
My refusal is not based upon any alb.
surd notion as to the deteriorating ef.
feet that a compliance with your re.
quest may have upon your character
Whether to let you have the money
will do you good or will do you harm
is no concern of mine. You have ar.
rived at your present dilemma through
agencies which are entirely personal
to you. You may have inherited Ger.
tain weaknesses which make 1t impos.
sible for you to turn yourself to a
proper account. or circumstances may
have really been against you. But
whether 1t Is bad luck, fatalism or fol.
ly, is entirely outside of my province
to determine.
No, my friend, l am refusing you
the loan for other reasons, purely self.
ish.
The fact is that like you. Your
faults, so long as they do not obtrude
themselves upon me, do not matter.
But your virtues have contributed
much to my pleasure and satisfaction
in the past and, to be candid with you,
l am just grasping enough to wish
them to continue to do so In the fu.
ture.
The moment that we tamper with
money affairs all will then be over.
You may be a scamp or a scaawag
What matters this to me so long as
this part of you does not bother me-
Or If you are simply unfortunate the
same result follows.
And so, my friend, say to you, II
you will, borrow the money of some
other.
But leave the rest of yourself to me.

Gently, the French minister of foreign
affairs ordered the French minister in
Peking to demand the immediate pun
ishment of the murders. This Is not,
as it might seem, an unwarranted in

Of Belgium with China, but it is the
performance of duty laid on France
by its agreement with the Roman
Catholic Church, under which it exer-
cises a protectorate over the Catholic
missions in the far East.

A ROYAL Railroad.

The King of Siam cut the first turf
for the railroad at Bangkok. The
Minister of Public Works read a short
address, to which the King replied,
and then the King, taking an ivory
handled spade, thrust the silver blade
into the turf, which he transferred to
an ebony wheelbarrow. The crown
prince rundled the wheelbarrow along
a carpeted track about thirty yards in
length. followed by the King, the royal
family, and the assembled guests. The
turf, when removed from the ebony
wheelbarrOw, was sprinkled with con-
secrated water from a golden ever by
four priests. The national anthem was
played, and that ended the ceremony.

l.. FLElSCHMANN. MOIaNld, AuSlllhI
GS years ago He served III the Aus
trian army for several years and won
distinction for bravery at the battle
of Sadowa. He came to this country
thirty years ago and in 1876 establish
ed bakery and restaurant at the cor
ner Of Broadway and 10th street in
New York City. He soon built up
great business and accumulated n for
tune. One morning he found two or
three hungry wanderers outside the
door of the bakery He gave each of
them a loaf of bread and told them TO
call again. They were on hand the
next day, with recruits in their ranks.
Soon the daily crowd Of hungry ones
grew to big proportions. Then 1t was
that Mr. Fleischmann organized the
bread line" The loaves of bread re-
naming unsold during the day were
given away each night to those who
applied for them. No questions were
asked. The fact that man appeared
in the line was sufficient that he was
hungry and he was given some bread.
Sometimes there were 800 in line and
again the crowd would number 500
They represented all conditions and
classes. Occasionally a well-dressed
man, against whom the tide of fortune
had turned, would be seen in the
group. For twenty-eight years the
bread line has been in existence,
and it is estimated that during that
time 100000 loaves have been given
away. During cold winter nights Mr..
Fleischmann gave a cup of coffee
along with the bread to his strange
visitors. He also secured work for
hundreds Of unfortunates and gave
them a chance TO get on their feet

How old are you? The adage says
that women are as old as they look
and men as old as they feel That's
wrong A man and woman are as old
as they take themselves to be. Grow
ing old is largely habit Of the mind.
"As a man thinketh in his heart so is
he" If he begins shortly after middle
age to imagine himself growing old he
will be old. To keep oneself from
decrepitude is somewhat matter of
will power. The fates are kind to the
man who hangs on to life with both
hands. He who lets go, will go. Death
is slow only to tackle the tenacious
Ponce de Leon searched in the wrong
place for the fountain Of youth 1t is
in oneself. One must keep oneself
young inside. So that while 'the outer
man peTisheth the inner man is re-
newed day by day" When the human
mind ceases to exert itself, when there
Is no longer an active interest In the
affairs of this life, when the human
stops reading and thinking and doing
the man, like a blasted tree, begins to
die at the top. 1t is the spiritual part
that keeps men alive. Let one give
himself over to the lowest forces of his
nature and he will soon die Of animal
ism. Many a man is dead on his feet
and is only walking about to save
funeral expenses. He has educated his
children, accumulated competence,
accomplished his ideal and he retires
from his labors in order to linger and
die. Death readily accepts the invita-
ton. Slowly the world is learning the
secret of longevity. And the average
of the years of human life is being
raised no less by mind habit than by
improved conditions. You are as old
as you think you are. Keep the har-
ness on. Your job is not done.
