THE FRENCH VIEW
Thinks Powers Should Be Satisfied
With Latest Russian Program.

Paris, Jan. ,12.-Foreign office ad-
vices confirm the statement that the
Russian foreign minister, Count Lams-
dorf, has given assurances of Russia's
intention to recognize and respect the
treaties between China and foreign
powers relative to Manchuria.
The official view here is that Russia
has thereby given Japan and all the
foreign powers a strong guarantee for
the protection Of commerce under
their respective treaties. It is main
taine dthat these treaty guarantees are
all the European powers could posi-
bly, desire in Manchuria, as the pow
ers have not the slightest political as
pirations there.

notifications of the treaty were to have

SHOULD FOOD BE sALTED?
According to French Scientists There
Is No Necessity for the
Condimeut

This is no new question, but appa1
emily 1t is not settled yet, says the .Revu
scientifique. In an exhaustive discus
sion OF it, N. Rene Laufer concludes tina
While salt is absolutely necessary t
the animal organism, enough of it TO
our needs is contained naturally in on
ordinary articles of food, SO that tn
addition of it as condiment is super
f1uous. Tales of disease caused by lacl
OF salt he dismisses as Enthusiastically
Says NJ. Laufer:
The desire for salt is certainly uni
versal. 1t seems to have been use,
everywhere at all times and in all civil
lzatlons. The same salt seasons to-da!

take from nature to add to those con.

eral substances play much more i'm.

tissues, the salts of lime and the phos.
plate Of soda, for instance. =
When We use these by themselves it is
as medicine.
''The taste for salt is not innate OF
instructive; it is acquired. The moth.
er's milk contains very little salt. Cows
milk has at least four times as much
but even in 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 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
herbivores get along very well if salt
is not added to their food"
M. Laufer discredits all tales of illness
from the discontinuance 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 te
eat. The story of the Russian serfs
who are reported to have fallen i'll when
deprived of salt by their lords bears on
its face, NJ Laufer thinks, marks of its
falsity.
Among the chief morbid symptoms
said to follow the lack of salt is edema
Or swelling, but the writer shows that
diet without salt is pre-
scribed for this trouble and has been
effective in curing it. In the same way
he disposes to his satisfaction of all
the different ills said to arise when one
is deprived of salt.
Finally. he calculates the amount OF
salt necessary to carry on the processes
Of organic animal life and the amount
lost by excretion and comes to the fol- |
lowing conclusion:
Our food, provided it constitutes q |
proper regimen in the physiologic sense
If the word contains in itself and with
no necessity of adding to it from out
ide, sufficient salt for our needs.
