Two RnhIrs EaunI One Person.

British law has just arrived at the
queer decision that one baby has no
existence, but that two babies together
make "a person"
A London cab driver sued a woman
before Judge Plowden, a well known
stipendiary magistrate, for the small
sum of sixpence. He had driven her
and her baby and demanded the six
pence on the ground that the baby was
an extra person" within the meaning
Of the Hackney carriage act and must
be paid for as such.
THAT is not So" said Judge Plow-
den. According to the hackney car
riage act. as 1 cOnstrue il, it takes two
children to make one person.
"Then i'm future l shall charge three
pence apiece" retorted the cabman.
"No. you can't do that" declared the
Judge. I'm the eyes Of the law one
child has no existence in this matter
but if there are two children they make
one person, and you can charge you

NJ. Laufer discredits all tales OF ILL.,
ness from the discontinuance OF salt.
The French soldiers who were said to
have suffered from the 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
Russian serfs, who are reported to
have fallen i'll when deprived of salt
by their lords, beaBs on its face, NJ.
Laufer thinks, marks Of its falsity.
Among the chief morbid symptoms
said to follow from the lack of salt is
edema or swelling. but the writer
shows that nowadays a Diet without
salt is prescribed for this trouble and
has been effective in curing it. In the
same way he disposes to his satisfac-
tion of all the different ills said te
arise when one is deprived Of salt
Finally, he calculates the amount OF
salt necessary to carry on the proc
esses Of organic animal life and th'
amount losi by exertion and comes Il
the following conclusion:
"Our food, provided it constitutes {
proper regimen in the physlologi
sense of the word, contains within ii
self, and with no necessity Of addini
to it from outside, sufficient salt TO
our needs. Literary Digest
