If there is one thing above another
that is the cause of genuine, mental
profanity at this season it is the rcfu-
sal of that necessary rOndimcnt. salt,
to part company with the shaker.
Many things have been suggested TO
remedy the trouble. One hotclkceper
at the shore, where dampncss is al
ways present. says tnat baking the salt
thoroughly in the oven and then mix
ing it with one-third the quantity of
corn starch. will Obviate the difficulty.
Others suggest that the shakers be
set in the oven for fifteen minutes
every day. but the majority OF advice
proclaims that the only real way to get
around the trouble is to put the shak-
ers away during the dog days and use
individual salt cellars.
Nevertheless one plan that has been
found thoroughly successful is to bake
The salt well and add corn starch rs

filled add to each one a small half tea

This keeps it stirred up and prevents

other snake on earth that can with
