How to Get Thin.

A woman who has taken twenty five
pounds from her weight in four
months and increased her height three
quarters of an inch meanwhile, writes
how it was accompliShed:
The principal exercise consisted in
lying face down on the bed, with
hands at the side, and stretching out
the feet until the insteps rest on the
bed Besides increasing the height.
this exercise does away with double
chin, takes off fleshiness at the back
of the neck and decreases the abdo-
men. You should go to sleep in this
position, and every time you wake I'D
during the night and find yourself "
ing in an old, unhealthy way you
must turn over and strengthen yourself
right out again."
Cooked fruit forms large part of
her diet. For breakfast, a couple of
chops, two eggs and the crust of some
rolls, and then, last, three or four
kinds of fruit Fruit is not good to
begin a breakfast on. Avoid tea and
coffee. Water taken in great quantity,
but never with your food.

OPPOSE Sailing FOOD.
French Waiter Asserts Ordinary Diet
Contains Enough Already,


There is no new question, but ap-
parently it is not settled yet. In an
exhaustive discussion of it, Rene
Laufer concludes that while salt is
absolutely necessary to the animal or
ganism, enough of it for our needs is
contained naturally in our ordinary
articles of food, SO that the addition
OF it as d condiment is superhuous
Tales Of disease caused by lack of salt
he dismisses as untrustworthy. Says
N. Laufer:
THE desire for salt is certainly uni
yersal. 1t seems to have been used
everywhere at all times and in all
civilizations. The same salt seasons
to-day the miserable portion of the
SoudaneSe negro and the choice dishes
of European tables. The need of salt
is not limited to man; many animals
seek it with avidity. So general a
prediction, SO imperious a desire
should not be regarded as a simple
incident, that is certain; but do they
correspond to an unavoidable neces-
sity?
rs it not curious that the chloride
of sodium should be the only salt
that we take from nature to add to
those contained in our food itself?
Other mineral substances play a
much more important part in the con-
stitution of the tissues, the salts of
limo nd nh Nho 70 af
instance. When we use these by
themselves it 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 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 people who
lead a pastoral, 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"
NJ. Laufer discredits all tales Of ill
ness 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 to eat. The
story of the Russian serfs who are
reported to have fallen i'll when de-
prived 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 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-
ton 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 proc
esses of organic animal life, and the
amount lost by exertion, and comes
to the following conclusion:
Our food, provided 1t constitutes a
proper regimen in the physiologic
sense of the word, contains in itself,
and with no necessity Of adding to it
from the outside, sufficient salt for
our needs.-Revue Scientifique.

AN EXTRA SESSION OF CONGRESS

Over the waves from Oyster Bay
comes the news that President Roose-
welt will call an extra session of Con-
gress for the middle of November
This would leave little more than two
weeks till the regular opening of the
Fifty-ninth Congress. 1t would give
the Speaker of the House just about
time enough to organize the standing
committees.
When the first hints of an extra ses-
sion emanated from the White House
last winter a revision of the tariff was
its primary object. But Speaker
Cannon and Representative Dalzell
stubbornly set their faces against the
Presidential program, and when it was
well understood that the Speaker, if re-
elected. would organize an iron-clad
Committee of Ways and Means, it be-
came clear that there would be no tariff
revision either in an extra or regular
session of the next Congress.
Next came the suggestion of an extra
session for comprehensive regulation
of railroad freights by the Interstate
Commerce Commission. To avert this
menace the House hastily passed crude
freight regulation bill to which the Sen
ate gave no consideration. Now, it APP
pears, the tariff and railroad regulation
having fallen permanently into the back
ground of Presidential policy, the chief
object of an extra session is the Panama
Canal. The President and the Canal
Commission are said to require more en-
ecutive power in order to effectually
carry on the work, but whether Con-
gress will grant this power is another
question.
A learned professor of public law has
been lecturing over the country about
the absolute constitutional power of
the head of S0,OO0,OO0 of people. In
the light of this extra session history
this absolute power looks rather small
when it comes in collision with the
power of Congress. The professor has
been contemplating the President s
power through the wrong end of the
political telescope. PhiIadeiphia Record
