Ex-PreSident Grover Cleveland has
been asked to be a director in the
Thomas B. Reed Memorial AsSOcia-
ton. In response to the request he
made a liberal contribution to the
fund, but asked to be excused from
serving as a director and among other
reasons he gives the following:
Another reason stronger than this
for hesitation is found in my reluct-
ance to be identified with a project to

duty; and this would be my exact pre-

JUDGE A. II. WHlTFiELD'S STATE.
MENT.

We enjoyed very much, reading
Judge Whitfeld's concise and lucit
defense of the new code and we are
sure that his statement was highly
appreciated by the general public. II
came in the nick of time. However,
6here is n point, especially, that we
are sorry he did not advert to. We
have not had the opportunity Of read
ing the dummy code, but we have
noted that it proposes to still further
bride and cirCumSCribe a district at
<torney'S presence and actions with
regard to the deliberations and finding
pf a grand jury. If this be true, we
think a serious blow would be dealt to
that sentiment which seeks to enforce
che law and that endeavors to instill
into the minds of the public a respect
for constituted authority. To a law
yer, who by practice and education,
Jews matters from a theoretical and
constitutional standpoint, it may ap-
pear that a district attorney now
Yields too much influence ia shaping
The actions of grand %juries; but to a
layman, who has dealt with the prac-
teal side of the question, we are of
the opinion that the statutes ought
20 spur district attorneys to a little
more activity in experimenting the law
breaker. We do not mean by this
that a district attorney should be al
lowed to say or indicate who should or
who should not be indicted. The
average grand jury is willing and
ready to arraign law breakers, but
their lack Of knowledge and experience
as to just how to begin permits many
violations Of law to pass unnoticed.
A wise and skillful district attorney
can be a powerful inpiratiou to the in
questions of one of the most impor-
tant arms of our jurisprudence. Hel
car frequently obtain much valuable
testimony from unwilling witnesses
that a jury, by themselves, could not |
secure.
Recent decisions Of the Supreme
Court have had the tendency to
limit to a very narrow sphere, a dis
trict attorneys connection with a
grand jury, and we think our law
makers should see that the new code
does not go too far in this direction.

ANIMALS NEED SALT.
Farn Stock, which ID HerbivoYGua,:
.z SHOULD he salted Regularly. - 45|S s4ssS
Insure Good Health. ~

Y Prot. shepperd, Of North Dakota.
has been collecting data concerning the
much discussed question of whether
salt is essential to the health OF farm
al animals. ! n The following are some Of
the facts he has obtained:
Is Carniverous animals do not use salt.
the reason being that they eat the,
blood with the food and the blood con-
tains the amount of salt necessary for
the system :sE.t
=" The EsQuimaux OF Greenland do not
use salt because they live mostly on
seals and carefully plug up the wound
when seal is killed so as to prevent
the loss of blood The blood contains
more salt than any other part Of. the
body" -..,lsrt@~ T.
Among the North American Indians
the hunting and fishing tribes did not
use, salt, and for the same reason,
while the Indians practicing agricul-
ture along the Mississippi and in Mex
leo were salt consumers and fought
for the possession of the salt springs
Herbivorous animals universally re-
quire salt and will travel long dis
tances for it: The reason, according
to Prof. Shepperd, is that the cereals
and legumes upon which these animals
live contain very little salt, but large
proportion of potash. Potash, or more
properly speaking, the salts or COM
blnatlons of potash, drive out the
sodium chloride, or common salt,
through the kidneys, and hence an ad-
dltion of common salt must be given
to supply the lack of it in the food.
Blood, flesh and milk contain but lit
tie OF these potash salts, hence the
small need of salt when animals sub
sist on either Of the above.
Men and animals living largely on
rice as substitute for potatoes Use
comparatively little salt, the reason
being that rice contains but little of
the, salts of potash, and, therefore,
there is not a demand among rice eat
ers for common salt. Potatoes are
very rich in potash, and hence potato
eaters always want common salt. the
potash having a tendency to drive
the small amount of common salt in
potatoes out of the system, and hence
a surplus must be given This is an
important suggestion to our readers
who have kidney trouble and who
would likely be relieved considerably
il they were to abandon the use of
potatoes and substitute rice.
The conclusion Drawn is that all
animals that live on grains and
grasses. should be regularly salted.
Salt given in excess acts as sort of
poison, creating violent purging but
given in small quantities is helpful to
all I1en who do not live on a flesh
diet and to all herbivorous animals.
