Philadelphia RECORD: william HI.
Taft, secretary of war, weighs 800
pounds. His predecessor in office. Eli
hu Root. tips the scales at only half
that figure.
When Secretary Taft was civil gov
rno OF the philippines his health was
sadly undermined. He was laboring
under great responsibility in govern
ing the archipelago. where conditions
were yet so disturbed as TO give Sec
rotary Root n President Roosevelt
much concern. Mr.. Root therefore re-
Judge Taft to keep him adj
vised by the new Pacific cable as to the
state OF his health. One day this mes
sage came to Root from Governor Taft
at Benguet, In the mountains near
Manila:
Rode ten miles on a mule today.
Am feeling much better. TAFT"
Mr.. Root chuckled and doubled with
mi-th In the chair which Secretary
Taft has since discarded as too small.
He dictated this reply:

Reyu Scientihque: This is no new ques-
ton, but apparently it is not settled yet.
In an exhaustive discussion of 1t Nj. Rene
Laufer concludes hat while salt Is ABB
s~olutely necessary to the animal organism,
enough of II for our needs Is contained
naturally in eur ordinary articles of
food, so that the addition of it as a con-
diment is superfiuous. Tales of disease
caused by lack of salt he dismisses as I'M
trustworthy. Says NJ. Laufer:
THE desire for salt is certainly unlver-
sal. 1t seems 10 V been used every
where at all times and in all civilizations.
The same salt seasons today the miserable
portion of the Soudanese negro and the
choice dishes oil European tables. T"
The need of salt is not limited 10 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 IL not curious tina the chloride of
sodium should be the only salt that we
take from nature TO add TO those con-
tanned in our food itself? Other mineral
substances play a much more important
part in the constitution OF the tissues. the
salts of lime and the phosphate of soda,
for instance. . When we use these
by themselves it is as medicine.
THE taste for salt is not innate or in
stInctiye: il is acquired. The mothers
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 aIone-say three quarts a day
would take more chloride than he needs.
Man in Il state of nature does not salt
his food. Primitive peoples who lead a
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"
NJ. Laufer discredits all tales OF illness
from the dis~continuance OF salt. The
French soldiers who were said to have
suffered from lack of salt in the siege OF
OF Metz did so, he says, simply because
they required ii to hide the taste of the
Spoiled meat that they were forced TO
eat. The story of the Russian serfs who
are reported 10 nave fallen i'll when de-
.prived OF salt by their lords bears ON Its
face. NJ. Laufer thinks, marks OF It's
faisity.
Among the chief morbid symptoms said
to follow the lack Of salt is edema, or
swelling. but the writer shows that nova

this trouble and has been effective In cur
ing 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 following
conclusion:
our food, provided II constitutes a prop
er regimen in the physiologic sense OF the
word. contains in itself, and with no ne
eessity of adding 10 Ii from outside, SUI
t!cient salt for our needs.
