Great Danger Attends Excessive Use Of So
dunn Chloride, SAYS Physician.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: Apropos OF the recent death Of Charles
Yerkes from Bright's disease of the kidneys, 1t
seems fitting time to say something of the danger
attending the excessive use of common table SALT
especially If has affection of the kidneys.
It has been demonstrated by well known physiolo-
g1sts that only small amounts Of sodium chloride

man Bunge claims that a. person using mixed
diet requires only from to two grarlrnes (hfteen
to thirty grains) daily; however, most people con-
sumo excessive amoUnts-trom ten to twenty
graumes Q50 to 500 grains)-
Professor Vidal found that when a patient VINO
had nephritis, or kidney disease, was given ten
granmes Q40 grains) OF sodium chloride Common

TO dropsy produced by the salt The amount of
alburen in the urine increased. and headache
nausea and stupor developed, producing condition
resembling urernlc poisoning. Professor Vidal Was
able to make the dropsy 10 appear and disappear at
viii by increasing withdrawing the USE OF the
salt
Recent reports from the New-york Board of
Health show that the mortality from kidney dis
ease IS greatly on the Increase Hence it behooves
US as intelligent physicians, to disseminate such
knowledge as will be preventative or remedial in
Bright's disease or other diseases Of the kidneys
Pertaining from too strenuous life, and the
avoidance Of excuses. particularly in diet, alco-
hoIic drinks and common salt Will do much toward
the prevention Of diseases Of the Kidneys The

HOW MEN ACT IN PRESENCE OF DEATH
Experiences at Five Hundred Deathbeds by
Pastor for Twenty Years,

To the Editor OF The Tribune
Sir: IN my twenty years pastorate in Brooklyn
I have witnessed many deathbed scenes, not only

deathbeds Of non-ohurch going people than

Of the future life recall only two cases Of
men dying without giving thought TO the hereafter
Others have died without any clear hope or
thought of the future life but ell longing for It
and begging for some aid to faith and hope It IS
my experience that IN the presence Of death al
men are believers and the less they know Of
Christian faith the more supersutious they are
More people have inquired of what they must
do to be saved while on deathbeds than have
inquired while living and well Infdelity ana IN

WOULD BAR OUT TRUSTS
"PIace All Such Combinations of
Capital Under Ban of Law,
says II. M. Cake.

every combination of capital known
as trust should be placed under the
ban Of the law; not only should trust
corporations themselves be barred
from doing business, but the in
dividuals responsible for the combi-
nations should be punished as pro-
vided by law" says H. M. Cake,
candidate for United States Senator.
There is probably no man in the
state of Oregon more pronounced in
his opinions upon this subject than
Mr.. Cake, as evidenced by his actions
and past utterances.
He is not the attorney for. is not
interested in, nor does he represent,
directly or indirectly, any trust.
He believes in the absolute freedom
Of competition in all lines of business
the preservation of the equal rights
of the entire citizenship of the country
free from interference by combinations
of capital.
Mr.. Cake is firm believer in the
right Of the American workingman to
protect himself by means of labor
organizations against the expressions
Of organized capital.
The great common people of the
country can depend upon it that Mr..
Cake is friendly to their interests, for
he is one Of the common people.
He is friendly to every section and
interest of the state, and if elected to
the Senate, will do everything he can
for the development and prosperity of
all Oregon.

FOR STATE TREASURER

The administration Of the affairs Of
the treasurship Of the state is sought
by Ralph w. Hoyt Of Portland, who,
it appears, is leading in the race for
the nomination. He is fitted by a
long and successive conservative
career as a banker for the guardian
ship Of the funds Of the state, and his
record has never been regarded other
than the very best. He believes that
the tax funds should be impartially
divided among the different banks in
each county and that one institution
should not be favored TO the exclusion
of all others. This policy was first
instituted by him when he was elected
treasurer Of Multnomah county, and
in that responsible post he acquitted
himself with entire satisfaction 10 all
concerned. He is a stauneh Republi-
can, and by his unselfsh devotion to
party principles and the fact that he
has never sought for rewards at the
hands Of the voters Of the state, he
has won the esteem Of men ofinhuence
regardless Of their affiliations.

Mr.. Garter says: "Oregon has never

Connection With Corvallis.

J. M. Staats, superintendent Of con-
struction of the Independent Telephone
System between Dallas and Corvallis,
was in town Saturday. He is work.
ing to secure a commercial wire be-
tween these two points, and is meeting
with hearty encouragement in his
efforts. Corvallis and Dallas have
had mutual telephone connection
through party wires for several years,
but the demand for purely com
merciaI wire is now becoming of great
Importance. The expense of the i'm
proved service will be small, as the
poles are already up. Mr.. Stats
found the people of Dallas wide awake
to the necessity of the improvement,
and received hearty promises OF
assistance in the enterprise.
