a naturalist. "He approaches the f.

DO WE NEED SALT7
a Physician Answers the Question ia
tina Affirmative.

The use of salt, like that OF other
condiments, is largely matter OF hao-
it and Of Individual taste. Behlnd
these influences there may be some
instinct of which person isn't MIN
self conscious. Very likely the needs
Of one person may be different from
those of another, and no universal
rule can be applied to all mankind.
For the use of salt, however, pretty
good argument can be made from the
tonic effect of sea air on invallds anu
the craving which wild animals (deer
in particularly manifest. Why should
they so to salt ticks if salt is not es-
sential to their we'll being? And II
animals need it. why should man ais
pense with it altogether?
Dr. l. S. White of Violet Grove,
Manitoba, writes to "The Medical
Brief" in enthusiastic advocacy OF salt.
He backs up bis case with the follow
ing story:
Some time ago l was called to see
patient that had been troubled with
uSI peg lOI over tWO duu oiAS 49,
years, and whom four doctors had
failed to cure. When l was examln-
ing him l said, you must eat more
salt than You are doing" What he
exclaimed, Did my wife tell you l did
not like salt?" NO." l replied, "your
wife did not tell me you did not like
salt, but your skin tells me you do not
eat salt" NO." said his wife, Il did
not tell the doctor that you did not
like salt; but now that it has been
mentioned l will tell him that you COW
er your food till it is black with pep
per, but never a bit of salt, and have
often told you that you should use
little salt" We'll" l replied, The
must dispense with the pepper and use
salt instead, for until there is more
salt in his system this disease won't
cure" And that man carried that dis
ease about three years that would
have been cured in less than three
months had he been an eater of salt;
or, perhaps, he might never have had
the disease, and those four doctors
failed to cure the disease simply be-
cause they failed to discover the abb
sence Of salt in his system.

The Great Trails.

Patriotic women and the school
children of the West have taken up the
work of preserving and marking the
great trails over which the pioneers
travelled from the Mississippi valley to
the Pacific coast.
Foremost among these thorough
fares was the great Santa Fe Trail.
from the Missouri river to California,
over the southern route. Signs of it
are still visible to-day here and there
in deep-worn ruts in pasture-lands;
but for most of it's length all traces
Of it have been obliterated by build
ing or cultivation. Disputes have
even arisen as to it's exact location
The women of Kansas have deter
mined to search out every foot of the
old trail before it is too late to secure
the testimony of living witnesses, and
to place at every mile stone post
which shall bear the figure of the old
canvas-stopped "prairie-schooner." 1t
Is hoped that the women or the legis-
latures of other states will continue
the work.
The Oregon Trail, from Indianapolis
to The Dalles, is also to be marked.
Over this route the settlers of the
great Pacific Northwest passed to
their new homes.
In the Southwest a plan is on foot
to make state road of the old Cam
inc Real" over which the Jesuit mis-
sion-builders pushed northward and
eastward from Mexico to trade with
and convert the Indians.
The story Of these great trails is an
epic. In distances travelled and in the
number of travellers they are as i'm
portant in the history of the world as
those now long-forgotten routes in the
Old World, over which men of other
races migrated, or marched to con-
quest, or conducted caravans of trade.
Lovers left notes written on the
bleached shoulder blades of buffalo
skeletons for those who were follow
ing; and fathers and mothers laid their
own bones beside the dusty thread of
brown. War, love, ambition, suffering,
herOism, success are all associated
with these mighty thoroughfares; and
it is of interest to the whole nation
that they be permanently Marked
Youths Companion.
