That from Natural Springs Is Gener-

The purity of salt depends upon the
source from which it is obtained and
the sanitary conditions under which it
is prepared for the market. The sup
ply of common salt, the most indispen-
sable of all the seasoning substances
both as a relishing condiment and a
well-night universal food preservative,
is exhaustless, yet ever so there is salt

Formerly salt was obtained by evap-
Grating ocean water, a process that left
many impurities In the residuum, to
say nothing of it's exposure to all kinds
of dirt in its shipment from seaports.
The Turks island or rock salt, which
is still largely used in pork packing
and in the manufacture of ice creams,
comes to the United States in holds of
vessels continually subjected to dirt
and foul odors. Upon its arrival it is
again handled, then packed in coarse
burlap bags, permitting dust to sift into
the salt. In this condition it reaches

but for meat packing. The annual pro

Perhaps a truer estimate may be

his personal interest In the matter is
taken account Of. Mr.. Hill and his as
sociates have been engaged for some
time in the extension of his American
railroads into the Canadian west, where
they necessarily come into competition
with the lines of the Canadian Pacific
and other Canadian railroads. The
Canadian roads have been in one way
and another subsidized by the Cana
dian government, and Ii has been Mr..

without government aid, would COM
pete on even terms with those OF his
Canadian rivals. He would, however,
be surer that his words would come
true II American markets were opened
to Canadian products and the business
Of his transportation lines thereby aid
ed. Mr.. Hill has his own axe to grind,
is grinding it and cannot divert atten-
ton or drown the sound of the grind
ing by making a noise like an appeal
for the national welfare.
A number of American manufacture
ers, including the Westinghouse inter-
ests of u OWL city, have been com
PEELED by the Canadian protective tar
ifs to erect works in Canada to hold
their Canadian trade. We hear moth
ing from them in advocacy Of opening
American markets to Canada, and il
we did we should be inclined to wonder
at It. They, however, are better stu
ated than Mr.. Hill, for they did not
build in advance of their market and
are in receipt of all the benefits that
accrue to the Canadian manufacturer
under Dominion tariffs. The railroad
man did not ask and has not, could
not, have received benefits such as his
competitors who opened the country OBJ
tanned for doing so. and he nay have
discovered by this time that his enter
prise has given Western Canada rail-
road facilities in advance Of present
