SALT AND ITS VARIED USES.

Salt can almost be regarded as q
panacea, SO many and varied are its
uses.

! tongue and a gargle of salt and water
is often efficacious.
A pinch of salt on the tongue, fol.
lowed ten minutes afterward by a
drink OF cold water, often cures 2

makes teeth white and sweetens the
breath.
Cut flowers may be kept fresh BY
adding salt to the water.
Weak ankles should be rubbed with
solution of salt, water and alcohol.
Bad colds, hay fever and kindred af-
fections may be much relieved by
using fine, dry SALT, like snuff.

In which small spoonful of salt has
been melted.

stopped by filling the mouth with salt
and water.
Weak and tired eyes are refreshed
hy bathing with warm water and salt.
Many public speakers and singers
use a wash Of salt and water before
and after using the voice. as it
strengthens the organs of the throat.
Salt rubbed into the scalp or occa.

Feathers uncurled by damp weather
are quickly dried by shaking over q

Salt should always be eaten with
nuts and a dessert fruit should be
