Records of Many Decades for

London.-When the statistics from

decades for heat fatalities. Following
on the theory that the living human
organism is merely a compound Of
chemical combinations. DR.. George
Hirth, a Munich specialist. propounds
a new explanation of the direct cause
of death from heat stroke. which he
attributes to electrolytic disturbances
due to the abstraction of salt from
the system.
His investigations show that per-

course of a single day thousands of
grams Of moisture containing from
two-thirds to four-fifths OF l per cent.

that the human body under those con-
ditions may lose as much as thirty
grams, and In extreme cases forty
grams of salt a day. an amazing guam
tity, which is not replaced in the or

She searched for them and even went
to Brasch's store
Brasch. she said, denied all knowl-

must have misplaced them. He said
she ought to search the house thor

police about the case, and Cooper went
with her to the Brasch store. He and
Mrs. Nichols claim that Brasch again

GRASS OF GREAT IMPORTANCE

In attempting TO farm without
grasses the farmer is lifting without

weight on the hind wheels; he is cut

With grass as basis grains. fruits.
vegetables and meat. all the triumphs
OF farming are possible. The first
thing that would advise all those
who contemplate buying a farm 10
look into, would be It's capacity to
grow clover and other nutritious
grasses and learn what means would
be available for fertilizing such mead
ows.
The grass can be converted into
milk and products into beef, pork or
mutton and returned to the land in
the form Of manure for the grain crops
or you may sell the hay By the ton
according to the facts OF your particu-
lar locality.
/ would not advise any one 20 think
OF buying a farm that did not have
at least 20 acres Of grass land that
would produce at least two tons o,
hay per acre under favorable condi-
tons.
The greatest thrift and profit made
by farmers of their farms In ten Of
the leading agricultural states that
have visited during the past two
years have been made by those who
make dairying and the growing OF live
stock their chief reliance.
The great question OF keeping up
the fertility OF the soil for future
crops can be solved IN only enc way
and that Is by the growing Of more
cloyers and grasses and feeding more
live stock and returning all Of the
manure thus made TO the fields.

DEATHS FROM HEAT

DR.. Hirth recalls that some forty
years ago the inmates of some Ger
man prisons were deprived of salt.
under the mistaken notion that salt
was a luxury. not a necessity. The
consequence was that prisoners COL
lapsed with precisely the same symp-
toms as those observed in heat stroke.
He further adduces in support OF his
theory the fact that indulgence In al
cohol in hot weather enormously in
creases the danger of collapse, this
being explained by the fact that al.
cohol is an enemy to the saline cleo
trolyte.
DR.. Hirth expresses the opinion that
heat stroke means simply starvation
of the body for lack Of salt.
Superstitious persons have been
