SALT PUT TO VARIED USES
invaluable to Mankind Though as a
Condlment It Should Be En-
ployed Sparingly.

If food is tasteless without salt, 1t is
ruined with too much. Unappetizing
cooking is often due to guesswork.
A level teaspoonful of salt is sufficient
for a quart Of soup, sauce, or vege-
tables.
Salt used once a day is an excellent
dentrifrice, tending to keep off tar.
tar. 1t is said to retard receding
gums.
A half teaspoonfuI of salt added to
a cup of hot water-which many per-
sons take each morning-will make it
palatable.
Do not gargle with salt water.
Throat specialists consider it injuri-
Gus to the tender mucous membrane
Of the nose.
Salt water rots the hair, so never
fail to rinse with fresh water after
see bathing.
To set color in wash materials and
embroidery cottons soak them in
strong salt water.
An excellent tonic for nervous peo-
pie is to take salt rubs twice a day.
AS sea salt dissolVes slowly, some of
1t can be kept in solution in a glass
jar to be ready when needed.
When a child is inclined to bow
legs or to have a weak back, rub it
night and morning with strong salt
water.
A faded carpet is freshened If
wiped off with a wet cloth wrung from
strong salt water. Sprinkle floor with
dampened salt and sweep well.

solving pinches of salt on the tongue
after eating, or when there is a sense
of oppression.

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 5.-The san
Francisco Chinese World is authority
for the statement that more than e.
million dollars was secured from Chi
nese of America and Canada by a gang
of oriental swindlers who traded upon
the patriotism of the celestials. They
alleged that the Russian empire was
preparing to swoop down upon Ching
and wrest territory from the infant
republic. 1t is alleged that they Sc
cured from SO to $3.50 in contributions
from individual Chinese for defense
against the invader. Chinese here are
taking steps to notify their countryne
of the plot, which, it is said, was dis
covered by the Chinese Six Companies.

LONDON, Feb. 5.-The bombardm ent
of Adrianople, reported in Sofia dis
patches as stopped for "a hours has

dispatches to Reuters news agency.
No explanation is given, but it is be-
lieved here that the Turks flatly re
fused TO surrender. 1t is expected the
Bulgars will attempt to storm the for

CONSTANTINOPLE, Feb. 5.-With
the departure of the grand viZier and
Premier Shevket Pasha for the front,
the first offensive move of the Turks
during the war is expected at Tcha
talja While the porte officials refuse
information, it is freely stated in mill
tary circles that the policy of defense
will be abandoned and that the rein
forced Tchatalja defenders, under the
personal command of Shevket Pasha,
back the Bulgars before their flank at
tack on the Dardanelles fort can open
way to Constantinople for the Greek
fleet. The entire Turkish and Arab
verted to attack. This plan is believed
to be forced by the extreme jeopardy
of Adrianople.
LONDON, Feb. 5.-The Turks remain
anople. The Adrianople fortress re
plies only feebly to the Bulgarian bonn
bardment and apparently no attempt
has been made to sortie. The Turks
declare Adrianople has sufficient pro-
visions for four months. The official
quarters in Constantinople radiate
spirit of great confidence in the new
regime and declare that the condition
of the country and the wintry weather
preclude serious operation on the Tcha-
talja lines for the present. Meanwhile
diplomacy has made no step since the
resumption of hostilities.
CONSTANTINOPLE, Feb. 5-The
Bulgarians are reported retiring from
the burning village of Tchatalja. This
is regarded as strategic movement,
possibly with the idea of drawing the
Turks into taking the offensive.
According to the best information
here, Adrianople will be able to resist
for long time. Much is expected by
competent observers of the new blood
