Chloride of Sodium.

In connection with the name salt a
curious fact Is to be noted Salt was
formerly regarded as compound re
sulting from the union of hydrochiorie
Tor. as 1t used to be called nluraasic5
acid and soda, and hence the gene
term of salt was applied to ali sub
stances produced by the combination
of base with an acid Sir Humphry
Davy, however. showed that during
their action on each other both the
acid and the alkali underwent decom-
position and that, while water is form
ed by the union of the OK on Of ~
alkali and the hydrogen "
the sodium of the former romOiues
with the chlorine of the latter to form
chloride of sodium. and this term is
the scientific designa ton of salt, which.

the salt used as food and for Industrial

The lack Of such holding deprives him

To Break Up a Cold.

The hydropathic treatment of cold
in the head Is more reliable than any
other one which scarcely requires the
aid of a physician. 1t is as follows:
In the morning after rising and at
night before retiring wash the feet
and legs as high up as the knees In
cold water, then rub them with a
rough towel and massage them till
the skin is red and glowing. In addi-
ton to this. snuff tepid water up the
nose frequently during the day and sip
with a teaspoon a glassful as hot as
can be borne an hour before each
meal and at bedtime. A few days is
often quite sufficient for simple cases
and obstinate ones yield if the treat.

required. If taken in the first stages
of the disease cold is broken up

I would advise papering the room

of course, match those in use all over
the house. Then make your drapery

the rag rugs are or crocheted or knit,

dominate in rug and articles of fur

COST OF WAR DURING 1918
Many Converts Made to Peace Cause
by the Fierce Struggle in the
Balkans.

The Balkan war has made innumer-
able converts to the peace cause, de-
clares Frederick Lynch in the Yale
Review. 1t has revolted the twentieth
century conscience. 1t has made thou

some better wayi" Many are saying:
rs what one gets worth the price paid
for it," This change of heart has
been noticeable in the daily press.
There has been distinct progress
toward the advocacy of judicial meth
DDS during the year. This has not all
been due to the exhibition of savage
hatred in the Balkans, nor to the in
human atrocities perpetrated by all
concerned, but 1t was partly come
about from the revelation of the fulfill
ity of it all. Hundreds and thousands
of lives have been lost, thousands of
homes are fatherless and poverty
stricken, the nations are bankrupt and
without resources for the future; for
the next hundred years taxes will be
Of abnormal proportions; worst of all,
there are no young men left to breed
a future race. 1t has all caused many
to ask if wars accomplish anything
in the long run that could not much
better be gained by judicial and peace

picion, from what I heard In Italy last
year, that many Italians feel the same
way after the war in Tripoli. Every

well as in Germany, many have been

Who advocates increase of ornaments

as the wife of Charles VII. and Queen
Ysabeau was transformed into that
monarch's sister in order to save hiTn
from bigamy. Until 1912 mesalliancss
were prohibited on the Vienna stage.

TEN with a primary object of max
ing it easier for renters to become
farm owners. This bill, it is stated
has the approval of President Will

department of agriculture. The sec
ond bill, which has not yet been
completed, will undertake to make 1t
easier and cheaper for the farmer
to obtain short time loans to tide
him over the harvesting of his corn
or wheat crops and to help him get
the crop to market.
After long conference With the
President this morning the senate
committee on agriculture spent the
entire afternoon going over the bills
again. 1t was said tonight that in
this time, they modified the measur-

ideas and views upon the subject
expressed by the president at the
