Salts That Kill Weeds Helps Mans
Digestion.

The man who sprinkles salt upon
his garden walks unconsciously ind
Gates the purpose for which. this com
mon mineral really exists SO p.entl
fully in nature. He knows thai it
kills weeds and prevents the growth
OF vegetation, That is why h uses
it on the walks.
1t is doubtful, however, if he has
the remotest idea that it is for this
very purpose that it enters so largely
into his diet Soup is ms pid with
out it, So are eggs, potatoes, mea
and the vast majority of the foods
which he consumes. They are al.
salted, ostensibly to make them more
spalatable, for in all flesh III re is :.
instructive craving for the mn raj
and has been from the beginning.
But the purpose of salt is no NOR :
to satisfy this craving than is food
designed primarily to obviate hunger.
The craving means that salt is naedca
to forward the mysterious proc ssc
by which animal life is sustaine J, an
science assures US that its chief work
is to kill weeds in the shape OF those
minute vegetable organisms that We
call bacteria.
From remote antiquity salt has been
known and used as preservative.
Primitive man did not understand the
secret of the virtue but meats ansl
flesh and many vegetables resist decay
when impre gnated with salt In the
Polar regions, of course, where cold
performs this function, salt is I'M
known. 1t is used only as a conai
ment in the tropics, where the bright
sunlight and the acids of various frti, $
and vegetables take its place.
Preservation is simply prevention Of
bacterial growth. The vital impor-
lance of salt to man lies in its power
to thus check the swarmirg millions
OF micro-Org anisms which, undisturb-
ed, would very speedily work disease
and death.
At the same time the physician
warns us that there is danger in an
excess of salt 1t has atendency to
harden the arteries. 1t is also very
apt to form heavy deposit ia In
kidneys, which is exceedingly inimi-
cal to health and may result in death.
Careful estimates made in France
indicate that the average person con-
sumes about 100 grains of this min
eral every day It forms, therefore,
about a fiftieth of his diet. AS oJ
per cent of the salt consumed by the
average person is eliminated from his
system unchanged, the unavoidable
inference is that too much of it is
used. This shows, perhaps, that our
relish for the salt saved leads us to
use much more than is really neces
sary to restrain the growth of the
noxious little weeds that prey upon

Value of Courtesy. |

Some years ago the president OF a
local railroad who resided in Pitts
bursh, was called on business to a
town about 80 miles away. Returning
to the station to get the next train,
he asked the basgageman for some
commonplace information, but got no
answer. Repeating the question, he
got an insolent stare, but no reply.
Next day the .baggageman got wore,
that the president wished to see him
in his office in the Lake Erie depot.
His feelings, of course, when he faced
the president, whom he at once recog
nized, was that he had been summon
ed to receive his dismissal. But he
was mistaken.
This company is in business" said
the president ito make money and
friends" On this basis'he roundly lee
tured the baggageman on the value of
courtesy as profit producer both to
himself and the Company. When
through he said, Nov ii | ever hear
again of any discourtesy by you to
anyone, even the humblest patron Of
t the line, you will be Immediately dis
charged" No other complaint was
ever again heard as to this employe.
He was the politest trunk extermina-
tor on the whole system.
It is in line with this incident that
the Western Maryland Railroad has
recently posted in its station houses
large placards in two celoTs directing
employees to treat patrons with cour-
Etesy, and requesting the same consid-
Grafton by patrons to employees. Such
things as this are additional evidence
of the fast spreading and deepening
understanding that there is no better
business asset than good manners,
courtesy, nice breeding, acivil tongue,
Moreover, it as an expression OF COM
mon humanity, something denoting a
different relationship than obtains in
mere animal life.
Furthermore, Instructions in culture
of this sort has been introduced into
high school in Ne WORK City where
there are 5000 girls. Two instructors
give daily lessons in course design
ed to be most thorough on the why's
and wherefores of good manners.
Courtesy is demanded in the home, on
the street, in trolley cars, in offices,
In business, indeed everywhere, and
the best place to begin teaching this,
as of everything else, is among the
children. But all may acquire it, no
matter what the age.--Pittsburgh Dis

Charles Town and Mid-Year Meeting

Rev Carlton D Harris, Editor of
the Baltimore Southern Methodist,
says in part in an article ON the Mid
Year Meeting of the Board of Mis-
sions, which was held in Charles
Town recently. eve had two or
three trips over the city, and it never
before showed up SO impressively-
lovely homes, handsome churches, a
beautiful cemetery, quaint old court
house of historic fame, hospital that
would be credit to any city. When
we were in Charles Town few weeks
ago assisting the pastor to perfect ar
engagements for "The Mid Year." we
made the hospital brief visit, and
were surprised to find such finely
equipped, up-to-date institution. Dr.
F. NJ. Phillips, the resident physician,
and Miss Elizabeth Oliver, the head
nurse, showed us through the build
ing. Everything was as clean as a pin,
and the patients were receiving mark
ed attention from physician and nur-
SEES. Even Brother Tyler has no
grudge against it, though it recently
deprived him of part of his ana
tony. Such hospital deserves the
largest support of the people of that
part of the Valley.
