NEW MEDICAL USES FOR
COMMON SALT FOUND

Berlin, (by maiD.-Encouraging re-

mon salt as a remedy against the en-
feebling night sweats of consumptives
and against excessive perspiration in
the case Of marching soldiers are re-
an article in the Munich Medical
Weekly.
Sweat contains about six parts Of
salt in the 1000. A hard march of a
few hours on a hot day results in the
emulation Of five to six liters of sweat,
with a salt content of "a to so grams.
A strong night sweat of a consumptiVe
eXudes as much as 21a liters, causing
a salt loss OF Is grams. This amount
is far from u~nimportant, since the
blood contains altogether only about
20 grams of sale, an amount about cor
responding to the maximum daily con-
sumption of salt in foods.

the loss of salt, and that his might be

salt (about five grams) in a small glass

The result was a greater freshness and
absence of WEAKNESS on the following
morning, but the patients either had
no night sweats or else very slight
ones. All patients except those suf-

Of one regiment were given a tea

morning before beginning their days
march. After a march of nearly 20
miles in mugey eather the soldiers
thus dosed exhibited much less fatigue
than their comrades, and their perspi-
ration was but a fraction of that of the
others.

Fine Expression.

In Il review of IL novel we come
across this suggestive sentence: "Hera
too, characters that transmute COM
mon things into gold by the alchemy OF
the spirit" The finest thought of the
day is expressed by hat modest sem
tonce. The great problem in religion,
education, business, politics, and So
ciety concerns itself with that trans,
mutation. II suggests a finer life than
one gets out Of the materialism Of the.
age, with Its luxury, pleasure, selfish
ness, i'll will. spite, and ~overreaching.
The evolution Of the day is toward the
Sanctiiication Of everyday experience
and %infusing heroism into common lif,,
That is what must eventually happen
if humanity ever gets to be what 1t
should be. 1t is a long way to that
end, longer, perhaps, than from the
monad to man, us Emerson expresses
1t, but thither the evolution proceeds.

the other side, which characterizes this

pact. The public respect which the In
ternational Typographical union has long
enjoyed is not the fruit of a superior in
telligence alone. 1t is only too possible
for Intelligence to be wrongly led, to fall
into the hands of radicals and hot heads,
to be unWise in conduct and arbitrary in

international Typographical union is high,
but it is accompanied, enforced, and
guided by q large perception of public in
terest and public opinion. 1t does not seek
to rule or ruin. 1t never Stops to vio-

club against the employer. 1t is conser-
vative. 1t recognizes the rule CT reason.

"Put On Your Hat"
From the Houston Post


The Lcavenworth New Era is the name
OF the weekly publication Of the prisoners
in the United States penitentiary at Leay-
enworth, Kan. 1t is an interesting pub
lcation-though it may not appeal to
many people.
The prisoners edit it, of curse with the
approval of the department Of justice. Its
purpose is the encouragement and edu-
tional Advancement OF prisoners every

officials and to persons interested in
The issue of July IA devotes a consider
able space. to the future policy of Joliet
prison as regards prison reform, and con-
tains beside several editorials which prove
that the prisoner is helping others TO help
him.
Men convicted of crime. are still men.
AS a general proposition they are neither
better than the man outside nor are they
worse than the man outside. Given the
same advantages of health of mind and
body, the same surrounding environment
same steady labor as the mar who is not a
criminal, and the average prisoner in the
penitentiary becomes the average citizen
of the outside world.
Men are men 'for a hat and for a
that"
The editors of the New Era are i'm
pressed with the action of a deputT var
den at Joliet, the state prison OF illinois.
This man was approached by a prisoner
who removed his hat. put or Your

fetal in the prison who understood that
the convict is yet Il man. TIC editpr'S
comment is, There is far more respect
to the officers now than before"
1t is q fact that men everywhere and in
every walk of life viii yield respect to
those who respect them. And the prison
official who does not respect the men
under him, who does not understand that
they, too, are human beings, that man
should be removed from office and a
gentleman should take his place.

English Channel Tunnel.
From the Indianapolis News.

NS"S
The British newspapers are now advo-
waiting the construction of a tunnel under
the English channel. In it's last annual
report the French railway ompany that
carries the English traffic from Calai
and Boulogne to Paris says: with Eng
land our business Of every kind will be
without any doubt immensely increased.
There is every reason to hone for the
prompt construction of the chSnnel. tun-
mel. The war in progress has shown I'M
m~istakably the absolute need of it from
every point of view"
The war has convinced many English
men that the tunnel would be of advan-
tage and that it would in no way increase

English channel a burden to the admir-

1t is estimated that the tunnel from Do
yer to Calais would cost SIG, 900, 900.

what would have happened at Mons had

men have been sent to France. There
has been a constant stream of munitions
and supplies: All the food that the ex-
pedltlonary 1Orce consumes. all the stores
and all the shells, have to be packed as
securely for the channel passage as
though they We're destined for Australia.
In France the English government has a
body of 40, 900 men constantly at work I'M
packing and transshipping.
The transportation interests ave been
largely won over to the project. Although
the British papers say little about it.
the value of the unnel to the world would
be tremendous. Commercial hatreds en-
gendered by the war will not last always,
and there is no reason to doubt the ulti-
mate availability of the tunnel for all
continental business. The French offer
to bear half the cost of constructing the
tunnel.

The First Step to Success.
From the Columbus Dispatch

The first lesson in success might be
entitled "Cheerful Helpfulness.' It
ought to be learned early by every boy
and girl. 1t ought TO ne learned in the
home; then it will be second nature
everywhere else. 1T delights mother
and lessons her burdens, and makes
home happier for every member of the
family. If the young folks will start
out with the thought that the greatcst
thing in the world is serving others and
not being serve by them, all Of the
latter that anybody could wish will
come as a natural result. DO you doubt
ii? Put the question 10 yourself
whom DO you like to serve? Invariably,
lie answer will be those who serve or
a-e willing to serve you. Not the quar-
relsome, petulent, bullying persons
about you. but those who are cheerful,
watchful and willing to do the little
things that smooth the rough texture
Of every day life.
Those who soonest make place for
Themselves in the home or in money
earning tasks are those who are quick
TO see what they can do to help and are
willing to do it, giving time and effort
to the task of learning, if it be difficult.
II is thus that the office boy becomes a
clerk, the clerk a partner IN the bust
ness, and the partner tho head Of the
concern. And the same a up is open
TO tie young woman in any of the en-
p~lovn1enta that she seeks.
On the other hand, the sure way to
failure is through blindness TO the littlc
bits Of helpfulness, evasion of duty,
watchfulness of the clock that not an
eFtra minute of time may be nut in;
the expectation that, while you give un-
~@i"7G@inG service to one everybody
will give it to o Opportunity opens
wide to the cheerful. helpful person,
but her gates must be pried open for
those who lack good will and expect al
ways to be helped.
