MEMORIAL DAY

. Hats off! IT'S here they make
Their last, unbroken camp,
No bugles shall them wake.
For them no war-steeds champ,
, The captain and his troop,
The corp'ral and his squad
) Form one all-equal group
Beneath the peaceful sod.
Hats off! For here they come
Those others, still on guard,
Who follow to the drum,
By time and tempest SCARED.
The private and his chief,
The blouse and chevroned sleeve
Together ranked in grief,
AS comrades Joined, to grieve.
Hats off! Unto the van!
Hats off! Unto the rear!
They mingle, man and man,
In mem'ry, and midst tear.
Now sadly sounds the "taps!'
Slow moves the guard away,
Again are drawn the flaps
Until another May.

RECOGNIZE VALUE OF SALT.
Scientists Now Are Practically unanL
NOUS In Their Appreciation of
the Humble Mineral.

The preservative. the cleansing and
the soothing effects of salt have been
known for ages. To this extent, and
with some recognition of existing prac-
tees, the use of saline solutions in
British military hospitals. noted In a
cable despatch, is not new. The in
teresting points are in the evolution
OF salt TO the position of sole heal
ing agent, and In the method of ap-
plication by constant stream which,
In single flowing, washes the wound,
guards 1t from infection and con.
tributes healing power.
An ancient and common household
article thus supplants, after the initial
disinfecting, the highly scientific.
antiseptic appliances OF the day.
This elaboration of an old remedy
recalls TO mind the medical stir which
followed in 1901 the publication from
the University of Chicago, by DIR.
jacques Loeb and Prof. d. ]. Lingle.
OF the theory that solution of COM
mon salt in the blood, neutralized by
calcium and possibly potassium salt
solutions, was the cause of the
rhythmic beating of the heart All
doctors had known of saline injec-
tions TO stimulate the heart. Those
who hesitated over the new PROPOSE
tion admitted the physiological i'm
portance of salt and It's ability. after
hemorrhage. to supply the de-
iciency In circulation until new blood
Is made.
Inland people of old esteemed
saline springs as gifts of the gods.
Chips Of salt were anciently used as
money, and the mineral stood, as
many passages in the Bible testify,
for high religious symboIsms. The
sharing of salt represented in other
days sacred pledge of friendship.
A precious and essential quantity In
our daily living. though but casually
regarded on the grocer's bill for sup
plies, salt may yet be revealed in a
more intimate relation TO life itself
than daring scientists have guessed.
