COMMON SALT FOR
CONSUMPTION
Encouraging Results Reported in the
Munich Medical Journal

Berlin, August l7.--Eneouraging re-
suits from the administration of COM
mon salt as a remedy against en-
feebling night sweats Of consump-
tivcs and against excessive pcrspira-
ton in the case Of marching soldiers
are reported by Company Surgeon
Link in an article in the Munich Med
ical Weekly.
Sweat contains about six parts Of
salt in the thousand. A hard march Of
few hours on a hot day results in
the exudation of five TO six liters Of
sweat, with salt content Of "a TO
80 grams. A strong night sweat Of a
consumptve exudes as much as pa
liters, causing a salt loss OF 10 grams.
This amount is far from unimportant,
since the blood contains altogether
only about 20 grams of salt, an
amount corresponding to the maxi
mum daily consumption of salt in
foods.
III. IlIth iiHb IN flitAiAs N'i'
made with sufferers from tuberculosis.
1t occurred to him that their excessive
fatigue mornings might well be due TO
the loss Of salt, and that this might be
counteracted by salt ration. He be-
gan By giving a level teaspoonfull Of
salt { about five grams) in a small
glass Of water just before patients re-
tired. The result was a greater fresh
ness 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
suffering from stomach catarrh and
high fever stood the salt dosing with
out any i'll effects whatever.
His experiences led DR.. Link to ex-
pertinent with healthy persons and
especially soldiers About 100 sol
diers Of one regiment were given a tea
spoonful of salt at 5;45 o'clock in the
morning before beginning their days
march. After a march Of nearly 20
miles in muggy weather the soldiers
thus dosed exhibited much less fatigue
than their comrades, and their per
spiration was but fraction Of that Of
the others.

Women Eat Dirt to Keep Slim


At Ochrida, in Macedonia, and in some
villages of Sardinia, fine white earth forms
an essential part of the local bread, and is
brought to market together with other ar
ticles of food. Other countries of Europe
where earth is eaten are Treviso, in upper
Italy, Syria, in Austria, and certain parts
of Germany around the famous Kiefhauser,
and in the heath of Luneburg. Here the
workingmen butter their bread with a fine
clay, nicknamed by them "stone butter"
Finally, in the northernmOst parts of Swe-
den, and on the Peninsula of Kola, in the
government of Archangel, fine clay, clean
ed of mud and pulverized, is mixed with
flour to make the bread tasty.
But the real home of earth eating is Asia.
The famous earth of Nishapur, Persia, is
used either raw or roasted and is often pre-
pared with spices and perfumes.
Passing to India we are told by DR.. Bah
itsch that in the markets of Calcutta burn
ed clay is offered for sale in the shape of
small sticks. The women are its principle
consumers. Women and children in Siam
consider steatite delicious dainty. The wo-
men of the coast towns of Java swallow
their ampo in the form of small square tab
let's or tubes, mainly with the purpose of
preserving their slimness

Pastor Russell.

A recent death in which there was uni
versal interest was the passing Of Charles
Taze Russell, commonly spoken of Pastor
Russell" We lack Hformation, and there
fore any opinion, as to the nature and value
of his teachings But obviously he must have
been a man of great force to impress the
minds of SO many people as he did. He built
up a religious cult, as did John Wesley, 10y
ola, Alexander Campbell and Mrs. Mary
Baker Eddy and lived to see the effects Of
his efforts in an organization made up Of
men and women who are notably Jealous and
no doubt sincere in their professions. The
value and fruitage of his teachings must be
sought for in the lives and influence of those
who believed with him.
