COMMON SALT
WILL PREVENT
NIGHT SNEAT5
Is Being Used with Fine Sue
cess by Doctors in Ger
man Army.
lCorrcsponlcncc of Assoclalcd PrCep


BERLIN, Aug. To-. Encouraging
results from the administration of
common salt as n remedy against
the cnfeeblIng night sweats OF con-
sumptives and against excessive
pcrspiratlon In the case Of marching
soldiers Nrc reported by Company
Surgeon Link in an article In tho
Munich Medical Weekly.
Sweat contains about six parts Of
salt In the thousand. A hard march
of few hours on n hot day results
in the exudNIIOn of five to six litera
of sweat, with salt content of
twenty-iour TO thirty grams. A
strong night sweat OF u consumptive
exudes as much AZ two and One-halC
llters, causing salt loss Of fifteen
grams. This amount is far from un-
important, since the blood contains
altogether only about twenty grams
Of salt, an amount about correspond
ing to the maximum daily consump-
tion Of salt In foods.
DR.. Links first experiments were
made with sufferers from tubercu-
losls. 1t occurred to him that their
excessive fatigue OF mornings might
well be due 10 the loss of salt, and
that this might be counteracted by
salt ration. He began by giving
level teasDoonful OF salt (about
five grams) In a small glass OF water
just before patients retired The
result was greater freshness and
absence of wOarlness on the follow
ing morning, but the patients either
had no night sweats or else very
slight ones, All patients except
those suffering also from stomach
catarrh and high fever stood the
salt dosing without any III effects
whatever.
His experiences led DR.. Link to
experiment with healthy persons,
and especially soldiers. About 100
soldiers of ono regiment were given
teaspoonful Of salt at 5:45 o'clock
In the morning before beginning
their days march. After march
Of nearly twenty miles in muggy
weather the soldiers thus dOsed ex-
hibited much less fatigue than their
comrades, and their perspIration
was but fraction Of that Of the
others.

FFEAASST
OF the Assumption is Observed
by Catholics throughout
the World. /

Catholics in all parts Of the world
celebrated the principal feast Of the
Blessed Virgin, namely, "the As
sumption" Tuesday.
The doctrine Of the assumption Of
the Blessed Virgin Mary, sign1fying
that she was assumed bodily after
her death into Heaven, is one, 1t is
pointed out, that is believed univers-
ally by Roman Catholics. While
nothing certain is known, It Is said
regarding the day, year and manner
OF the Virgins death, the dates as
signed for 1t vary between three and
fifteen years after Chrlsts ascension.
Two cities claim to be the place Of
her departure: Jerusalem and Eph-
esus. Common consent, 1t is de-
clared, fayors the former, where her
tomb is shown.

NEW YORK, August 15.-The epi-

turn for the worse despite the con-
tinuation of unusual cool weather.
During the twenty-four hours ending
at 10 a, m. Tuesday 1863 new cases of

were reported to the health depart
ment. This is an increase in new
cases Of nearly 100 per cent over Mon
days figures which showed ninety-five
we're stricken with the plague and
thirty-one children died, Failure OF
physicians to report cases over the
Sunday holidays was suggested as a
reason for the increase In Tuesdays

there have been 6,532 cases and 1853
deaths.

REPORTS MAY NOMINATE
THEODORE ROOSEVELT

The false reports recently sent out
from New York for the Democratic
press together with that manufac-
tured and given to the people of the
country as facts has just about set
tied the question of who is to be NOM
mated at Chicago.
Local citizens are reporting to the
Herald office that the report sent
out by the press that two million Ger
mans have notified the Republicans
that they will not support Roosevelt
if nominated, is almost certain to
nominate Roosevelt and elect him by
one of the largest majorities ever
given man for president in this
country.
In the first place, there are not
many Germans in this country who
care to be classed as disloyal to
America. The Germans as people
are as loyal to America as any other
nationality. To insinuate that they
are disloyal is to offer to the Ger
man people an insult. All history
shows, as Roosevelt said in his st.
Louis address, that there are no more
loyal people to the American flag
than are the German people living in
America.
In the second place, only the mem
bers of the German-American alliance
who number only few thousand in
all, have taken any action on this
matter. They did send out a report
that they would not support either
Wilson or Roosevelt.

PRESIDENT WILSON
LOST OPPORTUNITY

There is no question about the fact
that many people believe that Presi-
dent Wilson has made the mistake OF
his political career, viewing his work
from party view point, when he
changed front and went down thru the
Mississippi valley shouting with tears
in his eyes that he proposed an army
of million men and that this nation
was liable to be attacked any minute
by Germany.
1t is true that the Democratic party
has always stood for no preparation
for war just as Bryan stands today.
A large majority of the party believe
with Bryan, and number of Repub-
lcans have stood with the Demo
Gratis on this issue.
Had Wilson stood with Bryan on
those issues and kept quiet on the
probability of war with Germany.
many believe that the Democrats
could have made a successful issue of
it with the help of some Republican
votes, but as it is now Wilson has
trained many Democrats to believe in
preparedness and has alienated the
sympathy of the so-called peace-at-
any-price Republicans and Demo
Gratis. This leaves the President with
only his majority faction of Demo-
Gratis to stand solidly behind him. He
has offender both the German-Ameri-
can and the Irish-American vote and
many others of his party who believe
that man to be president should
have backbone and stand for what he
believes to be the right thing to do,
regardless of personal victory or de-
feat
