Salt in the Food

DO We need salt in the food? ]. NJ. g.
No. We eat It simply because we have
liking for It. Food in its natural state
has all the ingredients necessary for the
human body. However, It must be said
that very little salt may be added to the
food without material injury. The excess
sive quantities of salt which many people
eat are injurious. The kidneys are over
taxed and other harmful effects are pro-
duced. 1t is best to accustom the taste
to the use Of as little salt as possible.

H. S. GIRLS MAKE OWN
GRADUATING DRESSES
Gowns Nearly Completed-Cost Lin
tied to So Each-Made in Dom
este Science Rooms

Last September the girls of the
senior class at the Morris high
school agreed to make their own
graduating gowns and at a stated
maximum expense if the usual ora
ton that each senior was usually
obliged to give during the school
year at the opening assemblies,
would be omitted. Today the girls
have almost completed the gowns at
a maximum cost of SO each and the
supposed hardship has been so much
fun that they would prepare and give
the abOminable OratiOns rather than
be without the experience.
There are fifteen girls in the class
and they have cut out the cloth and
done all the work in the domestic
science rooms after school. Nearly
all of the girls are enrolled in the
domestic science department. Some
of the girls have all Of the seam
work done and have only the finish
ing work yet to do. Say, I would
rather have my So gown than one of
those $50 gowns that l was longing
for last summer" said one of the
girls.
