SALT DEVELOPS NEW VIRTUES
SprInkIed on PipefuI of Tobacco 1t
Will Prove Most Economical, Is
Smokers Tip.

The extra tax on tobacco may per-
haps suggest to some folk the desir-
ability of substitutes, says the Man
chester Guardian. Many such substi-
tutes have been recommended from
time to time, ranging from cabbage
leaves to the dried lavender, which
some persons have experimental
with, but none of them can be re-
garded as satisfactory.
Perhaps the best tip for the
smoker who desires to ration himself
is to sprinkle his pipeful of tobacco
with salt. The recipe has been hand
ed down from Old Parr, one of the
longest livers and most leisurely of
smokers, who could make his sailed
pipe last full hour.
Salt seems to have virtues that are
not commonly known. A night Or
derby at one of our Red Cross hos
pitfalls had among his charges one
dumb by shell shock. In the middle
of the night the man developed dis
tressing cough, which continued half
an hour or more almost without in
Permission.
Such palliatives as the orderly
had to offer were Intellectual, and at
last the patient seized paper on table
and wrote on it the word salt. Puz-
zled and doubtful, the orderly
brought a salt cellar, and from it
the patient took two good pinches
and swallowed them. He did not
cough again.

HOT MEALS IN THE AIR.

After spending several hours on
patrol duty with the end not yet in
sight, the airman of today would
often give much to partake of hot
food served to him while "on the
wing" And since the only practical
way by which the passengers of an
airplane can have hot drink or hot
food is through the use of a vacuum
bottle or jar, the idea has been sug-
gested that the manufacturers of air
craft would do well to build into
their machines a number of pockets
or wall cases for vacuum bottles, so
that the latter, filled with preheated
food, could be carried in safety. The
suggestion is a good one.-Scientifc

WHY HAND-RAILs ON STAIRS?

The majority of US, subconscious-
ly, no doubt, have come to look upon
handrails on stairways as a conven-
tional decoration-a sort of finishing
off, as it were. Yet last year LAO
people were killed and more than
1000 crippled in the United States
alone, on stairways. High heels and
rundown heels are largely re-
sponsible for stairway accidents,
as well as trailing skirts. But
in almost every instance the
use of the handrail could have
saved the victims of last years
stairway casualties. Handrails are
intended for use, and accordingly
should be firmly grasped when going
down stairs, no matter how conf
dent one may be.-Scientific Ameri-
can.

observance of church duties, the
emulation of great lives, the reading
of good books and the rendering of de
