Salt Means Much to Health.

IF the human race should be de
prlved OF salt even for "A period of n
few months" said physician, we
would not only lose II natural health
ful incentive for our food, but disease
with all It's attendant mlseries, would
spread with such relentless speed AS to
defy the efforts of the most skiIlful
doctors of the land. Ailing persons
frequently refuse sugar, but they sell
dom turn up their noses ut common
salt. That is because there is IN the
body deficiency OF chloride Of sodium
and nature intultlvely excites the de-
sire for 1t. Salt is essential to health
and life and Is as much food as
bread or flesh If there Is no wish for
salt In a person doctors uniformly con.
clude that disease in some form is
lurking unsuspected in tho system"

Diplomatic Relations with Mexico

What moral effect" the resumption of diplomatic relations with the de facto government of Mexico will have upon the Mexican situation we cannot imagine It would of put and keep Carranza in better frame of mind, but Carranza is a small and almost neglibe part of the situation. He is grow ing smaller day by day So far the effect upon the Mexican people is concerned we might as well estab- fish diplomatic relations with Don Jose Chili Con Carne or Adulfo Hot Tamales
 There may have been time when full recogni- ton of the Carranza government would have been of some assistance to Mexico but that is doubtful. Certainly our half recognition did help his govern nent which entered upon d decline almost simul- taneous with our extension of it. There may have been no relation between those two acts: only an unfortunate coincidence
 The presence of Ambassador Fletcher at Mexico City or of Ambassador Arredondo at Washington will not lessen the activities of Villa Diaz and Zapata On the contrary they will likely spurred to greater activity and find greater need of a consolidation against the First Chief
 Mexico is proof against moral effect as the presi- dent should have suspected many months ago. It can be benefciay affected only by by force rom without Our resumption of diplomatic relations with Carranza will produce about the same beneficial result as the administration homeopathic pill to child whose father is in the last stage of con- sumption.
