Why Does Salt Make You Thirsty

From the Book of Wonders.
 The blood in our body contains about the same proportion of salt as the water in the ocean normally When the supply is normal we do not feel that we have too much salt in our systems, but when you take salt into your mouth the per- Centage of salt in the body is increased, and the being thirsty, of the desire to drink water afterwards is caused by the demand of the human sytem that the salt be diluted. The system calls for water or something to drink in order that it may counteract the too great per centage of salt in the system. Other things also, when taken into the body in too great a proportion, cause us to become thirsty. Thirst is merely na- lures demand for more water on account

Information received in various quar-
tiers Of the wholesale market here indi-
Gates New York IL to witness a great
Influx OF buyers from all sections Of the
country during the next week or ten
days.
Already the activities Of the early ar
rivals are being felt in some Of the trade
centres. In most instances tho buyers
are ordering their fall goods in much
larger quantities than they have for sew
eral seasons, this being duo to the fact
that retailers throughout the United
States never before have experienced
such q selling boom as has been enjoyed
during the last few months, and mer-
chants who have bought conservatively
In the past now find their racks almost
barren.
Much propaganda has circulated In
the merchandise market the last fort
night urging buyers to anticipate their
seasons requirements at the earliest
possible moment. as every indication
pointed to n shortage Of goods, while
certain manufacturers and commission
men have admitted sending out tips"
to their customers of long standing, to
the effect that because OF the unusual
conditions which exist in the market
attention to purchasers of other seasons
can only be given to the early birds
rhis season.
Early buyers in the market thus far
say that high grade merchandise 10 most
wanted and they have instructions to
buy everything Of value they can OBJ
tain. The uncertainty which exists in
the raw material markets Is said to be
| acting as an impetus to big orders for
no one can tell how long certain lines Of
