Body Fluids Contain Salt

1t is fact that the fluids of the
body all contain certain amount of
salt and as soon as this is decreased,
trouble develops. The tissues are
two-thirds water and all of it con-
talns definite amount of sodium
chloride. The craving of patient
who is on salt-free diet for some
sodium chloride indicates the need of
it by the organism.
This is not merely matter of taste.
The body needs salt Many pa
TENTS life has been saved after a
hemorrhage by injecting a couple
quarts of salt solution. Distilled
water would have killed them, because
of the isotonic in balance it would
have created.
Assuming just for the sake of the
argument that we could get along
with less salt, we still have to take
into account the fact that we are the
product of centuries Of custom and
habit. The race has become accus-
toned to the eating of certain
amount Of salt, and we of today can
not get away from it. Just as the
individual through use of a certain
thing creates in his body the need
for it, SO the components of an entire
race can be and are committed to
certain requirements that become nee
essary to the maintenance of life I'M
der existing conditions. Cranks to
contrary, notwithstanding.

There is no crank quite SO cranky
as the diet crank. It seems people can
get off their base more completely on
the diet question than any other form
of fanaticism.
We seem indisposed to accept the
proven evidence of the centuries and
let it rest there. We have to dig in
and see if we cannot change things
to conform to our ideas, instead of
adapting our views to our observa-
tions.
We are always trying to improve
on nature, and making horrible mess
Of the process. We see some phenom-
enon in nature and evolve a law to
fit it. Then after the lapse of time
we come to believe that nature be-
HAYES in that particular way because
we formulated the rule.

to cause hardening of the arteries,

| wonder how they missed clinkers in
the windpipe as one of the effects of
eating salt. What has of late been
written about the harmful effects of
eating salt is in line with the present
day disposition to substitute our
opinions for the proven facts in ma
ture.
Is salt harmful? In moderation,
no; in excess, yes. In other words,
the same rule applies here as to any
thing else. You can do almost any,
thing in moderation without shorten
ing your life. The human race has
ben eating salt for centuries, and
during that time the span of life has
been quadrupled If we are to accept
the statements of some people regard
ing the harmful effects of salt, the
race should be extinct by this time.
Every dietitian has some pet aversion.
If you and | were to exclude from
our diet everything that has been
pronounced harmful by diet cranks
there would be nothing left for us to
eat.
There is so much evidence in sup
port of the belief that we do need
certain amount of salt that one hard
~ knows where to begin in present
ing it. Some say that there is enough
salt in what we eat to make it I'M
necessary to add any to it. If that is
true, why it it that farmers put a
lump of salt in the pasture where cat
tie are grazing? Cows don't know
anything about sodium chloride, but
they do know what is good for them.
We can learn many profitable lesson
by observing the behavior Of animals
who 60 entirely on instinct
| am told that during the Civil war
the soldiers were deprived of salt and
that as a result their teeth became
affected to such degree that they
rubbed their gums with their own
Urine. Which shows that a salt-free
diet is not exactly conducive to good
health.

TIE, KINGS PET

1t SO happens that King George of

In the animal kingdom there is
nothing more striking than the glow

not consistently surpass it.

THE TRAFFIC GATHERING

New Britain's importance as a
producer of freight business for the
railroads is never better illustrated
than the alacrity with which rail-
road executives meet here for the
annual banquet of the traffic bureau
OF the Chamber of Commerce.
The railroad executives simply
could not afford to turn down an in
vitation to visit here. Freight from
New Britain. travelling over their
lines. is entirely too important to
think of such thing.
The president of the Erie was here
in person. Few realize the amount Of
freight that leaves New Britain for
the west over the lines of the Erie.

TAKING OVER EMPRESS cos.

Railroads of the country, which
for years regarded the express COM
panies as attending to a business
which they themselves could handle.
seem bent upon taking over the
transportation of packages and next
February, when the contracts with
the express companies expire, the
Railway Express Agency, Inc, will
begin doing business for the lines.
The railroads regard the ex-
press companies as middlemen who
do not pay them enough for the use
of their lines; the express concerns.
OH the. other hand, have said they
lie paid more for the transport OF
packages. The Interstate Commerce
Commission has wrestlcd with
the figures in vain.
Now the railroads will be able to
take the profits heretofore earned
by the express companies. thus add
ing TO their income without charg-
ing the public higher rates unless the
j. L. c. should happen to grant such
higher rates. This is doubtful
The express business has been in
tellisently conducted. The companies
have been able to compete fairly well
with the post Office and in the send
ing Of money orders with both the
post office and the banks. This the
railroads do not deny, but promise
TO give equally as good "A service
when thy take hold in February.
Originally some railroads also
owned telegraph lines and sleeping
cars. The Canadian Pacific does No

Nary a dividend has ever been
paid by the Radio Corporation Of
America: yet its stock has become

and is quoted at nearly 400 on
some days. Yesterday it slipped Is

like a thermometer.
Either this Radio stock is to be
the greatest bubble Of modern times
or it is another General Motors.
Perhaps 1t is a reflection Of the
radio receiving set business. which is
rather rushing Just now If the stock
doesn't pay dividend now. when
the business is expanding SO rapidly
will it be in better position to
earn money and pay 1t out in the
form of dividends when the satura-

crease in stock value considered an
adequate substitute for dividends for
the present?
Brokers' loans are well in excess
OF six billions of dollars: last month
there was an increae of mores than

In this stock business you borrow
the money to gamble with and then
pay back what you owe after you
have won. If perchance you happen
to lose you borrow some more money
to tide you over to the day when
YOU win. And yet there are laws
against plain and common gambling
and even cops get called down
when they indulge in the prevailing
