oRcANrC VS.. INORGANIC SALTS

ORGANIC W.. 1NONOANAO 0AAA =
In my articles I frequently mention
the need Of organic salts. These salts
are not the same as table salt. Or
eanic salts are inorganic mineral
salts which have been absorbed and
"orfaniSed" by living plants. These
salts are absolutely essential to life
and are abundant In the fruits, milk
ana non-starchy parts OF the green
vegetables. etc. 49,.
Table salt is not essential to life.
A small amount to make the food
palatable does not seem to harm and
may stimulate digestion. but my ex-
perience with thousands Of patients
convinces me that an excessive
amount Of salt will retard or prevent
the cure Of many diseases.
Chemically, the elements are al
ways the same whether they are
found in earth, grass. plant or ami
NAL, but as they are found In the
earth they are unable to sustain life.
The lime which the plasterer uses.
the potash used in I've. and the iron
Of the steel mills cannot be taken up
by the body and converted into cell
structure. This is likewise true of
common table salt which imparts an
agreeable flavor to improperly cooked
food.
Only plants have the power to di-
gest and utilize the clements Of the
soil. The animal can only use these
elements after they have been so
changd by plants or after they have
been absorbed from the plant by
some other animal. It seems that
these elements 60 through some sort
Of change that Is too delicate for the
chemist to discover and for this rea-
son many medical text books are mis-
leading when they speak Of inorganic
salts.
It is true that these salts are In
organic chemically, but they are
organic physiologically. The final
test tube is not in the laboratory, but
in the human body.
As inorganic salt Is eaten with
food 1t gets into the blood circula-
ton and may really deprive the cells
of other minerals which they need
more. Largo quantities of salt are
also irritating ana to combat this
tendency, an excessive thirst Is Gre
ated. This is why SO many people
find they must drink liquids with
their meals. The body is calling for
extra liquid to wash out irritating
salt or other unnecessary additions
to the diet. such as condiments,
pickles, spices, etc.
When cattle are fed salt they will
drink large quantities Of water. This
is a good thing for the dairyman
when he wishes the cows to produce
more milk. When salt is distributed
around the cattle ranges cattle, after
licking the salt, will 60 great dis
tances to find water where they
otherwise would be SO indifferent to
thirst for such long time that they
might finally become sick from the
lack of water.
Many observers have pointed to the
fact that all animals like salt and
cite this as a reason for its use, but
you must remember that animals will
cat anything which has good taste
and cannot be depended upon for

as their mothers did IN day when
housework was their be-all and end
all.
NEXT DOOR
The walls Of my apartment are
thin, and hear rome such newly
wed argument every night. She, 1t
seems, works all day and comes home
to do housework while he, whom she
occasionally titles "a big lazy hulk, "
sits in his chair and throws cigarct
butts around for her to clean up. She
demonstrates, and he says, that a
womar's interest should be In her
home" He evidently wants a wage
earning wife who helps pay the rent,
to do all the work his mother did who
didn't help pay the rent.

My. oh my. but this is conven-
ton ridden world!
How many OF us can remember
things we were crazy to do as chill
dren and would have done, too
possessing all the originality and
none of the inhibitions Of childhood
had not our parents done the IN
hibiting for us?
Think back, parents, Of the pet
disappointments you have carried
through the years to maturity. and
then look at your own boy or girl
and try to recall the thing he or she
has been coaxing to do these many
months. Are you holding back be-
cause Of some silly convention? Are
you afraid Of what people might
think?
Perhaps, If it Is something within
your power to grant. 1t might be the
best thing in the world for you to
say, "Yes, 60 ahead!
What = Family Spirit
One of the most refreshing families
of children I ever knew Is possessed
by pair Of parents who took long
ago for their motto the little creed
am preaching. Live and let live"
Is the family slogan.
One boy conceived a notion to
possess . jew's-harp. II you know
what q jew's-harp sounds like think
you'll make obeisance to the mother
who could listen to its whanging dis
tressed voice day in and day out with
out protest. But something in his
soul answered to its complaining. He
loved 1t to distraction. The neighbors
laughed-but the family didn't. They
took 1t quite seriously.
A sister, Nettie, was to be sent to
dancing school. She begged off. Il
can't do that stuff, Mother. Aesthetic
dancing suits me like wings would suit

piece out of the paper-an advertise
ment for q new school where they
teach clogging and tap-dancing. I'm
crazy to learn"
Nettie can tap now with anyone on
the big time.
Emery's talents ran to roping. He
has mastered all Of Will Rogers
stunts and every second out Of school
finds him with his beloved rope. The
family takes 1t as a matter of course.
Probably they will graduate-pass
on to other things later on, these
children. but something very wonder

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Ore&ming

Dreaming
Question: Mrs. l.. r. writes: Il
would like to know the cause for
dreaming at night and what to do
to stop It. dream every night and
all night and In the morning I feel
as though I haven't had any rest.
I don't eat before going to bed, and
I don't have anything on my mind, rs
some have said are the cause Of It,"
Answer: Dreaming Is usually
caused by indigestion and I believe 1t
would be good plan for you to fol-
low out the fasting and dieting re-
gime outlined in my article called "A
Cleansing Diet" which will be mailed
to you upon receipt of q large
stamped envelope. -
Cooking String Beans
Question: r. e. B. asks: will you
please tell me how to cook Just plain
string beans? Most people boil them
with a small piece Of salt bacon. Is
that right2"
Answer: The best way Is to cook
them In a very small amount of
water or without water in q steam or
pressure cooker. The cooking time
varies from between twenty to thirty
minutes according to the kind OF YES
sells you use and the method of cook
ing. String beans are not as digest
ible If cooked with any kind of fat.
Many Of my patients who formerly
thought they could not digest string
beans arc now using them but with.
out the salt pork or bacon.
