Immediately physicians prescribed a reduction in the use of lavble saI' in and on foods. outlined diets low in salt which could be eaten safely and listed foods, rich or high in table salt and similar salts to be avoided or eaten in small quanti- ties. As salt holds 70 times its own weight in water in the tissues. this excem of water increases the both" weight and raises the blood pres- sure. Thus ali diets to reduce both blood pressure and body weight prescribe a W”? rtductlon of salt with foods eaten. 3.4- .i Another u... ...m in which cut- ting down on blc salt gives relief is in Menierc's disease - partial loss of hearing. dizziness. heazl noises and buzzing ears. with some- times nausea and vomiting. Cutting down on table salt or omitting table salt from the daily food intake is a serious matter to nearly all of us. Good digestion of food requires plenty of digestive juices in mouth. stomach and small intestine. and our food needs some salt to stimulate appetite and flow of these juices. Because taste and appetite for foods is an important part of en- joying and digesting food. lack of salt is. as stated above. a serious matter. It can readily be seen that if we can't have salt. we must have something to take its place. Ac- cordingly on the market today are a number of substitutes for salt which seem to be meeting the dc- slre or need for salt in most cases. one of the substances used in salt substitutes is lithium chloride which resembles sodium chloride (table salt.)

GRAY os silo ploys DING CROSBY True success Story By F. II. IMAHIII it has been said of Jonathan Swift that he was the greatest of English saiirlsil. Swift was born in Dublin of English parentrsnd it was only by special dispensa- tion that he received his college degree. ' In 1689. he became secretary to Sir William Temple of Moor Park. Surrey, but his independent Ipirli made this relation a rather un- pleasant one and after five years. he threw in the sponge. returned to, Ireland to secure what they called in those days a "church living.'' It was evident that Jonathan Swift had not yet found his right groove. The new job irked him almost as much as his first one and becoming entirely fed-up. he returned to Moor Park. where he lived until Temple's death. During this time of his life. arose his love for the Stella of his writings. Miss Hester John- son. a relation of Sir William Tem- pie and an inmate of hi; house- hold. O O O In 1699. Mr. Swift accepted an invitation from the Earl of Ber- keley to accompany him to Ire- land in the capacity of Chaplain and private secretary and that nobleman presented Swift with the living or charge Laracor. Once established in his new residence. Swift lost no time in sending for his sweetheart. Miss Johnson. who with her friend. a Mrs. Dlngley. lived at the parsonage during Swift's absence and near enough to be seen frequently when he was home. However. Swift had a flair for tho pen and the famous "Tale of the Tub". published in 1704. brought him wide notice and by the satire against literary and religious pedanlry. he injured his chance for advancement in the church. During a stay in England. Swift wrote the Journal to Stella. a work which throws much light on his daily life. In these years. he be- came acquainted with Miss Hester Vanl-Iomrigh. called by him Van- cesa. Hester was a young lady of fortune who had set her cap for Jonathan and proposed mar- riage. an almost unheard of thing for a woman to do in those days. 0 0 0 when he returned to Ireland. she followed him and look up her resi- dence in the neighborhood. About this time, she became aware of his love for Stella. and pursued by the green-eyed monster. she visit- ed Stella and demanded the truth. Swift's anger over this incident caused a wide rupture in their friendship and is said to have caused Hester's death soon after- ward. In 1724. the publication of the Drapier Letters made Swift the hero of the Irish people. and two years later. the appearance of Gulliver's Travels made him fam- ous. Swift labored long 10 better the condition of the poor in Ire- land. Indeed. he continued to fight their cause until his mind gave way. His insanity continued until his death in 1745. Throughout all his writings. his biting satire can be traced. grow- ing more savage towards the end of his life. This may be account- ed for partly by his intense hatred of all sham and injusticc. partly by the tragic gloom of his own nature. LONG LASTING jjl MIDDLE MUSQUODOBOIT. N.

It is possible when the night has come in the garden to follow the fragrance through the garden gate and on and on until the lilies are reached at the far end of the garden. Plani- ed. with blue and white Del- phinium they are very attractive. coo August is the month of lilies and few flowers bring your garden the unusual and exotic beauty of lilies, the romance of the far cor- nars of the earth in which many of them were discovered. They have come from Europe, Asia. Africa and the wild crannies of America to delight you with their different grace and loveliness. Growirig some of the stranger varieties gives you enjoyment and satisfaction like that of collecting rare jades and porcelains. As a group they are not the easiest flowers to grow, but I have found the Regal quite easy. and I-Ienryi a yellow orange is a splendid gar- den plsni vigorous and hardy in this garden for many years. The Speciosum is a spotted white in copper and rich ruby carmine: stout of substance and broad of petal. this variety stands out on accountof in vigorous growth as well as the size and depth of col- oring. . Day Lilies are now blooming in ,i.he garden. sometimes they are called lemon Lilies and they are hardy perennials belonging to the Lily order. For generations they have been grown for years in all gardens. both here and abroad. The numerous species have long. narrow leaves and yellow or orange flowers. many of which possess a delicious fragrance. Very graceful and stately plants for the perennial borders and doing espe- cially well in shady places. ' o o Any kind of soil will grow these plants successfully. they may be grown singly or in asses and they do well in full sun as well as shade. Plant one to two feet apart in autumn or spring, replant every third year after dividing and soon it is possible to have a large collection. Hosts. sometimes called Plan- tain Lily. and Funkia. is now blooming on tall stems in blue lily like flowers. The foliage of this hardy perennial is beautiful and it is used a great deal in English gardens as an accent plant. The leaves are lance-sha, d and they come in bluish and variegated color. The I-Iosta in this garden have grown here for several years. and they have been divided many times. At the north of the house they do especially well. Deeply dug rich earth and some shade will give you s beautiful plant. , Lilies have always been associ- ated with church decoration from the time of the early Christians and the Patron Saint of Gardens.
