The Clinton News Record, 1930-06-05, Page 7• THR" CLINTON NEWS -RECORD 'A Column Prepared Especially for Women— But Not Forbidden,to Men Pew of those who will read these nes have ever known the want of salt. It is ,such a commonthing, used every day in cooking and in the preservation= of food that we .have seldom stopped to consider howIm- portant it is, Salt has always been highly prized in the East, where it• is not quite so common as with us and is held in high regard. Thp ex- pression, "The xpression,"The salt of the earth," de- noting solid worth, no doubt comes front the saying of the Saviour to Tris desciples, "Ye are the sant of the earth," To us it seemed rather strange that revolutionary leaders in India should choose to defy the Government in the matter of salt duties. But the salt duty is a uni- versal one as salt is used by high and low„ rich and poor alike. And the leaders chose it iii the hope that the movement would have the wider scope. The trouble in India is wholly regrettable and it is hoped that some way may be found out of the difficulty before it becomes more serious. But to return to the matter of salt, quite apart from its flavouring" and preserving qualities salt can be used for many purpCses. To ennum- erate: Light colored cloth can be cleaned very satisfactorily with dry salt. The garment should be laid on a table or other hard surface and salt scattered liberally over it. It should be spread evenly over the surface of the material. A pad should then be made of a piece of linen folded sev- eral times, and with this the salt immeamirannawergem should. be' rubbed into the oloth by means of long sweeps. Care roust be taken not to rub in circles, as thiswould be liable to af- fect the surface of the -cloth. When the whole garment has been treated the salt should be brushed out and the garment shaken. Salt, too, has its use in laundry - work, as a spoonful placed in the rinsing water will effectually g^top any 'running" ofcolor in a fabric which is not gabfest". If If a handful of salt has been added to the rinsing water,no difficulty ivill be experieneed in drying the clothes gut of doors in frosty weath- er. They will not freeze after this treatment, For culinary purposes it has .two opposite uses. Placed in hot water it speeds up the boiling, whilst placed in cold water it lowers the tenvpera- ture. This is the reason it is used in conjunction with ice for freezing pur- poses. If an egg ,cracks during boiling, a teaspoonful of salt in the water will prevent the white from spreading. 'When removing sterns it is always wise to use simple remedies when- ever posisbie. Salt is very uesful in this respect. If a fresh fruit stain is covered immediately with salt, it will generally absorb all the coloring matter and a rinse will complete the removal of the stain. Ink, too, unless it has dried, will. generally yield to salt and lemon juice, followed by a soap and water wash.

Tlhe fight against -black stem rust on wheat has brought out the astonish- ing fact that as man develops means of limiting its growth, nature appos- es by developing new and more re- sistant strains, E. C. Stakman, plant pathologist of the Minnesota Exper- iment Station working !with other pathologists, in the Canadian rust re- search laboratories here, made this discovery. The more resistant strains• are developed on the barberry bush, which acts as an intermediate host by crossing the different strains of rust to produce the new and more resistant /varieties. COUNTRY TO ELECT NEW pAR- LIAMENT, CLEAN BUILDINGS. Ottawa, May 30, (Special to The News -Record) That good ship the Sixteenth Parliainent of Canada has gone down at last and the 245 mem- bers of its crew are foundering in the seas of a general electron campaign. ,How many of then, will be listed as survivors and how many of them will sink into oblivion only election day itself will tell. The end carne in characteristic fash- ion. There were those who stuck to the ship to the last and were found at their posts when propogation finally engulfed them. And there were those who did not wait for the end but struck out for their ridings some days before it came. • It was a case of any port in a. storm and to some members the best chance of a life preserver seemed to lie in active attention to the business of organization in their own constituencies.

FIRST AID IN THE HOi1 11 It is a good plan for every family to be prepared to deal with emergen. cies which may arise. In each home there should be available the few arti- cles which may be used with advan- tage in dealing with such emergen- cies. It is best to keep these articles' properly labelled' in a separate medi- cine cabinet, Iocked and out of the reach of children. The following is a list of the arti- cles for the first aid cabinet:—.A first aid !outfit containing sterile gauze and bandages, to be used in dressing cuts and wounds. Aromatic Sprits of Ammonia, ;tw'o ounces. Give one-half teaspoonful in water in case of fainting. Alcohol, rubbing, for use as a Ifni= ment to relieve pain in case of sprains and strains. Carbolated Vaseline, one tube. Use in the treatment of: burns. Apply freely; cover with a piece of clean cotton and hold haplace with a bhn- dage. Oil of cloves. A drop or two on ab- sorbent e+otton, placed in the cavity of an aching tooth, Boraeic Acid. Dissolved in water, may be used as a mild antiseptic wash or for making a oempress. Syrup of Ipecac. 'Use one tea- spoonfuI, followed by a drink of warm water, to cause vomiting. A roli,of absorbent cotton, a pair of scissors, a clinical therometer, safety pins, adhesive tape, and a medicine glass can be conveniently kept in the cabinet, and will be found useful in carrying out the iustructions of the physicianwhen there is illness in the home. ' . The above list may seem to be very short to the person who is used to having shelves crowded with bottles. It is to be remembered that most minor illnesses db not requiro treat- ment with drugs.

Persild, who will take charge of the anitnals on their arrival at the Mac- Kenzie delta. Mr. Persild reports that there is land available in that region sufficient to support 250,000 head. ing the arrival of the doctor is limi- ted to a few things.
