Troubles Of A
Poor Millionaire
In Abilene, Texas, 240 miles
from his Pecos home, indicated
financier Billie Sol Estes headed
his white Cadillac up a one-way
street—the wrong way, Police
officer Don Slatton, parked in a
patrol car, honked a warning.
Billie Sol stopped, smiled, waved
at the officer, backed up, and
took another route. To Slatton,
the driver's face wasn't familiar
but his actions were. As the law-
man put it: "Sometimes when a
man is that friendly to a police-
man, it means the man has no
driver's license," Slatton casual-
ly followed the Cadillac and saw
it go through a stop sign. The
patrol car's red lights flashed, the
Cadillac stopped, and Estes
sheepishly identified h i m s e 1 f,
Sure enough, he had no driver's
license. What was more, the
bankrupt ex -millionaire said he '
lacked the cash to pay $55 in
fines ($50 of it for driving with-
out a license). Billie Sol tele-
phoned his brother, Abilene den-
tist Dr, John Estes, who sent an
attorney with $200 for a bond.
The money can be reclaimed if
Estes returns to pay or contest
the fines, but Slatton said;
"Somehow I don't expect him to
come back."

Craving For Solt
Gan Be Dangerous
Would you use sodium, a thus -
tie alknii, to seaswt your food?
Or chlorine, a poisonous gas?
"Ridiculous questions." you
say, "Nobody would be fool-
hardy enough to do that!".
Of coarse not, But the shock-
ing truth is that most people do
— because.they don't know that
these powerful chemicals consti-
tute the inorganic crystalline
compound known as salt,
For centuries, the expression
"salt of the earth" has been used
as a catchphrase to designate
something good and essential.
Nothing could be more erron-
eous. For that apparently harm-
less product that you shake into
your food' every day can actually
bury you.
Consider these startling facts:
(1) Salt is not a food. There is
no more justification for its cul-
inary use than there is for potas-
sium chloride, calcium chloride,
barium chloride or any other
chemical on the chemist's shelf,
(2) Salt cannot be digested, as-
similated or utilized by the body.
It has no nutritional value. In-
stead, it is postively harmful and
disease -producing, especially in
the case of kidney ailments.
(3) Salt may act as a heart poi-
son. It also increases the irrita-
bility of the nervous system,
tends 1.o aggravate epileptic con-
ditions and lowers the bars
against apoplexy.
(4) Salt acts to rob calcium
from the body and attacks the
mucous lining throughout the
entire gastro-intertinal tract.
If salt is so dangerous to the
health, why is it used so widely?
Mainly because it is a habit that
has become ingrained over thous-
ands of years, But it is a habit
based on a serious misconcep-
tion.
The misconception is that the
body needs it. But many people—
and, in fact, entire races of
people, as the Eskimos — never
eat salt and never miss it.
Once a person is free of the
habit, salt is as objectionable and
repulsive to the taste as tobacco
Le to a non-smoker.
Among certain animal species,
salt acts as a positive poison,
particularly in the case of fowl.
And swine have been known to
die after large doses of it.
How did the habit originate?
The biochemist Bunge explains
that in prehistoric times there
was a proper balance of sodiurn
and potassium salts in the
earth.
But continued rainfall over the
centuries washed away the more
soluble sodium salts. In time, all
soils and land -grown foods be-
came deficient in sodium but high
in potassium,
The result was that animals
and human beings developed a
craving for something to replace
this deficiency. They found a
poor, ineffective and highly dan-
gerous substitute in inorganic
sodium chloride, or common salt.
Swallowing salt to obtain na-
tural sodium is like taking cal-
cium chloride to get calcium.
Bath are chemicals, and neither
can be assimilated by the body
cells.
Since all chemicals are harm-
ful to the digestive organs, we
can understand why the stomach
develops a sudden and abnormal
thirst after salt is consumed.
The stomach is simply reacting
to a foreign substance and is tak-
ing quick action to wash it out
of the body through the kidneys.
You can imagine what effect
this has on the delicate kidney
tubules, Of all the body organs,
the kidneys are most subject to
injury from salt.
This is why persons suffering
from nephritis are generally for -
hidden to use any salt in their
diet. Salt -eating, in fact, is thrown
to pave the way en' kidney cti-
c0se, writes Dr. Raymond Bern-
ard in "Cit -Bits."
What huppens when more snit
is eaten than the kidneys can
eliminate? The excess is deposit-
ed in various parts of the body,
especially in the lower part of
the legs,
To proteet its tissues against
this poison the body automati-,
eally seeps to dilute it kg accum-
ulating water in these areas.
As the tissues become water -
togged the body tends to swell
up. Peet and ankles bloat pain-
fully.
Just as salt is harmful to the
kidneys, so it is injurious to the
heart: Even the small amount in
bread is considered, In some
heart conditions, to be danger -
008, t
The action of the heart muscle
is governed by therelative con-
centration and balance of sodium
and calcium salts in the blood.
An excess of sodium will there-
fore tend to disturb this action,
increasing the heart beat and the
blood pressure. In the sante way,
salt upsets the nervous system,
The decalcifying effect of salt
tends to rob the body of calcium
by drowning calcium salts in
thirst -quenching liquids a n d
creating a predisposition to acid-
osis.
Salt starts its attack by biting
into the mucous membranes of
the mouth and then spreading its
irritation all along the gastro-
intestinal tract.
This is why salt of various
kinds, such as Epson salts, act as
strong purgatives. The body ac-
cumulates water in the intestines
in an effort to expel these harm-
ful substances,
The most dramatic case of salt
injury occured recently in a New
York hospital where a number of
babies died when the chemical
was inadvertently used in their
food.
Adults are not as vulnerable,
But they cannot keep taking this
chemical with impunity. It is dif-
ficult to avoid consuming it be-
cause it • has been sprinkled into
virtually every processed and
canned food. But they must if
they value their health.
The body needs solium chlor-
ide. But only when it is provid-
ed in organic form, such as in
celery, sea vegetation, and so on,
can this substance be utilized by
living cells.
Q. It is all right to eat an
open -face sandwich with the

A. When a sandwich is served
