ages. It has been in competition for
the commerce ef Us Inland sea from
earliest times; has seen its cotnpeti-
ters,. sue hy sue, much their nenith

vals tetoay are of the younger set ef

“Genoa, though of about equal age

Into comaterqwl fame during the early
middle ages. Sldon, Tyre, Athens,tCo-
rinth, Carthage, Ragusa, Pisa, Venice
and a host ef other eltles have at on#
time and another fought a bitter rival-
ry with Marseilles, and of some of
these even the history of their efforts
t» forgotten, while their ene-tlrae rival
has passed through several declines to-
ward an even greater future.
"Tracing its descent from early
Pheniclaa times, the fortunes of Mar-
seilles have ftuctaated with the for-
tunes of dvithmtioB upon the Mediter-
ranean eeasto. The Phoceans, a Greek
people whose trading instincts carried
them beyond the confines of the known
world of their day, came after the
Phent clans,, toek Marseilles from
them and made It the New York of
the ancient world. Due to their en-
terprise Marseilles became-the first of
trading dties, and, during the Punic
wars, its aid saved Rome.
"Situated in the center of things
Mediterranean on the Gulf of the Lion,
enjoying the advantages of an excel-
lent harbor, well equipped, together
with a rich and productive hinterland,
Marseilles has again become the first
port on the inland sea, the first port
of France, the second city of the re-
public and one of the wealthiest com-
munities In Europe. It lies 534 miles
south-southeast of Paris, with which
It Is connected by the Paris-Lyon-Medl-
terranee railway. The manufacturing
city of Lyons lies 219 miles to the north
upon the River Rhone, whose princi-
pal channel reaches the Mediterranean
sea, 25 miles west of Marseilles.
"While Marseilles possesses few ar-

REC08NIZE VALUE OF SALT.
•dentists Now Are Rraetlsally Unani-
mous In Th*lr Appredatlan of
tht Humble Mineral.
The preservative, the cleansing and
the aoothlng effects of salt have been
known for ages. To thla extent, and
with soma recognition of existing prac-
tices, the use of saline solutions In
British military hospitals, noted In n
coble despatch, la not new. The In-
teresting points ore In the evolution
of salt to the position of a anle heal-
ing agent, and In the method of ap-
plication by a constant stream which.
In a single flowing, washes the wound,
guards It from Infection ond con-
tributes healing power.
An ancient and common household
article thus supplants, after the Initial
disinfecting, the highly scientific,
antiseptic appliances of the day.
This elaboration of an old remedy
recalls to mind the medical stir which
followed In 1901 the publication from
the University of Chicago, by Dr.
Jacques Loeb and Prof. D. J. Llngte,
of the theory, that a aoldHop of one*-
don salt In the bloed, neutralized hy
calcium and possibly potassium salt
solutions, was the cause of the
'rhythmic heating of the heart. All
doctors had known of, saline; tnJwS
firms to stimulate' the heart. Those
.who hesitated,:over the bow. prepoep
tloa admitted the physiological Im-
portance of salt and Its ability, after
a hemorrhage, to supply the de-
ficiency in eireulatiao until new bloed
Is made.
Inland people ef Md esteemed
saline springs as gifts ef the gods.
Chips ef salt were anciently used as
money, and the mineral stood, as
many passages la the Bible testify,
for high religious symbolisms. The
sharing of salt-represented in other
days a sacred pledge of friendship.
A precious and essential quantity In
our daily living, though but casually
regarded on the grocer’s bill for sup-
plies.' salt mny yet be revealed In a
more Intimate relation to life itself
than daring scientists have guessed.

Wartime “Kid."
"Kids!” Another word consecrated
by usage and recognized by lexico-
graphers. The term embraces all the
lads and lassies, urchins, hobblede-
hoys, chits and little ones-, but some-
how it means more than all these
writes Maurice Donnay in Cartoons
magazine.
In 1870 I, too, was a kid. How did
I look upon the war? What memories
do I retain of it? I was a 9 year old,
and went to school at the Vanves
lyceum, which was then the “Lycee
du Prince Imperial.” It was In July,
and the war had Just been declared
As It happened, Father Michaut held
his class In history on this historic
day, and not because of this, but
simply because we had arrived at
Charles VII, he related to us the glo-
rious adventure of Joan of Arc.
Among us was one pupil who re-
mained listless. Questioned, he re-
fused to answer, and our venerable
professor was hurt. I still remember
his reproachful tones. ;
"No, I shall not pnnish you,” he
said. "One does not punish young
Frenchmen who are not interested In
Joan of Arc. Bather one pities
them.”
We didn’t understand very well why
Father Michaut had suddenly be-
come so grave and reproachful, bat
we felt that there was a depth of
meaning in his words. This meaning
we realized better later on.

This Is a •Mister1' Country.
Despite the abundance of “colonels”
who won their titular honors in the
auction room by the cut of their mus-
taches, America is essentially a “mis-
ter” country. Where in the United
States Is a newspaper that would go
to the extreme of the London Chroni-
cle, which says:
"If Dr. Woodrow Wilson is again re-
turned to the White House he will en-
joy the experience of the only other
successful Democratic candidate. Pres-
ident Grover. Cleveland. In Cleveland’s
ease, however. Brigadier General Ben-
jamin Harrison served between the
two terms ef office.”

It Is never safe to experiment with
foods upon a convalescent as “wbnt Is

fully with some people with tntestiuul
trouble when cream, top milk und
malted foods cunnot be tuken at all.
The physician should always be con-
sulted and his advice carefully fol-
lowed In regard to the proper feeding.
Such foods as delicately cookbd eggs,
kumiss, milk gruel, barley or rice flour
gruel (long and well cooked), or scald-
ed milk are often well borne by those
troubled with Inflammation of the di-
gestive tract
A colicky baby may often be re-
lieved from pain by giving a half of
a soda-mint tablet dissolved In a little
warm water. Lay a warm water bag
between your knees and turn the baby
stomach down over this; rub and pat
gently and the pain will disappear In a
few minutes.
As these are the trying weeks for
babies, they should have especial care,
keeping them cool and allowing them
to have an occasional cool drink. Cross,
fretful babies cannot tell you that they
are choking with thirst.

In various directions there are symp-
toms of a slowing down In the manu-
facturing end of the flbor covering In-
dustry, though reports from salesmen
on the road Indicate the retail trade Is
much more active. The trouble lie* in
the fact that many mills already have
exhausted their supplies and have
stopped their machinery for the sea-
son. This Is adding Impetus to ths
Jobbing trade and during the next few
months at least, many buyers who
never looked beyond the manufacturer
for their goods will be forced Into the
secondary market

of advances In price of goods avail-
able In July, the European war. the
forthcoming presidential campaign,
trade and crop conditions combined,
are creating a series of cross-currents
of extraordinary magnitude and man-

Though Increases In prices made by

that carpet wools will soar farther
