SALT NEEDED IN SUMMER
The danger of heat prostration can be lessen
ed by the individual who looks after his system’s
salt supply, according to the U. S. Public Health
Service.
Prescribing liberal does of salt, the experts
say that if salt lost in perspiration is not re
placed, and in adequate amounts, the sweat
glands of the body close up and heat prostration
results.
Some of the country’s major industries, where
men work in excessive heat, have cut the num
ber of prostrations by ninety per cent by pro
viding salt tablets at every drinking place.
So there you are. If the weather is hot - just
get a salt block, lick it as few times a day, per
spire freely, and you won’t find yourself lying
on your back, a victim of heat prostration. Don’t
say we didn’t warn you!
MEMORIAL DAY
When the commander-in-chief of the Grand
Army of the Republic, General John A. Logan,
issued the order designating May 30th, 1868,
as a day for decorating the graves of the men
who fell in the War Between the States, he ex
pressed the hope that it would be observed
“from year to year while a survivor of the war
remains to honor the memory of the departed.”
The custom of thus pacing homage to the war
dead, which had originated in the South and
represented at that time only spontaneous local
activity on the part of a relatively few women
and children, thus came into being. The appeal
of such an annual commemoration to large num
bers of people was soon demonstrated through
out the reunited Republic.
By 1900, President William McKinley, him
self a Union veteran, declared, “The army of
Grant and the Army of Lee are together. They
are one now in faith, in hope, in fraternity, in
purpose and in an invicible patriotism.”
Memorial Day, observed annually since that
time, reminds us that human freedom was
bought at a great price and that anything we
would have here in this country must be ob
tained and preserved by hard work and conse
crated effort.
Since “The noblest memorial to a hero is not
reverence for his dead bones, but the reproduc
tion of his heroism,” Memorial Day should not
only be a day of remembrance but also a day
of consecration for the present and future to
the ideals which have made our nation great.
It should be a time of renewal of our faith in
God and His gracious Providence, remember
ing that we are not creatures of chance nor blind
circumstances, but that we have been led and
guided by the hand of God.
Let us revently thank God this Memorial Day
for the brave men, and women, who have given
thei£ lives that this land might remain free, for
those who are serving in the armed forces to
day to protect our nation, and for a fture which
we trust in His wise and gracious hands.
