Tho Tennessee centennial tnnn a agoment set apart Thursday October 28th,as Presbyterian da} which was a grateful tribute to religious body which has played conspicuous part in shaping th early affairs of this country. ^ A writer in the Nashville Aniei icun, commenting upon the influ ence of the Presbyterian churcl upon the early life of this conn try, makes the following observa tion: The Presbyterian in colonia days contained a large elemen of Scotch-Irish, who were eithe banished from their homes or be came voluntary exiles to escap intolerable oppressions. The; brought with them hatred o despotism and unquenchabl thirsffor liberty. It is not sur prising, therefore, that as Ban croft says, "the first voice pub licly raised in America todissolv all connection with Great Britaii came from the Scotch-Irish Tree byterians." The first body to de clare for open resistance was th Presbyterian synod of l'hiladel ^ phia, and the first declaration o Independence was that put fort by the l'resbyterians of Mecklec burg county, N. O. Ilivtng holf od to precipitate the conflict, the helped to fight it out. In the hal \ tie of the Cowpens General Mot gan. who commanded, and Genpt al Bickens, who mado al! arrange moms ior name, were rresnytt rian elders, "and nearly all nnde their command,'' says a trustwoi thy writer,''were Presbyterians. In the battle of Kings inoun tain Co'oiuds Campbell , .?'ii liatns, Cleveland, Shelby, Seviei Hamilton and Major loin r all Pre hvterian elder.-', and th bodies of tlioir troops wer col lflr.tflil lrnm I 'rnali v t?>r i u n ontt'n mentH." Those two battles wer of no mean importance, hecaus they marked the turn of the till in war. It would out:tie the Pres byterians to some recognition o an occasion like this to mentio the one fact that "< )ld Hickory ended his ^roat career as an ehle in the Presbyterian church. Hi was a typical Scotch-Irishman well fitted when once turned ii ^ the rifiht direction to lllustrat the porseverence of the saintr Just after his death two of hi friends met on the streets of Nei York City. One mentioned th< gad event to the other, nnd askm whether hopupposed Jackson ha< y gone to heaven. "Set it down1 was the reply, "that if he aaic he was going to Heaven he ha gone there." iUso of Salt in Food. "Are we eating too much salt?'' 3 | is the question pronounced by 1| the A'ew York Journal of Hygiene, I in a discussion of what it calls I "the salt habit," or the excessive | use of salt in food. Some salt is ' necessary in food, perhaps, but * many persons take too much, and c upon articles on which it is un- ^ * necessary. They want their meat, v lish, potatoes, melons, butter, tomatoes, turnips, bread, etc., * < 1 positively salt. They hold that c II ? ? ("brings out th** flavor." and con ! * . % ^ a | .sitier it in the samo class with suj gar ah a sweetener. The Journal 1 I ' t j argues that as a result the skin 1 -lit h and kidneys are excessively taxed .? to get rid ol the salt, and hothj * are injured by it. Few neonlel1 ' [ have healthy skins, and it is he- j ^ 1 ',. . . ?i!i g i Iieveu that many cases ol do- ' ;.j rangement ot the kidneys are due ' a to the salt habit. There are a v 2 reaction against it in progress. ? lint little salt, is required by the c human body, and those who know ^ this are disposed to discard the ? voluntary use of it altogether. 1 Our hygienic exports have ar- ? gued many people out of the eat- T ' ing of acid or sub-acid fruit. They k ,. I have ingeniously assailed bread t o eating. The vegetarian long ago 1 condemned a flesh diet. It should < - not specially surprise us that the 'J - onslaught is now made on salt. <1 h To be quite fair, however, it must 1 ho stated that the Journal of Ily- J giene does not prohibit salt for t j human consumption, batadmon- 1 ' ishes against excessive use. It is J perhaps correct in that modifica d tion. The excessive use of any- * 0 thing, no mntter how wholesome, t y is dangerous Our own opinion ? f is, however,that a majority of poo- 5 o pie uso too little ealt instead of 1 - too much. A judicious use of it i- will preserve health, and we know i persons who have cured them- n 0 selves of dj'spopsin. neuralgia, 1 1 etc., by partaking of salt, pay * take a half teuspoonful dissolved * in a tumberful of hot water be- , e 1 i fore breakfast. Persons who have, l- \ f by this simple process, broken up ? I, painful ailments, are disposed to ^ i_ regard salt as the true natural t i- remedy for congestion and dis- t y eases following from it. Some ( > people insist that they cannot i h '* take tho lose and hold it 011 an 1 '* empty stomach. Alas, for such ' '"I unlucky brethern, with such jc weak stomachs, r ' !
