COAL MINE DISASTER. j Explosion Entombs Twenty-seven or More Men in West Virginia Mine.. Charleston, W. Va., February 9. Twenty-seven men are still entombed in Farrell mines, near Oakhill, Fay? ette county, in the Loup Creek coal field, where an explosion occurred yes? terday afternoon. It is known that thirty men were in the mine and there may have been more, as work is done by contract and no rolls are kept. Three only escaped from the mine. A majority of the men are negroes and Hungarians. It is not believed that any of the entombed men, are alive as the ventilation fans were wrecked by the force of the explosion and the circulation of air through the mine stopped so that no one with any hope of living can venture in until the fans are repaired and set to workin gagain.

Tho Salt Eaters. I knew of a lovely young woman who was the greatest salt eater you ever heard of. She was a bright blonde, with an ivory white skin. All her food had to be triple salted. At thirty she dried up. At forty-five she died of consumption. Dr. Tracy asscr verates that only small amounts of salt are essential forj the well being of a man. Eunge says that a person using a mixed diet requires only from 15 to 30 grains daily. Most people consume excessive amounts, from 150 to 300 Trains. Professor Widal found that .vhen a patient who had nephritis -.inflammation of the kidneys) took t>0 grains of common salt daily for several days he increased in weight, due to dropsy. The dropsical effect was caused by the salt. Widal could make dropsy appear and disappear at will by increasing or withdrawing the use of salt. Dr. Tracy insists that we shall re? frain from too-strenuous life, avoid excesses in eating and drinking, be moderate in all things and particularly cut down our allowances of salt. "The i \ reason why a person who has neph? ritis should use little salt," he said, "is be-.-ause -the excessive use of it pro? duces dropsy and retards the activity of the sweat glands by increasing os? motic pressure of the blood." Thirty grains of salt a day will do for the av? erage person. Widal. who is recog? nized European authority, recom monds the following daily diet in kid? ney diseases: Twelve ouces of meat, 13-4 pounds of potatoes. 3 ounces of sugar, 2-5 ounces of butter, unsalted and 2 2-3 quarts of fruits.-Xew York Press. The Yellow Fever Germ Kas recently been discovered. It bears a close resemblance of the ma aria germ. To free the system from iisease germs, the most effective rem? edy is Dr. King's Xew Life Pills.
