DAILY DIET HINTS

COMMON SALT VS SALT IN
FOODS
Common salt should be used
sparingly The elements of salt
chlorine and sodium are hignly
important in the economy of di-
gestion and cell nutrition but
the crude mineral salt serves
only as an irritant causing an
excessive flow of saliva which
of course heightens the capac-
ity for tasting whatever Is In the
mouth with It but such a means
of stimulating taste Is both un-
natural and unnecessary Prop-
erly selocted natural food with
a natural appetite are the best
conditions for the normal enjoy-
ment of food But common salt
must be eliminated through the
kidneys whose delicate organism
It Irritates as indicated by the
abnormal thirst following the
eating of much salt
Of course failure to drink
enough water might be worse
than eating much salt under cer-
tain circumstances But wheat
nuts lettuce cabbage uncooked
always milk figs contain am-
ple chlorine to form gastric fluid
and ample sodium and in natural
form

IMPROVEMENT DISTRICTS
Under Palestines present charter
improvement districts can be created
by petition from citizens fiom any
section or district of the city The
charter provides that a threefourths
majority of the property owners can
petition for certain kinds of construc-
tion of sidewalks and that in grant-
ing said petition a lien is created up-
on the properties abutting for the
construction of such sidewalks

where the property owners will not
pay the cost
Now who will start this work and
where will be the first improvement
district Let the good work pro
ceed
Texas railroads are hurry up re
pairs on their lolling stock getting
ready to move immense stocks
The trains of the State Railroad
are now running right into the city
but it will be some days befoie a reg-
ular train service Is established for
passengers and freight out of Pales-
tine
Rusk county is preparing to put in
an exhibit at the Dallas Fair Old
Anderson county should he doing
likewise Such opportunities to let
the world know what we have and
what we are doing here should not
be overlooked
That editor who wrote To under-
stand a woman marry her is evi-
dently a married man for it is only
through such association that a man
can even begin to understand a wo-
man And even then if she is a good
woman it would require a lifetime
to learn and appreciate her good
qualities
Just as soon as the city commis
sioners get some other things
straightened out they should give
their attention to the matter of com-
pelling some people to fix up their
sidewalks a bit In some places the
sidewalks or rather where the walks
should be are little more than ditch-
es or potato hills
The Denton Record and Chronicle
declares that Denton furnishes the
state more teachers than any town in
Texas Palestine has beeri doing
something along this line herself but
now an effort is being made to keep
the good teachers she creates at
home their salaries have been
raised Try this yourself Denton
The plan works all right
The growing crops of this imme
diate section are abundant proof that
this is a good country and a much
better country than some sections ot
the best state in the union Texas
Here the crops are growing luxu-
riantly and great yields of both corn
and cotton are promised In fact
the crops never looked better than
they now look Corn is practically
made and a bumper crop it is And
corn is an item just now The prices
are soaring
Palestines public schools should
be the pride of the city and they
should be most liberally supported
But they are not The tax voted for
their maintenance is only 25 cents on
the 100 valuation the same tax that
the smallest communities vote for
their schools It should be 50 cents
and thus the schools could be made
what they should be the foiemost
in the state in keeping with the
town in other ways Palestine is a
good town but is lacking in its school
interests

PARAGE OF VETERANS
Encampment of Confederate Veterans
Was Brought to aClose This
Afternoon With Big Parade
2rf
Herald Special
Memphis Tenn June 10 What is
univeisally conceded to have been
one of the most successful encamp-
ments ever held by the United Con-
federate Veterans was brought to a
close this afternoon with the annual
parade But one moro event remains
to complete the officialprogram the
rand ball at the Auditorium tonight
Tomorrow morning the veterans
their wives sons add daughters to
gether with the thousands of other
visitors who have contributed to the
success of the encampment will take
their leave of Memphis Hundreds of
the veterans are preparing to go di-
rect to Vickshurg for the unveiling
there tomorrow of the Stephen D
Lee monument
The parade today was the great
spectacular feature of the encamp
ment Through the gayly decorated
streets the old campaigners of Lee
and Jackson and Forrest and other
gieat leaders of the 60s marched to
the blare of bands and the pipe and
the roll and fife and drum At the
official icviewing stand where stood
Governor Patterson Mayor Malone
and many other notables the colors
were dipped and each divslon com-
mander joined the commanderinchief
in the stand
Along the line at every available
point viewing stands had been built
while the windows and even the
housetops were thronged witli specta-
tors Main street from Poplar to
Linden was literally packed with a-
mass of enthusiastic humanity
The day was a holiday in Memphis
City departments tfje banks and
many commercial institutions were
closed Long before noon persons be-
gan seeking the best places from
which to view the parade and when
the signal was given for the start of
the procession all of the downtown
streets were congested with people
Major General J H McDowell mar-
shal of the day and staff preceded
by mounted police to clear the way
led the parade Following him came
General Clement A Evans and staff
The commanderinchief was greeted
with enthusiastic cheer all along the
line Next came distinguished guests
in carriages and then the veterans
The latter were arranged according
to departments as follows
Virginia Forrest jChvalry Corps
i Tii i ii iiijii Ifii iaiB 1 11 n i i
Oklahoma Pacific division North-
west division and Texas The vet-
erans of the Forrest cayalry mounted
upon superb black hordes were loud-
ly applauded
Behind the old soldiers came the
members of the Sons of Confederate
Veterans Following the Sons were a
number of carriages bearing brigade
and camp sponsors maids of honor
and chaperons
That the weight of years was on
most of the veterans was apparent in
furrowed cheeks and snowy hair in
halting steps and rounded shoulders
but that the old pride of achievement
and duty well done remained was also
to he seen in the dogged persistence
with which they followed their old
flag and threw off their years to the
strains of Dixie
VERY WARM IN MEMPHIS
Veterans of the Civil War are Liter-
ally Sweltering
Memphis Tenn June 9 After one
of the hottest nights in years the sun
arose upon the second day of the
United Confederate Veterans reunion
today shining as fiercely ns it did
yesterday All night long thousands
walked the stieets or rode on the
cars seeking in vain cooling breezes
Thousands more unable to obtain ac
commodations slept upon the grass
in the parks or upon benches or
chairs and were hotter off even than
those who had moms in the hotels
The heat and excitement was hard-
est upon the old soldiers and to look
at them bent crippled and palsied
with age one can readily believe this
probably is the last big reunion of
the United Confederate Veterans
There weie many prostrations during
the night Ambulances were kept at
central and easily accessible points
doing splendid service to those who
fell fiom the heat
Eaily today thousands of fans wore
distributed free along the streets
Amusing features aie not lacking
A veteran fiom Georgia confused by
the mysteiies of the Pullman car
which he entered for the first time
threw his tiousers containing 05 in
money out of the window thinking
he was throwing them in another
loom Later fantastically clad he
was taken to a hotel and provided
with suitable clothing
The morning session or the eaily
part of it was devoted by the vet
erans and sons of veterans listening
lo repoits The design for the monu-
ment to the women of the Confed-
eracy was rejecjgil because the sculp
tor created a nHfif woman armed
WILL CLOSE ON FIFfH
The Fourth of July Coming on Sun-
day the Merchants Association
Will Close Stores on Fifth
The stores of Palestine will close
on the 5th of July it being Monday
as the Fourth falls on Sunday This
action was taken by the association
through deference to employes who
want a holiday All people should be
governed accordingly So do not for
get that Monday July 5 will be ob-
served in Palestine as a general holi
day
belted and waving a flag It was
unanimously egreed that this in no
sense is a fitting memorial to the
gentle tender and devoted women of
the south
It was not until the veterans had
reached that point on the program
where they were to select the next
place for the reunion that signs of
real interest began to be manifested
Houston Mobile Nashville and Chat
tanooga were contenders and each of
these cities had a real live delegation
after the prize Mobile was chosen
on the first ballot
Then followed memorial services in
honor of Jefferson Davis These con
sisted principally of reading scrip-
tures prayers and eulogistic ad-
dresses
The splendid Confederate choir
composed of one hundred beautiful
southern girls attired in the Confed-
erate uniform and led by Mrs Ed-
wards of Norfolk Va furnished the
music The services closed with a
rendition of Nearer My God to
Thee by the choir and an invocation
by Dr H M Long of Memphis

department of health is sending to
the various cities that have interest
ed themselves in the suppression of
the house fly newspaper cuts show-

screen to keep them out of doors
The matter of screening is impor-
tant in the campaign against these
common pests and if the screen
should be too large little good can be
accomplished The Interstices of the

prevent the entrance of the insects
