was the butt of much ridicule but he
has since dropped

peculiarities and
accepted conven

formerly opposed
by him A Texas
friend relates how
Bailey got his first
start in politics
There was a Dem

Salt tlie CIvillzer
The ute of salt as a necessary sup
plement to diet has had much influence
In shaping the civilization and explora
tion of the world It is most probable
that the oldest trade routes were cre
ated for the salt traffic as salt and
incense formed the chief necessaries
of the ancient days This was certain
ly the case with the caravan routes in
Libya and the Sahara while the mine3
of north India were the center of a
large trade before the time of Alexan
der
Another Interesting fact Is that salt
has played a considerable part in the
distribution of man When it became
absolutely necessary to him as it did
at an early stage of his development
he was forced to migrate to places
where It could be obtained This
brought him to the seashore where he
gained his Ideas of maritime commerce
Lastly the preservative effects of salt
on flesh food made long oceanic voy
ages possible and thus opened up the
world to commerce and civilization
