  "My old Aunt Samanthy used to say-- and my, what a cook she was!-- she used to say that getting married without love was like trying to cook without salt.
  "If you forits that little pinch of salt afore you boils your 'taters," she'd say, "they never do taste right--no matter how much you salts 'em arterwards."
  I can see Aunt Samanthy still, and hear her laying down the law; and I recognize even yet the good sound sense in what she said. For how essential salt is, and how necessary that it be pure, and how desirable that it be of the right grain, and properly used!
  So it gives me pleasure to jot down here some things I know about salt and its uses; all of which I dedicate to the ladies of the land, who, perhaps, never had an Aunt Samanthy. ~Martha Elizabeth Stuart.
