LYLE A. DICKEY

         The salt was collected in the past
            by the sea and in the salted lakes.
            In the XIe century, the first
            salterns was creating.
            In the XIVe century,  was creating
            the gabelle (salt tax).
 

            Even if the gabelle (salt tax) has
            changed her name, after the
           French´s Revolution,
           she was definitively abolished only
           in 1946 (in France)!

           The salt has many uses well-known,
           but also less-known as:
           the manufacture of many products as
           the plastic, the chloride bleach,
           the pulp, and some fuels for
           the rockets.
