Reindeer Meat Has
Fine Food Values
Many 3tudw* have been made of the
composition of di.Tereat sorts of meat,
af tjooliiog equalities, and of thorough
ness# of digestion, says an exchange.
Judging by available data, meat from
iitferent animals used as food is very
similar m its general composition.
Besides the considerable amount of
-vater present, meats contain protein or
nitrogenous material, fats in varying
amounts, minnte proportions of gly
eogpn or animal sugar, and some ash
constituent?. The percentage of fat
7aries very greatly vmh food and other
markers.
Some cut: are considered better a
;ored and some inoito tender than
othprs, but, generally speaking, meats
of d'ferent kinds and outs are very
similar in their fowl value and digesti
bility, meat protein, like other com
plete proteiD, being, used for the re
building and repair of body tissue, and
the, fat o! meat, like other fats, as bcdy
ue|. This applies in a general way to
game also.
So far a- can be >udged from avail
ablp information, reindeer meat rssen>
ble> mutton more nearly than it does
beef. The t'esh of game animals, gen
erally speaking, has a lower water- con
'jfint and a correspondingly greater per
centage of protein aud fat than the
lesji of domestic animals. Aside from
vb^t has been said of its food value,
•eipdeer, as well as game of all sorts,
s praised for its distinctive flavor.
To understand the place of meats, in
cluding game animals, end other foods
a the diet, one she-Id remember that
a (frder to be well balanced the diet

Cisband vitamin constituents (2) meat,

meal is well fitted t,o take its place
with other meats in Group 2.
Reindeer have been bred for food
purposes for centuries in Northern
Asia, which is a clear indication of
their fitness for food. The flavor is ex
cellent, the food value compares well
with other meats, and the meat is
wholesome and can be prepared for the
table in a variety of ways.

Charles D..Jones, Alaska Road Com
missioner for the Motile- district, ae-.
companies by George Waldheim, re
turned to Nome recently from a 1150
mile trip through the ''-'ukon country.
The purpose of the commissioner s trip
was to investigate conditions relative
to new and old trail, and the erection
of adequate shelter cabins through new
and old country.
Numerous Nomeites were met. and
visited, and every one exerted pressure
to have the travelers remain for a
longer period.
Joe Rlein and Mrs. Plein are at Rus
sian Mission. Mr:. Plein 13 teaching
school, while Joe is running a trap
line. Both old Nomeites seem to be
well contented.

Approaching the various villages
tho travelers wero in ariably ap
proached-by a lone native who immedi
ately asked the question, “You men
marshal?” Upon receiving the nega
tive reply the high sign was passed
and immediately the entire village
would turn out to offer its welcome,
which in all instance; was most cordial
and profuse. Seeing so few white trav
elers, both white aud native dwellers
used every allurement to have the
party prolong its visit. Tn explaining
the question as to their being marshals
the answer is that probably the natives
have their own “home fires burning”
and want to keep it “still.”

Volstead Law Hits Klondikers.
Washington. —The enforcement of
the Volstead law under the regulations
adopted hv tho Treasury Department,
in conformity to the Supreme Court
ruling, has brought the Klondike dis
trict of Yukon Territory within its
embraces, and as a result the British
government has appealed to the U. S.
Treasury Department for relief for the
British subjects of the Yukon metrop -
olis, who lind, under the new ruling,
every avenue of approach being barred
to liquor, as it must come through
American territory. Thus far Treas
ury Deoartment officials have found no
way to grant the relief requested.
A. M. Ogle. Dresident of the Na
Mortal Coal Association, said at a din
ner in Indianapolis
"Some men will only look at the coal
situation pessimistically. 't annoys
them to see anybody take a hopeful
view. They are like Judson McCarthy.
“JncsoD itai: a friend, one Andy Pin
kerton, who was always saying, ‘It
might havo been worse. The typhoon
in China, the last railroad wreck or
automobile accident was sure to bring
this optimistic phrase So Andy’s lips.
Jt annoyed Judsoa McCarthy horribly.
“Judsonone day visited the optimis
tic Andy in great distress.
“‘A-ndy, he said, ‘terrible news, ter
rible. When got home last evenin’ I
found Brown, the baker, kissin’ my
wife. I beat him up, you bet, and they
carried him off to Jefferson hospital,
where I understand he’s layin’ at
death’s door.’
“ ‘Weil, now, that’s too bad, too had,’
said Andy; ’but,’ he added, in his opti
mistic wav, ‘it might have been worse.’
“ ‘How worse, you old fool?’ snarled
Judson McCarthy furiously.
“ "Why,’ said Andy, ‘if it had been
evenin’ before last it wohld have been
me.’ ”
