wash, not even their face q n d
hands. The smell OF their fu r
clothing and the secretiohs from
the skin causes a stink about
their persons. and especially in
their ingloos and tents, that il

Living in hnts of stone or ice
in winter, in sealskin tents in
summer, Eskinos never marry
in the. sense We use the word, but
mate like animals. Swapping of
mates for indefinite time is com.

from father to babe strips stark
naked before retiring.
Esquimos are all children, con.

Scurvy, so common and dead
ly among early Polar ex!'lorers,
is totally unknown among Ex-
quimos who eat raw meat. This
iodized raw food also explains
the absence of enlarged tonsil lis,
glands and goiter. Their perfect,
splendid teeth on d strong lower
jaws mark them completely car
nivorous. The exclusion of veg
etable food has shortened their
intestinps and indigestion is un-
known. One would suppose their
pure flesh diet would cause bill
iousness, ETC., but the large per-
centage OF oil in their food acts
as a gentle laxative aud protects
against all harm. They eat with
relish oil rotten blubber that
would stngger a buzzard.

with filth and yermin, is smooth
as satin and totally free of dis
