For dog harness the Eskimo pattern

A boat is an important adjunct TO
every sledge expedition which hopes
to venture far from it's base Of oper-
alton. IL is matter OF necessity even
when following the new coast line, as
is shown by the mishap OF Myths
Erickson. for If he had had a boat he
would himself have returned TO tell
the story Of the Danish expedition to
east Greenland.
Need for a boat comes with the
changed conditions Of the advancing
season. Things must be carried for
several months for a chance use In the
last stages OF the return: but. since
food supplies are necessarily limited,
delay is fatal. Therefore when open
water prevents progress a boat be-
comes In the nature Of a life pre-
server.
Foolish indeed IS the explorer who
ignores this detail OF the problem.
Transport OF boat, however, offers
many serious objections. Napsen In
troduced the kayak. and most explor-
ers since have adopted the same de-
vice. The Eskimo canoe serves the
purpose very well. but 10 carry Il for
three months without hopeless destruc-
ton requires an amount OF energy
which stamps the polar v"r'-sre with

How to Wash Window.

Windows should never be washed
while the sun shines directly on them,
for this Is sure TO cause streaks to APP
pear on them. or course the glass
may be wiped dry as soon as it is
washed. but this is twice the work,
since one must rub until the glass Is
perfectly dry. This is not necessary
IL the sun is not shining on the win
dows. for IL does not add anything to
the appearance OF the windows when
finished If the glass is badly soiIed
and 1t is necessary to apply a good
deal Of water to remove the dust and
stains, it is better to wash with plenty
Of water and then let the glass dry
and then sponge the window of again.
This VIII remove all the streaks left
by the first washing. Should the glass
become too dry before you return to
finish the drying 1t may be sponged
over again with the sponge wrung dry
out of hot water. Always let the win
dow stand for a few minutes after
washing it before drying 1t and it viii
dry much easier and in but half the
time.

Depending on Eskimo Food.


In this respect as In others, I was
helped very much by the people who
were TO line up my forces. The Eski-
mo is ever hungry, but his taste Is
normal Things Of doubtful value in
nutrition form no part in his dietary.
Animal food. meat and fat, is entirely
satisfactory as n steady diet without
other adjuncts. His food requires nei-
ther salt nor sugar. nor is cooking a
matter OF necessity.
Quantity is important. but quality
applies only 20 the relative proportion
OF fat. With this key to the CASTRO
Monies OF our lockers. pemmican was
selected as the staple food, which also
served equally well for the dogs.
We had an ample supply OF penn
mican. made by Armu'r. OF pounded
dried beef. sprinkled with few
raisins. some currants and a small
quantity Of sugar. This mixture was
cemented together with heated beef
tallow and run into tin cans containing
six pounds each.
This combination was invented by
an American Indian. Il has been used
before as part OF the long list OF food
sturs in arctic products. but with Us
II was the whole bill OF fare when
away from game haunts.

carried, and these viii be indicated ia

At its meeting Wednesday night the
Council adopted resolutions providing
for the sale of the bonds to replace the
recently annulled issue. The signing of
this resolution was among the final Of
ficial acts of Mayor league az chief

paving work was brought about large

the Council resolutions awarding to the
lowest bidders the contracts for the
work included In the $4,000 bond issue.
Mr. league vetoed these resolutions be-
cause OF the law requiring the city to
have the money In hand to pay for
work before contracts for the work
