THE POOREST OF ALL PEOPLE
Natives of the Arctics Who Have
Enough to Eat Are Considered
Very Fortunate.

l have not known so poor 6. winter
during the whole of my stay among
the Eskimos (now % years., says a
writer in the Christian Herald. While
the coast Is ice-bound, the days short,
snowstorms frequent and the Their
mometer often 40 degrees below zero,
it is not possible for the Eskimo to
do much to secure living. One way
for the women to produce something
was to cut holes through the sea ice,
which reaches a thickness of six feet,
and there they stood fishing for rock
cod, most days securing only between
five and ten fish. The mission en-
deavored to help, but poverty was SO
general that all resources were taxed
to the utmost.
An outsider has no idea of what
poverty among the Eskimos means
At the best of times the wants of an
Eskimo are few AMI his food con-
sists of the coarsest of substances.
Seal walrus and whale meat form a.
large part of their diet, and the blub-
Der of these animals serves in the
place of pork or butter.
In China the famished inhabitants
subsisted On roots or some inferior
vegetation, but here the vegetable
kingdom has nothing to offer. The
earth is frozen and deeply covered
with snow and ice; the birds have
gone south and one might walk for
miles without seeing a living crea-
ture. At the same time it is OF in
terest to know even these primitive
people have for ages found kind of
substitute for food somewhere. Along
the beach, which is known to have
plenty of seaweed, holes are cut
through the thick ice and the sea-
weed and mussels pulled up through
the holes, and it is on record that the
Eskimos have sustained life on this,
one might say, refuse Of the sea, dur
ing the long winter months.
The Eskimo has no word for God"
in his language, and it has been fifty
marked that the very austere aspect
of life may have helped to exclude
the conception of superhuman
benevolent Being from the beliefs and
superstitions of these people of the
Arctic.

ALREADY the Postmaster-Genera is
figuring on reducing the parcel post
rates and raising the limit of weight
and size of packages. Mr.. Hitchcock
has become an enthusiast for the par
GELS post and is almost prepared to
take over the express companies with
out any preliminary formalities. The
law affords the widest scope for dis
erection by the Postmaster-Gen eral.
He may raise or lower the rates, change
the regulations, or do anything else
necessary to make the scheme work
right, subject only to the approval of
the Interstate Commerce Commission
Mr.. Hitchcock has called for a state
'ment based on the first half months
working of the parcel post law and
expects to revise the rates and
weights almost Immediately. He is
already convinced that the rates are
too high.

Apples cut in irregular pieces will
cook more quickly in pie than if
sliced for they do not pack closely
as slices do. and so the hot air comes
more easily in contact with the fruit,
and cooking is facilitated.
When trying fish, dip it in milk in
stead of egg before rolling in bread
crumbs. This is more economical and
tastes better.

TOO FEW SPECIAL SUNDAYS
Move to Secure Cooperation OF
Churches In Effort at Social
Betterment.

In a report on social Sundays sug-
gested to be observed by all OF the
churches in the United States, the spe-
cial committee which Investigated the
subject says:
''One OF the results Of this investiga-
ton was the revelation that the num-
Der of special social Sundays now be-
ing observed on national scale Is
much smaller than has been generally
supposed. Only six special Sundays
not specially designated by the cal
endar are at present observed on any
considerable scale throughout the
country. These are Child Labor Sun
day. Mothers day. Peace Sunday, La
Dor Sunday. Prison Sunday and Tu-
berculosis day. The other special
Sundays in the calendar given above
are all fixed by certain national or re-
ligious holidays. such as Washlngton's
birthday. Memorial day or Christmas"
The report of the committee will be
submitted to the Federal Council OF
Churches, representing most OF the
Protestant denominations. to the Ro-
man Catholic church authorities, to
the Jewish church authorities and to
all other church organizations which
can be interested in this movement
The aim OF the report is to secure the
cooperation OF all the churches OF
the country in movements for social
betterment.

FEEDING THE REGNANT EVE
Should Be Supplied With Some Kind
Of Supplementary Feed to Main
tain Suitable Condition.

It Is very important In the growth
and development OF the unborn lamb
that the pregnant eve be maintained
in healthy. flesh-forming condition
during the winter months.
AS soon as the cold weather comes
and renders succulent crops OF forage
and pasture grass less plentiful the
ewes should be supplied with some
kind Of supplementary feed in order
that they may maintain a suitable
flesh condition.
The ewes should be allowed to run
outside and obtain plenty OF fresh
air and exercise until early in the
winter. providing they are fed little
clover. hay and grain food. In this
way the change from grain feed to
dry feed Is modified by the succulent
feed obtained about the farm during
the fall.
This is one OF the most important
points to be observed in changing
pregnant ewes from the pasture ia
dry winter ration.
A roughage ration of any kind Is not
sufficient to maintain the ewes in
good flesh condition and properly
nourish the growing fetus. For winter
rations many good feeders prefer to
feed ewes grain ration made up
largely OF such homegrown feeds as
oats. barley. peas and limited
amount Of corn. Corn should be fed
with Judgment, as it has tendency
to make a surplus fat which is more
injurious than beneficial to pregnant
ewes For roughage ration clover
hay and corn silage will give the
ewes diet that will stimulate their
appetites and promote their health.

located beneath the shade OF some
large tree that the beaming rays OF
the sun may not beat on It in the
hot summer time. Here is a good
plan for building an Ice house which
has been used by a number OF farmers;
Make an excavation three feet deep
and IL by II feet Wall this up
with brick or cement blocks. letting
the wall extend two feet above the
ground. Dig trench and put in a
tile drain. Now put up the house,
using two by ten studding ten feet
long for the walls. Place the stud
ding two feet apart, Then board up
the building inside and out A cheap

wide will be left in the walls, and this
should be filed with sawdust. Straw.

the roof high enough SO that he will
not strike his head when putting In
the ice. The door to ice house should
be two feet eight inches by six feet
eight inches or close to these dimen-s
sion. Cleats should be nailed to the
inner and outer edges Of the door fac
ing to hold ends OF boards that may
be slipped in and sawdust tamped
down between them. Put coarse
cinders over the floor Of ice house
and cover them with eight inches Of
sawdust. Now the house is ready for

and be certain to secure the purest
ice possible. At the Ice house the
cakes can be sided down long
board into their places. believe
it is best to set the ice up edgewise,
says writer in the Iowa Homestead.
The cakes are easier to get out and
they retain their usual thickness Pack
the ice to within five inches OF the
wall all around the building and pile
ten or twelve feet high. The ice
should be packed as solidly as pos
sible. therefore all cracks should be
filled with small chunks and particles
of ice. Put eight inches OF sawdust
over top Of the ice, packing it down
in the five-inch space all around the
house.
