A few Of these bears were at one time
seen near the seal islands, being adrift
upon a huge Ice foe. On st. Matthew
island the bears have lairs and dens
among the rock glens that abound
upon the island. They feed almost
entirely upon seals, walruses and dead
drift whales, and, though dIsdaIning

In summer the hairy coat Of the
polar bear turns to dingy yellow.

Bishop o.iIor, Tennessee:

Many people thought Statewide
prohibition to be the ideal remedy.
Instead Of calling to their aid SONS
experts on the subject and having
laws framed that could be enforced
they forced through the legislature a
measure that has lead to civic dessi,-
eracy. 1t 10 fmpracticable and it, VIC
lation is productive of hidden and
shameful evils. You cannot pass laws
that way. The reformers should
