EAT QUEER THINGS IN PINCH
Find Satisfaction in Stew Made OF
Vest, shoeIaces and Sledse


There is naturally much talk in
war time of rations and food supply,
and the possibility or probability of
starving out one or other of the bel
ligerents. But it is amazing what peo-
pie will eat at pinch.
A recent arctic explorer seriously
advised the wearing of skin clothing
in preference to woolen, simply and
solely because, if the worst came to
the worst. ones outfit could be stewed
for a meal, or at any rate given to the
dogs!
Well, when a man finds enjoyment
and a sort of inward satisfaction in a
stew made of his vest, his shoelaces,
and his sledge gear, he must be pref
ty 'peckish," and when he gets back
to civilization he will make a model
husband, never likely to turn up his
nose at cold mutton on washing days.
The bishop of Yukon thinks moth
ing of eating his boots. He had prob
ably declared he was ready for that
operation many a time when he was
boy, but he has actually done it
since he came to mans estate-in his
case, the great gold field of arctic
Alaska.
