Reindeer Meat by Parcel Post

When Uncle samuel lntrOduced tNe pAF- eel post to Alaska he should have invented an automatic cold storage plant to accom- uany it if he did not want the recipients of the mail to think that murder had been done when they looked at their letters, says the Unal&klcet correspondent of the Nome Industrial Worker Citizens are taking ad vantage of the parcel post to have reindeer meat shipped, as it Is cheaper than paying freight; thaw will come some day and the blood oo2ing from the thawing meat may incarnadine the contents of the mail pouches hence the suggestion of an auto matic freezer

THE MAN..

THE MANTLE Day Book has
many bible students on its list of
correspondents and all vary in their
Interpretation of the word. Like the
several Christian denominations,
they have no foundation nor point to
start from, no rule, no law to OBJ
serve.
The bible cannot be understood IN
less a person knows and understands
phrenology, physiognomy and the an
atomy of man. Its students have no
knowledge of the subject it treats of
man. This country was dedicated
to man. Society has killed the man.
Ask your congressman about man.
Ask your preacher what he knows
about man. He will tell you it's all
mystery, and to justify himself he
will ask you if he is his brothers
keeper? Poor man! Like Rachel
bewailing the loss of her children,
weep for the fate of man, for he is
not.
We have college men (good talk
ers) preaching eugenics. They know
nothing of the cause of defective
characters in the human family.
They are quacks. They talk about
economics and hygenic laws. A heal

enough to eat and clothes to wear.
When these are furnished a child
thieves, drunkenness and murder
will cease to be factors to society.
To show bible students knowl-
edge of man it is necessary to know
the bible. st. Peter in the garden
took off the soldiers ear. That was
to show that Peter would take or
assume the character of the soldier.
st. Peters denial of his relationship
to Jesus was to show that when the
teaching of Jesus was an trial or at
stake Peter would deny Jesus and His
teachings. When Peter was crucifed
he requested to be nailed to the cross
with his head down to the ground,
claiming that he was not worthy to
die in the same position as Jesus. His
death was to show that the sacrifice
that Jesus offered on Calvary would
be perverted in the name of Peter.
