URGES USE OF SEAL MEAT

The movement for good roads and
for use Of tractors has even reached
the desolate Prybiloff islands in
Boring sea, where the government
employs natives in killing seals. One
measure OF conservation is to employ
the natives in gathering driftwood
on the beach for use as fuel, and from
December, 1915, to the summer Of
1917 $40 cords were collected, but
some part Of the islands were mac
cessible for lack Of transportation.
Secretary Redfeld proposes to build
roads and import tractors which will
haul wood across the islands.
But he would 90 farther and rival

Of the seal except the squeal. He

SEA OTTER QUEER SWIMMER
Animals Fsvorite Position Is on Its
5aek-How One Threw Scare"
Into Fisherman.

Some Of the habits Of the sea otter
ere very interesting. For example,
an otter always swims on his back,
his tail serving as a rudder and his
head slightly raised so that by look
ing over his shoulder he can shape
his course. When about to dive, how
ever, he turns on his stomach, re-
naming in that position while un-
der water, but changing again on
coming to the top. Swimming a few
feet below the surface, an otter very
much resembles a sailor in his oil
skins. An amusing story is told Of a
tourist fisherman who, seeing one Of
these animals swimming in this
manner, hurried ashore and related
a wonderful tale about having seen
a sailor man, apparently drowned,
yet swimming with all the vigor Of
life six or seven feet under water !;
and who, when he, thinking the man
might be alive, rowed to his assist
ance, went down and stayed down.
The fisherman would not believe it
when told that it was probably a sea
otter, and he returned Immediately
to his Eastern home convinced he
had received a supernatural warning
Of some dire calamity about to hap
pen.-St. Nicholas.

People HsbltusIIy Afraid to Meet Q
Situation Invariably Pay High
Price for vscIfistion.

A writer in the American Maya
zine says:
tom Mason wrote a remarkable
little article in a New York newspa-
per q year or more ago in which he
made the point that human beings
leo many Of them) just will not face
things. They will duck and dodge
and squirm away from an important
situation rather than step right up
and meet il. OF course later they
have to pay an enormous price for
their 'ducking' and lodging and
squirming.
ain matters Of health this is ever
lastingly true. Look at the men past
forty you know who try to smoke
and eat and sit up nights as IL they
we're in the early twenties. They
make themselves uncomfortable and
say that they don't feel just right
But they won't face things-they
won't face the fact that il they want
10 feel well and enjoy life they must
revise their ways Of living and ad-
Just themselves to changed condi-
ions.
This willingness to face things
'omes pretty near being what marks
continuously successful man. II is
what marks a wise man in
questions pertaining to health. There
