Nothing VIII Shed Water
Like CheDed Sedlskin

The Eskimo's hands and feet receive great
care. The Eskimo women are credited with
making the only absolutely waterproof boot
in existence. Il is made Of sealskn, without
the fur, tanned" and kept plable by chewing
The parts Of the pattern are sewn together
with deer sinews, in lock stitch which no
other race in the world seems TO understand
Within this boot Of 'chewcd" sealskin is worn
a docrskin sock. with the hair next the skin.
Both sock and boot come Oft together, and
every night they are dried on a framework
rugged above the igloo oil lamp, which is kept
burning day and night for this drying purpose
and for occasional cooking and the perpetual
melting Of snow for drinking water.
And the first thing in the morning when the
dawn comes in through the eastward-lOoking
ice window in the igloo and the members Of
the family emerge from beneath the fur cover
ings Of their skin beds, the first duty Of the
women is to "chew the boots" Of the men.
Owing to the pure cold air which they
breathe and to the constant exercise which
teeth and gums and jaws get, the Eskimos
have very strong teeth. Such thing as
cavity or any form Of toothache is virtually
unknown among them.
The Eskimo can give civilization lessons in
diet, in spite Of being almost wholly dependent
upon wild animal life for food. Unless hard
pressed, they never eat their natural food "out
Of season" In fact, they live literally from
hand to mouth" and consequently the rule is
either fresh meat or fresh fish all the time.
Thus. they are safe in eating either in its raw
state, which circumstances compel them TO do
most Of the time.
Medical science is strong for the drinking Of
large quantities Of pure water to promote the
assimilation Of nutriment and 10 insure prompt
elimination Of body wastes. But most people
pay very little attention 10 what the doctors
say, and many confess that they have small
use for water except for the bath, anyway.
