Fish, Seaweed Are Said To Be Good
 Diet for Indians

A diet of fish, seaWeed and wild fruit makes strong teeth for Alas ka natives, while the white mans diet brings early decay and ire quent toothaches, Dr. T. J. Pyle, director of dental work for the Bureau of Indian Affairs, told the Anchorage Times recently.
 Dr. Pyle has been in Alaska the past five years and has visit ed practically every small settle ment in the territory in caring for the teeth of natives.
 "Indians living in villages have much better teeth than do those living in towns and natives in this part of the country have bet ter teeth than those living in southeastern Alaska, as there they live almost entirely on white mans diet" he said. The main difficulty in doing dental work among the natives is get ting them to care properly for their teeth.
 "We might not be punctual in the care of our teeth though if it meant going outdoors when the temperatures were 50 and 60 de- grees below zero to get cup of water for brushing them," Dr. Pyle commented.
 In towns where school teachers cooperate in having the children brush their teeth at the school house, a marked improvement is visible.

SCIENCE DETERMINED DON'T
 NEED SOIL TO BE A FARMER.
 GROWS IN CHEMICAL WATER
Food Dissolved in Water

The nutrient elements which plants normally get from the soil are dissolved in the water. Bot ties containing a mixture of ten or more chemicals are placed in the tanks for slow dissemination.
 The nutrients, Dr. Gericke says are the same as are found in the soil, but the composition of the mixtures has not been revealed.
 Dr. Gericke has grown toma- toes yielding ripe fruit for eight to nine months of the year. The plants have grown 25 feet in len gth, with heavy trusses of fruit through their entire length. The local fruit markets, he says, have graded them as superior.
 Tomato Yield Heavy
 His tomatoes, Dr. Gericke says, have yielded 10 to IA pounds per square foot of tank surface. Trans lated into acreage figures, this would mean production of 200 to 300 tons an acre, whereas the nor nal yield is five tons.
 In his own greenhouse on the University of California campus, Dr. Gericke has grown beets, car rots, lettuce, beans, tobacco, po- tatoes and other crops-all with out benefit of soil.
 He also has produced gladioli and gardenias by the water growth method, and now is ex- perimenting with tropical fruit.
 Potatoes have been produced at rate of 3.4 pounds per sq. foot of surface, or roughly twen- ty times the normal rate. Tobac co, later. analysed and found of high quality, has shot up to

BERKELEY, Calif., August For seven years Dr. W.F.Gericke of the University of California has been demonstrating that you don't need a farm to be farmer.
 Using tanks of chemically treat ed water instead of soil, he has produced fruit and vegetable yields 10, 20 and even 50 times as great as those from ordinary truck gardening.
 Now his new plant growing process, which Dr. Gericke says will revolutionize agriculture, has passed the laboratory stage and is being launched on a commer- cial scale.
 He has installed his equipment in tomato greenhouses in Capi- tola and Montebello, Calif., and has arranged for nurserymen in other parts of the country to try it with varied crops.

 For his water gardens Dr. Ger icke uses tanks 10 feet long, 2h feet wide and eight inches deep. Over these he places a screen of ordinary rabbit wire" and cov- CTS these with excelsior, straw or coarse sawdust and shavings.
 This layer serves the double purpose of supporting the plants and helping maintain the tenn perature of the water at 70 to 85 degrees Fahrenheit.
 Seeds or shoots are placed on the excelsior, covered with an- other layer of the same material and left to sprout and Their roots go down into the water to draw not only moisture but nur- ishment.

POINT BARROW, Aug. 2l. - J.

 Correcting what was said to have been an erroneous imures sion, Dr. Henry Greist said that the natives at Point Barrow are not in want, but that the suffer ing is at Barter Island and ad- jacent coastal points where there are no edible reindeer left, no sealing, no caribou and little fish ing.
 Greist declared that Frank Daugherty, reindeer superintend ent, had caused the embarrass- ment by reporting that the ma lives would not proceed with the roundup because the Eskimos feared ambush from the Indians, who some time ago attacked a boy near the Endicott Noun tains, although Tom Brewer, who is now here after prolonged trip into the interior, reports that he has heard nothing of proving Indians since last winter.

Families Alaska
 Realize Value
 Canned Salmon

SEATTLE, Aug. 4. - Declaring that every family in Alaska has a vital interest in the future of the canned salmon industry in the Territory, E. A. Rasmussen, pres ident of the Bank of Alaska, in an interview today commended the steps the industry is taking to protect the quality of it's pro- duct and to establish a stable market based on increased con- sumption of canned salmon in the United States.
 '.If the canned salmon industry furnished nothing more than the tax revenue it now pays into the territorial treasury, it would still be of tremendous importance to the welfare of all Alaska" Ras- muSsen declared. Anyone inter- ested in education in Alaska real- izes that about 75 cents out of ev- cry dollar spent for this purpose in the incorporated towns comes from the territorial treasury, which derives about three-quar ters of its fund from taxes paid by the fishing industry. Thus the books, and so on, as well as salaries of teachers who educate children from the homes of mer- chants, miners, fishermen, profes sional men, bankers, or whatever the occupation the residents may be engaged in."

difference now between your

Stretching will pull your hips

All right, arms overhead! Pull

Here is an excellent stretching
exercise with which to test the
