CHAPTER XIII

To their surprise, when they went
to the gill-nets in the morning, in
addition to the small river trout
there were big, silver-sided sea
trout and, in places, holes marked
the spots where large fish had torn
their way through the twine meshes.
The salmon are herel" shouted
Alan to McCord.
While John and Alan, assisted by
Heather, worked a gravel bar with
sluice and shovels, the two Indians
speared sea salmon in the rapids
downstream, using the triple
pronged Eskimo spear heads lashed
to spruce shafts Alan had brought
from the East Coast That night
the moss smoke fires burned be-
meath the fish racks. Then, while
the run continued, the camp worked
from daylight until deep twilight
spearing, splitting the great fish
which ran to twenty pounds in
weight, and hanging them up to
smoke. When the first run passed,
Napayo was sent across the barrens
to the Koksoak to learn, if posi-
BILE, the whereabouts of Mcqueen S
party and to look for signs of Mas
kapi.
Days later lone figure bent dou-
BILE under his back load, signaled
from the opposite shore. 1t was Ma
payo, with the skins Of three deer
and what meat he could carry
across country.
Il went as far as the gorge Of the
fight" he told them. There were
no signs of the white men on the
river. But l saw smoke signals on
the hills far away south. l shot
these deer this morning near here. "
''Is it the migration? Has it start
ed south?" demanded Alan.
The Indian sorrowfully shook his
dark head. Nowhere on the Big
River did l see deer. These we're
all 1 saw, these and two that got
away"
1t was late in August and the
chances of obtaining deer skins for
necessary clothing were growing
less and less. The three skins Ma
payo brought in were barely suffi-
cient to furnish rawhide thongs for
snowshoes, dog harness, and hide
for the moccasins the men needed

HOUSEHOLD
QUESTIONS

Bones for SOup.-When buying
bone roasts be sure the butcher
sends you the bones even if they
have to be removed. The bones
can be used for making soups
and stock for stews.
Sagging Chair Seats.-To tight
en- the cane on cane-bottomed
chairs, brush to remove all dust,
then wash with salt water and
place in the open air to dry.
COlOred Soap Bubbles.-A drop
of prepared vegetable tinting add
ed to the water used for making
soap bubbles will give them diff
ferent color and thus delight the
children.
When Cords Wear Out.-Worn
extension cords on lamps or other
electrical fixtures should be re-
placed promptly. The cost is
small compared to burned down
house or a severe shock. When
the wires bend too easily where
they enter the connections or
when the outside silk covering
wears out, it is time to buy new
cords.

Find The Causes

When a child chronically lacks
interest in food, the mother should
set about Systematically to learn
the reasons why. Possibly the CO.
operation of your physician will
be required, for sometimes OBJ
scure physical causes may be re-
sponsible, such as faulty elimina-
ton, diseased tonsils or teeth or
some other focal infection. On the
other hand, it frequently occurs
that a changed attitude on the
part of the mother in presenting
food is all that is necessary to
alter completely a child's attitude
in regard to his meals.
1t is interesting to note, how
ever, that in studying a large
group of children with poor appe-
tites, one investigator found that
80 per cent of the children were
more than average in height and
narrow in body build.

of Lake Superior by way of Hud-
sons bay and by exploring rivers
that open into this body from the
south, Fraser believes.
At KenSington, Mimi, about ITS
miles southwest of Duluth, a we'll
preserved renic inscription has been
discovered. This stone is dated 1862
and records the fate of a section
of Morse party at the hands of
Indians. Viking axes and hatchets
also have come to light in this
neighborhood, Fraser adds.
He regards, however, as of the
greatest importance of all the dis
covery less than two years ago of
Vikings grave north of Lake Su-
perior. The finds, which included
shield, an AK and a sword of the
Eleventh century type, are now in
the Royal Ontario museum in To-
ronto.

Vikings Arrived Via the Great Lakes;
Through Hudson's Bay, Scientist Believes

Ancient Morse explorers, perhaps
the first white men to reach Ameri-
ca, entered by way of Lake Su-
perior and not by landing on the
New England coast, as long be-
lieved, according to Alexander D.
Fraser, associate professor of archie
ology at the University of Virginia.
In an article on The Norsemen
in Canada" Fraser points out that
no authentic traces of the Morse
men have been found in either New
England or Nova Scotia.
He contends, however, that there
is nothing to show that these Morse
explorers, who, he believes, reached
the shores of the new world five CEN
turies before Columbus, ever pene-
trated much south of Newfoundland.
On the other hand, undoubted evil
dence of Morse exploration recently
has been found in the vicinity of
Lake Superior.
The Virginia archeologiSt has
pointed out that it has long been
known from Morse literature of Ice
land and Greenland that the Vik-
ings reached the shores of North
America in the Tenth century, ex-
plored territories known to them as
Vinland and Markland, perhaps
founded colonies, and maintained
contact with the continent for sew
eral centuries.

Problem of Anorexia

All normal children will, at
times, exhibit a lack of appetite.
We are not concerned here with
occasions when a child who usu-
ally eats we'll feels no desire for
food. Such lack of appetite may
mean the beginning of cold or
some other illness and should be
carefully investigated. Unfortu-
nately, however, many mothers
of young children are faced with
a chronic lack of appetite in their
children-a condition that physi-
clans describe as anorexia. In or
der to correct this condition, it is
necessary to understand its
causes and to use wisdom in help
ing to remove them.

those rapids. 1t would break their

"AIl right. why not wait until
later, then, when the river ice is
solid most of the Way?"
1T all depends on the deer, John.
Dried deer meat or pemmican is
lighter than fish. If we get the deer
we can make it; if we don't, what
good will the gold do us, without
snowshoes or clothing?"
AS they started for their tents,
Heather drew Alan one side.

terrible dream, Alan. / haven't
shaken it off yet.
What was it?" She seemed very
warm and human as she stood there
beside him, but he fought off the
desire to touch her. to tell her how
he loved her.
II dreamed that you and Dad
were dead-all of you, and l was
here, alone, by this terrible river
with bags of gold everywhere-rows
and rows of bags of gold. You'd
all been killed, Alan. by the Indians
or Mcqueen, and had left me alone
with this gold. Oh, I'm so glad
you came back, Alan, SO glad!"
And, shivering as if suddenly cold,
she left him with a low goodnight
and went to her tent.

WHAT to EAT and WHY

with the young, finicky eater who
eats sparingly and whose dislikes
usually far outnumber his likes.
Such a child must be encouraged
tactfully to eat a wide variety Of
foods, but mothers must not be
over-solicitous, nor must they be-
come obviously angry or irritated
when the child refuses food.
Scolding, punishment and threats
of punishment should be avoided,
as they defeat their purpose. Re-
member, too, that precept is a
powerful teacher, and that
child's dislike for certain foods
may have been instilled by a
none-too-guardedly expressed dis
like of similar food on the part
of an adult.

his wounds.

While Alan carefully examined
the slash in the thick ruff of the
dogs throat, the husky lifted his
crimsoned nose in the quavering

of his alteration.

Naskapi dogs have fear of them.
These dogs are from the north
coast, also. They have the big

"Yes, Napayo and-to love-" add
ed Alan, his hand resting on Shots
slate-gray head.
The Naskapi looked puzzled. Then
he nodded These dogs love you
because you are kind to them" he
said. You never strike them with
a club. You play with them, much.
The Naskapi beats his dogs. He
does not love them as you do"
Over an aluminium plate heaped

at the heap of dull yellow pellets,

Developing the RIGHT Attitude

Strange as it may seem, such
difficulties often arise because a
mother fails to give the necessary
consideration to developing in the
young child a proper attitude to-
ward food. Some children need
to be taught that they must eat
enough food for their body re-
quirements. 1t is part of the
training they should have in early
childhood, so that they develop a
willingness to eat what is put be-
fore them, to try new foods when
offered, and to become increas-
ingly independent in making a
wise selection at mealtimes.
If child has been properly con-
ditiOned in these respects from his
earliest years, mothers will sell
dom find themselves faced with a
"child who will not eat"

Care of Cow a Pleasure

For one who likes animals, there is
a certain amount Of pleasure in
taking care of a COW. Cows are
not supposed to be as intelligent as
horses or dogs. but they are intelli-
gent and respond to good care and
treatment. The COW has been right
ly called the foster mother of the
human race" and like all good
mothers, she is a hard-working
mother and forever on the Job.
The Coolidge examiner., 1938-12-08
Some HELPFUL Hints

1t may be necessary for the en-
tire family to live more quietly,
in order to give the finicky eater
a chance to be quiet and relaxed.
There must be regularity of meals
and mealtimes must be peaceful.
Keep the table conversation gen.
eral and impersonal in character
before older children. See to it
that younger ones eat by them
selves.
Often short rest before meals
will help a child to become re-
laxed completely. And frequent
ly, a new method of presenting
foods will result in a changed at
titude on the part of the child.
Foods for young children should
not be seasoned too highly. In
general, condiments should be
avoided. Strong-favored vegeta-
bles, as rule, are not we'll liked,
and if introduced in the young
child's diet should be combined
with some familiar, and mild-tast-
ing food. In cooking vegetables,
keep the pieces large enough so
that the child can identify what he
is eating. Include crisp food in
each meal.
Finally, remember that a
child's eating habits cannot be
changed overnight. Changes
should be introduced gradually, so
that he is scarcely aware of what
is going on.

Faulty Diet May Destroy Appetite

Frequently, a child's lack of in
terest in food may be traced di-
rectly to poor choice among the
foods presented to him. 1t has
been repeatedly demonstrated, for
example, that when the diet lacks
vitamin B., appetite decreases, so
that there is less desire for food of
any kind. Then, too, when a
childs diet contains too much fat,
digestion may be delayed and this
in turn may interfere with the ap-
petite for the next meal. While
some children thrive better with
a between-meal feeding, in others
The Coolidge examiner., 1938-12-08
Fatigue a Factor

Occasionally, a child does not
eat well merely because he is too
tired. Even though he obtains ade-
quate sleep at night, too much or
too prolonged exercise or excite
ment may result in fatigue during
the day. If a child spends too
much time with adults, overstim-
ulation may be the result. And
in the case of older children, their
school work may be troubling
them.
Another frequent cause of lag
ging appetite is the constant nerv-
Gus tension to be observed in
some households. If a child is al
lowed to become unhappy, angry,
or worried over some uncomplet-
ed school assignment, it may in
terfere seriously with his appe-
tite and consequently with his nu-
triton. With younger children,
the fact that they are able to at
tract favorable attention from
adults by refusing to eat often
stimulates them to repeat their
refusal as long as mother shows
concern over their antics.
