When pa was a boy be tells us
about going bar e-foot, and chasing thru
tbe woods in imitation of tbe red men.
His folks never worried about the
evils of an improper diet, the effects of
acids on the teeth, the ventilation of a
room, other than keeping out night air,
or any other of the hundred and one
things we consider proper. In consequ
ence they lived and flourished for quite
a time in this ’’vale of tears".
Today we must know if so and so is
proper, and then if we have done it and
another athority says’ 'it’s not correct,'
we get all set to pine away and die.
Pa is as flourishing as of yore, he
eats what he wants when he wants it,
and sees no difference in the food if it
happens to be shy a calorie or vitamine*
Regardless of the fact that he doesn’t
let a toothbrush haunt his dreamr, pa’s
teeth seem to bs in fair working order.
For all of his eighty years, he can eat
a ’’cold storage" steak with the best of
us.
Now what's the matter? Are man's
complexes, and other psychological re**
actions, combined with to much diet,
and not enough to eat, sacrificing his
physical health for his mental well be
ing. The average person pays too much
attention to the training of the mind,
forgetting that a healthy body means
a keen, alert mind. Page 4 Col 2

No Need To Eat Yeast
In answer to the question,
”Do people need to eat yeast to
add vitamines to their diet?” the
leading professors in dietetics re
turn a positive ”No.”
Yeast contains only vitamipe B
which is only a partial prevent
ative of disease. A diet of vegt
ables, milk or milk products, cer
eals and fruits contain all the
necessary vi amines.
It is also stated that the use
ofy'#'iOi3y a makeshift as
these other foods are obtainable;

Ben Jackson Proprietor
In a recent issue of the
Stroller’s Weekly, the editor E
J. White passed a few remarks
as to the need of developing some
local color to suit the tastes of the
tourist, and made the suggestion
that the citizenry of Juneau
paint a glacier on the sideof the
mountain and fake up a volcano
for the delectation of the travel
ing population.
» Owing to the fact that we are
long on glaciers, and shy on tour-1
ist8, we propose that the Juneau
Improvement Society trade us a
few tourists for a pocket-sized
glacier. We would guarantee the
glacier to be in first class workin’
order, and if a touch of reality
Were needed, we might throw in
8 couple of miles of moraine
Speaking seriously, ’’The Stroll
er” is right. Juneau is not a tour
ist playground, and never will
be; McCarthy is in the same fix.
When people stop here they
have business,; it’s up to us to
show them chances for success,
not scenery.
Recently a case was introduc
ed into the Chinese courts that is
said to be without parallel-.
An enterpisising official con
ceived the plan of tearing down
the /wall surrounding the Imper
ial City, in Pekin, and selling the
ground for building purposes.
As the wall is about 100 feet
wide the government was due to
make some money. However the
royal' family won the decision.
Now the government is replac
ing all the porcelain bricks that
were torn from the wall. EX.
