“The House That Quality Built”
lOOZE DEATH KALE GOING IT
; Government statisticians find that
the Volstead apparently is accel
erating rather than decreasing the
death rate from alcoholism and cir
rohosis of the liver. Deaths from
j alcoholism virtually have reached
I the highest levels of pre-prohibi -
tion days and are increasing at the
rate of 500 annually. A steady in
crease in deaths from cirrohosis of
the liver, attributable to alcohol,
has been noticed since 1 920. The
department of commerce experts
have discovered that alcoholism
claimed virtually the same number
of victims in 1920 aH in 1910. Their
figures compiled from 40 odd states
in tiie registration bureau and ex
cluding Hawaii disclosed that the
deaths from alcoholism reached
their lowest ebb in 1920, when the
reported rate was 900 per 100,000.
In 1921 the rate jumped to 1,011, in
19 2 2 to 2,407, in 1922 to 2,142, in
1924 to 3,155, in 1925 to 3,094 and
i:i 1920 the rate was 4,109. Tin
highest rate prior to 19 26 was ir.
1910, when it was 4,101 per 100.
000. Deaths from cirrohosis of th >
livn-.’ jumped from 0,2 41 per 100,
000 ir 1920 to 7,591 in 1920, the
last year for which figures art avail
able. The high deatli rate is of
cou-’&e not due to the fact that mo1- -
alcoholic liquors are being used bn:
is chargeable to the quality of the
bootleggers’ goods.
DEPARTMENT FINDS REINDEER
V EAT IS VARIABLE FOOD
-O!
To determine the value of Alas
kan reindeer meat for food, samples
have been officially tested recently
for chemical composition and nu
tritive value. It was found to pos
sess high protein, low fat and com
paratively low moisture. The test
is valuable in connection with tnr
eommereial introduction into the
United States of reindeer as an n:
tiele of food, as well as for informa
'lion ol' Alaskan natives.
1'wo departments of the Govern
ment are cooperating in the study,
and the analyses and experiment,
followed a meeting in Washington.
t\ C., between representatives of
s< veral bureaus of the Department
of Agriculture and a representative
ol the Department of the Interior,
Bureau of Education, the govern
mental agency charged with the pro
motion of the reindeer industry in
connection, with the educational
work among Alaskan natives.
Panther experiments will be con
ducted, and results of the completed
study will be incorporated in a bul
letin on the cooking of reindeer
meat, similar to bulletins on the
cooking of beef ahd lamb.
The Ketchikan business men are
wailiug about “poor business” yef
talking of the wonderful salmon
pack ’it the first city. The fishermen
spend their GASH IN ALASKA and
the Tit A PM AN SPENDS HIS CASH
IN SEATTLE.
Marry Benolkin of Ketchikan
passed through Petersburg vester
dry. He was headed for cohoe fish
ing grounds. Speaking of the fail
fishing iu tlie Ketchikan district he
did not believe that the season
would pan out well financially for j
the fishermen too manv boats for a I
i
small fishing area he says. High.
boat for summer fishing in that dis-j
trict pulled about a hundred thou-1
sand salmon in this year. They1,
ranged from that amount down to j
the and ten thousand to the boat.
Averaging right through the fisher
men would average around twenty
thousand per boat for the season. In
spite of the “good season” in Ket
chikan, the businessmen are turn
ing against the trap system. They
make more individually than do the
fishermen blit they spend less :n
Alaska and more in Seattle which is
poor business for Alaska.
