HOLLAND’S WAR BREAD
CAUSING MUCH SICKNESS
THE HAGUE, June 20.—Hol
land's war bread, which has been In
use for the last few weeks, will
have to be changed. The Holland
populace says so, the physicians of
Holland say so and the government
is expected to agree.
Unlike the war bread of all other
European countries*, the Holland
bread was made of flour which con
tained the husks of the wheat. Even
the sturdy Dutch stomach was un
able to endure the scrapings and
scratchings of the wheat husks and
shortly the physicians of Dutch ci
ties and towns had a rush of pa
tients whose digestive organs had
gone wrong. The doctors quickly
traced the trouble to the war bread.

PLENTY BIG
FOR THE
E
Arthur Ruppel, who recently ar
rived in Anchorage, has aroused all
the sporting instinct in the local
sportsmen by his interesting ac
counts of the big game that abounds
in the neighborhood of Lake Tustu
mena. Mr. Ruppel and partner,
Johan Teuton, went into that coun
try about nine weeks ago to prospect
the creeks that empty into Lake
Tustumena for placer, and Johan
had the misfortune to have his leg
broken by a falling tree and had to
be taken to Kenai for medical atten
tion. Mr. Ruppel was very reticent
in regard'to the finding of gold, but
was voluminous when it came to the
game that lives in this part of Alas
ka, and from what he says it must
be a veritable mecca for the big
game hunter.
Lake Tustumena lies just north
of the Bald range in the Kenai pen
insula, something over one hundred
miles from Anchorage, and isf fed by
numerous creeks that rise in the ad
jacent mountain range, the principal
I creeks being Fox, Nikolai, Indian
! and Birch creeks. These streams
are alive with trout of several differ
ent species and will rise to the fly
at this time of the year.
The town of Kasilof, just opposite
I Cape Kasilof, is the nearest port of
J entry, and supports a small store or
trading post, but no saloon. The
Kasilof river connects the
lake with the sea, but is very dan
gerous and hard to navigate, and
Mr. Ruppel advises anyone going
into that country to take along a
poling boat, as it is necessary to
line about twelve miles of the dis
tance from Kasilof to the lake. Mr.
Ruppel says that the scenery in this
neighborhood is wonderful and that
this country is an ideal place for
touring and camping parties, except
that at present there are no roads
and the traveling is bad. Secretary
Koch has written for details in re
gard to the country with the view of
recommending Lake Tustumena as
a stopping place for summer tourists
and is making arrangements to get
a party together to go into this
country this fall after big game.
In addition to the big game that
frequents this country, the waters
are alive with ducks and geese
whose flesh is firm and of a deli
cious flavor, not excelled by the
famous Chesapeake bay canvasback.
for they feed upon a water plant pe
culiar to this country. There are
thousands of grouse and ptarmigan
in the hills, and Mr. Ruppel spoke
particularly in regard to the abund
ance of wild flowers which grace the
entire countryside. Different re
ports from the Kenai peninsula have
stated that the moose of this coun
try died off by the score this winter,
and Mr. Ruppel substantiates this
story, saying that he saw at least
fifty dead moose whose carcasses
were lying in the river, on the banks
and in many other places, and he
claims the high death rate was due
to scarcity of shrubbery and willow
tops on which they feed during the
long winter months. He mentioned
one instance that came to his notice
where a friend of his had chopped
down a tree and a mother moose
with her young calf literally tore
the tops off in their anxiety to sat
isfy their hunger. This condition is
not prevalent, and in the memory of
the oldest inhabitant the same ex
perience has not previously hap
pened. In hills surrounding Lake
Tustumena are an abundance of the
wily mountain sheep; both black
and brown bear were more numer
ous than ever before, and the moose
fairly dot the hillsides. Mr. Ruppel
will remain in Anchorage for a few
days before leaving for the Mata
nuska country, and is stopping at
the Riverside hotel.
