REINDEER MEAT IS GOOD FOOD
Many studies have been made of
the composition of different sorts
of meat, of cooking qualities, and
of thoroughness of digestion. Judg
ing by available data, meat from
different animals used as food is
very similar in its genera! composi
tion.
Besides the considerable amount
of water present, meats contain
protein or nitrogenous material, fats
in varying amounts, minute propor
tions of glycogen or animal sugar,
and some ash constituents. The per
centage of fat varies very greatly
with food and other matters.
Some cuts are considered better
flavored and some more tender than
others but, generally speaking,
meats of different kinds and cuts
are very similar in their food value
and digestibility, meat protein like
other complete protein being used
for the buildng and repair of body
tissue, and the fa: of meat like
other fats, as body fuel. This applies
in a general way to game also.
So far as can be judged from a
vailable information reindeer meat
resembles mutton more nearly than
it does beef. The flesh of game an
imals. generally speaking, has a low
er water content and a correspond
ingly greater percentage of protein
and fat than the flesh of domestic
animals. Aside from what has been
said of its food value reindeer, as
well as game of all sorts, is praised
for its distinctive flavor.
To understand the place of meats
including game animals, and other
foods in the diet, one should re
member that in order to be well
balanced the diet week in and week j
out should provide: flj vegetables
and fruit, valuable for ash and vit
amin constituents; (2) meat. milk,
■eggs, fish, and other foods which
supply “Complete” protein; (3) cer
eal grains and their products, as
sources of .carbohydrate for energy :
or body fuel; (4) sugar and other
sweets, as flavor foods and sources
of body fuel; and (5) fat, as a
source of body fuel which in some :
cases, as in butter and cream, is
accompanied by vitamins. Reindeer
meat is well fitted to take its place
with other meats in Group 2.
Reindeer have been bred for food
purposes for centuries in Northern
Asia which is a clear indication of
their fitness for food. The flavor
is excellent the food value com
pares well with other meats, and the
meat is wholesome and can be pre
pared for the table in a variety of
ways.
RUSSIAN PEASANT ORDERED
BY SOVIET TO GET BUSY
\ LADIVOSTOK May 1—Trouble
with the peasants next spring is
anticipated as a result of the So
viet's decision to make a division of
the land. The peasants of Far Eas
tern Russia are mostly landowners
possessing from 50 to 250 acres
each. This they do not work them
selves but hire out to Koreans who
come over here and take up agri
culture. The Koreans in return give
the Russian a share of the produce,
while the peasant spends his time
in hunting, fishing and working on
the forest concessions.
Now the Soviet Government will
bring into force the laws that are
in force in Russia, in other words
each peasant will get only as much
land as he and his family is cap
able of working. This will naturally
mean a great loss to the Russian
peasant and also more labour than
he is accustomed to do. Koreans
settlers coming into the country
will receive land pn the same terms
as the Russian settlers.
George Shakes, son of the late
Chief Shakes, of Wrangell, was
granted a certificate of citizenship
recently by District Judge Reed.

CORDOVA MAN IS APPOINTED I
ANCHORAGE POLICE CHIEF
The appointment recently at
Anchorage of H. A. Kavanaugh as t
chief of police to succeed N. Kitz- f
miller, has subjected the city • coun- j
cil of that city to much unfavorable 1
comment on account of the fact that (
the new appointee is a resident of t
Cordova. There were a number of $
local applicants for the place, will- r
ing to serve the city' at the salary t
paid during the last year, but the ]
appointment was given to the Cordo- i
va man notwithstanding, and at a -
substantial increase in salary, the f
amount demanded by Kavanaugh be
ing $250 per month. tt
The only councilmen voting a- ;
gainst Kavanaugh were A. A. Shon- j
beck and Charles Bush, but their ?
i
action, according to the Anchorage,
Times, has the backing of a large t
part of the population. All of the 1
other city employees were reappoint- \

GOETHALS GOES TO ANGORA <
: i
It is understood that Gen. Goe- .
thals, of Panama Canal fame, is a- .
bout to proceed to Turkey to un- ,
dertake extensive railroad copper
mining and oil developments. The
General is the head of the Ottoman-: .
American Development Company ^
which has secured a concession to
the Mosul oil fields and agreed to
carry out a huge construction pro
gram. The concession is dated 1909,
but has been reissued by the pre
sent Angora government. Approval r
of the Turkish parliament is lack- c
ing. but it is anticipated at an c
early date. The importance of the t
concession is realized by the fact i
that the value of the oil fields is t
estimated at $4,600,000,000. ; c
Turkey’s commerical relations r
with the rest of the world have not *
been such as to inspire confidence ^
in the business integrity of other c
nations. Several members of the j
league of nations, ostensibly dedi- 0
cated to the cause of world peace, s
have not hesitated to incite war in >c
Turkey to further their ambitions 0
for control of Turkish natural re- -
sources. There is little wonder that 1
the Turks have tired of such un- P
scrupulous exploitation, and have a
turned to Americans for relief. a
Their confidence will not have been t
misplaced. Of course the American
company hopes for a profit in what n
it is doing, but the Turkish govern- 51
ment itself can look for better 1
treatment than it would get under
iny other arrangement.

1IDDLE CLASS OF JAPAN
PINCHED BY DEPRESSION
TOKIO, May, 1,—The middle
lases of Japan are beginning to1
eel the pinch of the business de
iression under which the country
as been suffering since the spring
f 1920 when the after effects of
he war and post-war booms be
•an to arouse the business com
munity to the fact that the infla
ion could not last forever. Since
920 many people have been liv- j
ng on their war profits at the
ame rate as when the money was
lowing in.
Now, however, with a bad win
er and money running short they
re beginning to cut expenses and
11 classes of busineess and profes
ions are feeling it.
For example high priced hospi
als which until a few weeks ago
ad every room occupied have many I
acant ones, the middle elases who
sed to patronize these institutions
aving been compelled to attend
heaper ones or receive attention
n their homes. Charitable subscrip
ions too, have fallen off according
o the secretaries of organizations
ppealing for funds to care for
he poor during this winter. The
hops are still crowded but sales
re far below what they were a
ear ago, people now looking for
heaper goods.
THE RULE OF WORK
“Work by name and work by
ature." to use an expression of
ur childhood days, properly des
ribe* the new Secretary of the In
erior. Secretary Hubert Work has1
=sued instructions that all Regis
rars and Receivers of U. S. Land
ffices throughout the United States
lust be at their offices during of
ice hours ready to attend to official
usiness for any citizens who may
all to have busineess transacted,
.ccording to Dr. Work’s statements
n the subject, homesteaders,
tockmen. etc., sometimes go to lo
al land offices and find the official
ut of town or away from his of
ice. with the result that there is
■ritating delay and needless ex
ense. Observance of the new rule
nnounced by the Secretary will
void trouble of this kind in the Lo
ire. This is one more evidence of
le Republican determination to put
lore business in government at the
ime time that government is being
iken out of business.
