NOME, ALASKA, SEPT. 18. 1916.
ABOUT EATING.
Ten or fifteen years ago it was re
ported that John 1). Rockefeller, the
richest man in the whole world, was
quitt depressed in spirits and that he
expected to be called upon at any hour
to face the Creator and give an ac
count of his stewardship. His health
generally was bad and a collapse
seemed imminent indeed.
The cause of this sad condition was
his stomach which for many years had
refused, even in its most wiHing mo
ments, to do more than partial duty.
This useful, not to say necessary or
gan, was said by his enemies to have
bten poisoned and paralyzed by fear,
bis haunting fear of the men he hud
I lit out ot business which is a nice
a.ty of saying rob'ed an 1 ruined.
Uowev. ; this u ay have lieei,, he was a
chronic dyspepsia, suffering acutely
and despairiq-t ot' life.
The report, possibly apocryphal,
was current that he was willing to pay
a million dollars to any physician who
would cure him.
And it came about that he was cur
ed luit not by the skilled men of medi
cine, as it happened, nor by the use of
drugs of any sort.
A kindly philanthropist named
Fletcher persuaded him to chew his
food and to throw aside all worry and
haste at meal time. He was told to
eat anything he wanted but to masti-,
cate it thoroughly, to chew it until
there was nothing left to chew on.
Thus what we all know as "Fletch
i risrn’ got a great deal of prominence
and it soonh ad many disciples most of
whom found health in consequences.
In the case of John D., his stoatnch
soon resumed its full and proper func
tions and he has been living along
serenely ever since, cavorting about
the golf kinks, blinking blandly at
pedestrians from behind his chauf
fer’s back, attending weekly prayer
meeting and otherwise disporting him
self according to his peculiar nature.
Furthermore he seems likely to live a
long time yet.
From all of which it seems reason
able to infer that Fletcherism may be
a good habit for anyone to acquire.
What is it? Why, simply this: Go
to your meals in an unhurried and un
worried frame of mind, chew your
food It it all gone. Don’t swallow any
of iit, when it is well enough masti
cated it goes to its allotted place with
no effort on your part. Eat anything
you wish but do not overeat. "Eat a
little less but eat it more.’’ If you
have onl> ten minutes in which to
feed, why, take your time just the
same. What you can chew well in ten
minutes will do you infinitely more
good than u whole dinner bolted in
haste.
Thorough chewing is claimed by
Eletcherites lo be a cure for all the
ills which come crowding upon the
earelss and hasty eater.
A faithful adherence to the teachings
of Fletcherism will bring with it com
plete freedom from indigestion and its
brood of diseases, a large increase in
productive capacity and a far keener
enjoyment of eating than is possible
under customary ways of bolting food.
It is an old fad and seemingly a
permanent one and is worth trying es
peoially by one whose stomach is the I
least bit balky.
How is (his as a sign of democracy
in England’.’ Arthur l’onsonby, mem
ber of parliament says: "If the war
goes one conscription will have to go
further and if men under certain age
are made to sacrifice their lives, then
1 think the people above a certain in
come ought to be made to sacrifice
their wealth.”
Candidate Hughes says: “I don't
care if 1 am elected president what
becomes of my personal fortunes.” We
should say not'.’ What personal for
tune could befall him that would be
better?
Prof. H. E. Jordan helps us all
greatly b> this: “Much confusion is
removed by McClung's demonstration
that the result of the second sperma
tocyte division is neither entirely
equatorial nor reductional.”
The conduct of Captain Cousins anil
the crew of the steamer Congress as
reported in our recent dispatches was
admirable. That they got all their
passengers and themselves as well
ashore without loss of a life would
seem to indicate coolness, excellent
discipline, and possibl) heroism of
which we shall doubtless hear later.
Somehow we come to expect these
qualities m our men who go about the
sea in ships.
The tight for first place in the Am
erican league, as indicated b\ the
standing in Saturday's Nugget, is very
close. Boston, Detroit and Chicago
are practical)' tied for the top rung.
The odds would seem to favor the Ti
gers who have been going up fast in
the past few days. Their momentum
is likely to land them in first place at
thti season's end.
Ii would lie interesting to know just
how Black Fox John, the ltampart
House Indian, succeeded in shooting
himself the second time through the
head. One good clean hole straight
through the head ought to convince
any reasonable man. we should think,
that a second perforation were super
fluous.
A great geologist has said that any
rock can be easily broken if it is j
struck at the right place. We wish
some geologist would tell us how to ,
break up lumps of coal so that the
bits won’t fly all about our shed and
stick to our boots and get taken into
the rest of the house which makes
our wife -, but you yourself are
aware how useful such a geologic or
| coal shed hint would be.
HAS NEW THEORY
CONCERNING BLOND
ESKIMO
i
There will always come theories in
explanation of mysterious occurrences
a ml venditions, and so we have those
uncut the blonde Eskimo people dis
covered by Stefansson. The new one
conics innu a missionary, Kev. W. II.
Fr\ says the Valdez Miner of August
6. From hia base tit Cape Perry on the
Arctic, he made it long sledge journey
with six dogs and accompanied liv one
r
Eskimo toward Cape Itixley and Vic
toria Hand, when- he hoped to reach
the habitat of the two or three
hundred Eskimos among whom are
these people of blonde hair and blue
eyes, whose existence hits been vouch
d mi by Steian.cson. Within sixty
miles ui nis destination he was oblig
d lo turn back on account of the
severe illness of his companions. Of
course, it was hard sledding of many
weeks, but he and his dogs brought
the sick Eskinifi back to shelter.
.Mr. Fry did not see any blonde peo
ple, and he frankly reported his fail
ure in that respect to the Edmonton
Bulletin, but he conjured up and
brought back a theory to account for
their being, in opposition to that of
the great explorer who had actually
seen some of them. He thinks it is
likely that there were some survivors
of the officers and crew of the Erebus
and Terror of Sir John Franklin’s
Northwest Passage exploration, who
lived with the Eskimo people and be
got children to become ancestors of
these blonde people Steflfansson dis
covered to us.
Many relics of the Franklin party
of 124 officers and men, of their ships
and boats, and some written records
telling of their sufferings were turned
up by the score of search parties sent
out after them in the thirty ears fol
lowing 1x48, but the final conclusion
oi the British government was that
not one of those men survived.
But let us suppose with this latest
theory that some of them may have
survived to leave children by Eskimo
women, what has led Mr. Fry to be
lleve that they were blonde men? This1
missionary tells us that he made this
journey i nsearch of "heaten Eski
mos," thus distinguishing them from ,
those who have been brought under
the influence of missions. It seems
strange that he should not in his
theory, have calculated upon the possi
bility of some of those Franklin men
having enough faith in Christianity to
have handed own to their children and
through them to other generations at j
least some vague tradition of a relig
ion taught by the church of England. !
Evidently, in our search for the '
blonde ancestors of these "heathen
Eskimos" of light hair and blue eyes, j
we are thrown back upon Mr. Stef- !
ansson's theory that they are desend- j
ants of Scandinavians who may have .
drifted over the icy north of this con- i
timent seven or eight hundred years '
ago. Those white people, mostly of i
light hair and eyes, no doubt were
descended from families that Eric the I
lied, pirate, murderer, outlaw, first !
from Norway and then from Iceland, I
but always daring adventurer and '
prospector, had prevailed upon to leave
Iceland and settle in Greenland. There
had been Eskimos in Greenland before
that time, and in the centuries fol- .
lowing there were warlike invasions
of them uopn the holdings of the orig
inal Icelanders living in Greenland.
Between that great island, and the
mainland, or ice, of North America
there may have been frequent voyages
of warring peoples, and so some of the
Greenland descendants of the Scandin
avians may have settled with the Es
kimos on this side.
Mr. Fry has not given up his 0.! .
mendablep u.pjte of reaching thesi
strange blondes and rescuing them j
from their heathen condition. On the
I
contrary, having taken to himself a
wife, at Edmonton, he has set out to
ward Victoria. Land for a honeymoon.
Republicans should remember that
the number of Delegates to go to the

upon the vote cast for Attorney-Gen
