LUNAR INDISPOSITIONS
“Whenever the feminine sex
were indisposed, they were isolat
ed in special barabaras, and sup
plied with food and water in spe
cial kalugas (vessels). For pains in
J the chest, they used a small fish
-kaya (Aleut) as medicine; also
as a food until recovery. After
ward they abstained from all fat
ty or greasy foods. According to
prevalent opinion, these pains or
boils were due to incontinence—
ita lex cripta.
When these boils opened up,
they resorted to other remedies,
namely, the roots of the plant
Chikinalyakhpik (Aleut), was
shaved, boiled thoroughly and
drank morning and evening—
similar to grandmother’s tansy
tea. Such a decoction was said to
be bitter and caustic, to such an
extent that many could not bear
its use; in a word, the cure was
worse than the disease—voila tout.
In the meantime, they ate cod
fish and other unfatty foods. At
the first signs of external boils,
they are cut open and not allow
ed to ripen, as they are consider
ed dangerous.
LIVER COMPLAINTS
In this contingency, the groin is
cut on the affected side, superfi
cially, usually with a sharp bone
or horn instrument, bled and af
terward covered with down (feath
ers).

RIFLE, TRIP SHOOTING
RICE BE ESTABLISHED
BY LOCAL LEGION POST
The myriad peaks engulfing
Seward will shortly reverberate to
the pandemonum of a discordant,
raucous racket.
A clanking as of thousands of
tin dishes hurled over a precipice,
a roaring like a great dirigible in
full flight and a rattling like that
made by a small boy drawing a
stick along a picket fence, will de
luge the calm and otherwise coun
try-side ‘ere long.
Well, perhaps not so bad as
this but to many residents the
sound will be a soothing meoldy.
The Seward Post, American Le
gion, plan to establish a target
range and and all and sundry are
to be invited to join the ranks.
Fred Keilcheski and Alec Bolem,
both veteran major domos in the
recent conflagration across the
pond, were named at Wednes
day's meeting of the Post to prowl
about and locate a suitable site.
Once found, the Post will imme
diately begin establishment of
ranges for both large and small
bore rifle shooting and pistol and
trap shooting.

Advanced Refrigeration
Continually working for the ad
vancement of domestic electric re
frigeration, engineers of Frigidaire
Corporation have made it possible
for this General Motors subsidiary
this year to present a household
refrigerator with many refinements
and improvements, according to an
announcement by the local repre
sentative. Economy, efficiency and
beauty have been the guiding stars
of these engineers and as a result
the Frigidaire of today operates at
much lower cost, freezes more ice
cubes faster, has an interior and
exterior finish of durable white
porcelain-on-steel and provides
more shelf space than before.
