Show Vegetarian Would Find Tough Going in Alaska Arctic cold has the effect of making mak-ing everyone ravenously hungry, and plenty of nourishing food Is absolutely abso-lutely necessary. Fat, especially, Is essential. I doubt If n vegetarian-could vegetarian-could survive an Arctic winter. But we have no vegetarians, writes an Alaskan correspondent. Here is one great advantage of the ong frost. There is no need for tlie butcher to call. We get all our winter win-ter meat In at once, usually at the beginning of November, and cut It into joints, which are stored in our larder. This meat is as fresh in April as It was in November. Each evening the joint for next day's dinner is brought in and thawed. Then it is ready for the oven. Eggs, butter, miik, vegetables, all remain perfectly fresh in the intense cold of the larder. There are no thaws to worry the housekeeper. And, of course, there is always summer to look forward to three months of gorgeous sunshine. We never have a wet, cold summer any more than we ever have a damp, mild winter. |
