JUNK DEALER SEES CHANCE
First Smashing Blow Dealt by Local
Court in Drive Against Un
scrupulous Traders.
With the declaration that the sale
of poisonous, putrid food was almost
equivalent to murder. District Judge
Bell sentenced William Reed to 30 days
in jail and topped that with a fine of
fOO yesterday in the first smashing
blow dealt by a local court in the cam
paign against unscrupulous food deal
ers. Reed was found guilty by a Jury
last week of selling spoiled cans of
salmon, sold him as chicken feed, for
human consumption.
Reed's attorney offered to plead
guilty last week if the district attor
ney's office would recommend leniency,
a fine of not more than 110 being sug
gested. Deputy District Attorney
Dempsey declared the least he would
recommend In case of a plea of guilty
was a fine of $2i, so a jury trial was
demanded.
Jaak Dealer Sees t'haaee.
A peculiar phase of the case was the
fact that the offender was not a food
merchant but a dealer in junk who saw
an opportunity to make a little money
from ten cases of salmon bought from

Tanlac Ends Trouble.
"Tanlac helped me get rid of a case
of stomach trouble that had been both
ering me for three years and I don't
believe there's another medicine like
It," said Mrs. C. B. Crecraft of 141
Orand avenue North, Portland, to a
Tanlac representative recently.
"During that time I had suffered
more or less from indigestion and
stomach trouble," continued Mrs. Cre
craft, "but it was only in the last year
that my condition got so bad that I
lost my appetite almost entirely, and
what little I did force myself to eat
just seemed to sour and fill me up
with gas soon after eating and lots of
times this caused my heart to palpi
tate, and I could hardly get my breath.
At times I suffered terribly from
cramps in my stomach and had to be
very careful what I ate because there
were some things, like cabbage and
tomatoes or anything acid, that I didn't
dare touch. I was also troubled a good
deal with aick headaches and sometimes
suffered so much from dizziness 1
could scarcely keep on my feet, and I
finally got so run down in health and
felt so weak and tired all the time that
I was hardly able to do my housework
and look after the children, and.
although I took medicines in the hope
of finding something to relieve me,
nothing seemed to help me a particle.
"I was in Just this condition when I
decided to try Tanlac because I had
read so much about the medicine I
wanted" to see if it would help me like
others claimed it had helped them.
Well, I didn't notice much change in
my condition by the time I had fin
ished that first bottle of Tanlac, but
when I got started on the second bot
tle my appetite commenced to pick up.
so I kept on with the treatment until
now I actually feel like a different
person altogether. My appetite is so
good I am hungry all the time and I

friends about Tanlac and will gladly
tell others what It did for me."

"While there Is a possible element of
carelessness in the sale, the Jury ap
peared well satisfied that Reed knew
what he was doing when he sold that
fish at more than 100 per cent profit.

SEATTLE. Wash., Aug. 19. New for
tunes still lie in the far north for ad
venturers who will go Into the Arctic
sections of Canada and Alaska and
raise reindeer for the outside world
markets. according to Vilhjalmur
Stefansson. Canadian Arctic explorer.
With the meat supply of the outside
world decreasing annually, some day
the bulk of the meat used in Europe
and America will be brought down
from tundra plains lying albng the
northern edge of the world, the ex
plorer predicted here recently.
"Reindeer carcases can be landed In
Seattle at present at a total cost of
between $7 and $8, and bring an aver
age of about $30 each, leaving a clear
profit of about 22 for each animal,"
Stefansson said.
At present a large amount of rein
deer meat from the Seward peninsula
section of northwestern Alaska is being
sold In Minnesota. The meat retails at
a price a bit higher than beef, but it Is
expected to drop in price as the supply
Increases.
Investigations are being made by
Stefansson for the Canadian govern
ment regarding the feasibility of trans
planting reindeer into northeastern
Canada for raising for outside market.
Over 1.000.000 acres of northern Can
ada lie ready for the herds. Stefansson
estimated. These lands -are rich with
northern vegetation which It Is said
will support the animals th! year
around, regardless of good or bad
weather conditions.
According to one scheme suggested
the reindeer would be brought across
the Atlantic from Scandinavian coun
tries for the transplanting In north
eastern Canada. The northeastern sec
tion would be selected because of the
fact It is closer than other parts of
northern Canada to the markets of Eu
rope. It Is said that It costs more to
transport reindeer meat from north
western Alaska to Seattle than from
northeastern Canada to England.
Nome, Alaska, people who recently
formed a company to raise and ship
reindeer have four large herds and are
considering taking an airplane north
for use in herding the animals.
