The Times correctly points out that the Canadian
Provinces mentioned maintain their own engineering
and geological staffs. The Dominion Government is
not concerned in that work. Alaska ought to par
ticipate in mining investigations on a larger scale
than has been the case for several years. It does
co-operate with the Federal Government to some
extent, bu it should have its own agency at least
on a limited scale. The value of its mining industry
is sufficient to justify the necessary expenditures
so long as they are reasonably proportionate to the
other Government expenses.
There is ample reason for the Federal Govern
ment to maintain a far larger corps of geologists
and engineers here than it has for many years.
It owns most of the land and resources in the
Territory. Only by aiding in their development
can it rid itself of the expense incident to then
retention in an undeveloped state.
VALUABLE SOURCES OF VITAMINS
B AND G.
Vitamins B and G are essential for the growth
of the young and the well-being of the adult, and
vitamin B is especially needed by the mother dur
ing pregnancy and lactation. For this reason nutri
tionists of the United States Department of Agri
culture have laid especial emphasis lately on the
importance of including these two vitamins In the
diet at all times.
