NOW FOR THE RESCUE.

0RATFYNG in every respect have been the results thus
far of the efforts of THE CALL to provide relief for the
sailors of the whaling fleet imprisoned in the ice of the
Arctic Ocean, The Government has responded promptly to
the request that relief expedition be dispatched at once. the
offer of THE CALL to provide urs and clothing for the crew of
the Bear and for the whaer when rescued has been accepted
by Captain Tutte everything being rapidly made ready
for the cruise.
The efforts of The CALL will not end with what has been
accomplished 1t will be represented the Bear by Lieutenant
Berry, who will act correspondent and First Assistant
Engineer H. NJ Wood, who will act as photographer these
officers will furnish photographs exclusively for HE
CALL and its ay the New York Hsraa and through them
HE CALL will be kept in close touch with the expedition at
every stage of its proceedings. In this way HE CALL will
be able give its readers the earliest and most reliable
the voyage of the relief ship and make known them the
heroic story of the of the whaers from the icy desoa
tons that surround them.
From the moment the first reports made of the per-
ous position of the sailors of the whaling fleet off Point
Barrow HE CALL determined to them it was humanity
possible. 1t did not undertake the work of self
advertising. started foolish scheme of taking up private
subscriptions did make the silly bluff of offering to
tribute $4,000 and to get $500 from charity baseball
for the relief work. provided other psope would put Up
$4,000
THE CALL went about the task of providing for the
cue in the only way in which it could be accomplished 1t
presented to the officials Washington full and state
men of the conditions of the whaling fleet and pointed out
how the could be saved When the Secretary of the
Navy replied that he could send relief Ship but had
of furnishing with supplies without appropriation from
Congress, THE CALL met the emergency by offering to fur
niSh the supplies itself.
The offer did not that THE CALL would pass around
the hat and take up subscription, did The CALL
would start baseball fake AMI Sunday game for the
kind of charity that is sounding brass 1t meant exactly
what saidif the Government could not promptly provide
supplies for the relief the destitute sailors the Arctic HE
CALL would do its expense and have them ready
be put board the Government coul get ready
the ship to take them
All these preliminary diff cutes have been overcome.
The Bear being made ready for the voyage with the utmost
expedition To the supplies provided by the Government there
will be added those whch THE CALL will give increase the
comfort of the brave of the Bear and the waers who
be rescued from starvation and cold The best part the
story however is that which will be told later from our
correspondent Lieutenant Berry, and from our photographer
Engineer Wood receive the reports and the photographs
which will show how the accomplished and the
heroic work performed.

Until, at last but single leaf

And the many lea linen that are left behind
Gather in clusters here and there

FINE ENTERTAINMENTS.

On Thursday evening, December 2, a
concert was given in the new parish

composed of exceptionally fine selec-
tions. The new organ, which Mr. Con
key has placed on trial in the Episcopal
church was used. The proceeds of the
entertainment are to be used towards
purchasing an organ. After the concert
the Lend-aHand club held an informal

Cataprh TO
Consumption

Catarrh invariably leads to consump-
ton Growing worse and worse each
winter, those who rely upon the usual
treatment of sprays, washes and inhal-
ing mixtures find that it is impossible
to check the disease with these local
applications which only reach the sur.
face. The offensive discharge increases
all the while, and gets deeper until it is
only a question of short time when
the lungs are affected.
The Importance of the proper treat
ment can therefore be readily appre-
ciated. But no good whatever can be
expected from local applications, as
such treatment never did cure Catarrh,
and never will. Being a blood disease
of the most obstinate nature, Swift's
Specific (S.S.S.) is the only remedy
which can have the slightest effect upon
Catarrh. 1t is the only blood remedy
that goes down to the bottom of all stub
born diseases which other remedies
cannot reach.
Mrs. Josephine PoIhill, of Due West,
S. c., writes:
"I had such a severe case OF
Catarrh that I lost my hearing in one
ear, and part of the bone in my nose
sloughed off. I was constantly treated
