MAY HAVE REACHED THE POLE
Scientists Believe Captain Sverdrup Has
Been Successful.

Chrlstiania, Oct 14.-There is a
strong belief throughout Scandinavia
that Captain Sverdrup in the Fran
has reached the north pole and is now
returning home. Sverdrup has been
away on an expedition round Green
land forty months, and as Lieutenant
Peary did not see him north of Green.
land, it is thought that the brave Nor
wegian never intended to go round
Greenland, but to reach the pole.
In the summer Of 1899 Sverdrup was
on the northwest coast Of Greenland.
Lincoln's sea north of that point was
free from ice the following summer,
according to Lieutenant Peary. Sci.
entists declare that in view of these
circumstances there Is a strong prob
ability that Captain Sverdrup seized
the opportunity and reached the pole.
There are no fears as to the safety Of
the expedition, which is provisioned for
five years.

TAKING CHANCES.
People Who Will Learn Only
by a Perilous Personal
Experience.

As a rule experience is profitable
only to the individual who obtains it.
When the aged man tries to save youth
from mistakes such as he made, the
youth smiles to himself: wThe idea
of that old fossil thinking that an up
to-date young man is going to make
mistakes" 1t is a peculiar trait of
human nature that each man thinks he
is little smarter than the others, and
that he will succeed where others failed.
wOh, yes" says Smith, rI know that

paddle. It's a pity people like Jones
will take such chances" And he smil-
ingly launches his canoe to follow Jones
alike in his feat and in his failure.
THE EXTREME OF FOLLY.
The most foolhardy man who ever
risked his life, or the most infatuated
gambler who ever risked his fortune, is
a sage compared with the man who
attempts to get the best of Nature.
The foolhardy man may succeed. The
gambler may win. But the man who
takes chances with Nature is bound to
lose. If the obituaries of tens of thou
sands who are cut down annually in
life's prime were truly written death
would not be attributed to this or that
form Of disease, but to an attempt to
evade the necessary laws of health.
The weak spot in the modern man Is
his stomach. It is in disease of the
stomach that many of the maladies
begin which carry off the busy men of
the day. The seed of disease once
planted in the stomach grows and
spreads like some climbing parasite
about a tree. 1t throws out tendril
about the heart and presently another
which grips the lungs, and others again
which take hold of kidneys and liver.
Then suddenly the man is smitten by
heart disease or lung disease; or sue
cumbs to some malady of kidneys or
liver. The real seat of disease is the
stomach. And one of the reasons why
the diseases of the other organs often
fail of a cure is that the treatment
ignores the stomach, and attempts to
treat directly the other organs, whose
diseases are only symptoms of disease
of the stomach and other organs Of
digestion and nutrition.
THERE'S PLENTY OF PROOF
Of the soundness of the proposition that
diseases of other organs remote from
the stomach which are caused by dis
ease of the stomach must be cured
through the stomach, and, in fact, can.
not be cured in any other way. The
best proof in the world is that Doctor
