Everyone should know that to
eat when tired is to place upon the
digestive organs a burden which
they are wholly unable to bear.
When the body is In a state of
fatigue the digestive organs are
unable to perform their natural
functions; the glands of the stom-
ach will not form gastric juice; the
saliva is deficient in quantity, and
the whole digestive apparatus is
incapable of doing efficient work.
When exhausted one should rest
before eating. If faint or sink
ing sensation IL experienced, relief
may be obtained by drinking a
glass of hot water or diluted fruit
juice of some kind.

Falling of the hair is one of the
results of failure of nutrition of
the scalp. The nutrition of the
scalp may fail prematurely; then
the hair will fall prematurely.
Sooner or later, in the majority
of men, the hair gets thin with
advancing age. Women do not
suffer as much in this respect as
men, for the reason that they
treat their scalps better; they do
not cover the hair so much, and
consequently the head is not so
often overheated.

A DRAMATIC EPISODE.

Copenhagen Sept 6.-It is doubt ful if history furnishes a more dra- matic episode than the breaking of the news to Cook that Peary had reached the goal of his life's ambition. Dr. Cook was seated at dinner sur rounded by explorers. and correspon- dents in the gilded ball room of the Tivoli casino. Around his neck was hung a garland of pink roses, accord ing to the Scandinavian method of honoring heroes, which the explorer wore with visible embarrassment. Amid the scene the whisper went around that Peary had planted the Stars and Stripes at the pole. Cook was perfectly cool and unmoved. He made striking speech in which he paid high tribute to the work of Svrdrup, to John R. Bradley who had financed the expedition, to the intel ligence and endurance and faithful ness of the Eskimos who assisted and accompanied him. The whole story the expedition, he said, has not come out and will not come out for some time, nor will it come in installments, but only when it is complete.

"GENERAL" COXEY IS
 NOW A CAPITALIST
Time Has Somewhat Altered This
 Mans Viewpoint.

Among the guests at the New Willard hotel, Washington, D. C.. is one Jacob S. Coxey, capitalist. This person occupies an entire suit on the parlor floor Now. the New Willard is not "popular-priced" institution. The usual run of American capitalists stop and count ten before they sign up for even a room with bath at this hotel. If they had lived in such luxury earlier in life they would not have been plutocrats. Indeed, they would likely have landed in one of those simple. rambling structures maintained by the country. However. that is neither here nsr there. J. $. Coxey eats his morning grape fruit in his private dining room and could af- ford to keep it up the rest of the month. if he were so disposed.
 But it was not always thus. Time was when General Coxey-for it is none other-pointed to hotels of the New Willard type as the curse of our fair country" At the head of an army of $50 pedestrians he marched up Pennsylvania avenue to the very steps of the capitol to tell congress what he thought of the rich and the way they were pestering the working men. As luck would have it, he arrived on the lawmakers busy day and was arrested, with two of his advisers, for walking on the White House grass. The fact that he claimed to represent some ninety million persons did not make the slightest difference His army was blocking the street crossings CoXey himself needed a shave, and the city holdOver wasn't overcrowded, any way He and his lieutenants were ar rested, the army dispersed and ''thC

DAVIDSON ACCEPTS STORIES

San Francisco, Sept. 6.-'I believe Cook discovered the pole becaus. I cannot imagine any sane man making such an assertion unless he had proofs adequate to satisfy the men of science who act as the jury. I also believe Peary's statements for the same req son" This is the statement made by Prof George Davidson, a noted as- tronomical and geographical writer.
 Tn both cases I think there are en- tirely too much of what might be termed Buffalo Billism' and of spec tacular bombast which will tend to make the United States look ridiculous in the eyes of the world. From scientific standpoint, the discovery Is of little value. It is a great physical exploit. Much of the glory, I think. has been by the actions of the explor- CTS in the announcement of their dis coveries. If flaws are found, the proofs of either unfortunate person will be

BIGGEST WEEK AT
 SEA G|RT N. J. RANGE
Joint Rifle Tournament of Three State
 Associations.

Seagirt, N. J., Sept. 6.-The joint rifle tournament of the New Jersey, New York and Pennsylvania State Ri- file associations are now in full swing. and this week promises to DC one of the liveliest that Sea Girt has ever witnessed. The shooting to date has been of high order and interesting con- tests are expected next week. The at tendance Is excellent and evry day by Jersey resorts are on the range, cheering the riflemen to do their best
 Tomorrow the week kill open with the contest for the Swiss trophy at 500 yards. This is the eas:est or the longer ranges. but the conditions require that a competitor shall cease firing as soon as he gets out of the bull. As many as thirty bullseyes have been made in practice frequently, but never in contest The Hale match at 500 yards, New Jersey officers and inspectors match and the New York company team match will also be shot tomor- row. On Tuesday the Spencer (N. JD Cruikshank (N. Y) and Maxim long range (Pa) will be shot. The lat ter calls for ten shots at 1000 yards. in which the Maxim silencer can be used. MT Hiram P. Maxim, the well known inventor. has given s2OO and a handsome trophy for this match.
 On September Sth the Thurston long range match with 15 shots at 800 and 300 yards will take place. together with the mid range match at 300 yards. The program for Thursday is the heaviest of the week, comprising as 1t does the. Gould rapid fire match, the Seventy-first Regiment, New York State Rifle association, New York re- volver team and the New Jersey all comers' military revolver match. Fri day will see the most important con test of all. being that for the Dryden trophy, presented by former Senator Dryden of New Jersey for teams of eight This is probably the hand somest trophy for rifle shooting in the United States, and always brings out a good field. It is shot at 200. 600 and 1000 yards. On Friday the new Lib bery trophy match, for which the tro- phy was presented by Lieutenant Will liam Libbey of New Jersey will also be shot. This interesting match will be shot at 1000 yards. the competitG-s being allowed to conirfe. shooting as long as they make bulls or fours. The

 The tournament will be brought to an end on Saturday with, the off-hand match. veteran team match and the Sea Girt championship match.

COOKS DOCUMENTS. His Diary and the Last White Man to See Him Are in New York

New York. Sept. 6.-One of the most important pieces of documentary evi- dence upon which Cook will try to prove his discovery of the pole, it was learned today, is in this city. It is a diary kept by the explorer up to the day he severed his connection with his last white companion.
 The diary was left at Etah when the discoverer departed on his quest in the far north and was brought here by Ru dolph Francke steward of the expedi- tion. Francke delivered it to Mrs. Cook and by her it has been carefully copied in readable form. It now rests in safe deposit vault and will not see the light until delivered by Cook. The diary is not a connected narrative on ly succession of daily entries, re- cording every detail of the party's ex periences from the time expedition sailed from St. Johns. A friend said it is several thousand words long
 Francke is still in New York. As the last white man who saw the ex- plorer he expects to prove a most val able personal witness of the truth ot the story.

PROF GANNETT ON COOK
He is Not Strongly Suspicious But Is
 Irritatinely Conservative

Washington, Sept. 6.-'I believe in holding the whole matter of the dis covery of the pole in abeyance until adequate proof is submitted" declar- ed Professor Henry Gannett today Gannett has world wide fame as a geographer and author of scientific work and is a member of the nat ional geographical society. Gannett said. Holding the matter in abeyance does not imply any special disbelief in the man. Cook compares himself with Peary and others. Now there were others with Shackleton and Peary, and neither claimed anything as big as Cook has claimed. Cook says the reason of his success is that the trip was made at a different season of the year from that of any one else and added that he found the ice very rough and there were several leads of open water which bothered him. Cook and Peary went at the same time of the year. Peary reached "Farthest North" at almost the very day Cook says he reached the pole. Peary left Grantland at about the same time Cook says he left Grantland.
 T see nothing in Cooks narrative to make me suspicious except the stories about his being pursued by polar bears and musk OK, and what he has to say about floating ice. I never heard of a polar bear at tacking man, except in self-defense. Polar bears are about as dangerous as the ordinary black bear. The musk OK is a harmless animal. The floating ice stories struck me sas a funny yarn to tell. If Cook did reach the pole and left a cylinder there. it certainly is not there now. From all accounts I have ever seen, the ice is constantly moving. Everybody who has been in that region has found that drift. An explorer can determine the latltuue by a zenith telescope, the most ac- curate means. and by a textant.
 Cook did not have a zenith teles- cope as that was too heavy. One can tell at the pole by seeing the stars or sun circling at the distance above horizon. The sun comes above the horizon on the goth of March and goes around in a spiral until the 2oth or 22nd of June, when it reaches the highest point. Then the sun goes lower until the goth of September ano

MORE COTTAGES BUILT
 FOR BETHANY HOME
A Growing Institution Under the Aus. pices of the German Missionary
 Church

One of the more recent of the patients is that of Bethany home
 located four and a half miles north
 of the city limits. Many improve ments have been made in the camp
 during the summer months, single and double cottages having been erected.
 The camp is conducted under the aus pices of the German Missionary church. of which Rev. John Imbach is the pastor.
 It was formerly known as ManZan- ita camp, and was operated by Dr.
 H. H. Stone until last spring. when it was purchased by the present own CTS. During the summer a windmill with cement tank has been construct ed and several additional bungalows and tent houses erected. The camp is in charge of B. R. Lugibihl, super intendent.
 Two years ago some philanthropic persons, seeing the need for a Chris tian home for the sick in the valley, began to work and raise funds for the purpose of maintaining a camp for u IS Ntll hllOWu tildt tht hotels and most homes are closed to
 consumptives. and though there are
 other camps and sanatoriums in the valley. there are still insufficient ac- commodations for them. The German Missionary church took up the work with the result that the present site was selected and purchased and re-
 named Bethany home.
 The buildings now on the grounds
 are an assembly hall, a dining hall.
 kitchen and cottages. There is also
 sewerage system. Particular atten-
 ton is paid to sanitary conditions.
 The home was dedicated Thanksgiv-
 ing day, 1908. Most of the bungalows
 have been occupied during the sum-
 mer and now there are a number of cottages ready for occupancy.

POLE DISCOVERED APRIL 6.

New York Times: 'T have the pole. April 6, and expect to arrive at Chateau Bay on September '. Secure control of wire for me there and ar range to expedite transmission of a big story. Peary."
 Cook in his first message to his countrymen was brief but noncom- initial Peary is even briefer, but specific. The stars and stripes nailed to the pole,' he said. Five days ago Cook sent out from the Shetland is- lands the first message of his success message, which has aroused a storm of controversy around the world. To- day Peary, lost from view in the land of ice and unheard from since August 1908. startled the world by a similar message. There is no qualification, no doubt. With but a word from Peary the world waits for details, but none will be available until he arrives at Chateau Bay, Labrador. Both the old and new world are apprised of Peary's great achievement at practic- ally the same moment and the excite ment which followed attests the high pitch of interest aroused over this cli-
 
 comparatively small matter to ascer- tain that the April was April of this years, as the expedition did not start from New York until July. 1908.
 South Harpswell, Maine, Sept. G. One of the happiest women in the world tonight is Mrs. Peary to whom the word of her husbands success in reaching the pole, after twenty three years of study and hardship, was first brought by representatives of the As sociated Press. Saddened by bitter at tacks which for the past few days have been brought to her by every mail since the alleged interview pub lished in connection with the report that Dr. Cook reached the pole, Mrs. Peary' first denied herself to inter viewers. The representative was met by Miss Peary. her 16year- old daugh- ter and was told that Mrs. Peary could not be seen. but the correspond ent told her the good news and then Mrs. Peary hurried to the door. She exclaimed: God bless you. It is too good to be true" .-.-

but it seemed ages that we had to wait. My companion, by the aid of his knife, was able to remove the crystal from his watch and by feeling the hands with his fingers could tell the time It was II o'clock and I thought that if the Elks who were then toast ing their absent brothers. of whom l was one, could see my position it would thrill the heart of Elkdom sure enough. I would have given a fortune for a Navajo blanket to drap up in. We heard the shouts of the rescue party for at least fifteen minutes be- fore they could hear us. They were about l20 feet below the surface, while we were about seventy-five, and the sound travelled upward. Reaching us. our rescurers carried us out in their arms as if we were children. I now feel much better than I could expect after such extreme exposure. What I regret more than anything else con- nected with the incident is that I lost a monogram which I was wearing as a watch charm which was brought from Switzerland, and had been in our family for more than a hundred years. Being a stranger in your town, I want to say that am deeply grateful to all those who so heroically assisted in our rescue"
 MT. Price, the other man who was lost, who is employed by Babbitt brothers, when asked for his story of the affair said: 'I could add nothing to what MT. Malenpah has just told I,a+ T haI was harder on me, for in addition to the exposure I was fearful my wife, who was in the party when I entered the cave, would become hysterical from fear that I would never be brought, out alive.
