Instad of destroying paper bags
keep them in a convenient place
near the kitchen stove or sink
and you will soon see the many
sues to which they may be put.
Instead of keep a stove rag, 1t
is much cleaner to put the hand
inside a paper bag and wipe the
stove and then burn the bag.
When cleaning up the dishes
after a meal it is@very easy to
scrape the dry scraps into a paper
bag, close it and drop into the
garbage can. This helps to pre-
serve the cleanliness of the latter.
A heavy paper bag makes a
good clothespin bag, when you
haven't better one, as it can be
pinned to the apron with a cou-
pie of clothespins so as to hold 1t
open, and it possesses the advan-
tage of never having to be washed
or mended.

A.: Don't use your nails to clean
pots and kettles. When you wash
the floors, first treat your nails
with a liberal coat of cold cream
or vaseline, which will keep them
from getting black, and also will
lnourish them. Be careful when
about your daily duties not to
touch the end of the nail with
hard substances. Rubber gloves
will help a great deal, but proper
care will do more.

often to the suns rays. A good

up to II years of age I was not

years noticed no bad effects from it's
use, but in time it began to affect me
unfavorably. My hands trembled, the
muscles of my face twitched, my men,
tai processes seemed slow and in other
ways my system got out of order.
These conditions grew so bad at last
that had to give up coffee altogether.
my attention having been drawn to
Postum, I began its use on leaving of
the coffee, and it gives me pleasure to
testify to its value. ind it delicious

along the northwest coast of Heiberg
Land to a point indicated on the map
(Sverdrup's Cape Northwest).
From here they went west across
the ice, which was level and covered
with snow, offering good going, to a
low island which they had seen from
the shore of Heiberg Land at Cape
Northwest On this island they
camped for one sleep.
The size and position of this island
as drawn by the first boy, was criti-
cised by the second boy as being too
large and too far to the west, the sec.
ond boy calling the attention of the
first to the fact that the position of
the island was more nearly in line
with the point where they had left
Heiberg Land (Cape Northwest) and
the channel between Amund Ringnes
Land and Ellef Ringnes Land.
From this island they could see two
lands beyond (Sverdrup's Ellef Ring.
mes and Amund Ringnes Lands). From
the island they journeyed toward the
(Amund Ringnes Land. passing a
small island which they did not visit.
Arriving at the shore of Amund
Ringnes Land, the Eskimos killed q
deer as indicated on the chart.
The above portion of the state
ment of the Eskimo boys covers
the period of time in which DR.. Cook
claims to have gone to the pole and
back. and the entire time during
which he could possibly have made
any attempts to go to 1t.
If it is suggested that perhaps DR..
Cook got mixed and that he reached
the pole, or thought he did, between
the time of leaving the northwest
coast of Heiberg Land at Cape North
west, and his arrival at Ringnes Land,
where they killed the deer, we must
then add to the date of DR.. Cooks let

Thomas Hubbard, the subsequent four
or five sleeps at that point, and the
number of days required to march

nautical miles,, which would advance
his date of departure from the land
to at least the 25th of March, and be
prepared to accept the claim that DR..
Cook went from Cape Northwest
(about latitude eighty and a half de-
grees north) to the pole, distance of
five hundred and seventy geographical
miles, in twenty-seven days.
After killing the deer they then trav-
eled south along the east side of Ring
mes Land to the point indicated on the
chart, where they killed another deer.
They then went east across the
sc nth part of Crown Prince Gustav
sea to the south end of Heiberg Land,
then down through Norwegian bay,
where they secured some bears, but
not until after they had killed some of
their dogs, to the east side of Ora

Dorothy and the Stork.

When little Dorothy Walworth was
introduced to her baby brother in the
First Methodist Episcopal Parsonage
in Yonkers, N. Y, she manifested in
tense interest, but was not astonished.
Il knew he was coming" she ex-
claimed; 81 knew it,"
Pressed for an explanation, the five
year-old said: 81 was down to the
Bronx zoo the other day and saw
the stork in his cage. recognized
him by the black stripes on his wings
that papa said were there. Well, when
the stork was standing alone on one
leg, went close to him and whispered
in his ear that I wanted him to bring
me baby brother or sister. He didn't
say anything, but knew he would do
it, because he bent his head toward
me and winked an eye."
