ITCHED FOR TWELVE YEARS.
Eczema Made Hands and Feet Swell, Peel and Get RaW-Arms Affected, Too-Gave Up All Hope of Cure.
Quickly Cured by Cuticura.

T suffered from eczema on my hands, arms and feet for about twelve years, my hands and feet would swell, sweat and itch, then would become callous and get very dry. then peel off and get raw. tried most every kind of salve and ointment without success. I tried several doctors, but at last gave up thinking there was cure for eczema. A friend of mine insisted on my trying the Cuticura Remedies, but I did not give them a trial until I got so bad that had to do something. I secured a set and by the time they were used I could see a vast improvement and my hands and feet were healed up in no time. I have had no trouble since. Charles T. Bauer. Volant, Pa, Mar.

Primarily and as it's etymology shows the verb to orient means to set an object in exact adjustment to the east, thence by natural corollary to set it true with all the cardinal points of the compass. Then in the deriyatiVe and topical signification it is used to describe the attitude of a mind duly adjusted to any standard of knowledge, morals or life.

A DREAM FoR CENTURIES
Some of the Most Noteworthy At

Some of the Most Noteworthy At
tempts to Reach the North Pole.
The dream of finding the North Pole
has for centuries lured explorers,
scientists and daring adv%enturers.
Whether this dream has now become a
reality by the achievement of DIR.
Frederick A. Cook, of Brooklyn, rests
thus far upon the reports cabled from
Copenhagen, apparently through an
official source.
Some of the most recent or note
worthy attempts to reach the North
Pole are enumerated below:
Walter Wellman, an American, left
the Island of Spitzbergen for the pole
in a balloon Aug. Is. 1909. His airship
became disabled after he had travelled
80 miles. and he was forced to return.
Peary Now In Polar Regions.
In 1906 Commander Robert e. Peary.
U. s. N, reached 81 degrees 6 minutes,
equivalent to about 203 miles from the
pole. Commander Peary is now in the
polar regions on another expedition. A
relief ship was sen out a month ago
to endeavor to pick him up. He started
from Sydney. N. s., July II. 1908.
On Sept. 8. 1905, Captain Ronald
Amundsen. a Norwegian completed
the first voyage through the north
west passage. He left Christiana on
the Gjoa, June II, 1903. and arrived at
H~erschele Island in the Arctic ocean
In Sept. of 1905.
In 1904, Baron Toll. a Russian, led

Siberia, but all the members persisted

SUCCESSFUL AND WELL"
Or. Cook Sends Measuring Message to
His Wife.

H. NUN O(flAS sSN&oSGhffS "'NSeSEN -
His Wife.
New York, Sept. 2.-"Successful,
well. Address Copenhagen. FRED"
Full of meaning, If successful" were
interpreted to indicate that be had
reached the North Pole, the foregoing
cable message. exasperating in its
briefness, was received in New York
from DR.. Frederick A. Cook, the Amer
lean explorer, whom the latest cable
advices credit with having accomplish
ed what no man ever did. The mess
age was sent, not to any scietiie 50
cfety nor tc any of his associates in
terested in his expedition from a sciens
tifc viewpoint, but to his wife, who
has been counting the days and hours
and praying for his safety since his de-
parture from this city on July 4, 1907.
Brief as it was, it was the first news
that she had had from her interpia
husband since March II, 1903, when
he wrote her from Cape Hubbard, on
the edge of the polar ice sea, on the
northwest side of Ellsmere land. At
that time he advised his companion,
Rudolph FRANKIE. then stationed NJ
Etah, Greenland. with supplies, to wait
there until June for his return. but In
the event of DR.. Cooks failure to APP
pear to proceed to America FRANKIE
waited as instructed, but as DR.. Cool,
failed to come back he caught the
Peary auxiliary ship and reached New
York last fill. Since that time DR..
Cooks whereabouts have been a mys
terry, although members OF the Arctif
club in this city, viewing the situation
optimistically, were inclined to think
that he had reached the pole, despite
his long silence.
The message from DR.. Cook to his
wife was dated at Lerwick, Shetland
Islands, the first available point of
transmission in the regular steamship
course between Greenland ports and
Copenhagen. whittier he is bound. Be
cause of its %briefness, the assumption
is that the message was sent primarily
to assure his wife of his safety, and
not to apprise the world of his dis
covery.
