Care In Preparing Food.

In recent years scientists have
proved that the value of food is meas
ured largely by. it's purity; the re-
suit is the most stringent pure food
laws that have ever been known.
One food that has stood out promi-
nently as a perfectly clean and pure
food and which was as pure before
the enactment of these laws as it
could possibly be is Quaker Oats;
conceded by the experts to be the ideal
food for making strength of muscle
and brain. The best and cheapest OF
all foods. The Quaker Oats Company
is the only manufacturer Of oatmeal
that has satisfactorily solved the prob
lem Of removing the husks and black
specks which are so annoying when
other brands are eaten. If you are
convenient to the store buy the reg
ular size packages; if not near the
store, buy the large size family pack.

starvation, OF freezing torture and
blighted hopes that the story Of the
search for the pole has been written.
And it remained for DR.. Cook In
the year 1908 to achieve what had
become to be considered the impossi-
BILE, to accomplish what SO many
dauntless men had attempted, to win
immortal fame by actually penetrat-
ing to the north pole.
And also he played a sensational
part in a battle of giants In as pretty
story of intense rivalry between
strong men as has ever been imagined
by the most romantic fctionists. In
short, DR.. Cook fulfilled the dearest
wish of his financial hacker, John r.
Bradley, wealthy New Yorker, who
had registered a grim determination
that Commander Robert e. Peary
should not be the first man to reach
the pole. Bradley, a millionaire who
has hunted and climbed mountain
peaks with DR.. Cook, was confident
that Peary could be beaten to the pole.
Who was the man to do it?, That was
the question. Cook? The very man.
thought Bradley-the very man to back
with million dollars In cash for such
a venture.
And Cook made good.
An Account of the Trip.
During the early part of DR.. Cooks
trip into the unknown, where the one
certainty was the shadow of deaths

herds Of big game-musk oxen, bears,
etc. His eleven Eskinos and 103 dogs
were in prime condition as in Febru-

passed. Strictest economy in the use
of provisions was practiced, of course.
| He discovered a large area Of h1ther-
to unknown land, seemingly many
thousands of square miles in area, and
reached the northernmost limit Of
rocky formation. From that point there
stretched before him the gray expanse
of the northern polar ocean, dulljng to
the eye, stupendous to the imagination.

sands that softly and surely smother

! Overpowering winds often drove the
venturers into caverns or temporary

ever experienced by white man who
afterward lived In April DR.. Cook
was in latitude So degrees 81 minutes,
longitude 36 degrees q minutes. No
more land was to be seen. The ice

and threatened to sweep him far to
the eastward. Change of direction,
therefore, was frequently necessary.

nor bears nor even the minute crea-
lures of the sea were seen. Even they

And it was in April that the orbit OF

scores Of the worlds bravest men,
and, planting the American flag, he
claimed for the United States over
10000 square miles Of terrftory-a

heap.
News Came From Copenhagen.
The first news of DR.. Cooks discov-
cry to reach America came from the
colonial Office at Copenhagen, stating
that with a few Eslzimos, a sledging
party, DR.. Cook reached the pole on
April q, 1903. -s ~ ~ VI
The Copenhagen authorities had Oh
tanned their information in: q dispatch
from Lerwiek. Scotland, which also re-
lated that DR.. Cook was returning from
the polar seas on the steamship Hans
Egede, bound for Denmark.
DR.. Cook, who was surgeon of the
first Peary arctic expedition and who
is a mountain climber Of wide expe-
rience, disembarked from the auxil-
larry schooner yacht John r. Bradley
on Aug. q with his supplies at 'Etah,
on Smiths sound, latitude 70 degrees
north and about $50 miles from the
pole Smiths sound Is at the north
ern extremity of Baffin bay. His idea
was to winter somewhere In this gen.
eral section and early In the spring
cross Ellesmere Land and pushonward
and northward to the pole across the
desoIate polar sea, whence few men
ever. returned to tell the tale.
Provisions, clothing and ammunition
sufficient for two years were taken
ashore from the Bradley. The adVen-
turer's party consisted of one other
white man and about a dozen Esd-
mos. Mrs. Cook, the explorers wife,
accompanied him as far as Etah.
A Secret Expedition.
The Cook expedition was largely
secret one. Mr. Bradley, having
burning desire to have DR.. Cook out
strip Peary to the pole, insisted that
no chance should be taken of letting
Peary get wind Of the venture In
his opinion, Peary, who was already
within striking distance Of Etah,
would hasten his own operations If he
heard of Cooks plans and probably
secure all the available dogs at Etah,
so that Cook would be unable to start
over the ice on his sledges. "For
those reasons" says Mr.. Bradley, 1--WE
prepared our expedition very quietly
and got in on the ground floor"
On his return to North Sydney from
Etah on his yacht Mr.. Bradley stated
the situation, the chances and the
plans of Cook as follows:
From the polar sea there will be
only two sturdy EsRimos and their
dogs to go with Cook From Flies
mere Land three families of huskies
will go with the party, establishing
three stations along the route. The
idea Of taking more on the jaunt
across the ice fields does not meet
with our approval for various reasons,

tude in Smiths sound and from there
will cross Ellesmere Land and try to
reach the pole by the polar sea. This
means a journey Of over 600 miles,
but for various reasons, which / do
not care to speak about at present,
feel convinced DR.. Cook will land the
pole successfully.
Unlike the Peary expedition, Dr.
Cook has taken only two sleds. each
