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 eve 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

Peary gained a latitude of 81 degrees
6 minutes, or within 203 miles of the
pole.
Peary began his last polar trip in
July, 1908, in the steamship Roosevelt.
He planned to make a dash for the
pole over the ice in dog sledges. He
landed coal and supplies at Erik for
the relief of DR.. Cook. The last mes

Andree's Balloon Trip.
Andree and his balloon left for the
north pole on July Is, 1897, at 2:30
in the afternoon. They sailed away
from Danes island, Spitzbergen. The
expedition represented an expenditure
of $4,000 and the risking of three
lives = Andree's, FraenckelTs and
Strindberg's.
The distance to be travelled to the
pole from the starting point was GIT
miles; the distance to habitable land
on the other side of the pole 1880
miles. The volume capacity of the
balloon was 10000 cubic feet, its di-

On his first trip Peary crossed
Greenland in a sledge and demonstrate
ed that the country was not a projec-

island.
In 1895 Peary again crossed Green
land, but from lack of food could go
no farther. He and his party escaped
by eating their dogs.
Other trips into the polar regions
were made by Peary in 1896, 1887 and
1898.
In 1900 Peary reached 50 degrees
so minutes and in 1901 he tried for
the pole from Cape Hecla, Grinnell
land, but was driven back. In 1902
he tried again, reaching S4 degrees
II minutes, northwest of Cape Hecla.
Again, in 1906, Peary, who had then
risen to the rank of commander in the
United States navy, began a trip in
search for the pole in the steamship
Roosevelt. On this trip he broke the
record for penetrating farthest north

The contamination of the idea of
reaching the north pole has for more
than 400 years lured the daring spir-
its of the world. More than 1000 hui
man beings have given their lives to
the cause of finding the almost mac
cessible farthest northern point, while
suffering has been endured by hun
dreds of others which in another
cause might change the history of the
world.
The white races of Europe in the
fifteenth and sixteenth centuries were
eager for a new and speedier route to
India than the one then made use of.
These same races believed a speedieT
route to China existed. Columbus was
only a searcher for this route. There
is no positive historical evidence that
he sought more than this when he left
Spain. And he was preceded by
scores of searchers Drawer and wor-
thier than he in this quest.
Nansen's Famous Expedition.
Nansen reached So degrees Ia min
utes April Z, 1895. OF known explor-
,ers he was the first to draw that nea
to the pole. He endured a tempera-
ture of 80 degrees below zero. He
lived upon food of the vilest kind. So
far he advanced and then was driven
back for life.
In 1866, a few years after the magma
-charta became part of history, a band
of Morse sailors, men of Nansen's
type and race, lost themselves in the
wilds of Iceland. They reached as
far north as rs degrees 46 minutes.
That is, it is supposed they did, for
traces of their wreckage were found
a far north as this latitude centuries
safterward, but not beyond.
Next came John Davis, whose name
is now borne by the waters between
Greenland and the Cumberland PENN
ssula. He entered Bafin's bay and the
middle ice, and in 1856 was just on
the arctic circle at Cape Dyer. Two
years later he had only reached lati
tude ~ degrees IL minutes and there
he quit, with many warnings as to the
ilnpossibility of %conquering the ice.
Baffin followed him in 1916. He was

WOOL GROWER Hit
TRUTH ABOUT NEW TARIFF AND
ITS JueeLED SCHEDULE.
Figures Fail to Show the "Slight Re.
duction"-claim That Sheep
Raiser Is Protected Equally
Erroneous.

The New England wooden trust is
capitalized at a total of $370,000,000
Its annual outlay for wages and ma
terial is 1922, 900 5000. Its annual
product, according to its own valua-
ton, is worth 1881, O00, 900. Therefore
its annual profit is 5000, 900, oil al
most Is per cent. on its capitalization.
A government organ pretends that
the wool schedule has been slightly
reduced, and that congress felt
obliged to maintain the Dingley rate
to protect sheep r~aisers. Such a
statement is almost worthy of the
tricky Aldrich.
AS a matter of fact, under the last
five years of the Dingley tariff, 1913,
667,059 worth of wool was imported,
paying a duty of $4~7,559,546, or about
81 per cent. ad 'valorem. The new
tariff, with its juggled schedule, pro.
vides intricate specific duties and 81
per cent. ad valorem in addition. Does
that look like a reduction in the tariff
The statement that the wool tariff
protects the sheep raiser is equally
erroneous, so rroneou that one dis
likes to suspect deliberate intention
in making it.
In 1860 there we're in this country
three worsted mills and 1850 cardeC
wooden mills. In 1905 there were 22t
worsted mills in the big New England
wooden trust, while the number o
carded wooden mills had dropped tt
1872. The carded wool manufacture
uses short staple domestic woods. TIT
worsted mill, using the combint
process, requires long imported woods

Meaning of the silk Tariff.

The increased tariff on silk will re-
duce the quantity of silk imported,
and therefore reduce the government
revenue from duties on silk. 1t serves
no public good, and is intended solely
to enable the New England silk mills
to increase the price of their goods
and add to the 20 per cent. profit they
now maks out of the ONE of Ameri'
ca. Simply another instance of the
dexterity with which Senator Aldrich
tricked President Taft and laid taxes
