Throughout his college career at
Bowdoin and in the years following he
made a close study of Arctic explora-

the subject held for him deepening

Says Famous Arctic Explorers Observations
and Report on the Polar Regions Will
Confirm His Own.

New York, Sept. 6.-Peary has
reached the North Pole. 1t has been
doubly discovered. From tho bleak
coast Of Labrador Commander Peary
today dashed the news that he
had attained his goal In the far north.
while at the same moment, In Den
mark. DR.. Frederick A. Cook was be-
Tag dined and lionized by royalty for
the same achievement.
Yankee grit has conquered the
frozen north and there has been Gre
ated a coincidence such rs the world

have planted the flag of their country
IN the land Of ice which man has
sought 10 penetrate for four centuries.
and each ignorant Of the others con-
quest has sent within a period of five
days 4 laconic message of success.
Cook, In his first message TO his
countrymen, was brief but non-commlt-

of controversy around the world. To-

In the land of ice, and unheard from
since August, 1908, startled the world
by similar message sent from Indian
Harbor, Labrador. There was no
qualifications; It left no doubt.
With but a word from Peary. the
world waits for details. but none will
be available until he arrives at Cha
teau Bay. Labrador.
Both the old and the new world
were apprlsed of Peary's great
achievement practically at the same
moment, and the excitement which
followed attests TO the high pitch of In
terest aroused over this climax of
mans perseverance.
Newspaper extras were rushed from
the press, and those who read mar
veled
1t was comparatively a simple mat
ter to ascertain that the April 6 re.
ferTed 10 by Peary was April of this
year. as his expedition did not start
from New York until July Z. 1908.
From the time Peary wrote his last
letters home from his depot of supplies
at Etah In August. 1908, until he
flashed the magic words from Indian
Harbor. nothing was known OF the
fight he had been making across the
frozen crust Of the north.

said today;
Holding the matter In abeyance
does not imply any especial disbelief
in the manner in which Cook com.
pares himself with Peary and others
in connection with the claim OF
achievement Now, there were others
with Shackleton and Peary, and
neither claimed anything as big as Dr.
Cook has claimed. DIR. Cook says the
reason for his success was that he
made the trip at a different time of the
year than any one else and he added
that he found the Ice very rough and
that there were several leads Of open
water which bothered him. Cook and
Peary went at the same time OF the
year. PeaTy reached tho 'farthest
north at almost the very day that
Cook says he reached the pole. Peary
left Greenland about the same time
that Cook says he left Greenland.

Fels-Naptha Soap won't gather your
soiled clothes, put them to soak, rinse them
and hang them out on the line.
But that's about all it leaves you to do
with the weekly washing.
1t takes the place of boiling and hard
rubbing and takes all the dread out Of
washday.
1t saves your making hot fire because
Fels-Naptha Soap cleanses the clothes in
cool or lukewarm water.
No stewing over hot suds.
No roughening or reddening Of the
hands.
Isn't it worth while? Both in Winter
and Summer.
More than million women are doing
their washing with Fels-Naptha Soap every
week and thanking their lucky stars that
THEY'VE found a so-much-easier way.
Better join them now.
All that's necessary is to get cake of

on the red and green wrapper.
