A LITTLE RED SPOT

A peculiar feature about poslam,
the new skin discovery is tina. no
one is asked to buy IL without
first sending to the Emergency
Laboratories No. 80 West Twenty
fifth street, New York City, for an
experimental sample and applying
same to an affected part of the
skin, about the size of q silver

treated in twenty-four fiours--a
remarkable visual demonstration

While poslam has been men
toned principally in connection
with the cure of eczema, the most
stubborn Of skin diseases. Il must
be remembered that when used for
itch, hives, pimples, blotches, acne,
Itching feet, scaly scalp. chatting Of
Infants and similar minor skin
troubles its action Is all the more
pronounced, results being seen
after an overnight application. AS

It is not difficult to can all
kinds of fruits and vegetables II
one studies sterilization, has the
necessary utensils, and knows how
Ito select fruits. Preservatives
should never be used, as they are
more or less dangerous.
The slightest disregard of any OF
the above rules in the canning or
preservation of fruits may cause
great loss, not only of time and
strength, but money as we'll. If
you fail 1t is because you have not
followed in every detail the sug-
|gestions given.
All fruits and vegetables to be
perfect should be canned the day
they are picked. If this is not pos
|sible when purchased at the stores
come as close to freshness as you
possibly can. They must be under,
rather than overripe, not bruised
and free from decay. They must be
cooked in the cans or jars in which
they are to be kept, and the two
best processes known is canning
by steam or hot water. Cans and
jars (and rubbers If you use them)
should be perfect. Test by putting
water in them and turning upside
down the day before you wish to
use them. Use new rubbers every
year. Use pars with covers which
ARE absolutely unaffected by any
known food acid and sweet and
clean as the jar itself. Do not
wait until after the fruit Is
brought to order the Jars. The
jars can better wait for the fruit.
The jars must be sterilized.
When the steam cooker is used
fill the water pan with cold water,
set the fruit jars in the cooker
over the fire, bring to the boiling
point and boil 10 minutes. Dip
the covers in boiling water for a
moment, when ready to use. A
large kettle or dishpan filled with
cold water and with folded pa
pers or towel in the bottom may
be used for this sterilizing.
The contents of every Jar must
be sterile-that is, sufficiently
boiled to destroy all the germ life
In 1t; otherwise they will surely
spoil, and one germ will spoil the
entire contents. Different fruits
and vegetables require different
time for cooking. as some germs
are tough and longer lived than
Others.
Do not can fruit in large guam
titles.
To Can Raspberries, Cherries
and Currants.-Select fruit as d.
rected in the above rules for can

HERE'S THE WAY
TO WASH LACE

To wash lace SO that 1t Will
look like new. put 1t in a glass
fruit jar filled with hot soap
suds and a little ammonia.
Shake the jar from time to
time, leaving the lace in the
jjar about IL hours. II very
badly soiled, the water should
be changed once. At the end
of the time rinse in clean
water by shaking 1t in the
jar well, then dry entirely by
putting between the palms OF
the hands after having folded
towel to absorb most of the
moisture. The lace will dry
in this way in a few minutes,
much sooner than one would
think. Do not touch 1t with
an iron, and when dry It will
be found perfectly free from
wrinkles. Narrow and wide,
fine and heavy laces can be
washed in this manner, which
is also an excellent way to do
little lace collars and lace
handkerchiefs, the center OF
the latter being later pressed
by q warm iron.

Any invention that saves time and labor
is bound to come into universal use. Wit
ness the sewing machine, the telephone,
the electric light and scores of Others.
They were received with doubt at first;
now every intelligent person takes advan-
tage of them.
So Fels-Naptha soap will some day be
used by every woman in this country who
washes clothes More than a million now
make it save them time, bother and hard
work, and the number is growing every
wash-day If you are not one OF these
million modern women, you will be some
day just as soon as you have courage;
enough to break away from old-fashioned
methods. Every week your delay means
another half day of backbreaking labor,
coal or gas wasted, danger of colds from
steam, unnecessary wear and tear on clothes.
With -Naptha you can wash in cold
or lukewarm water without hard rubbing,
and in half the time it takes by the wash
boiler method. Follow closely the direc-
tons on the red and green wrapper.

Sentiment Turns to Cook.

London, September l0-The immediate effect of the publication of Pearys brief account of his journey here is certain revulsion of feeling in favor of Dr. Cook and the adoption of more judicial and impartial attitude toward both explorers. The Daily Telegraph says:
 pr Cook has decided to face the music and in so doing has greatly redeemed his position in English eyes, and in large measure has made comment at the pres ent stage both unfair and unwse."
 One of the chief reasons for the revul- sion in Dr. Cooks favor is the unexpect- ed swiftness of Peary's sledge journey to and from the pole.
 The general opinion is that little of a convincing character will be obtained by an examination of the Eskimos and the evidence of real value will be secured only by an expert comparison of the two mems records of scientific observations.
 The Post In a special article suggests that owing to the known difficulty of se- curing accurate observations for latitude in the farthest north. especially in the early spring, when the suns altitude above the horizon measures only a few degrees, and taking into consideration he phenomenally rapid rate at which they travelled, both Cook and Peary may have miscalculated their positions, and adds:
 "It must be assumed that Peary guard ed against such errors.

REMARKABLE RISE
 FROM OBSCURITY

New York. September s.-From early manhood commanding figure in d widening circle of Wall street activity, 1t was in 1897 that Edward Henry Har- riman gained a foothold by which he lifted himself from the general run of Wall streets populace by coup in Union Pacific stock, after that stock had gone begging in the market.
 Later he took hold of the South ern Pacific and by lavish expenditure for improvements soon had that property on 8 dividend paying basis.
 Harriman's most spectacular per formance, which made his name famous, was in May. 1901, when he struggled with the Morgan and Hill interests for control of Northern Pacific.
 On May of that year the famous Northern Pacific corner resulted in the stock of the company going to 5000. At the show down" Hartman pro- duced t78.00O,0eO in stocks However, the ralll- Morgan people held the whip hand through bylaw of the company which permitted the retirement Of preferred stock at any time. Of his holdings $41,000,000 was preferred but Hartman secured compromise ana he and some of his agents were elected to directorates In the North ern Pacifc.
 Mr Hartman made his debut as a railroad magnate in 1883 when he was a director of the Illinois Central. He was then worth million dollars.
 In 1894 he attempted reorganiza- tion of the Erie and became involved with J. P. Morgan. In this struggle he was soundly whipped. Undaunteo' he set about to learn the railroad busi- ness in a way that would later revert to his own credit.
 MT. Hartman was born in Hemp stead, L. l., in humble circumstances, in July, 1S45.
 At Is year of age he found employ ment in Wall street and in 1870 he had bought a sect on the New York stock exchange and paid for 1t with money he had already made in speculation.
 He had close relations with Jim Fisk and Jay Gould during his early life and later emerged a broker on his ac- count
 When the insurance scandals of l9Ob broke, Hartman was director of the Equitable Life Assurance society.
 His friend, James Hagen Hyde, owned a controlling interest of the stock. Hartman was .lydes closest adviser in the light which was made to dis place Hyde in his control and many have said the result might have had different color. at least, had Hyde rot at the last moment, turned upon liar riman and charged him with being an enemy in the guise of friend seeking to take Hyde's place.
 When Thomas F. Kyan turned up a couple of months later as chief stock holder of the Equitable, Hartman said he was deeply disappointed.
 Harrimans wife was Miss Mary Averill of Rochester. whose father W. J. Averill, banker, was largely in- terested in the Rome. Amsterdam and Ogden railway, and had large means. Harriman's eldest daughter is the

Explorer Must Wait Ill NsxI Spring to Send For
 Eskimos
COOKS SUPPORTERS ARE GROWING IN NUMBER
University of Copenhagen confers De- gree Upon Cook Who Promises to Let the University See His
 Polar Records First.

Copenhagen, September 9-Dr. Fred erick A. Cook will sail from Christiansand Saturday morning on board the Scandi- navian-Amerlcan liner Oscar II for New York, where she is due about September 20 or 21. Probably Capt. Roald Amundsen will accompany him. Dr. Cook will leave here tomorrow night for Christiansand He has abandoned his proposed visit to Brussels on the advice of friends. The explorer is spending the night at Count Holstein's castle. With him are Dr. Egan, the American minister. and Miss Egan.
 Dr. Cook today asked the officials of the Danish-Greenland administration to arrange for the dispatch of one of their boats to Greenland at his expense to get the two Eskimos who accompanied him to the pole. The officials stated that 1t is now too late in the season for such an attempt and advised him that he must wait for spring. which ne will do. He pro- posed to Gould Brokaw who is here with his yacht, that they make a start for Greenland immediately. but Brokaw would not agree to this. Copenhagen papers are full of the controversy. Almost all of them support Dr. Cooks claim, but throw no new light on the subject Cap tain Amundsen is one of the strongest supporters of the explorer who is now backed up by Dr. Edward Bay, the zoologist of the expedition under Captain Sverdrup in the Tram in 1s9S-1e02 On that expedition Captain Sverdrup made highly important scientific Investigations and 1t was over the route mapped by Sverdrup that Cook made his Journey northward.
 pr. Bay today had a long interview wiht pr. Cook. at the conclusion of which he said, while at first he had doubted Cooks story he was now certaii of It's 1 truth so far as the route claimed to be | taken was concerned. Dr. Cook, he said. | gave him accurate description of places and things which no other white man except Bay had ever seen.
 Dr. Bay asserted that the Danes in Greenland were unfriendly to Commander Peary because they believed he treated the Eskimos badly and forced them to work for him.
 The University of Copenhagen today conferred upon pr. Cook the honorary degree of doctor of science Honoris causa) in the presence of more than 1000 people, who cheered the explorer heartily In thanking the rector, Dr. Torp, for the honor, Dr. Cook said that the university should be the first to see his records.
