Calling DR.. Cook an
Impostor.

Battle Harbor, Via Cape Ray, N. F.,
Sept. 12.-My wire to you dated Sep
TENDER 10 was sent with a full under
standing of its meaning. 1t was not in
tended for publication, though I have
no serious objection to its publication.
Had it been 80 intended I should have
modified the expression "Has handed
the public a gold brick" to something
more elegant but not less foricble or
significant.
i have stated my position in regard
to Cooks main proposition as explicitly
and unequivocally as my command of
the English language permits.
AS regards details of my evidence in
refutation of Cook g story, am sure
edge the force of the situation when l
say these details will await cor

of Cook g journey over his signature.

mentary and contradictory information

PEARY.
When Mr.. Peary's dispatch of Sep.
tember 10 was received by the New
York Herald message was sent to
Battle Harbor inviting him to present
through the Herald any proof he may
have that DR.. Cook did not reach the
north pole. The accompanying dis.
patch is Mr.. Peary's reply.
Cook in New York Sept. 21.
Christiansand, Norway, Sept. H.
DR.. Frederick A. Cook, just before sail
ing for home, said:
elf have handed out gold brick
have gold bricked Captain Sverdrup
Commander Hoxgaard, King Frederick
the Danish and Norwegian public, the
president of the United States, my
benefactors, my friends and my family
and am deserving of utter ostracism by
all decent people,
He is due in New York September 21
Naval officers Censure Peary.
The prevalent opinion in Washing
ton, even among naval officers, is moi
only sympathetic with DIR. Cook, but il
inclined to be antagonistic to Peary
Almost without exception officials OF
the navy resent his action in calling {
fellow explorer an impostor before &C
quainting himself with the evidence
They regard this as n reflection upoi
the navy's reputation for fair play.

In one case certain district wanted a certain teacher. Miss Field told the teacher she would get the place for her if she would go a year to the Normal school. whicn she did.

 Child Takes to Farm.
 MT Joyner thought two things were very noticeable in Page county, one the iiohiOhSSo Ol iIC COuHlly SCboOi Witl ltS one teacher, and the other the creation of a farm life atmosphere, both of which are very important. They make the child feel that the farm business is the best business if they come from the farm home.
 P. P C1axton said that Miss Field had unconsciously made the home life the basis of the school life, and the children are taking the home life to school. An other important thing was the fact that the county superintendent knew the children In every school. One moral Is to get the right sort of coundty superin- tendents.
 Mir Powers of Mississippi was im- pressed with the teachers and the one room buildings. Both contribute to the good of the whole.
 Mr. Gunnels of Alabama found that as a result of the teachings in the schools the little children even know about tue business of their fathers and revere it.

PLANS MADE FUR
 ROAD EXTENSION
Union Springs and Northern
 Will Come to Rockford
PERMANENT SURVEYBEGINS
Presidents w. Nj. Blunt Returns From East With All Financial Arrange. ments Made and Will Push
 Road Northward at Once.

Union Springs. October 23.-(Speclal.)- President W. M. Blunt of the Union Springs and Northern railroad has com pleted plans for the extension of his road to Rockford in Coosa county.
 Permanent survey for the road has al- ready begun and the actual construction will begin at once. MT. Blunt has just returned from the east, where he made final arrangements for the financing of the enterprise.
 The Union Springs and Northern has been in operation from Union Springs to Fort Davis, on the seaboard Air Line railroad, seven miles north, for nine years. The business has been success ful. MT. Blunt built the road and has made an enviable reputation for him- self in railroad and financial circles.
 The extension to Rockford will go by way of Milstead on the Western of Ala bama. It will also touch at Tallassee. It is understood that MT. Blunt has prac- tically closed a deal for the Short Mill line operating between milstead and TaI- lassee and will use the tracks of that road.
 It Is believed here that MT. Blunt has an eye on the Birmingham district and will later try to push his road into Bir- mingham.

Constipation And
 Appendicitis
The Latter Usually Caused By The Former, Which, In Turn, Has It's
 Orioin In Intestinal Indigestion.

Chronic constipation is disease which is about as prevalent as dyspepsia and indigestion. Nearly every one suffers from it occasionally, but there are millions of people who endure 1t habitually, and who are accustomed to resort to the use of laxatives and cathartics daily.
 Many people seemed to have developed a perfect mania for taking pills, and in- stead of trying to ascertain the latent cause of the disease, and removing it by appropriate treatment, they are content to continue the reckless use of laxatives. aperients, drastic cathartics and violent purgatives, until finally inflammation of the bowels occurs, which reaches the ap- pendix, and the result Is appendicitis.
 In Investigating and tracing the causa- tive factors of constipation and its fre- quent sequel. appendicitis, 1t has been noted by physicians that the majority cf cases were preceded and accompanied by long-standing gastro-intestinal indges- tion.
 The idea that appendicitis is brought on by foreign bodies, such seeds, etc., be- coming lodged in the appendix, Is an ex- ploded theory. It is now definitely known that constipation is the most prolific cause of this dread disease, while the constipa- ton itself is previously induced by in- testinal indigestion, or amylaceous dys-
 
 so the relation between cause and effect is readily seen and appreciated.
 The absurdity of attempting to cure con- stipation by the use of physic should be apparent to every one. Laxative drugs and powerful purgatives will never cure a disease of this sort, and those who make frequent or regular use of them will, sooner or later, set up an inf1amma- tory condition of the intestinal system. -Jz Ht- -tNv never be annoyed with chronic constipa- tion, and when this trouble does exist, instead of slugging the system with pills, liquid laxatives, candy cathartcs etc, use remedy which will cure the gastro- intestinal indigestion, and you will find that the constipation no longer bothers you, and with its removal, the risk of de- yeloping appendicitis will be reduced to the minimum.
 STUART'S DYSPEPSIA TABLETS have been the means of curing numerous cases of constipation by first curing the in- testna indigestion. They digest every kind of food. single grain being capable of digesting 3000 grains of alimentum, and in addition to pepsin and other powerful digestiyes, they also contain diastase. which converts starch into sugar. and readily cures amylaceous dyspepsia and intestinal indigestion.
 IT you are sufferlng from dyspepsia, constipation, and, in fact, indigestion of any kind, don't run the risk of getting appendicitis. but strike at the root of the trouble-the original cause--by using Stu arts Dyspepsia Tablets. which will quick ly rid you of all functional disorders of 1 the alimentary tract
