CHOSE FEASIBLE ROUTE.

washington, N. J., Sept. 2-Dr. Thomas Dedrick, who was surgeon with the Peary arctic expedition in 1sss-1s02, and lived for a year with the EsQulmaux at Etah, Greenland, said ioday that pr. Cook in reaching the North Pole by the west coast of Ells- mereland, had chosen the most feasi- ble route.
 Dr. Dedrick said:
 "Dr. Cooks polar expedition is re- markable, not only for its results but for its utilization of the most practi- cable plan His grasp of the fact that I have advocated-that a man with Esouimaux can live indefinitely on the west coast of Ellsmere Land and come out at any point he chooses. shows Dr. Cooks knowledge of Arctic conditions.
 q know Esquimaux who left Etah and lived nine years on the west coast at different points each year. EsQui- maux furnished me with maps of the west coast of Ellsmere Land before Captain Sverdrup ever put foot on the shore Their maps are identical with Sverdrup's later maps.
 ''When Peary feared a westward drift on approaching land and spoke of the possibility of coming out on the west coast of Elismere Land, I advo- cated his using that channel and said that I had no fear were l to arrive with Esquimaux on the west coast with no supplies, and claim that men could live there indefinitely. 1t is a game channel, heavily Esquimaux populated. Cook grasped the right idea. Not only so, hut he bent all his energies pole ward"

IT WORKS
The LabOrer Eats Food That Would
 Wreck an Onlce Man.


 Men who are actively engaged at hard work can sometimes eat food that would wreck a man who Is more close- ly confined.
 This is illustrated in the following story:
 T was for twelve years clerk in a store working actively and drank cof- fee all the time without much trouble until after entered the telegraph ser vice.
 There I got very little exercise and drinking strong coffee. my nerves grew unsteady and my stomach got weak and I was soon a very sick max. quit meat and tobacco and in fact l stopped eating everything which I thought might affect me except coffee. but still my condition grew worse and I was all but a wreck.
 T finally quit coffee and commenced to use Postum a few years ago and l am speaking the truth when I say my condition commenced to improve inn mediately and today I am well and can eat anything I want without any bad effects, all due to shifting from cof- fee to Postum.
 "I told my wife today believed l could digest a brick If I had a cup of postum to go with it.
 "We make 1t according to directions, boiling it full twenty minutes and use good rich cream and 1t Is certainly de- licious."

A Popuiar sunarntitton.

fhe Providence Journal.
 The bad luck supposed to attach to Friday is said to be traceable to the worship of the goddes Freya, the Venus of the North. who felt herself slighted If anyone began a journey, on this, her festival. In punishment for the dtshonor thus brought upon her Freya was wont to direct misfortune to assail the offender. so that 1t came to be thought that Friday was an un. lucky time to embark on any enter prise, although most marriages in Scotland are said to take place on that day. In Walshs "curioslties of Pop ular Customs" Is told the story of the brig. Friday of Wilmingham. whose builder defied superstition by giving her this whimsical name and launch- ing her on Friday. He also sent her upon her first voyage on the sixth day of the week, but on the succeeding Fri day home bound vessel Saw the huh of brig pitching heavily in the trough If the sea, while her crew ran about the deck, cutting loose Nthe wreck of ue masts that dragged and bumped alongside" This was the last of the
 F riaay," concerning whose fate the shipbnilders wife merely said when she hesT,l 1t. I told thee so. Ieaac. This Is all thy sixth day doins. Now thee see the conseduences.'
 Another reason for the supposed un. iuckinsss of Friday Hes tn the cruci- fxion of Jesus on that day. It Is from a similar historical source. indeed. that the thirteenth" superstition is believ- ed have sprung; a natural distaste grew up for the number representing the circle of the disciples with the ad- dition of Judas. Yet 1t seems as If by this time the world might be willing to forget its ancient superstitions and regard every day and every number

MUST HAVE LICENSES
 OR GO TO A PRISON

Nashville, Tenn. Sept. 2.--Govern- ment license or prison. This ia the uitimatum of internal Revenue Collec- tor R. S. Sharp to the sellers of malt liquors of Nashville.
 According to him all dealers who sell malt or alcoholic liquors contain ing one-half of one per cent. of alco- hol or more. and have no license from the government will feel the heavy hand of the law. He will sond his officers out to round up the delin- auents. These he will force to trial in the general court.
 what the judge of the court will do is of course not for him to dictate but he win try the prison remedy.
 United States government liquor 1i- eenses were due July l. August the penalty went on. It is a month since the penalty for being delinquent ac- crued and the collector holds that the government has been extremely liberal in allowing time. He holds further that there is no excuse for dealers not having secured II ses and they will have to stand the consequences.

Scientists Will study Observations
 Made by pr. Cook.
 Winnipeg, Man. Sept. 2-The ques. tion as to what proofs Dr. Cook would bring back with him to substantlate his claim that he had discovered the North Pole. was asked of number of distinguished British scientists. who are attending the British Association for the Advancement of Science. Col. Sir Duncan Johnstone, President of the (IeographIcal Section. said:
 Tt would be easy to prove if the pole had been reached by studying observations made. It would be quite impossible for observations to be made to deceive a scientist The achieve ment is one of the greatest In the his- tory of exploration.
 Professor Sir Joseph Larmor said:
 Tt would be impossible to disprove that A man had been at the pole If he said he had and if he had departed in the right direction and returned from inc right direction. Nansen. if he had SO desired, might have said he had attained the pole, as he went so near the outside world could not have prov en him wrong.

 New York, Sept. 2-Preparations al- ready are afoot here to make the home coming of Dr. Frederick A. Cook an event of national. and possibly in- ternational imporance.

 Among the most notable of those who in all probability will be here to greet Dr. Cook on his return. will be Lieutenant Shackleton. the intrepid Englishman. whose recent explorations in the Antarctic, during which he suc- ceeded in pushing nearer to the South Pole than had any previous explorer made him a figure of worldwide prominence.
 Captain Bradley s. Osborn. Secretary of the Arctic Club. said tonight that the explorer is not expected for sew eral weeks.
 'He is due in Copenhagen in three days" says Captain Osborne. land if he came straight home, would arrive Tn New York about the middle of Sep temher, but his friends believe that he may make several stops on the way home.

 Fiala Also Talks.
 Anthony Fiala, commander of the Ziegier expedition of 1so3-1905, agreed with Mir. Bradley In placing confidence in the reports of pr. Cooks success. "This will not put an end to polar ex' petitions" he said today. "Other ex- petitions will push their way north. ward.
 "Dr.. Cook says he has discovered land in the Far North. If the land il there, others will find 1t and verify his story. If 1t Is not there, his story will be branded as false"
 Asked If the conditions reported by Dr. Cook at the pole were as he expect. ed, Mir. Fiala replied:
 II did not look for the discovery of any arctic continent. but I did believe that land would be found.
 "rhe only thing that surprises me Tn pr. Cooks story is the mention Of glacial ice. This may cover shoaI places or low lying islands"

STILL DOUBTS STORY.
Admiral Melville Pronounces Report .
 Fake.

Admfrai Melville Pronounces Report .
 Fake.
 Philadelphia Sept. 2.--tAfter reading the dispatches today. I am more con vinced than ever that the reported dis covery of the North Pole is fake was the emphatic declaration of Rear Admiral George Melville, U. s. A, TO- tired, who Is intimate with the north : ern regions and is familiar with the progress of expeditions ,thither within the last forty years.
 T do not mean to say that Dr. Cook is a fakfr. I do not know him person. ally. But from my experiences would say that there is nothing to confirm the original dispatches. Some of the best equipped expeditions have cost from s150.00o to $200,0o0. I know that pr. Cook had no such outfit.
 There Is nothing in the story thus far to indicate that Dr. Cook has found why the reported story of his expedi- ton could not have been written by any one who had reached within 100 miles of the pole. I sould sit in my office and invent observations of all sorts. Yet no one can positively deny the truthfulness of D.. Cooks story. have heard that the Royal Geographic Society is reported to have discredited 1t. If this is SO, I wil reiterate more SOS@ may have discovered the North Pole, il being a possibility. yet 1t is highly i'm probable.
 According to Dr. Cooks story, nc mention is made of the travel from April 14 to April 21, 1908. His bear ings on the former date. 1t is reported SS degrees, 21 minutes north latitude roughly speaking. a distance of about 100 miles remained before him after April 1t.
 An average of about fourteen miles per day thereafter mast have been maintained. It was my experience in the Jeanette expedition retreat (187S- S1) that after marching thirty miles one day. we found we had actually gone l-2 miles.
 "rhe drift of the ice was in an oppo- site direction
 'sThe talk of having killed musk oxen is not new. These animals were killed years ago. The apparent case of Dr. Cooks travel near the pole is what inclines me strongly to discredit the story. With a pack of dogs and sleds in Siberia, over smooth snow, the best distance I ever made was fifty miles A day. Ice travel is much more dim culfp
