CUTICURA CURED HIM.
Eczema Came on Legs and Ankles
Could Not Wear Shoes Because
OF Bad Scaling and itching.

II have been successfully cured of
dry eczema. I was inspecting the re.
moval of noxious weeds from the edge
of a river and was constantly in the
dust from the weeds. At night l
cleansed my limbs but felt a prickly
sensation. I paid no attention to it
for two years but I noticed a scum
on my legs like fish scales. I did not
attend to it until it came to be too
itchy and sore and began getting two
running sores. My ankles were all
sore and scabby and I could not wear
shoes. I had to use carpet and felt
slippers for weeks. I got a cake Of
the Cuticura Soap and some Cuticura
Ointment. In less than ten days I
could put on my boots and in less than
three weeks I was free from the con.
founded itching. Capt. George P. Bliss.

Why We Are Stronger.

The old Greeks and Romans were
great admirers of health and strength;
their pictures and statuary made the
muscles of the men stand out like
cords.
AS a matter of fact we have ath-
letes and strong men-men fed on
fine strength making food such as
Quaker Oats-that would win in any
contest with the old Roman or Greek
champions.
It's a matter of food. The finest food
for making strength Of bone, muscle
and nerve is fine oatmeal. Quaker
Oats is the best because it is pure, no
husks or stems or black specks. Farm.
ers' wives are finding that by feeding
the farm hands plentifully on Quaker
Oats they get the best results in work
and economy. If you are convenient
to the store, buy the regular size pack

ney to the north pole, but also of a
remarkably fast sledge trip owe the
ice of the open polar sea.
The dispatch says that the Roose-
welt passed the winter of 19OS-19O9 at
Cape Sheridan, on the coast of Grant
Land. The vessel had threaded the
comparatively narrow channels, sew
eral hundreds of miles in length, lead
ing from Cape Sabine to the Arctic
ocean.
This journey is apt to be difficult
and sometimes impossible, but the
conditions were evidently favorable.
The ship that disappeared in the fog
while the crew of Peary's auxiliary
steamer Erik were watching it's de-
parture from Etah made a good pas
sage through the long channels, and
arrived safely or the shores of the
sea, where the explorer was to start
on his sledges for the north pole.
But at Cape Sheridan Peary was not
as far west as he probably had hoped
to be. He had announced his inten-
ton, in the previous year, of making
his sledge route to the pole along
some meridian much further to the
west of his route in 1906, when he
made the highest north attained up
to that time-S7 d. 6 m.
On that occasion he was greatly i'm
peded by the rapid drift of the ice to
the east which a little retarded his
progress north, and worse still, car
ried him SO far to the east that he had
to make his landing on the coast of
North Greenland, many days march
from the Roosevelt, his base of sup

A great obstacle and the one that
undoubtedly prevented him from
reaching the pole in 1906 was the wide

of them so long that he could not get

Peary's summary seems to show
that he was a little over thirty-fve
