The Plain Truth

Digesting food alone does not
cure Indigestion or other stomach
troubles any more than a cathartic
cures constipation-is temporary
relief only. But digesting the food,
healing and cleansing the stomach
and intestines does restore them
to the normal condition, and in that
way a permanent cure can be
made. Powell's Stomach Remedy
does this. 1t is the only product
that will do this; it relieves the
first dose, and is very pleasant to
take. Powell's Stomach Remedy
can be depended upon; it does
make permanent cures. Do not ac-
cept of any substitutes. All up 70
date druggists sell it.

Two Americans Bring

Story Of the Worlds
Quest for North
Pole

New York.-Two great Americans
have found the North Pole, each in
dependently of the other-and each
within a span of five brief days has
first flashed to civilization the news
which centuries have waited to hear.
DR.. Frederick A. Cook of Brooklyn
reached the pole, accompanied only
by two Esquimaux on April 81,
1908. He has. just returned to Cop
enhagen by steamer, closely follow
Ing the triumphant announcement of
what he has achieved. Ovations
await him on every hand.
In July, 1908, Americas most in
trepid Arctic explorer, Robert E.
Peary, left this country to find the
poqe-or Cook. Without meeting
Cook or learning of his success,
Peary on April 6 of the present year
made good the effort in witch he has
spent almost a lifetime, and himself
reached the northernmost point in
the world. His message of triumph
follows the other by only five days.
The search for the north pole is an

Peary Plants Flag In leo.
Peary planted flag on the highest
pinnacle of the ice field and left q
bottle containing record of his ex-
petition. On the return trip an ice
bridge spanning a lead gave way with
the Peary party and set them adrift
on foe. They were carried east
steadily for five days until they were
obliged to use their sledges for fuel
and some of. the dogs for food. They
finally succeeded in crossing the lead
on young ice which sagged with every
step. On May IL Peary and his COM
rades landed on the north coast of
Greenland, and there met one of the
supporting divisions which also had
drifted to the land on an ice foe.
Until Peary's third attempt the duke
of the Abruzzi's expedition held the
record in the struggle to gain the
pole. On March %, 1900, the duke
and his party were at latitude Of sc
degrees 80 minutes north. Unlike
Peary and DR.. Cook, the dukes party
made their attempt with sledges from
the north shore Of Franz Josef land.
establishing the base of supplies there.
When they started out they figured
they would have to make 480 miles in
IS days.
Certainly" said Capt. Cagni. who
was with the duke on the expedition,
ut seemed OVERLOAD, even to ourselves,
to count upon daily march Of more
than ten miles"
After the dukes party got under
way they found actually that they
made less than ten miles day, al
though those figures were exceeded
a little on the march back.
The duke Of the Abruzzi's party
started north from Franz Josef land
February Is. They encountered vio-
lent winds and bitter cold. On March
90 three men were sent back to estab,
lish communication with the base Of
supplies. They never more were
seen. It was on May II that the dukes
party reached the latitude Sc degrees
and SO minutes There two cylinders
containing record Of the expedition
were left. The party did not get back
to Teplitz bay until June %.

Rescue Efforts Add to knowledge.
In all, about Is rescue expedition,
set out from England and America
between the years 1S4S and 1854, and
each added to the general fund of arc
tic geography. Finally traces of the
missing ships and crews were discov

three sledging parties from Sir Leo
pold McClintock's relief expedition dis
covered all along the west and south
coast of King Williams island the re
mains of articles and skeletons that
told the story of the disaster.
A record was discovered in a cairh
at Point Victory which briefly told the
history of the expedition up to April
Is, 1s4s. The record tells the tale Of
Franklin's death and the beginning OF
the end in these words:

and Erebus were deserted on April

Tho inh IT,
John led to the discovery of 1000
miles of coast line. Among the e1
peditiones which started out from
America as a result Of the interest
aroused were those of De Haven and
Griffith, 1850, and of Dr. Kane, in 1853
and later of DR.. Hayes and Hall.
Andree Only Serious BaIIoonist.
The only really serious balloon at
tempt that ever has been made to
reach the pole was that of Andree, a
Norwegian, and that probably has
ended fatally. Andree started from
Danes island, Spitzbergen, on July IL.
1897. In the balloon with him were
D. s. T. Strindberg and Herr
Fraenckell. His balloon was 81 feet
in diameter with capacity of 10000
cubic feet.
He estimated that he would reach
the pole in six days, provided favor.
able and constant wind was blowing
Two days after he departed a message
was received from Andree, by carrier
pigeon. The message said that at
noon, July IL, they were in latitude
1922 degrees and longitude 1916 de.
grees east, and making good progress
to the east. ten degrees southern.
A year later Eskimos brought into
Hudson bay pieces of cordage and
basket work which are supposed to
have belonged to the Andree balloon.
Several expeditions have been sent
in search of him without result.

Peary started on his sledge jour.

weeks earlier in the season-February
20. 1906, to be exact. Peary left land
ut Point Moss. Peary had 81 Eskimos
and 120 dogs. He divided his party
into several divisions, his idea being
to keep in touch through these differ.
ent divisions with base of supplies.
Peary found the sledging for the first

slow. q.
Six Days Travel Without Sun.
He had his first glimpse of the sun
six days after he had started. AS the
party got further from land, however.
the sledging improved, but the leads,
or openings in the ice, became more
frequent. On the sixth day out, at "a
degrees SO minutes north, Peary and.
lis party struck lead that held them
up for nearly week. They finally,
got across, over two-mile stretch of
young ice. Then they were held up
for six days more by terrific wind
and snow storm. When they were
ready to resume their march pole
ward they found they had been carried
20 miles to the eastward by the foe.
Capt Peary sent two Eskimos back
to establish connections with the d.
visions behind. The Eskimos returned
after three days and reported that

He noticed also that all the cracks
in the ice were at right angles to their
course and that the ice on the north

more rapidly than that on the south
ern.
The dogs began to give out under
the strain, and as they dropped Peary
fed them to the surviving animals. He

land. His was the novel scheme of
being carried in the ice foe to the
pole. His vessel entered the foe on
September %, but the drift carried it
toward Spitzbergen rather than to-
ward the pole. DR.. Nansen decided
that he would have to leave the ship
and make trial with sledges.
He left the Tram, and with 20 dogs,
three Eskimos, and two skin canoes,
started out over the ice on March 13,
1895. In II days he had reached a
latitude of &c degrees and IA minutes
north. At that time this was 40

He finally was picked up off Cape
Flora by the Jackson expedition, which
had spent two years in Franz Josef
land. He arrived at Vardo, whence
he had sailed, on August 10, 1906.
About week later his ship Tram,
which had been carried for years in
the ice foes, reached the same port.
The Norsemen probably were the
first Europeans to visit the arctic re.
gions and Greeland. The struggles to
find short cut to the riches of the
far east were more productive of ad.
ventures and loss of life than the
later day dashes for the pole.

most of his men in Lapland on the re.

Frobisher in 1876 and Davis in 1858

north coast of America. Henry Hud-

grees on the eastern coast of Green
land and added to the knowledge of
Spitzbergen, which was discovered by
Dutchman, William Barents, in 1855.
Through the seventeenth and eighth

knowledge Of the arctic was gained,
and in 1907 Capt. Giles made voy-
age far to the eastward along the
shore of Greenland and saw high land

American Takes WhaIers' Record.
Capt. Scoresby, in command of a
whaler, succeeded in advancing his
ship, the Resolution, as far north as
81 degrees IL minutes AZ seconds in
1906. This was the record until Lieut.
Edward Parry, an American, reached
latitude 81 degrees As minutes in an
