While the world is ringing with
praises of the wonderful feat Of Dr.
Frederick A. Cook in discovering the
north pole, those who burrow deep into
find a series of conditions that stamp
the enterprise as altogether unique in
conception. Not only did the intrepid
explorer go about his conquest 50
quietly that it almost amounted to Sc
crecy. but we are confronted with the
unprecedented fact that he pinned his
1aith to the ubiquitous gumdrop. No
where is there authority for believing
that any previous adventurer into the
northern wastes ever thought of the
cumdrop as a vital article of equip
ment Hundreds Of brave men have
set their faces resOlutely toward the
wilderness OF ice and have failed at
last because they neglected to provide
themselves, with gumdrops.
Our expedition took along two bar
rels of gumdrOps," commented John R.
Bradley. financial hacker of DR.. Cook.
An Eskimo will travel thirty miles
over ice and snow for a gumdrop. He
has the sweetest tooth in the world.
Lump sugar has won them before. but
we decided that gumdrops would be
even better. And they were" The
discovery of the potency of the gum
drop as an agency of polar discovery
was of only less Importance than the
finding of the pole. But having learned
that a single gumdrop will carry Eski-
mos thirty miles it is only a matter
of mathematical calculation to find out
how many gumdrops will be required
for the final dash to tie pole with a
stated number of natives. If, of course
it takes one gumdrop to stimulate a
single Eskimo to so thirty miles, it will
require one gumdrop to make thirty
natives go one mile. With that formu-

Care In Preparing Food.

In recent years scientists have
proved that the value of food is meas

suit is the most stringent pure food
laws that have ever been known.
One food that has stood out promi-
nently as perfectly clean and pure
food and which was as pure before
the enactment of these laws as it
could possibly be is Quaker Oats;
conceded by the experts to be the ideal
food for making strength of muscle
and brain. The best and cheapest of
all foods. The Quaker Oats Company
is the only manufacturer of oatmeal
that has satisfactorily solved the prob
lem of removing the husks and black

FOR CITIZENSHIP.

A Judge in Jersey City rejected the

naturalization papers because he could
not name six states in the union. and
had never heard of Abrahom Lincoln.
The applicant had resided in America
% years, was tailor, and in good cir
cumstances.

ing. Still, the fact that the man had
lived and prospered for over twenty
years in America before feeling the
impulse to swear allegiance to the gov
eminent was really a greater ref1ec.

country and it's historical characters
How many Americana born voters
not students of home history would

dents of the United States in the prop
er order, and state the policies for
which they respectively stood A large
number. How many would fail to
rame the vice presidents? A much

unknown to large masses of educated
citizens who are enjoying tehr rights
before the law.
A criticism often spoken of our civil
service law is that the examinations
under it are too technical. Superfiuous
questions are asked, and not enough
attention is. paid to the practical side
Of things. Horse sense and experience
in everyday affairs are sometimes
subordinated to mere general reading
and feats of memory.
That sort of thing should not appear
in the examinations for citizenship.
Many foreigners after arriving in
America address themselves at once
and sometimes for years, to acquiring
enough of the language of the country
to enable them to get along at work
or in business. They do not travel, nor
read much beyond the news of the day
They dip but little if at all into
American history. They may never
come to the knowledge sufficient to run
state boundary lines, or explain great
American persOnageS, and yet may be
fully qualified to vote intelligently at
either a local or a national election,
and help choose competent public ser
wants.
This HobOken tailor may know
enough to discharge all the duties of
citizenship. although short on histo-
rical data. But he ought to explain
why a fortunate experience in the
country did not sooner bring him for
ward as an applicant for citizenship.
To be slow in America is sometimes
worse than to be ignorant.
