Cuttinq Down Weight.

Because of the importance of light
and efficient equipment much care was
taken to eliminate every ounce OF
weight. The sleds were made of hick-
ory, the lightest wood consistent with
great endurance, but every needless
fiber was gouged out. The iron shoes
were ground thin, and in every way the
weight Of nearly everything was re-
duced even after leaving headquar-
terS.
The little train, therefore, which fol-
lowed me into the farther mystery
was composed of two sleds, each
carrying GOO pounds, drawn by 13
dogs, under the lash Of an expert
driver. The combined freight was as

4" ARLY IN January Of 1908 the
H campaign opened. A few sleds
were sent to the American
shores to explore route and
to advance supplies.
. Clouds and storms made the moon
light days dark, and therefore these
advance expeditions were only partly
successful.
On Feb. 10, 1908, the main expedi-
ton started for the pole. Eleven men,
driving 103 dogs and moving II heav-
1y loaded sleds, left the Greenland
sho1e and pushed westward over the
troublesome ice of Smith sound to
Cape Sabine.

For Dyspepsia and Indigestion
II you Suffer from Indigestion Dyspepsia, Gas on
the Stomach, Belching, Sour Stomach, heartburn
etc. little kodol will Relieve you almost Instantly

Kodol supplies the same digestive
juices that are found in a healthy
stomach. Being a liquid, it starts
digestion at once.
Kodol not only digests your food,
but helps you enjoy every mouthful
you eat.
You need sufficient amount of
good, wholesome food to maintain
strength and health.
But, this food must be digested
thoroughly, otherwise the pains of
indigestion and dyspepsia are the
result.
When your stomach cannot do its
work properly, take something to
help your stomach. Kodol is the
only thing that will give the stom-
ach complete rest.
WhyP Because Kodol does the
same work as strong stomach, and
does it in natural way.
