the anniversary Of the board of home

a great work for the home people,

ment that DR.. Fred a. Cook made
to the small army of newspaper men
who are reporting the doings Of the
world and who boarded the Hans
Enged steamer as It entered the har-
Dor at $50 this morning. The ex-
citement was something terrible as
DR.. Cook left the boat, and 1t was al
most impossible for the man to make
his way through the great throng OF
people that filled the dock and for
blocks out In the street. Bands were
playing. shouts were heard from
every direction and people were sta
toned In every available window In
the large blocks, and even covered
the house tops, all eager to get q
glimpse OF the explorer as he made
his first appearance.
All skepticism Is now removed and
the scientists have recorded the dis
coyery as correct. DR.. Cook said the
first thing In answer to the question
as to the placing Of the flag that he
first planted the Stars and Stripes on
April Fl IN the middle OF the fore
noon. and added: II tell you, men.
my God, but 1t was a thrilling time.
Even the mercury scored below zero
in our blood and caused our veins to
realize all that that means" DR..
Cook further said that he hoped the
pole would soon be reached again
and his records found, and that two
days at the pole would develop all
observation. not counting the eating
and sleeping time. The weather
there is now ideal and while he was
there his instruments were In perfect
order.
Unexpected Demonstration.
The welcome that Dir. Cook re.
celved was far beyond anything he
expected. and he showed plainly that

natives from all parts of Europe
were present at the ovation and the
police had hard work to restrain the

Lydia E. Pinkbam's Vegetable

which is made from roots and herbs
for wOman's ills, had its origin in
this way For 80 years it has been
redeeming it's promises written on
the label of every bottle by curing
thousands of women of feminine ills.
It's a good honest medicine.
