RESORT Of FUTURE
TO Be THE ARCTIC
So Says DR.. ]. w. Goodsell,
Who Studied Health
of Eskimos.

NORTH SYDNEY, Nova Scotia, Sept
f9.-Greenland and the Arctic Circle is
the greatest spot in the world TO battle
against the great white plague, accord
ing to Dr. j. W. Goodsell, the surgeon
o fthe Peary party and IL The conten-
ton Of Commander Peary proves true
that the land of the Eskimo viii with
in five or ten years become the chief
summer resort Of the hemisphere, the
battle against tuberculosis will center
in that spot. The dry air and tho con
slant sunlight are the factors to kill the
disease
Tuberculosis can be eradicated in the
spring and summer of the arctic sea-
SON" said DR.. Goodsell There is no
climate in the world where such a sue
cessful fight against the deadly white
plague can be wsged. One Of my chief
purposes for going with the Peary ex-
petition was to make microscopic dag
nosis OF the effect of the climate on
tuberculosis 1 found it practically i'm
possible for the germ of consumption
TO live in the climate Of the arctic. The
winters, Of course. are too rigid and
severe for person affected bv the
tubercular germ to hazard a Journey.
T.
II would not surprise me within the
next generation If the entire fight
against the spread OF tuberculosis. as
well as the fight to eradicate the dis
ease would be transferred to the arctic
regions.
Statistics of Eskimos.
The Eskimo was said TO be degener-
ating from tuberculosis as a result of
the contact from the whites. but this Is
not true took a census Of the tribe
Etah on Smith sound. Three years I
did similar thing. At that time 7
found 207 and there had been an in
crease of eleven this year.
Commander Peary believes that the
South Pole will be discovered within
sevral years. He says that the work
OF exploration in the Antarctic circle is
an infinitely easier feat than exploring
then Arctic region The reason is that
the places FOUND each year can be the
point Of the next expedition and that
the Ice is solid and does not drift.
Resort of Future.
The discoverer IS a firm believer in
the future OF the land OF the Eskimos,
and says that ne will probably live to
see the day when il will become the
ideal summer resort of the world. In
ltEdlu " the UlAdl OlSBDEAllOu u Tue
Roosevelt, the ship that bore the Ergo
nauts TO the Arctic circle, the COM
mander was somewhat troubled. It is
the property of the Peary Arctic Club
and seemed 10 realize its responsibilities
as pretty story of the commander will
show"
The vessel does not show any eff
feCts OF her siege in the arctic. She
carries the United States flag in her
maiumast, and the Canadian flag n
her forepeak. An interesting thing
connected with the CelaTing Of the
Roosevelt from Sydney on the north
voyage was related by Capt. Robert
Bartlett. The vessel sails under A
Yachting license under the colors of
the New York Yacht Club. It was
unnecessary for her to make declsra-
ton. but Collector Of Port J. A. Rich
ardsOn, Of Sydney, wanted to have the
Roosevelt clear. so when he made ont
the papers he designated her as ALL
