To relieve the worst forms of Rheu- matism, take a teaspoonful of the fol- lowing mixture after each meal and at bedtime:
 Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-half ounce; Compound Kargon, one ounce; Compound Syrup Sarsaparilia, three ounces.
 These harmless ingredients can be obtained from our home druggists, and are easily mixed by shaking them well in a bottle. Relief is generally felt from the first few doses.
 This prescription forces the ciogged- up,inactiye kidneys to filter and strain from the blood the poisonous waste matter and uric acid. which causes Rheumatism.
 As Rheumatism is not only the most painful and torturous disease, but dan gerous to life, this simple recipe will no doubt be greatly valued by many sufferers here at home, who should at once prepare the mixture to get this relief.
 1t is said that a person who would take this prescription regularly. dose or two daily, or even few times a week, would never have serious Kid ney or Urinary disorders or Rheuma- tism.
 Cut this out and preserve it. Good Rheumatism prescriptions which real ly relieve are scarce, indeed. and when you need it, you want Il badly

NEW YORK EAGER
TO GREET DR.. COOK

NEW YORK, Sept. 4.-Dr. Cooks
statement at Copenhagen today that he
intends to start for New York "as soon
as possible" was received with graft
ification by his admirers in New York
tonight, particularly the Explorers
club and the Hudson-Fulton commits
sion.
His arrival in time for the big din
ner on September 80 now appears to be
assured and plans will be to make the
day Cook day. at the celebration.

to whether DR.. Cook really discovered
the pole is still divided Friends of
Commander Peary, now engaged in an
arctic expedition. form circle of the
most decided skepticism, but as an or
ganization the Pearv Arctic club has
remained silent.
The fame that has come to DIR. Cook
has naturally brought from the back
ground of obscurity his financial back
er, John r. Bradley.
1t was Bradley's money, quietly ad-
vanced, that enabled Cook to make his
trip, but with the characteristic taci-
turnity of the sporting man Bradley
has said little To his intimate friends
he has been known as the proprietor
of the Beach club, an exclusive resort
at Palm Beach, Fla, venture in
which he was associated with his

complished by an American citizen
President Taft has taken the keen
est interest in the news regarding the
discovery ever since the brief bulIe-
tin was received Wednesday afternoon.
Always a great newspaper reader, ne
has taken a deep interest in the con-
troversy which DR.. Cooks feat has
aroused among the Arctic experts.
Minister Egan's cablegram of last
Thursday to the state department an
nouncing Dr. Cooks accomplishment
had been confirmed by the Danlsh
commissioner for Greenland, was re-

held any comment until receiving to-
day the personal cablegram which Dr..
Cook evidently filed as soon as he
reached the Danish capital.

Haskell today addressed a letter to
President Taft in which he charges the
federal government Of giving aid to
violators of the prohibition law in Ok
lahoma, first by allowing liquor adver-
tisements to be sent through the mails;
secondly, by not conforming to the law
in issuing federal liquor licenses, and,
thirdly, through the absence of protec-
ton against interstate commerce in
liquor. The letter is accompanied by a

The letter requests the president, in
case his authority be not now legally
complete, to recommend the enactment
of such additional legislation as may be
necessary to give complete relief on all
three propositions.

TELLS OF DR.. COOKS
CLOSE ESCAPE FROM
DEATH IN FAR NORTH

CHICAGO, Sept. 4.-Dr. Gustav
Staats, head of the National Medical
college and hospital, who accompanied
the Peary relief expedition of which
DR.. Frederick A. Cook was member,
told yesterday of some incidents that
happened during his acquaintance with
the discoverer of the North Pole.
DR.. Staats told of one close escape
from death of DIR. Cook. He said:
''Dr. Cook had habit of sleeping on
the ice in the summertime. 1t was IN
July of 1901 that our vessel was impris-
oned in the ice near the Arctic circle.
DR.. Cook had been making his bed on
the ice near the ship for several days,
although this fact was unknown to
several in the party One morning
some Of the members of the scientific
staff started on hunting trip. One of
them saw Cook wrapped up in his fur
blankets asleep on the ice. In the dim
light of that season he was taken for
a sea lion and one of the men prepared
to shoot.
1.-The men approached the supposed
beast, but recognized the sleeping
physician before it was too late"

SCIENTIST AT YALE
SCORES CH'CAGOANS

NEW HAVEN. Conn.,, Sept. 4.-Re-
ferring to statements by Chicago pro-
fessors and others that DR.. Cook had
not discovered the north pole, Pro-
fessor William H. Brewer of Yale said
today that thev did not know what
they were talking about and that the
only foundation they had for the state
ments they made was from what they
had read from books.
Professor Brewer explained the trip
In detail by a map of the Arctic ocean
and showed that the dash in the length
of time was possible and probably ac-
tually took place. especially after the
carefully made plans of DR.. Cook.
Professor Brewer said in part:
"They say Dr. Cook must prove to
them that he has been to the pole.
How can he prove it? I have known
DR.. Cook for many years very we'll;
went ON a trip with him in '93, and
have never even suspected him of an
untruth. He has given all he has to
science and should have the credit of
what he has done.
"Dr. Cook did not leave New York
with a brass band, for he knew there
was a possibility of failure. He left
presumably for hunting trip. Now
that he has succeeded he should have
every honor and America should be
proud of him."

STILL DOUBTS TALE
TOLD BY EXPLORER

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 4.-Rear Ad-
niral George w. Melville said he was
still unconvinced that the goal of all
Arctic explorers had been reached.
He admitted, however, that the in
terview obtained from DR.. Cook by the
Associated Press in Copenhagen pre-
sented the explorers claims in more
convincing light than did Cooks orig
iEal story.
"The temperature of SO degrees below
zero Fahrenheit is not impossible" said
the admiral, although lower than any
temperature experienced in any expe-
ditions with which l am familiar
"The. statement that DR.. Cook COW
cred as high as twelve miles day is
also more probable than the previous
account which credited him with maxi
ing an average of fifteen miles a day.
II am surprised to see such an abb
surd statement that Dr. Cook buried a
brass tube in a field of moving ice as
proof of the fact that he discovered the
north pole. He might as we'll have
thrown it into the Atlantic ocean,"
