Why Shackleton Turned Back.

Lieutenant Shackleton's account of
the last days of his journey is thrill
ing, and as it describes conditions
which will be met by the two expedi-
tons now forming subjoin few ex-
tracts:
The blizzard had done its work, how
ever, and we recognized that we had just
about reached our limit We got up at
a. m. and at a. m. were away for a
final march south, taking with us nothing
but food, instruments and the queens
flag with a bamboo rod for a staff.
Half running. half walking. we made
that last march. and at 9 a. m. in latitude
IS degrees % minutes we hoisted the union
jack. We could do no more. for to go
farther meant abandoning all hope of get
ting back TO our depots.
The pole. though only ninety-seven geo.

was impossible for us to attain. Before
us stretched the same white plain over
which we had Travelled for many days.
Our powerful Goertz glasses showed no
signs Of land. and we could safely as
sumo that the geographical south pole
was situated on this immense plateau. be-
tween 10000 and II, 900 feet above sea level
and certainly the coolest and one Of the
most stormy parts of the world We took
queens flag blowing out in the icy wind
that cut us to the bone. took possession
of the plateau on behalf of his majesty
and Immediately began the march back to
our camp, our faces once more turned
north.
The leader of the American expedi-
lion will probably not be announced
FOR some time. The most likely men
for the post are Borup and Mcmillan,
both of whom accompanied peary in
his north pole dash. Whoever is in
command. Robert T.. Peary will be the
actual head Under his guidance and
inspiration we have a right to hope
that. despite the handicaps against the
Americans. they will win the race and
that the first flag raised ut the south
pole. MS ut the north, will be the stars
end stripes.

explorations had established a prior

the instincts of the sportsman and an
honorable regard for the feelings or

displayed by his voluntary relinquish-

Belated Recognition.
Those Of us who criticised Mr.. Peary
for his attacks on Dr. Cook should now
be the more ready to render tribute to
the true discoverer of the north pole.
While personally not for long deceived
by the Cook claims, |, like the majority
Of other newspaper men who wrote on
the subject, regarded Peary's stric-
lures on his rival as ungenerous ana

Two Polar Dashes In 1911.

The Englishmen will go in from
New Zealand and the Americans from
Punta Arenas, on the southern ex-
tremity of South America. The start
in each case will be made next sum-
mer The seasons in the southern
hemisphere are, of course, the exact
reverse of ours, Christmas occurring
in midsummer there and the 4th of
July in mldwinter. 1t is designed to
go into winter quarters In 1911 and
to make the actual polar dashes dur
ing the spring and summer of 1911-12.
If successful the expeditions will then
start home early in 1912. 1t Is bare
ly possible that news may be heard
Of one or both ventures before either

intend to take wireless apparatus and
to establish wireless stations at their

be utilized for communication with
the outside world, although the dis
lance will be very great.

Pole on q High Plateau.

The probability is that the south pole
is on a plateau 10000 feet In eleva-
ton and that both exploring parties
will have an all land route. Shackle-
ton found land all the way in his
Journey and when he reached his far
thest south at III miles from the goal
said that powerful fieldglasses reveal
ed n continuing plateau as far as he
could see. His elevation was then
about 10000 feet Because Of the alti-
tude and for the reason that there Is
no sea water to modify the tempera-
ture the area surrounding the south
pole is colder than that encountered
by arctic explorers. Mountains and
glaciers also make the going In the
antarctic difficult. For all that, the
discovery of the south pole should be
less difficult than was that of the
northern end of the world. There are
no open leads and no drifting ice foes,
two of the obstacles that have de-
feated so many arctic explorers in their
efforts to reach the north pole.
The route to be followed by the
dell sea is also thought to be over
the land, though next to nothing is
actually known concerning it, A
coast line has been discovered, and
this is supposed to be the shore of
the antarctic continent. 1t may, how
ever, be only shell, with open sea
beyond it. Again, it may lead to
high and practically inaccessible
mountain ranges. This uncertainty as
to what the Americans may encounter
would put the odds in favor of the
British, since they will follow for
most of the distance the course al
ready traversed by Lieutenant Shac-
kleton, just as Shackleton, in turn,
kept close to the track made by Cap
tain Scott in his first expedition Of

Wastefui 10 Burn Grass.

The wastefulness of burning grass
Is perhaps not generally realized. BY
the burning Of dead grass we remove
the material which is to furnish hui
mus and bacteria essential for plant
growth. Resulting from this burning
we have temporarily small amount
Of ash, which stimulates a quick and
unhealthy growth of grass, but the
soluble parts OF the ash are rapidly
washed away by rains, so that we
have not only great loss from de-
strIction Of humus and bacteria, but
also loss Of part of the small val
liable residue. land subjected to
grass fire must therefore quickly run
out" unless manure is added subse-
quAntly to take the place Of the burn
ed grass, and this is not commonly
done. Robert 4. Morris, in the New
York Times.

It is surprising the many different appe-
tizing ways that -Corped Beef can be pre-
pared for the family's meals. Every one
likes Corned Beef and there is no more
healthful or delicious dish than Lbby's,
carefully selected from prime beef and
properly "cured"
There is some waste, to be. 9ere, when
bought at the butchers, butt n the plan
here suggested you may buy the finest
corned beef in the world in which there
is absolutely no waste and every particle
of which can be eaten.
Suppose you ask your grocer for lib
by's Corned Beef. 1t represents all full
value no bone, no gristle-just clean, pure
corned beef selected first hand from the
pieces-and corned and cooked to per-
lection in Libby's wonderful white en-
amel kitchens. A can of Libby's Corned
Beef sliced and served cold with dill
pickles and potato salad is a delightful
meal and will be enough for four people
Corned Beef Hash.-Take the contents
of can, chop fine, add one-fourth as much
boiled OF baked potatoes, a little fried
onion and a small quantity of water. Cook
slowly until thoroughly heated, then serve
on toast with or without poached eggs
Corned Beef Omelette.-Beat the yolks
and whites of four eggs separately and add
one-half Of the whites to all of the yolks.
Put in a hot frying pan and, when nicely
Drowned on the bottom, sprinkle cup Of
minced corned beef over it. Spread over
this the remainder of the whites, put in
the oven and brown on top. Then fold
and serve.
Dreamed Corned Beef.-Mince the con-
tents of a can of Libbys Corned Beef.
Put over this dressing of cream gravy
with the yolk of an egg beaten into it.
Serve on toast
New England Boiled Dinner.-You may
have this in one-fourth of the time It
usually takes. Put can Of Libby's Corned
Beef in boiling water--it is already cooked
and serve in the usual manner with
vegetables.
Besides the economy in the use of Lib
by's Corned Beef, another great advantage
to the housewife in using it is that it is all
cooked when bought and there is no neces-
sity for the long, tedious and expensive
boiling which is necessary with raw corned
beef. The house is not filed with steam
and odors and valuable time is saved
Libby's Corned Beef is ready at once for
serving in any one of the many ways men
TONED above, and you win find it a great
convenience to try it next time. Be sure
you get Libby, Mcneil & Libby's Corned
Beef.

You may be sure. if Cardui will re-

ionable mother who refused to allow

school because she considered the
coloring OF the illustrations In the
text books inartistsc and thought II
"indelicate for persons to know

point has changed in recent years and
keen interest Is being displayed by
mothers and heads OF families In a
work which the American Medical
Association has Just got well under
way, Holding that 1t is the duty OF
the medical profession not merely to
heal the sick, but also to spread
knowledge OF the ways in which the
danger OF sickness can be avoided,
this organization has prepared an ex-
haustive series OF pamphlets contain
ing the most recent views on the pre-
vention and cure Of disease, and fur
nishes them free on request, The
namber OF applications for this infor-
nation which has poured in has sur
prised even the originators of the
scheme. The pamphlets contain in
teresting facts Of the wonderful adj
vance medical science has made in
late years, and it is shown that in
New York alone the death rate from
diphtheria has been so decreased in
the last ten years as to result in an
actual saving OF almost $4,000 lives.
