TURN PEARY DOWN
House Committee Refuses to
Honor Pole 0iscoverer.
Representative Macon Openly Hints
He Has Doubts Whether Naval
officer Found "Top Of
the World"

Washington.-Dr Frederick A.
Cook no doubt has gotten much solace
out of the fact that the subcommittee
of the house naval committee has re-
fused to bestow a reward upon Com
mander Robert Il. Peary.
The house committee wants proof.
Peary has refused to submit 1t for the
reason that II would interfere with his
lectures and magazine articles. Evil
IDENTIFY Peary thinks more OF the
money he can make by writing and
lecturing than he does of a reward be-
slowed by congress, so there the mat
ter rests. Representative Macon OF
Arkansas was the chief objector TO
comforting congressional honor upon
Peary.. until the commander produces
the proof OF his claim that he found
the north pole.
Il confess that | am exceedingly
skeptical about Mr.. Peary's ever hav-
ing discovered the pole" declared Mr..
Macon before the committee. "and |
am going to protest against any honor
being conferred upon him by congress
until he has established beyond rea-
sonable doubt that he did discover IT,.
and 1t must be established in the open
and not in the dark" He expressed
himself as being Indignant al the
thought of being called upon as a
representative of the American people
to confer a high honor upon any one
OF its citizens in the dark" All legis-
lation by congress, he said, ought to
| be open and above board.
Mr.. Macon said he wanted to direct
attention to one discrepancy" in Mr..
| Peary's story. This was the speed
which the explorer declared he made
from the time Capt. Bartlett left him
until he reached the pole. Mr.. Peary
said that for five days he made 26.4
miles per day; but, Mr.. Macon said

NO HEALTHY SKIN LEFT

My little son, a boy Of FIVE, broke
out with an itching rash. Three doc
tors prescribed for him, but he kept
getting worse until we could not dress
him any more. They finally advised
me to try certain medical college,
but its treatment did no good. At
the time l was induced to try Cuti-
cura he was so bad that had to cut
his hair off and put the Cuticura Oint-
ment on him on bandages, as it was
impossible to touch him with the bare
hand. There was not one square inch
of skin on his whole body that was
not affected He was one mass of
sores. The bandages used to stick to
his skin and in removing them it used
to take the skin off with them, and
the screams from the poor child were
heartbreaking. began to think that
he would never get well, but after the
second application of Cuticura Oint
ment | began to see signs of improve
ment, and with the third and fourth
applications the sores commenced TO
dry up. His skin peeled off twenty
times, but it finally yielded to the
treatment. Now | can say that he is
entirely cured, and a stronger and
healthier boy you never saw than he
is to-day, twelve years or more since
the cure was effected. Robert Wattam,
