Day by day has DR.. Anderson de-
tailed his journey. OF the entire first
year spent In the north his report says
nothing, the letter he had sent out
earlier on one of the two occasions
word was received from the adven-
turers being sufficient in his opinion
to cover that period. OF the second
year, when the provisions taken north
by the party had either been eaten
or stolen by the bears and wolverines,
he says but little more.
At the end of their trip, when death
and starvation stared them in the face,
they stumbled across the carcass of
bowhead whale. Dr. Anderson, writ
ing Of the find, said, "The carcass was
evidently two or three years old, but
the meat was fairly well preserved"
Although 1t was still early in the aft
ernoon the party camped Immediately
and there dogs and men Toasted side
by side. "The meat" wrote DR.. An
derson, was fairly palatable, slightly
acrid but not offensive and all in all
was very filing"
At the conclusion of their letters
both Mr.. Stefansson and DR.. Ander-
son express themselves as being de-
sirous Of returning again to the coun-
try in which they spent two such ter
rible years to complete the work they
started.

.CANDYMAN'S ANGER PUT ON

The recent flood Of pure food matter
In the papers calls to mind couple
of stories told of and by a travelling
salesman who in 1875 represented tie
first big glucose factory established IN
Buffalo. He sold the stuff to the can

friend met him in Boston hotel ard

The other yarn was about a New
