said Stefansson before his departure.
1.-The chances are that we will be all
right. 1t isn't always possible to do
things in a hurry up there, but it is
usually possible to do them If you
know how
Stefansson is at the head of the
most important scientific expedition
as distinguished from an exploring ex-
peditions-that ever entered the polar
regions. In several respects it is
unique. Its aim is more comprehen-
sive than that of any of it's predeces-
Sors.
The explorers primary aim in max
ing the trip is to learn whether or not
there is land in that vast unexplored
area which lies to the north and west
of Beaufort sea. If the wind blows
west the Beaufort sea will be choked
by ice. Then he'll make his dash by
dog sled.
Stefansson is taking with him a
moving picture man, whom he re-
CARDS as of equal importance with any
scientist in the expedition.
The expedition is being financed by
the Canadian government.

and by the eating of fats and other
foods of high carbon content.
In summer or in tropical climates we
have to fight increase of temperature
which would arise from the invasion of
the heat without or from overcom-
bustion within.
The organism overcOmes heat by in
creasing radiation and evapora ton.
The dilation of the blood vessels
causes the blood to flow to the surface
of the body, and if the temperature
without be not higher than that of the
blood the loss by radiation is increased.
But it is especially by loss of water
that the warm-blooded animals prevent
the rise of temperatu re of the body.
The cold produced by evaporation is
very great, for the loss of one gram
of water takes up about $50 small
Galleries. If. for instance. a man evap-
crate a quart of water Cby respiration
and evaporation through the lungs) in
"a hours he loses $50 large calories-
i. e. enough heat to lower the tenn
perature of 116 pounds of water 10
degrees.
This demonstrates the enormous
value of evaporation through skin and
lungs and the necessity for keeping
these organs in prime condition, es-
noriallv during the warm weather. if
we are to bear it in comfort--New

Militia viii Get Touch of Real
Army Life.

Junction City, July 1.-During the
month of July the part of the reserva-
ton used for camps will be much in
use as the camp of instruction for
field artillery officers of the organized
militia begins July 6 and lasts until
July 20. Over so officers from various
parts of the United States are expect
ed to be in attendance. Capt. Fox Con-
ner, Sixth F. A, is the officer in charge
of this camp. At the close of the camp
of instruction for militia officers, the
organized militia of the state of Kan
sas will go into camp on the reserva-
ton July and remain until July 20.
The senior militia officer will command
this camp and the post commander will
only exercise supervision and furnish
medical aid. This is for the purpose
of giving the men practical drill in
army life and duties. During August

TEMPERATURE OF THE BODY
Lowest at O'Clock in the Morning
and Highest at i'm Afternoon.

1t is well to know what raises and
what lowers the bodily temperature. In
summer We all want to keep as cool as
possible, and we should know what
will tend not merely to make you feel
cool, but really to be COOL
Except in sickness, when the tenn
perature of the body is increased by
many degrees and is called fever, we
are never so hot as at the moment
we are born. The temperature of a
newborn baby is higher than that of
it's mother, rising to 102 F., but during
the first day it goes down rapidly as
far as 97.5 and then rises again to a
little more than the normal tempera-
ture of the adult with this exception
age does not change the tempera-
ture, which is in the normal man 9S.6
on the average.
The temperature varies as much as
2 degrees in the "a hours. The mini
mum is 97-5 and is reached at about 4
a. m, while the maximum, 99.5, is at
tanned at o'clock in the afternoon. 1t
is notable that fasting or sleep does not
alter these variations; those persons
however, who work at night and rest
by day reverse the order of the varia-
lions in temperature. Thus bakers,
who work at night. have the highest
temperature at a. m, and the mini
mum toward evening.
In tropical countries the average
normal temperature is 1904, slightly
higher than in the temperate zones. In
the Arctic the normal temperature is
lower Norwegians. who live in a cold
climate, have an average temperature
of 97.7
These variations are certainly due to
the difference in the temperature of the
air, and not, as some have thought
to difference of race, for Norwegians
attain the same temperature as ma
tives when they live in the tropics.
Muscular labor has considera BILE eff
feet upon the temperature and may
raise it as much as two degrees. One
scientist observed that with normal ex-
ercise the temperature went up from
97.7 to 100. In certain exceptional cases
the temperature rises even more. A
runner has been found to mark 103 af-
TT a hard race. Intellectual labor also
causes a rise in temperature Weiss
shows that a man sitting down to
study hard with a temperature of 81
raises it one degree to SO, by 40 min
utes of brain work.
The maintenance of the temperature
about a certain standard in the warm
blooded animals notwithstanding the
variations of external temperatures
proves the existence of some kind of
internal regulator by which the animal
fights against the tendency to increase
or diminish his own heat.
The resistance of warm-blooded ami
mails against cold is considerab BILE. In
polar regions these animals-bears
seals, musk oxen. dogs. etc.-withstand
temperatures of so degrees below zero
habitually. and Nansen reports that he
felt no great inconvenience when the

HOUSE OF 1000 PITCHERS.
Parsons Woman Has Rare Collection
Saved for IS Years.

Parsons, Kan, July 1.-The house
of thousand pitchers-and several
hundred more-is located at 421 South
Eighteenth street. It is the home of
Mrs. r. w. Mathis, who has been col
1ecting pitchers-jugs they are-in the
vernacular of all pitcher collectors, for
eighteen years. Just now the collec-
ton is being augmented rapidly
through Mrs. Mathis acquaintance
with several other persons who are
equally Jealous in their efforts to pro-
cure styles they do not have, for when
one obtains two of a kind, then there
is opportunity for an exchange.
Five large cabinets hold the four
teen hundred pitchers Mrs. Mathis has
gathered from the four corners of the
earth. They are of every imaginabl
size, from the tiny Mexican jug a
quarter of an inch high, believed to
be the smallest pitcher in the world,
to the huge gorgeous and decorated,
though less highly priced ones that
would provide ample room for a half
dozen UNI brellaS.

John F'rew who has just completed
his twenty-ffth year as an abstracter
in this city turned over his interests
this week to his partner, John Bell
and will move to Topeka, where he
expects to engage in business. Thirty
two years ago Mr.. Frew came to this
county from Glasgow, Scotland, and
shortly afterwards went into the alb
stract and insurance business. Dur
ing the twenty-five years he has en-
gagged in this business he has prob
ably made a record in the matter of
the number of terms he has served as
a public Office holder in the county.
Altogether he has served seventeen
years as a county official and five
years as an officer of Strong City, in
Guiding the office of mayor, city clerk
and councilman. AS county official,
thirteen years of his seventeen years
service was spent as county surveyor
and four years as county high school
trustee.

AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE, HELPS
Jouett Shouse Gets State Help When
Federal Advice Fails.

Kinsley, Kan, July 1.-Senator
Jouett Shouse has brought the Agri-
cultural college to the aid OF EDWARDS
county farmers in their fight against
the grasshopper pest. ]. w. McCul-
Tough and c. c. Hamilton, expert en-
tomologists, are here and farmers are
organizing under their direction to
get rid of the pests. The state experts
were called in when it was found the
advice sent by the federal department
of agriculture was worthless in coping
with the situation. The state experts
are preparing for immediate action as
the hoppers will center their appet1tes
on growing spring crops when the
wheat is harvested.

temperature was less than 40 below.
The body uses two means of fight
ing diminishing the loss of heat
by radiation and increasing internal
combustion.
Diminution of radiation is brought
about by the fur of animals and by
mans clothing. Besides, there is a
construction of the blood vessels or
diminution ofthe irrigation of the skim
which brings about a cooling of the
skin and as consequence decreased
radiation.
Increase of combustion is brought
about by increase of muscular activity

KILLED BY LIVE WIRE.
Young Man at Leod Comes in Contact
With $4,000 Volts.

Leoti, Kan, July 1.-The town was
startled on receiving the sad news that
Ola johnson had been e1ectrocuted on
a 5o-foot telegraph pole and had fallen
to the ground.
Mr. johnson left here, stopping at
Ordway, Colo, to measure a crossing,
but there was something wrong with
the wires a mile east of Ordway, SO
he climbed pole to fix them. Near
Ordway and Sugar City the electric
light wires cross the tracks and the
supposition is that one of these wires
had fallen on one of the Western
Union wires unknown to Mr.. John
son, and when he touched the tele-
graph wire, the $4,000 volts of cleo
tricity from the electric light wire
passed through his body and he was
dead when he reached the ground.

COMBINE AUDITORS.
Secretary McAdoo Would Put Federal
Men In One Building.

Washington. - Secretary McAdoo Is
urging upon congress a plan to com
bine In one building the auditing stats
Of the several executive departments.
He would utilize the big structure
about to be vacated by the bureau Of
engraving and printing. While the cost
OF remodeling would approximate $73,-
600, he declares the government would
save about $4,000 a year in rent now
paid for the use Of quarters in bust
ness blocks.
Auditors for the interior and navy
departments now share one building.
while those for the state and other de-
partments occupy another. The cleri-
cal forces are divided, and loss In
efficiency Is the result, according to
Mr.. McAdoo. Furthermore, the secre-
tary Of the treasury Is looking forward
TO a decided increase In the treasury
auditing force on the passage of the
new tariff law with its income tax pro-
vision.

CONDUCTING INQUIRY
INTO COST OF LIVING

Of High Prices.

Washington investigation into
the reasons for the high cost Of living
which is nation wide In its scope has
been going ON quietly for some time
at the direction of President Wilson
Administration officials are devoting
particular attention to marketing meth
DDS I'm an effort to get at the root of
the matter. The greater part of the
work has fallen on Secretary of Agri-
culture Houston and his department.
The problem Of the high cost Of liv-
ing embraces two divisions, so far as
the investigators are concerned. These
are:
How to afford means to the farmer
to increase the production Of his land
and how to lift the burden OF the stead
lily increasing cost Of food from the
masses.
1t is recognized by administration
officials that scientific farming alone
will not offer solution of the prob
lem, but that study must be made Of
marketing facilities, organization and
community effort In order that some
thing effective may be done.
1t Is admitted that there Is consider
able alarm over the fact that indica-
tions point to sharp rise In the price
OF foodstuffs during the coming win
ter This is particularly the case with
eggs and beef. The former, 1t has
been said, win rise to 75 cents per
dozen, while warnings have been Is
sued that beef may reach the dollar
mark before long.
Secretary Houston has formulated q
list Of questions which are being sent
to farmers In all parts Of the country.
These questions deal with ownership,
tenantry and credits, and from the an
swers Secretary Houston hopes to
