WORD EXPECTED
FROM MCMILLAN
PARTY IN JUNE
Mrs. H. L. Hunt, Wife of Ban
gor Physician, Member of
Party Feels Assured of the
Safety of Members of the Ex-
petition.

Bangor Me, May 1S.-Rumors to the
effect that the Mcmillan party in
northern Greenland. of which Dr. Har-
rison l.. Hunt Of Bangor is surgeon,
had not been heard from for so long a
time as to cause relatives and friends
to worry as to whether they were lost
in the Arctic regions were set at rest
by Mrs. Harrison L. Hunt at her home
in this city, Wednesday. Mrs. Hunt
said that while no word has been re-
ceived from the party since April, 1915,
there is no special occasion to worry
as to the safety of the party, beyond
the fact that they may have had a
severe winter and may have been re-
duced to living like the Eskimos, and
as the Eskimos in that vicinity did
during the winter of 1914-1915.
Mrs. Hunt said that the party was
located 1000 miles above the south
ernmost point of Greenland when last
heard from and this section is exceed
ingly bleak and remote the year round.
AS far as known, the relief ship Cluett
which had been sent to the expedition
last year, did not arrive at the point
where the Mcmillan party was located.
Since then, however. it is probable that
the relief party arrived there, as when
last heard from, it was within 125
miles Of the Crockerland expedition.
In the event that the relief party
did not connect with the explorers, it
is probable that they have been re-
duced to Eskimo fare. which is rather
unpalatable for a white man at the
best, and especially so when the hard
winters come along. Mrs Hunt says
that in the last letter received, DR..
Daily Kennebec journal. [microfilm reel] (Augusta, Me.) 1870-1975, 1916-05-19

Hunt remarked that the winter OF
1914-1915 was one of the hardest the
Eskimos had ever experienced and
they had to eat their dogs.
The Mcmillan party. when they left
civilization in 1913. had two years sup
plies on hand, so unless the relief ex-
petition has reached them. they are
now reduced to Eskimo diet.
Mrs. Hunt expects to hear from her
husband in June when a. ship Is due
in Denmark from Greenland. 1t is
barely possible that the explorers will
come in on that ship. but she does not
expect this, as to make connections, a
500 mile sledge trip would be necessa-
ry. In all probability. they will re-
turn to the United States some time
next fall. When they do come back
they will hear Of a great many i'm
portant events that have happened
since they left their fellow men. They
will get their first information regard
ing the greatest war in history. Dr.
Hunt, in speaking with a Commercial
reporter in 1913, said that the party
was to be connected with civilization
by wireless constantly, but their wire
less apparatus was not strong enough
to reach down to this region, and the
wireless that was to have been set up
in Canada for the purpose Of keep
ing in touch with them was never
erected

MAKING CHILDREN EAT

Nothing Is ever gained by forcing q
child to eat when it refuses food. Make
eurethat nothing is being eaten between
meals TO destroy the natural appetite
and II your growing child does not have
q hcalthfUl craving for good, honest
food at lnealtimes there is something
the matter. Threats of punishment Il
the child does not eat will not correct
the difficulty.
A fitful appetite in a growing child,
especially if the patient is pale, languid,
nervous, irritable, and without ambi-
ton, usually means that the blood is
thin. A non-alcoholic tonic such as
DR.. Williams' Pink Pills is demanded.
During her teens girl lays the foun.
dation for her future health. Lack of
blood at this time may rob her of
robust, healthy womanhood. It is of
the greatest importance to administer
to girls who grow pale and weak safe
tonic and DR. Williams Pink Pills
meet every requirement of the most
careful mother. They make the blood
rich and red and it carries renewed
health and strength to every part of the
body.
Your own druggist sells DR.. vii.
liams' Pink Pills. Send today to the
DR.. Williams Medicine Co., Schenec-
tady, N. Y, for the book, Building
Up the Blood" It is free.

inches Of water running Thursday

recorded since the plant was estab-
lished 10 years ago. The basement Of
the brick part Of the Madison wooden
