sTEFANssoN TELLS
HOW RESCUE PARTY.
SHOULD HELP HIM

Washington, Nov. 23-In a letter to
Rear Admiral Peary, made public to-
day, Vilhjalmur Stefansson, COM
mander Of the Canadian Arctic Elk
petition, outlined his plans of explor-
atoms for t. = next two years and ex-
planned what steps should be taken to
rescue him under certain conditions.
Should nothing be heard of us by
November, 1917" Mr.. Stefansson
wrote, cit is to be presumed that
something beyond our control has de-
layed us. I am Of the opinion that
in the spring of 1913 a ship or ships
should be- sent north from the At
lantic to look for us if we have not
been heard from.
my best guess is that the Bear
will winter next year on the south
coast of Melville Island, but If ice
conditions are exceptionally good we
may attempt to get indefinitely farther
north. I have given the government
a list of places at which beacons may
be built and records may be left eth
er in 1917 or later by u.s.
Mr.. Stefansson expressed the hope
that he would be able to approach
so near MacMil1an's farthest coming
from the west that he could demon
strate the presence or absence Of
Croker Land. The letter is dated
Cape Kellett, Banks Island, Jan. II,
1915.

who is sick-who is too weak to exer-

Tho above statement is a part of
one of the interesting talks that are
being given daily by T. s. Jackson,
the Wilderb Tonic expert, at Hind1e's
Main and State street store. He con-
tinued.
Right living and right thinking are
the most important factors in health.
Medicine only gives the sick a chance
Don't try to live on Wilderbs or any
other medicine. Good food, exercise,
recreation, cheerfulness, fresh air,
sunshine and work are the everyday
needs. You will notice that I do not
include tobacco or alcohol. Such slim
ulants are seldom necessary. DR..
Pierce of Buffalo, when he produced
the Wilderb treatment, had the inter-

heart. He wanted you to get over
your troubles and be well and strong
again. We don't want the Wilderb

Wi1derbs (fulI extract) is composed
of the most beneficial plants and
herbs known to science. It is en-
tireIy vegetable and contains no
chemicals to produce violent or sudden
effect. Medicines that give immediate
stimulation or act strongly on the
bowels have an Injurious reaction that
is dangerous to the system.
The Wilderb treatment is none the
less powerful in its results. It builds,

You must gently assist nature. If you

action, you will surely regain your
health.
Bridgeport people are enthusiastic

your Wilderbs has done more for
my nervousness than anything I have
ever used, said Mrs. William A. Dis
brow of 202 Gilbert street. I used to
be nervous as a witch. Is it any won
der I recommended it? I suffered
from liver trouble, neutritis and neu-
ralgia. I was so nervous I shook like
a leaf at times and my eyes would get
so weak I couldn't see a thing. This
neuritis would cause a pain across
my shoulders that would almost par
alyze me and the pains from neuralgia
were terrible to bear, too. I was so
nervous it was almost impossible for
me to go to sleep and the next morn
ing I was dead tired and life was not
worth living. Widerbs was recon-
mended to me and I started taking it.
After finishing the first bottle I began
to ''perk'' up. My gain in strength is
something wonderful. My eyes give
me no more trouble and I am no
longer subject to nervous attacks. The
neuritis pains are gone and I have no
more bilious troubles, so know my
liver is all right again. / can now get
good nights rest and feel refreshed
and strong through the day. I think
Wilderbs is a grand medicine. T. S.

night, Henry r. CoDleigh. president.
and Walter N. Polakov, consulting
engineer of the Power Plant Co. Of
New York city, discussed problems Of
power production. Both insisted that
the worth OF the power plant lies in
the ability of the employees there to use
coal efficiently and economically. They
advocated a general bonus system
Mr.. Polakov suggested that the
manufacturers first inspect their
power plants and then adopt system
for running the boilers which would
develop efficiency and economy. Mr..
Cobleigh said in part that. the reason

Commissioners to Re-
vive Rule

Policemen will be barred from rid
ing on the fire apparatus, according
to an order adopted by the fire COM
missioners at their meeting last night,
which was sent to the police commits
sion today. The order calling at
tention to the rule of the commits
sioners that none but members Of
the department may ride on the ap-
paratus is issued because of the in

Seaview and Crescent avenues, work
men were repairing the Warrenite
roadway and there was only a narrow
passageway in the street The truck
brushed a telegraph pole there and
one of Ladderman S. Murphy's toes
was broken. Policeman Mrazik was
crushed between the truck and the
pole and he received injuries from
which he has not yet sufficiently re-
coveed to perform duty.
Capt. Edward Madden gave a brief
report to the fire commissioners last
night. w. r. Hopkins was driving the
truck. It has been a common prac-
tice for policemen to jump on ap-
paratus and ride. to fires within or
near their beats. Clerk John J.
Hines Of the board, has been instruct
ed by the commissioners to notify the
captains Of all fire companies to pre-
vent this practice in the future.
The board meeting was brief ses-
sion. It was voted to meet in ex-
ecutive session next Wednesday and
discuss appropriations which may be
necessary for the coming year and to
make preliminary arrangements for
the budget which they will ask, from
the board of apportionment. The
commissioners said they have not de-
cided what appropriations for appar-
atus or new fire houses they might
ask for. The board of apportion-
ment will be required to find money
to meet the increase in pay Of the fire.
men which the common council is GER
tain to approve next month.
Firemen throughout the state have
been very healthy during the past
month and up to last night report
was received from the State F'iremen's
Sick Benefit association saying that
there has been no occasion to pay
sick benefits since Oct. or up to
date.
Wilbur F. Wade requested that
fire hydrant directly in the rear of his
home be moved The hydrant will
interfere with passage to a garage he
intends to erect. The board voted
that the hydrant be moved provided

session lasted only 20 minutes.

MERGE and trade unless it fosters
spirit of friendship and Partially for
its own products and institutions. 1t
is the spirit of the hive that makes
the wheels of industry turn and each
community should be progressive
unit in our industrial universe. All
things being equal the farmer should
patronize the local merchant, who is
always good citizen, heavy tax
payer and friend of the farmer. The
farmer sends shiploadI of raw mate
rial to foreign markets and factories
that meet on their way vessels laden
with finished and foreign grown prod
ucts coming to America. Any effort
TO minimize this economic waste
ought to be encouraged.
But as a farmer ano friend of the
manufacturer and merchant want to

movement. The manufacturer and
1obber may blow loud blasts on the
horn of patriotism but if they will put
an "ad" in the newspapers in their
trade territory making business pres
entation of their goods, they will find
it far more effective than waving the

the things he has to buy as in the
price of the things he has for sale
and the advertising columns of his
newspaper are his price list. The
price is the thing and the farmer
wants the figures in cold type. The
politicians give him all the patriotic
buncombe he cares for. Business en-
terprise is a far more successful
salesman than business patriotism.
There are many most worthy organ
1zations working to promote COM
merce and trade but we seldom find
organized effort to promote the press,
yet it is recognized as the most power
full agency for progress the world has
ever produced. We have all sorts of
days calculated to promote business
and honor industry such as Trades
Days, Bargain Days, Labor Day, etc..
why not have a Press Day and
all business concerns advertise the
things they have to sell and everybody
subscribe for the local paper and all
delinquents pay year in advance?
There is nothing SO elevating in civ
ilization as the smile of an editor and
nothing will contribute more toward
the welfare of community than the
prosperity of the press.
The farmer is friend and patron
of the newspapers. He subscribes for
the local paper and reads every line
in it and it is the best investment he
can make. There is no news so valu-
able as store news; no information
30 interesting as market demands; and
no tragedy so entertaining as the rise
and fall Of prices and no page more
closely studied by the farmers than
the advertising columns of the press.

SUBSCRIPTION RATES
U. S. AND MEXICO in TIMES PAST.

In the war of l847 the beginning of TIE
struggle between the United States and
Mexico was. not unlike the present pre-
limnary clashes. General Taylor in his
arduous campaign against Monterey had
7OO) men, but even after the capture of
Monterey and the victory of Buena Vista
he was confronted with such difficulties
in the southern advance that it was fl
nally decided to abandon the campaign
in that qurrter. Shortly afterward Tay-
lor's forces were reduced to about 5000
men and the real invasion CT Mexico was
made by Generel Winfield Scott by way
of Vera Cruz. An army of ~12, coo men
captured Vera Cruz after siege lasting 20
days. Fewer men were used to capture
the city two years ago and tue siege lasted
only few days.
The march into the interior was delayed
for month because Scott's army was
deficient in transportation facilities.
The first battle fought at Cerro Gorde re
suited in victory for the Americans
Scott pushed on to Pueblo, where he was
compelled to wait for two months for re-
Inducements. By the time he was ready
to start 80, 900 Mexican troops had been
drawn up to defend the City of Mexico.
General SCOTS march from Vera Cruz
occupied six months. Against superior
forces at the gates of Mexico City he won
al overwhelming victory. Estimates
vary as to the number Of men engaged on
tie Mexican it is the opinion of army,
officers that only about $4,000 men were
engaged on that SIDE while on the Amer
lean side, guarding the border and in
Guiding the troops at Vera Cruz, nearly
100000 soldiers were used all told during
the two years of warfare.
1t is probable that Mexico at The pres
ent time could raise 100000 trained sol
diers. The American Army is smaller
now than it was in l847. Mexico City is
better fortified than it was i'm the earlier
war and so also are it's various approach
