MEDAL IS PINNED
ON SIEFANSSO!N'!
Noted Explorer Tells So
ciety How He Lived on
Seals and Polar Bears.

For the first time in ten years and
for the fifth time in its history, the
National Geographic Society last
night awarded the Hubbard gold
medal to a distinguished explorer.
The recipient Of this. the highest
honor within the gift Of the society,
was ViIhjalmur Stefansson, whose
achievements during the last five
years in the Arctic include the re-
duction of the unknown areas of
the polar regions Of the western
hemisphere by approximately 1OO.-
900 square miles, the largest con-
tribution to geography Of unknown
regions in many years
A notable feature Of this historic
occasion Of the award Of the Hub
bard medal was the presence upon
the platform with Mr.. StsfanssOn Of
two Of the worlds most distinguish
ed American explOrers-Rear Ad-
rniraI Robert f. Peary. discoverer of
the North Pole. and Maj Gen. A. w.
Greeley, one OF the most intrepid
geographers Of the nineteenth cen
tury.
Lived On Seals.
Mr.. Stefansson. in his afternoon
and evening lectures before the so
ciety. which were given in the audi
torium Of the new Masonic Temple,
said that during his five years in the
Arctic he did not at any time carry
more than one weeks supply Of food
OF fuel for himself and his COmpan-
ions, explaining that he had learned
10 live on seals. The seals Ond polar
bears furnished the food and the seal
blubber and bones furnished the nee
essary fuel
One OF the most important results
of Mr.. Stefansson's Arctic expert
ences, in addition to his mapping OF
TOCOO square miles Of Beaufort Sea,
1000 square miles Of the Arctic
Ocean west Of Mcclure Strait. and
15,oOO square miles OF land and sea to
the northeast Of St. Patricks Island.
was his realization that the northern
third of Canada and Alaska may
some day become one Of the richest
grazing lands in all the world.
All this region is covered with an
abundant veEetation-nOt trees and
large shrubs. but grass and lichens,
which provide an ideal pasturage
for the mUsk-ON and the reindeer.
Mr.. Stefansson added that only a
few days ago he had received a
letter from the late Col Theodore
Roosevelt promising his support of
Mr.. Stefansson's efforts to interest
the governments of the United
States and Canada in encouraging
the raising of immense herds OF
these animals which may some day
solve the meat problem for man
kind
The only other explorers whom
the National Geographic Society has
hOnOred in the signal way in which
Mr.. StefanssOn was hOnOred last
night have been Rear Admiral (then
COmHander) Robert E. Peary, capt.
Roald Amundsen, Capt. Robert A.
Bartlett, and Grove Carl Gilbert.

Bond Dealer Charged
with S5O0,000 Fraud

Chicago. Jan. 1o.-Millard H. Cutter,
a bond dealer. was arrested tonight,
charged with a $4,000 security fraud.
The specific charge is forgery and
confidence game. Chicago banks were
said to be the victims. According to
the police he has confessed he took
the money to invest in iron and
manganese ventures, believing he
would be enriched by the war. When
the armistiCe was declared the bot
tom dropped out of his enterprises, it
is said, and trouble came when a
bank called a $4,000 loan. He ac-
complished his alleged thefts, it is
said, by submitting to banks and
trust companies bonds purporting to
be the issues of various small towns,
counties and school districts.
These, it is charged, were forgeries.

THE TONIC FOR
NERVOUS WOMEN

IL every tired, nervous, orerwrought
woman would try the simple tonic
method ofstrengthening the nerves by
building up the blood there would be
much less suffering and more happi-
ness in many homes.
Women fret and worry because they
have no reserve Of nervous energy.
The nerves are undernourished and il
is only through the blood that they
can be reached. But the blood must
be rich and red or it loses the power
TO nourish. If your nerves are impoy-
erished read what Mrs. Elizabeth
Fischer, of No. l217 Upper Eighth
street, Evansville, Ind, says:
81 suffered for about three years
with nervous pTostration and was often
confined to my bed. l became ali run
down, my appetite was poor and I
could relish nothing. The least little
excitement made me very nervous and
l could not sleep we'll. Ioften became
hystericai.
II had medicine from our family
doctor but it did not help me. SO
when learned that DR.. Williams Pink
Pills were recommended for nervous
troubles / decided to give them trial.
I used several boxes and found that
they gave me new strength so I kept
on using them until l was well. ]
heartily recommend DR.. Williams
Pink Pills"
These pills are a tonic, not a stimu.
liant. They build up the blood and
have transformed thousands of sick,
grouchy, irritable, tired and nervous
people into active, energetic, capable
efficient men and women.
