he began his work in 1892. the death
rate OF children under years Of age
was 96.2 per thousand in New York city.
According TO Health Department figures
there has been steady decrease since,
until in 1920 the percentage reached was
2s.S per thousand for the year.
Infant milk stations have now been
established in thirty-six cities of the
United States and pasteurization has
gained favor in Canada, England. and
on the Continent. A report received by
Mr.. Straus from the department of pub

showed that infant mortality rates there
had dropped from 1897 per thousand

Mr. Straus told how in the beginning
he was met with incredulity, or with
derision or with open and bitter attack.

esteem for the Bowdoin explorer.
But close TO his bosom Macmillan is
carrying two other gifts. These are
small American flags of silk, the one
presented by the local Masonic Lodge
and the other by Kane Lodge OF New
York city. Mac" says that. if he should
not be destined to return, these fiags
will be upon his body, but that. should
he live to come back he intends to re-
store each flag TO its donor with writ
ten log of his trip attached to 1t.
The Bowdoin carries twenty rifles, six
automatic pistols and many barrels OF
ammunition suitable for protection and
for baggng big game. Much game will
be needed for food. for MacMillan's s
canned supplies will last only a COM
paratively short time. and after he
takes to his dog sledges only small
amounts can be carried A wireless
outfit also is included in his equipment.
The vessel and her outfit cost approx
imately $4,000. The trip. before its COM
pietion. will go into many thousands
more. All of the expense, except $1,000
allowed by the Government. is borne by
Mr.. Macmillan and his college friends.
The craft and its equipment is owned
by his college society. Macmillan says
that this adventure, II IL does not cost
him his life, will cost him just about
every dollar he has Should he live to
return to the United States he will come
home broke and will have to look to a
future living from the sale of such
books or other material as he may write
describing his experiences.
Among the well wishers who waved
their farewells as the Bowdoin glided
away were Mr.. MacMillan's sister. Mrs.
Fogg Of Provincetown. With her was

Then there Is Jonathan c. Small of
Provincetown, Mass, who is known far
and wide as "Jot' Small. He is a boy

Until not long before sailing time the
cabin Of the Bowdoin had been more or

miscellaneous cargo. Among other odds
and ends destined to delight the hearts
of the Arctic highlanders are scores Of
tiny dolls, lavishly dressed and donated
by the good folk of Wiscasset and by
the members of an Episcopal church in
Dorchester. The Wiscasset enterprise
was ably sponsored by Mrs. Charles

friend in this town.

Scrofula Most Progr- ssive Now.

Sudden changes of weather are es-
pecially trying, and probably to none
more so than to the scrofulous and con-
sumptive.
The progress of scrofula during nor
NAL autumn is commonly great.
1t is probable that few people ever
think of scrofula-its punches, eruptions,
and wasting of the body without think
ing of the benefit many sufferers from
it have derived from Hoods Sarsaparilla,
whose success in the treatment of this
one disease alone would be enough to
make it what it is, one of the most
famous medicines in the world.
There is probably not a city or town
where Hood Sarsaparilla has not prov
ed its merit in more homes than one,
in arresting and completely eradicating
scrofula, which is almost as serious and
as much to be feared as its near relative
consumption.

CAPT. HENRY H. MARDEN

Capt. Henry H. Marden died in Seattle
July 81 He was born July %, 1853.
When nine years old he made his first
voyage, going to the West Indies in a
sailing ship commanded by the father.
When the Civil War began the father,
although within month of the age limit,
left the sea and enlisted in the End Maine
Infantry. The son devoted his boyhood
to working to help his mother and the
younger members of the family. At the
end of the war the father returned home
broken in health.
At the age of IA years, Captain Marden
began his sea career on square rigger.
He made many voyages to the ports of
Europe, China, Japan, Australia, New
Zealand, the Straits Settlements, South
America and other regions, gaining an
intimate knowledge of the great world
shipping centers. A serious illness with
which he was stricken while in port in
Hamburg, Germany, in 1877, forced him
to give up the sea for two years during
which he worked as marine reporter.
Returning to the sea, he sailed out of
New York for two years until 1881, when
he crossed the continent and settled in
Astoria, Ore. He was married in Astoria
in 1883 to Miss Matilda l.. McMurtry,
native of California. During the last 80
years until within about four months of
his death he served continuously as
steamboat pilot.
Captain Marden was known as man
of iron courage A number of years ago
he plunged overheard to save sailor
from drowning in the Sound, running
double risk. He was almost caught in
the revolving propeller of steamship.
Once on a sailing ship, member of the
crew contracted smallpox. All hands
Immediately deserted the ship except
Captain Marden. He carried the sailor
on his back to small boat and took him
ashore to hospital. These are only two
of many instances of his courage.
Besides his widow, he is survived by
son, W. S. Marden, member of the sal
mon department of Libby, McNeill &
Libby, and daughter, Mrs. Evelyn Mar
den Bate of Nanaimo, B. c.
