PATIENT 8UFFERINQ.
Many Women Think They Are Doomed
to Backache.
White Steamers Use Kerosene as Fuel
Copenhagen.—All Denmark Is await-
ing the arrival of Dr. Frederick A.
Codk. A regal welcome awaits the
man whose announcement from Lor-
wiok on September 1 that he had dis-
covered the north pole, startled the
entire clrlllzed world.
The steamer Hans Egade, on which
the explorer Is returning from the
frosen north, passed Cape Skagen.the
northern extremity of Denmark.
Added Interest has been lent the oc-
caston by the definite statement of
Dr. Cook in an interview off Skagen
that he is able to submit data which
will prove beyond cavil that he has
attained the goal which for centuries
has been the objective point of ex-
plorers. He said he was quite pre-
pared to learn that jealous persons
were at work endeavoring to cust
doubt upon his work, but that he stood
ready to give over hiB figures for a
test by any scientific authority.
A Mental Illusion.
Philadelphia.—That Dr. Cook's re-
ported discovery of the north pole
may be a mental illusion on the part
of the explorer, superinduced by the
monotony of a two years' sojourn in
the polar regions, was the belief ex-
pressed by Dr. Robert M. Keeley of
this city. Dr. Keeley accompanied
Peary on his North Greenland expedi-
tion of 1891-92, and thus became In-
timately acquainted with Dr. Cook,
who was a member of the party. He
said:
"From what I know of the Peary
expedition and the conditions near the
pole, I can only conclude that Dr.
Cook Is making a sincere statement,
but the vefaclty of It Is a question of
mental Illusion.
"I do not believe that it is possible
to reach the pole, but it seems im-
provable that one man can accom-
pllsh the feat. As for the Esquimaux,
their testimony Is valueless.
Within 200 Miles of Peary.
"Peary and Cook were within 200
miles of each other, and If, as report-
ed, Dr. Cook made dally observations,
a comparison of the conditions of the
ice or weather would mean a great
deal. If Peary reports an unusual con-
dition of the ice alone It will partly
confirm Dr. Cook's statement, for with
nothing short of that could the pole
have been reached.
"The ice drift has never been north
ward, according to reports of any of
the explorers in any expedition.
"Traveling 700 miles in seven days,
as Dr. Cook's story would Indicate,
seems Impossible. I confidently be-
lieve that Dr. Cook was affected by
the strain of his Journey and has come
to believe that he has really reached
the pole."
Captain Cacjnl Lauds Cook.
Rome.—A correspondent of the
Trlbuna interviewed Captain Umberto
Cagni, president of the International
Polar commission, and himself an ex-
plorer of note, on his arrival at Gaeta
aboard the battleship Napoli. Captain
Cagnl said that what Dr. Cook had
done was a marvelous piece of enter-
prise worthy of his daring. He be-
lieved Dr. Cook would be capable of
scientifically proving up to a certain
point that he had reached the pole
and declared that one who has the
courage to face the polar dangers can-
not be a man of bad faith."
Within a few weeks at least four
atrocious murders have been commit-
ted in New York, and in no case have
the police ■ been able to intercept the
criminals. To a degree this reflects
upon the Intelligence of the detective
force, yet in justice to the police the
difficulties confronting those who set
out to trail assassins in a big city
should not be overlooked. It is easy
to clamor against the police when a
murder mystery remains unsolved, but
it is well to remember that all great
centers of population have their mys-
terious crimes and their unraveled
clueB, and that this is as true of Euro-
pean cities, where the science of de-
tection has been brought to its high-
est estate, as it is of cities in the
United States.
There are Innumerable holes and
corners 1 nthis huge metropolis where
taking of life can be accomplished
without the cries of the victim being
heard by any human being. The ease
with which a man choked and beat
a woman to death in a dark and ob-
scure hallway on East Thirteenth
street the other night and then coolly
slipped away from the neighborhood
of his crime is typical of the facilities
the city offerB to criminals of the
worst sort. There are hundreds of
tenements on tlje east and west sides
of Manhattan where the sounds of a
fatal scuffle would attract no more
than passing attention from the
people accustomed to drunken brawls
and family squabbles.
And not more difficult than the com
mission of crime is the escape of the
criminal after crime has been com
mitted. Give to a murderer a reason-
able start and there is no place in the
world where he can so readily cover
up his tracks and escape notice as in
a city of 4,000,000 people. And this is
more especially true in those cases
where a fugitive can count on the
assistance of friends to help in baffling
the police, an assistance too common-
ly rendered In the foreign quarters
of New York—Brooklyn Eagle.
It Is not right for women to be al-
ways ailing with backache, urinary
ills, headache and oth-
er symptoms of kid-
ney disease. There is
a way to end these
troubles quickly. Mrs.
John H. Wright, 606
East First St., Mitch-
ell, S. D., says: "I
suffered ten years
with kidney complaint
and a doctor told me I would never
get more than temporary relief. A
dragging pain and lameness in my
back almost disabled me. Dizzy
spells come and went and the kidney
secretions were irregular. Doan's
Kidney Pills rid me of these troubles
and I feel better than for years past."

Vainly Seek Health in Southwest.
According to a statement of the Na-
tional Association for the Study and
Prevention of Tuberculosis fully 7,180
persons hopelessly diseased with
tuberculosis annually come to die in
the states of California, Arizona, New
Mexico, Texas and Colorado, most of
them by order of their physicians. The
statement, which is based upon the
testimony of well-known experts, and
all vailable statistics, shows that at
least 50 per cent of those who go to
the southwest every year for their
health are so far advanced in their
disease that they cannot hope for a
cure in any climate, under any cir-
cumstances. More than this, at least
60 per cent, of these advanced cases
are so poor that they have not suffl
cient means to provide for the proper
necessaries of life, which means that
4,315 consumptives are either starved
to death or forced to accept charitable
relief every year.
Cablegram to Dr. Cook.
New York—America's welcome to
Dr. Frederick A. Cook will be made
one of the principal events of the Hud-
son-Fulton celebration, if the explorer
can be persuaded to hasten his return
to reach New York before the end of
September.
A cablegram was sent to Copenha-
gen, to be given to Dr. Cook. It was
signed by Henry C. Walsh, secretary
of the Explorers' club, and which is
follows:
"Heartiest congratulations on your
splendid achievement by board of di-
rectors of Explorers' club. We urge
you to be guest of honor at Explorers'
d«b dinner September 30.
"WALSH.1
If the plans of the Explorers' club
meet with Dr. Cook's approval, an
International character will be lent
to the celebration by the presence in
New York at that time of several of
the most prominent explorers of other
countries, who will add their tribute
to the official and unofficial ovations
of city, state and nation.

Care In Preparing Food.
In recent years scientists have
proved that the value of food is meas-
ured largely by Its purity; the re-
sult is the most stringent pure food
laws that have ever been known.
One food that has stood out promi
nently as a perfectly clean and pure
food and which was as pure before
the enactment of these laws as it
could ponsibly be is Quaker Oats;
conceded by the experts to be the ideal
food for making strength of muscle
and brain. The best and cheapest of
all foods. The Quaker Oats Company
is the only manufacturer of oatmeal
that has satisfactorily solved the prob
lem of removing the husks and black
specks which are so annoying when
other brands are eaten. If you are
convenient to the store buy the reg
ular size packages; if not near the
store, buy the large size family pack
ages; if in a hot climate, the hermet
ically sealed tins. 1
Pests Worried by Pe8ts.
Since the Dutch philosopher Leeu-,
wenhoek discovered that the pupa of
the flea was sometimes preyed on by
the larvae of a mite, It has been well-
known that various small insects have
their external parasite,. And a re-
cent communication to the Comptes
Rendus of the Biological society of
Paris by M. Bruyant, shows that many
mosquitoes carry about mites in the
larval stage. These described belong
to four different genera. They prob-
ably feed on the integumentary
structures of the mosquitoes.
The most interesting announce-
ment ever made in connection with
the automobile industry was un-
doubtedly that made a month or two
ago to the effect that the new models
of the White Steam Cars could be run
on kerosene, or coal oil, Instead of
gasoline. Everyone at once recog-
nized that the use of the new fuel
would add materially to the advan-
tages which the White already pos-
sessed over other types of cars.
There were some people, however,
who were sceptical as to whether or
not the new fuel could be used with
complete success, and, therefore, the
makers of the White Car, the White
Company, of Cleveland, Ohio, deter-
mined to make a public demonstra-
tion of the new fuel In the 1909 Gild-
den Tour.
From the standpoint of the public,
no test more satisfactory could have
been selected. First of all, the dis
tance covered on the Glidden Tour,
from Detroit to Denver and thence to
Kansas City, was 2650 miles. This
was certainly more than sufficient to
bring out any weaknesses, if such had
existed. Still more important was
the fact that the car was at all times
while on the road under the supervi-
sion of observers named by those
who entered other contesting cars.
Therefore, it would have been impos-
sible for the driver of the White to
have even tightened a bolt without
the fact being noted and a penalty In-
flicted. At night the cars were
guarded by Pinkerton detectives and
could not be approached by any one.
The complete success of the new
fuel while on the 2650-raile public
test and the advantages gained
through its use were well described
In t{ie following dispatch which the
correspondent of the New York Sun
sent to his paper at the conclusion of
the tour:
"A feature of the tour which was
watched with special Interest was
that the White Steamer used kero-
sene, or 'coal oil,' as fuel instead of
gasoline. The new fuel worked
splendidly throughout the 2650-mile
journey, and all claims made in its
behalf were fully proven. First of
all, as regards cheapness, the White
driver secured kerosene all along the
route from 6 cents to 10 cents cheap-
er per gallon than was paid for gaso-
line. Secondly, the new fuel was
handled without any precautions, and
It was not unusual to see kerosene
being poured into the fuel tank while
the crew of the car and an interested
crowd stood by with lighted cigarB
and cigarettes. At the finish of the
tour, the White was the only car per
mitted by the authorities to enter
Convention Hall, where the technical
examination took place, without
draining its fuel tank. Thirdly, the
new fuel proved to be absolutely
without smoke or smell. Fourthly
kerosene could be purchased at what-
ever part of the route was most con
venient, and not once during the trip
through the ten States of the Middle
West was there found a grocery store
where kerosene was not readily and
cheaply obtainable. Finally, the
amount of fuel used on the trtR
showed that kerosene is at leu*
fifteen per cent, more efficient, galloa
for gallon, than gasoline. The car la
other respects made a most credltabla
showing, and there was the usual riv-
alry among the observers to be a
signed to the White so that thef
could ride with the maximum of com-
fort. The only adjustments or re-
pairs charged against the car during
the long trip were tightening a lubri-
cator pipe and wiring a damaged mu4
guard. These penalties were not to-
tiicted until more than 2000 miles
had been completed with an absolute-
ly perfect score."
A particularly Interesting featura
of the new White Steamer Is that
either keroBene or gasoline may ba
used as fuel. The necessary adjust-
ments so that the fuel may be change*
from kerosene to gasoline, or vice
versa, may be made In a couple ot
minutes; but bo completely successful
has kerosene proved to be, that it Ik
not believed that any purchasers will
care to use gasoline.
The White Company report thai
the demand for their new steam cars
—both the $2000-model and the
$4000-model—exceed their most saa-
guine expectations. It is evident thafc
the combination of steam—the pow-
er which everyone understands ani
has confidence in—with kerosene-*-
the fuel which everyone has on hani
and can handle without any danger
—is thoroughly appreciated bf
up-to-date purchasers of autom -
biles.

Facts About Food Worth Knowing.
Topeka Lawyer Arrested.
Topeka, Kan.—David Gross, a To-
peka lawyer, was arrested on the
charge of being one of the principals
ta the kidnaping of Marian Bleakley,
and an aocessory to the assault on
Clarence Belknap, who defended the
little girl. He is in jail without bond.
The officers say that he was at the
bugyy when Mrs. Barclay and Gentry
arrived with the child, and that he
called np Captain F. H. Tillotson in
K&nsas City and told them of the
escape of the kidnapers from thls/clxy.
It is a serious question sometimes to
know just what to eat when a per-
son's stomach is out of order and most
foodB cause trouble.
Grape-Nuts food can be taken at any
time with the certainty that it will
digest. Actual experience of people is
valuable to anyone interested in foods.
A Terre Haute woman writes: "I
had Buffered with indigestion for about
four years, ever since an attack of ty-
phoid fever, and at times could eat
nothing but the very lightest food,
and then suffer such agony with my
stomach I would wish I never had to
eat anything.
"I was urged to try Grape-NutB and
since using it I do not have to starve
myself any more, but I can eat it at
any time and feel nourished and satis-
fled, dyspepsia is a thing of the past,
and I am now strong and well.
"My husband also had an experience
with Grape-Nuts. He was very weak
and sickly in the spring. Could not
attend to his work. He was under
the doctor's care but medicine did not
seem to do him any good until he be-
gan to leave off ordinary food and use
Grape-Nuts. It was positively surpris-
ing to see the change in him. He grew
better right off, and naturally he had
none but words of praise for Grape-
Nuts.
"Our boy thinks he cannot eat a
jneal without Grape-Nuts, and he
learns so fast at school that his teach-
er and other scholars comment on it.
I am Batisfied that it is because of
the great nourishing elements in
Grape-Nuts."
"There's a Reason."
It contains the phosphate of potash
from wheat and barley which combine
with albumen to make the gray mat-
ter to daily refill the brain and nerve
centers.
It is a pity that people do not know
what to feed their children. There are
many mothers who give their young-
sters almost any kind of food and
when they become sick begin to pour
the medicine down them. The real
way is to stick to proper food and
be hoalthy and get along without med-
icine and expense.

Men Will Run Things a Few Years
Yet 18 the Prophecy of the Ob-
servant Drummer.
A group of men were discussing the
possibilities and dangers of woman
suffrage. All but one expressed the
fear that the movement was gaining
such momentum that In a compara-
tively short time this fair land would
be transformed and man no longer
would be master. The exception, a
commercial traveler, with years of
experience in studying human uature,
scoffed at their alarm.
"Don't worry," he said. "We'll be
safe for a good many years yet. in all
my trips about the country I find that
two-thirds of the women travelers,
even those who are self-reliant enough
to gallivant about alone, can't go to
bed even in a sleeping car without
first looking under the berth to see
if there is a man there. So long as
that primitive feminine instinct sur-
vives our institutions are safe."

Thomas Simpson, the Detroit malle-

person, but once he made a joke.
He was sitting with a party of
friends, one of whom was smoking an
enormous cigar. The friend had dif-
ficulty in keeping the cigar going, and
by his repeated lightings had frazzled
the end of it until it was about twice
itB original size. But he kept bravely
at it.
Suddenly Simpson began to laugh.
"What are you laughing at, Tom?"
asked another member of the party.
