TO HONOR DR. COOK.
National and State Welcome in Prepa-
ration.
' Preparations already afoot In New
York City to make the homecoming
of Dr. Frederick A. Cook an event of
national , and possibly international ,
importance. If the plans outlined Fri-
day by members of the Arctic club
are carried out the welcome home I
which Dr. Cook will receive in New I
York will be an ovation in which city , .
state and nation will take part , while
prominent explorers-Cook's former
riyals-from all parts of the globe will
gather to pay their personal- tribute
to his achievements.
Among the most notable of those
who in all probability will be there to
greet Dr. Cook on his return wfll be
Lieut. Shackelton , the Englishman ,
whose recent explorations in the ant-
arctic , during which he succeeded in
pushing nearer to the south pole than
any previous explorer , made him a fig-
ure of world-wide prominence.
Members of the Arctic club hope
that President Taft may himself be
present as the nation's representative
to welcome Dr. Cook. ,
Among the explorers who are ex-
pected to take a prominent part in the
welcome to Dr. Cook are the duke
of Abruzzi , Dr. Fritzjof .Nansen , Capt.
Ronald Amundsen , Gen. A. W. Gree-
ly l , Rear Admiral George Melville , and
Anthony Fiala , of New York.
No definite date has yet been set
for Dr. Cook's arrival. Capt. Bradley
S. Osborne , secretary of the Arctic
club , said that the explorer is not ex-
pected for several weeks.
All new territory discovered by Dr.
Frederick A. Cook when he reached
the north pole will belong to the
United States by right of discovery.

ons , Sr. The door of the room was

an was strangled. The husband noti-
fied the police , who went to the home
of the Hartranfts to ascertain the

The dream of finding the north pole
has for centuries lured explorers , sci
entists and daring- adventurer ! Wheth-
er this dream has now become a real-
ity by the achievement of Dr. Freder-
ick A. Cook , of Brooklyn , N. Y. , rests
thus far upon the reports cabled from
Copenhagen Wednesday apparently
through an official source. At the' same
time Dr. Cook cables a laconic mes-
sage from Lerwick ; Shetland islands ,
whence he is proceeding to Copenha-
gen , saying :
"Successful. Well. Address Copen-
hagen. " -
That Dr. Frederick A. Cook , the
American explorer , reached the north
pole in his expedition which has just
ended ; was given full credence in Co
penhagen , , although details are lack-
ing of his intrepid dash across the ice.
A message was received at the colo-
nial office Wednesday via Lerwick ,
Shetland islands , announcing that Dr.
Cook had reached the pole April 21 ,
1908. This dispatch was sent by a
Greenland official on board Danish
government steamer Hans Egede ,
which passed Lerwick at noon en
route for Denmark , and read as fol-
lows :
"We have on board the American
traveler. Dr. Cook , who reached the
I
north pole April ' 21 , 1908. Dr. Cook I
arrived at Upernavik in May of 1909
from Cape York. The Eskimos of
York confirm Dr. Cook's story of hi :
journey. "

recent trial trip and had to be sent

ries eight 12-inch guns. She is a sister

All Can \VorJc and Try.
Milton wrote : "Who best can suf
fer , best can do. " The progress and
euccess of the other fellow always
looks easy. But only the other fellow
knows all about it. We cannot all
work just the same way. Brilliant
minds make great leaps. They are
daring and courageous. Timid ones
must plod because it is their nature.
The old saying , "What others have
done , I can do , " Is not strictly true ,
and Is misleading to the inferior in-
tellect. A strong man can lift great
weights , for he has the muscu 1
strength. Weaker men canntft /0
what he has done. But they can / $ . _ ork _
and try. That's about all th7t most
of us can do.
SENSE ABOUT FOOD.
Tact About Food Worth Knowing.
. It is a serious question sometimes to
know just what to eat when a per-
son's stomach is out of order and most
foods cause trouble.
Grape-Nuts food can be taken at any
time with the certainty that It will di-
gest. Actual experience of people is
valuable to anyone interested in foods.
A Terre Haute woman writes : "I
had suffered with indigestion for about I
four years , ever since an attack of I ]
typhoid fever , and at times could eat j
nothing but the very lightest food , and jj (
, then suffer such agony with my stom-jl
, ach I would wish I never had to eat ] ]
anything. t. Pj
. " 1 was urged to try Grape-Nuts andjl
since using it I do not have to starve ' ! '
starvi
;
myself any more , but I can eat it atj ; |
any time and feel nourished and satisl' '
fled , dyspepsia is a thing of the past !
and I am now strong and well. I
"My husband also had an experience
with Grape-Nuts. He was very WP.t ,
and sickly in the spring. Com o'
attend to his work. He was put un'
der the doctor's care but medicine dir *
not seem to do him any good until h f
began to leave off ordinary food anI !
use Grape-Nuts. It was positively ! sun'
prising to see the change in " him. H | '
grew better right off , and naturally b : , t' 1
has none but words of praise fd b
Grape-Nuts. I
"Our boy thinks he cannot eat JI J
meal without Grape-Nuts , and I ' fl ! !
learns so fast at school that his teacif !
er and other scholars comment on ,1
I am satisfied that It is because of trf i
great nourishing elements in Grar/ /
Nuts. " If

It Is a pity that knl
people do not 1m
what to feed their children. There d '
many mothers who t
give their '

they become sick begin to pour
medicine down them. The " eal TO
