Pure Food Expert More Interested In
What Polar Expedition Ate Than
In Discovery Dr. Cook Is
Received Enthusiastically.
WASHINGTON'. Oct. 3. Dr. Frederick
A. Cook. the Arctic explorer, announced
tonight shortly after his arrival from
New York to deliver his lecture that
he will acquiesce In the proposition tha
the University of Copenhagen be asked
to waive its claim to a prior examina
tlon of Cook's records. In order that the
American geographical societies and
other scientific societies in this country
may be enabled to review his data. Ha
said he would be satisfied to have tha
decisions of all these tribunals an
nounced simultaneously.
South Pole Easier to Rea,ch.
When asked If he would fit up an ex
pedltion to go to the South Pole. Dr.
Cook said he was not prepared to an
swer on that point, but he added that
the discovery of the South Pole would be
much easier than that of the ortn
Pole. He pointed out that a probabla
route to the South Pole would be along
stretches of land on which stations
might be established and that thla
would mean a quicker discovery. An
enthusiastic crowd greeted Dr. Cook on
his arrival.
At the station there was a consplc
uous lack of official courtesies to the
explorer. None of the Government sci
entific officials was present to welcome
him. nor were any civic bodies repre
sented.
Meets Newspaper Men.
Dr. Cook in his lecture deviated but
rticntlv from nis previous utterances on
his dash to the Pole and sought to
confine himself more to his travels and
experiences than to discussion of crltl
cisms aimed at him. He asserted that
while he was ld to have discovered the
Pole and was glad al to have returned
to tell the world about It. he had en
deavored to make It plain that his was a
private expedition, and not one backed
bv the Government or by a "polar trust."
After the lecture Dr. Cook was the
guest of the National Press Club. He
met personally . the newspaper men of
Washington and made a brief address.
Among the gueets of the evening was
Dr. Harvey W. Wiley, the Government s
pure food expert. After Dr. Cook was
introduced to Dr. Wiley, the latter began
to ply the explorer with queptlons.
Wiley Objects to Pcmmlcan.
'Now I want you to tell me what
'pemmican is.'" demanded Dr. Iley,
who appeared more Interested in what
the explorer had to eat on his Polar dash
than in the. discovery of the Pole. Dr.
Cook explained that "pemmican" con-
sisted of strips of meat without the fat.
dried in the 'sun, and pounded together
with melted fat and often dried vege
tables. "
Dr. Wlly shook his head and said:
"Well, if that's the case. I guess we'll
have to pueh the prosecutions1 under the
pure food law to the North Pole.
WHITNEY BETWEEN TWO FIRES
Anxious About Records Peary Has,
but Fears to Displease Cook.
' NEW TORK. Oct. X (Special.) How
ever Harry Whitney turns in his atti
tude toward either of the two eminent
North Pole controversialists, he flnd3
himself Impaled on the horns of a dilem
ma. This is the secret of his sudden
plunge Into seclusion the moment of his
return to civilization.
There is no doubt the young millionaire
feels he Is in a rather tight position in
his relations with Peary. The Com
mander has In his custody all the treas
ures Whitney gathered during his 14
months sojourn above the rim of the
Arctic Circle. Whitney collected scores
of Immensely valuable skins.
Whitney was desperately anxious to
come down to New York and see Peary
about the disposition of his trophies and
phptographs. He feared, however, to
bump up against Dr. Cook before he saw
Peary. He did not want Peary to think
. he had gone first to Cook. At the same
time for some reason that is hidden away
in the undercurrents of his mind, he did
not want to offend Cook by first going
to Peary.
PREACHER CRITICISES COOK
Methodist Minister Censures Explor
er for Lecture on Sunday.
WASHINGTON. Oct. 3. Vigorously
criticising Dr. Cook for lecturing here on
Sunday. Dr. C. E. Guthrie, of Hamllne
Methodist Episcopal Church, declared
from his pulpit tonight that he thought
it a shame the explorer should get a
theater to open on the Sabbath and draw
people to listen to a secular lecture, when
thy should be in church.
He also arraigned the discoverer for
seizing upon his scientific exploits so
quickly as a means of earning money.
ESKIMO EATS HIS CHILD
Falling to Obtain Meat, Father Turns
Cannibal.
ST. JOHNS. N. K.. Oct. 3. An Eskimo,
driven by starvation, ate his child, ac
cording to a story brought from the
Far North today y the Hudson Bay
Company's steamer Adventure, which
arrived with the crew of the lost Dun-
dee whaler. Paradox.
The whaler met the fate of her com
panion ship. Snowdrop, when she was
crushed In the ice floes of Befflihland
early in August a year ago. The crew,
with scanty provisions, made their way
o-er the broken ice toward the main
land and were picked up by the steam
er this Fall.
The story of the Eskimo's cannibal
ism was mad Known in dispatches
sent on the Adventure by the mounted
police. The man's hunting and fishing
season had failed and. mad by hunger,
he cut the throat of one of his children
and then ate the little victim.
When the man's neighbors learned of
the crime they attacked him, according
to the primitive law of the race. The
outcast beat off all assaults, shot down
several of the attacking party and
escaped Into the trackless wilderness
of Ice. His fate Is unknown.

Captain J. Ev Bernler, which has been
in the Far North for more than a year,
reached here tonight. Captain Bernler
refused to talk of his trip, paying he
must first report to the Minister of
Marine.
From members of the crew it was
learned the ship got as far north as S4
degrees on August 19. 1908. Plenty of
game was found. Including white bear,
muskoxen. deer, fox and fur-bearing
animals, but no seals, whaler or Eskimos
were seen. There was little snow, the
moss being exped on the lr adjacent
to which the Caradlan flag was planted.
The expedition was arranged primarily
to collect customs duties from the Ameri
can whalers operating in northern Cana
dian waters. It was alpo commissioned to
riant the British flag as a sign of
Canadian ownership on all Islands and
other parts of land In the Arctic seas
which hitherto had been unclaimed.
It also carried a quantity of supplies
intrusted to the Canadian government by
friends of Dr. Cook at a time when fears
for his safetv had been aroused by the

week ended today before a large crowd,
which was compensated for the disap
pointments of the preceding days by a
sensational flight after sunset by Hubert
Latham. f
All day long Latham had been dogged
by misfortune. First his motor went
wrong. At length, after three failures, he
made an easy start, but it was two min
utes after sunset, and although he reached
a height of 39 feet greater than Rongler's
record of yesterday, he was dissatisfied
Latham flew repeatedly around tha field.
He hovered above the tribunes with abso
lute stability, amid great enthusiasm.
When he reached this altitude he
stopped the engine and glided down so
swiftly that he appeared to fall 300 feet,
while everybody held his breath. At this
point he started his motor again and
made a safe and easy landing. Latham
estimated that he ascended between 600
and 1000 feet, but the officials sig
nalled 5S0.
Following are the results of the compe
titions as announced by the officials:

While Eczema, Acne, Tetter, Salt Bheum, etc., are troubles which affect
the skin, their source Is far deeper than the outside cuticle. These affections
are caused by Irritating humors, or uratlc acid in the blood. Such impurities
Inflame and irritate the delicate net-work of fibrous tissue which lies just
beneath the surface of the outer skin, and the inflammatory discharge thus
produced is forced out through the pore3 and glands, and is continually
kept up while the blood remains infected. This exudation causes the form
ation of scales and crust3 so often seen in Eczema, and when they are
scratched off the flesh is left raw and more susceptible to other infection.
It can very readily be seen then that to produce a cure the circulation must
be purified and cleansed. This S. S. S. will do. It goes down to the very
bottom, removes all humors and impurities, neutralizes the excessive acids
of the system and in this way removes the cause of disease. Local applica
tions can only soothe the irritation and assist in keeping the skin clean; they
never produce a cure because such treatment does not reach the blood.
S.S.S. restores to the thin, acrid blood all its lost properties, makes it
pure and rich and enables it to nourish the skin and keep it soft, smooth
and healthy. Book oa Skin Diseases and any medical advice free to all
