Dr. Rynier Will Bo FW Pliysioian to
Locate In Far North and to Prnlc-
tlce His Profession.
The first white medical man to go
Into the far north with the idea of
creating a permanent practice among
the Eskimos and Indians of those re
gions left Edmonton a few days ago
for Fort Good Hope, 1800 miles
north on the Mackenzie river, says
the Spokane Chronicle.
The hardy doctor entering upon this
trip is Dr. James F. Rymer, an Eng
sh surgeon who has practiced his
profession in England, the United
States and Canada for many years,
slates one report. He does not In
tend to return to civilization for at
ltast three years, and then only on a
brief visit.
Dr. . Rymer will be the first resi
dent medical man In the far north.
nd will have only semi-savages for
patients people who observe neith
er the laws of hygiene nor health. He
will practice much farther north than
the limits where treaty money Is paid
o the aborigines, making his head-
uarters at Fort Good Hope and Fort
McPherson, on the fringe of the Arc
tic ocean, where several virulent
Vrms of disease and fevers have
broken out of recent years among the
atlves, many of whom have died be
cause of the lack of proper medical
help.
Only five' white people live at Fort
Goorl Hope, these Including a Roman
Catholic missionary, a Hudson Bay
torekeeper and his wife, and two
rappers and buyers for the Hilson &
Xagle Fur Trading company. Of
hese five, only two speak English,
French beinir the language In com
mon use, among the Indians at that
point. Dr. Ryner mastered French
many years ago and .expects to be
come acquainted with the several
Indian dialects within the next few
months. He is taking with him
enough medicine in a concentrated
form to last about a year, and has
arranged for another shipment to be
forwarded to him next April.
Dr. Rymer comes of an old Eng
lish medical family, his great grand
father, then a surgeon in the Eng
lish navy, having discovered a euro
for, scurvy nearly 150 years ago. His
father' and grandfather were also
medical men of some standing.
Dr. Rymer Is 43 years of age and a
bachelor. He makes a hobby of pho
tf graphy, and Is also an outhor of
some note, contributing to a number
of London periodicals.
. HANDLING HEAVY TRAFFIC.
Nortliern Pacific Passengers and
Freight By Way of Short Line.
Besides handling a tremendous ex
tra passenger traffic on account of
the washouts In Montana, -the Ore
gon Short Line is carrying hundreds
of thousands of pounds of extra mall
east and west for the Northern Pa
cific, whose lines in Montana are
tied up by floods, says the Pocatello
Tribune.
All mall leaving and reaching Butte
is being handled by the Short Line
through Pocatello. Much of the
Northern Pacific eastbound mall mat
ter from Spokane and the coast was
sent to Sand Point by the Northern
Pacific, with the expectation of rout
Ing it over the Great Northern.
It was then tied up by the wushout
at Basin, and is now returning by
way of Spokane, Pendleton and Po
catello. Each Northern Pacific pas
senger Vain which posses through
the Gate City contains from two to
four cars of mall, Jammed to the
roof. .
The Short Line is handling these
heaxy extra trains In a magnificent
manner. .Trains on the Montana dl
vision are running close to schedule
time. Five N. P. trains, loaded with
perishable goods, were sent out of
Butte over Short Line tracks Mon
day.
Furthermore the Short Line was
In such good shape that day that Dl
vision Superintendent Jones, who was
on the ground near Silver Bow, where
the greatest danger to O. S. L. tracks
threatened, loaned the Northern Pa
clflc a pile driver and its best bridge
and building crew to work along the
washed out N. P. tracks west toward
Garrison.
The route of the Short Line from
Butte to Spokane Is close to 1000
miles longer than the direct Northern
Pacific route between those two
points, but in spite of this fact, many
tickets are being sold In the Copper
City over the line to business men
who must make the trip to Spokane,

Are Your Little Ones Strong
arid Healthy?
There is no mother in the land but
wishes her little ones to be strong and
robust. If they are not, the main cause
of their trouble is usually the inability
of their little stomachs to care for the
food they eat.
The delight of children is pastry,
cookies, cakes and all manner of dainties
which contain more or less grease. If
this class of food is fried or shortened
with lard, it is bound to be more or less
greasy, soggy, indigestible, and wholly
unfit for assimilation by the stomach of
a grown up person, let alone that of a
child.

COTTOLENE keeps the chil
dren's stomachs in a normal, healthy
condition. It is a pure, vegetable pro
duct, which makes . light, digestible,
healthful food. When used to fry or
shorten pastries, cakes, and all such
edibles, the children can eat their fill
and not suffer from the bad after-effects
resulting from such products as lard.
If you value the
neaitu ot your
children, shorten
their food with
