GERMANY IS IN RACE
FOR TIE SOUTH POLE
Lieut. Fllchncr of Army Staff Has
Made All Plans for a Start In
October.
RKRLTK. March IS. A German
South Pole expedition has been vir
tually arranged by Lieut. Filchner of
the army general staff, under tho
auspices of tho geographical society.
At . n nipctini? of the society this ov-
cnincr ha announced that the oxpedi-
4nn will Rtnrt next Octobor if the
moAssnn- moiiev is obtainod. An cx
pedition with two vessels will need
ftr00 (100, with ono vesfl 50,000.
Tho plan is to send a vessel with
revisions over Shackolton's routo
und nslAlilish a deDot about half-way
to his winter quarters. Tho regular
expedition would start later from
Weddell Land, on the opposite side
of tho Polo, and make a dash across
to the depot
Dr. Penck. chairman of tho Geo
,j$Taphical society, announced that an
annovmous donor has given $75,000,
and Liout. Filchner has promises of
S15.000 more.
Filchner, a well known explorer,
was one of tho first to roach Lhnssa,
Thibet. In 1903 and 1905 ho ex
plored Turkcctan and Persia. In an
interview tonicht ho said:
"I am prepared to start at any
moment. AI thou eh I have not done
any Polnr exploring and do not know
any Polar oxplorers personally, l tm
ly believe in the practicability of tho
nlan. T have obtained leavo of ab
sence and already many influential
persons are interested in the scheme."
Dr. Otto Nordenskjold, an Anarc
tio explorer who-was at tho meeting,
expressed the opinion that the plan
is feasible
WASHINGTON, March 15 "The
more, tho merrier," was tho comment
of President llcnry Gannett of the
National Geographical Society today
when he learned tho news that the
Germans have decided to enter the
race for the South Polo.
Whether tho Americans finally will
be in the race with a joint expedition
of tho Peary Arctic Club of New
York and the National Geographical
Society of Washington depends on
tho result of a request made by the
geographical society of its 55,000
members for $50,000 as its thare for
outfitting the expedition.
CORSETS, PERFUMERY
FOR RURAL MANIACS
DODGEVILLE. Wis., March 15.
Maybe a $4 corset is tho propor thing
to provide an bmate in a rural Wis
consin insane asylum, but tho count
board of Iowa county is greatly-aggrieved
over tho discovery that this
and similar expenditures have boon
thj rule for soma years b tho county
asylum, which, as the special inves
tigating committee reports, cost $4,
000 more then should hr.a t
cnfio in tho loot four yoars. There is
no charge of improper uso of money
by tho superintendent, E. J. Perkins
Tho investigating committee found
these among the expenditures: Half
dozen corsets, $24; perfume, three
bottle, at $1.27; perfume, amount
not snecifiod. $5.82; perfume, two
bottles, $5.50; one-quarter dozen
gloves, $3; other items for gloves of
higher quality, $15 and $24 per doz
en; shoes at from $2.75 to $3.50 per
pair.
Tho report of tho Btatc bonrd of
control declares tho inmates au in
as good condition physically as in
any asvlum in the stats. '

LIME-SULPHUR SPRAY
AND ITS STRENGTH
Professor C'Gara Writes of tho
Strepflth of Lime Sulphur Spray
and tho Proper Strength.
By P. J. O'Gara, Assistant Pathologist
U. S. Dept. Agriculture
Tho Question Is otton asked, how
stronc shoutd tho time-sulphur spray
be used; in other words, how should
tho commercial llmo-sulphur mixture
be diluted so as to produco tho best
resutlts tor spraying nt this tlmo ot
tho ytfar? It all commercial llme-sul
phur sprays were of tho samo degree
ot concentration this would be an
easy auestlou to answer, but It Is
well known that thero Is conslaora
blo variation In density, and thoro-
foro the amount ot dilution should
not be tho oamo tor all brands or con
centrations.
Everyone who wishes to do effec
tive spraying with Ume-aulpnur
should provide himself with an hy
urometer. Hydrometers aro of two
kinds, tho Beaume and tho specific
Kravity. which dlffor In tho stand
ards of measurements on which tho
graduated scales aro basod. Readings
on the formor aro given In numer
als, expressed In degrees, whllo those
on tho latter aro mado In decimals.
The hydrometer recommended Is tho
Beaume, with a range ot 0 to 36 de
grees. All manufacturers of llmo
sulphur compounds usad for spraying
give the test on the contalnero In de
grees Beaume. It must bo under
stood that hydrometers do not de
tect Impurities tn tho llmo-sulphur
solutions; such can only be determin
ed by chem'cal analysses. Hydrom
eters may be purchased from Bausch
& Lomb Optical company, San Fran
cisco, Cal., or any druggist or op
tical company In Medford may fur
nish them on short notice.
If the brand of concentrated lime
sulphur solution Is of uniform
strength tho Question of dilution Is
not difficult, lut since no two lota
are over ot the same density tho
amount ot water required will vary
In accordance with tho concentration.
In order to get tho bost results In
spraying at this season of tho year
with lime-sulphur tho following table
for diluting solutions of varying con
centration Is given:

PLANTING BEING. PUSHED
AT SUHCREST ORCHARDS
"Yes,, I expect to finish up my
planting in the Suncrest orchards
very soon," said Dr. Pajjo today.
"The 450 acres in the tract will be
practically all planted this season.
Adevrtising will not sell it unless
it!s worth your price and t will
sell it if it is.
TWO LIVES SAVED.
I wish to testify that my husband
was suffering for a long tlmo from
stomach trouble and a complication
that various physicians declared to
be Brlght's Disease, and was given
up by them to die. Ho then consult
ed Dr. T. Wah Hlng at No. 725 J
street. Sacramento, who cured the
trouble entirely. This was soven
years ago and thoro has been no re
turn ot tho complaint.
My little boy, Virgil Strickland
was shot through the stomach and
InteBtlnoa and the doctors said he
could not live unless he was opor
ated on and Dr. Hint: cured him
without a knife. That was In Sept
1907, and tho IKUo boy Is enjoying
good health over since.
We formerly reslsed at No. 215
Eighteenth street, and have since
moved to 3307 East Avenue, Oak
Park. I cheerfully recommend Dr
Hlng's services to anyone needing
medical attention.
