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.

N, Parsons, Grants Pass, 407 THE MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDlfORD, OREGON, TUESDAY, 1 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: Renrilntr on Hydrotn.

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. (Signed) MRS. S, E. STRICKLAND I verify the above statemont L. STRICKLAND. January 14, 1910.
