The North Pole Discussions: During
ttye week past the discussion between
Dr. Cook and Commander Peary, as to
whether the former did or did not reach
the north pole in the year 1908, has
waxed warm. Peary has described the
claim of Cook as "a gold brick," and
Cook charges Peary with appropriating
the supplies from his cache, and Peary
insists that what he did was to rescue
these supplies when they had been
abandoned by those in charge. Both
men are expected in the United States
shortly.
Quick Money Making is illustrated by
a story that is going the rounds of the
papers concerning dealings of a syndicate
in which Mr. Harriman is reported
to have had a part. The syndicate
bought the Chicago & Alton railroad for
$40,000,000. It reorganized the company
in such a way that $22,000,000 of stock
and $8,000.00 of bonds was transfnrmert
into $40,000,000 of new stock and $54,000,000
of new bonds. That is, the old
thirty million was transformed into
ninety-four million. Then the bonds
were sold to innocent purchasers at a
price 40 per cent higher than the members
cf the syndicate paid for them.
And these men became millionaires?
muti-millionaires.

An Observation of the Planet Mars has
been taken from the top of Mount Whitney,
in California. The mountain is
14,100 feet high. The question in the
mind of Prof. Campbell, of the Lick
LuiTcian}, ia wiietucr mere is waier un
the planet. Observations taken at lower
altitudes would not answer this question
because of the vapor in the earth's atmosphere,
which could not be discriminated
from vapor on the planet Mars.
From the mountain top, where there Is
little or no vapor, he obtained good results.
He reports that there is very
little vapor or water on that planet, and
that, therefore, animal life of the same
character as that which obtains on this
earth could not well be sustained there.
The Strike at Pittsburg was settled,
and on fair terms. The employers agreed
to definite pay for the workers instead
of indefinite, and made other eonees
sions. But the arrangement was only
temporary. New demands have been
made by the workmen, and the strike
has been renewed with a renewal of
violence.
The Loss of Revenue to the United
States treasury by reason of the decrease
of whiskey produced during the last fiscal
year is six million dollars; and the
loss on the production of beer Is two
million dollars. If there be eight millions
less of revenue, there must be eighty
million of dollars of saving, of the
money hitherto wasted on these intoxicants.
Prohibition does diminish the
consumption of alcohol.

The coffee drinker who has suffered
and then been completely relieved by
changing from coffee to Postum knows
something valuable.
He or she has no doubt about it. A
California lady says:
"I learned the truth about cofTee In a
peculiar way. My husband who has for
years been of a very bilious temperament
decided to leave oft coffee and give Postum
a trial, and as I did not want the
trouble of making two beverages for
meals I concluded to try Postum, too,
and the results have been that while
my husband has been greatly benefited,
I uave myself received even greater bene
ni.
"When I began to drink Postum I was
thin In flesh and very nervous. Now I
actually weigh 16 pounds more than I
did at that time and I am stronger physically
and in my nerves, while husband
is free from all alls."We
have learned our little lesson
about coffee, and we know 'something
about Postum, too, for we have used
Postum now steadily for the last three
years, and we shaii always continue to do
so.
^
we imve uu mure use iui uuuce?me
drug drink. We prefer Postum and
health."
Look in pkgs. for the famous little
book, "The Road to Wellville." "There's
a Reason."

are genuine, true, and full of human interest.
