Belleville, 111.--"1 am a coal min- er, . 1 doctored for months for a chrome case of bronchitis with a ter- rible cough, sore chest, throat and Jungs, so I could not work.

Gray. : It is the healing, tissue building properties of fresh cods livers aided bw the strengthening blood building elements of tomie iron contained in Vinol which makes it so successful in overcoming chronic cough, colds and bronchitis.

Sitting Bull was OUR ARCTIC EXPLORER PEN PORTRAIT OF VILHJALMUR STEFANSSON. (He Had a Narrow Escape From a Business Career, But Became an Adventurer and His Exploits Culminated In the Discovery of the Blonde Eskimos. 3 HROUGH the medium of the American-Scandinavian Re- view the reader is presented with an interesting pen por- trait of Vithjalmur Stefansson, the famous Arctic explorer, who is acknowledged to. be the foremost scientist-explorer the world. The writer, John Holmes, prefaces his sketch of the explorer's life and pers sonality as revealed to him in a re cent interview by a few introductory remarks, in which he refers to the affinity between the ancient Norse Vikings and the modern explorer-- both possessing in an unusual de- gree a fundamental desire for travel and adventure. Although by parent- age 'an Icelander, Stefansson is by birth a Canadian. The famous ex- plorer Mr..Holmes found to be 'a modest, soft-spoken person with the mild and unaffected manner oftén characteristic of men who have ac- complished big things." "There is a touch of the i- clan in his speech and gestures, and the only scars he bears of his battles with the North are patterns of fur- rows around the eyes, such as you might find adding good humor to the countenance of any Western rancher who has lived much in the open where the winds are never still, He is of good, medium height with a well-knit frame and the fair com- plexion and light-colored hair char- acteristic of the Icelanders, perhaps the fairest of the Scandinavian peoples. > "He 'gives no such impression of dynamic force or physical vigor as his great fellow explorers, Amund- sen, Shackleton or Peary, when the North Pole discoverer was in his prime. Yet I believe that Stefansson has commanded as large expeditions a8 any of these men, and he has un- doubtedly tramped greater distances around the top of the earth than any other man. I wondered at first wherein lay his strength, and al- most before I knew it I had my answer. "In the course of our talk I thoughtlessly questioned the literal- ness of something he had said about his poldr experiences. Well, I struck flint at once. He thought, of course, that'I doubted his word, and I am glad he 3s 1 sa t a slisipse. of Ra e ! 16] was ollod. of tie She volver "Stefansson belongs by right to the select log cabin class of famous men, now becoming almost as rare as buffalo fur coats. He was born in 1879 in an immigrant's cabin on the shore of Lake Winnipeg, north of the Canadian city of that name. His parents were among the first Ice- landers to venture from their,native island to try their fortunes in the | New World. They moved ina prairie Schooner ucross the line' into what was then the Territory of Dahoka, when the future explorer was eigh- teen months old, 'and settled in & farming colony of Icelandic immi- grants near the hamlet of Mountain, Pembina County. Here Stefansson 8T€W up on his father's farm twenty miles from a railroad. The country was wild enough to harbor a few In- dian bands, and every now and then reports of a still 'alive, and to the Icelanders he was a sort of American troll," which Rover materialized, however, in their midst, most poverty stricken Icalander, the saga classics, a few epic ballads, ri- mur--and, of course, the Icelandic - ONTARIO, FRIDAY, JUNE 20, 1919 be Baily British Whig Find a Frenchman, Two years ago today, June 20, 1917, the first contingent of American troops, under Major (ieneral Sibert, arrived in France.

'He then proposed to sail around Alaska to study the Pacific side of the Polar regions, Stefansson preferred a short cut across the Continent to the Mackenzie delta, and induced Harvard and Toronto universities to finance this trip. He traveled by Hudson Bay steamers down the Mac- kenzie, tramped part of the way, and arrived on the shores of the Aretie Ocean in a light overcoawand a blue serge suit. 'And I knew just exactly what I was doing,' said Stefansson, 'l was going to live with the Eski- mos, learn their language and study them; and I did. I could never have own quarters, dressing as a white man and living like a white man. 1 got my furs, caught fish and killed game, cooked it nyself in the Eskimo Lhuts, ate delicious meals, whenever I was hungry, and stayed for eighteen months," 2 "His second Aretic exjedition kept him in the Far North for fifty-three months, 'from. 1908 to 1912. This expedition was under the auspices of the Government of Canada. It was on this trip that Stefansson found origin, nant of the lost Norse. colony of Greenland, In the course of this expedition Stefansson added many new features to the map of Northern Canada, exploring one river, the Hor- ton, more than five hundred miles in length. He commanded the Canadian expedition of 1913-18, from which he has just returned, one of the most elaborately and expensively equipped #r expeditions 'ever undertaken. ¢ explored and mapped about one- fourth of the 1,000,000 square miles of the hitherto unknown polar ro gion of the Western Hemisphere, found new islands, corrected the out- lies ot others on the map and estab- the non-existence of one is- ud, the discovery of which had been , iunced some years ago. 1 ; "dhere remains but one thing more 4o tell of Stefansson, and con- sidering the fact that I have already stated that he is an Icelander, it seems nlmost superfluous to niention that he started out to be a poet.
