BIG SUPPLY FOOD
Chicago,
Jan. 13.-When Roald Amundsen, the explorer, left Chicago today for Washington, it was apparent that life will not be one round of whale blubber and concentrated soup tablets on the expedition upon which he is preparing to start for the North Pole.
Preparatory for the six years' absence he purchased 600 pounds of candy and quantities of other delicacies, including ripe olives, sweet pickles, pickled pigs feet, dried fruit, nuts and apple butter. A ton of meat has been purchased for each of the ten men who will go on the expedition.
Captain Amundsen said that he had purchased the coffee, cigarettes, baking powder, dried eggs, dried milk, cheese and canned vegetables.
