Hostilities were resumed with
fierceness in the Mexican capital
on Sunday, after a truce, which
lasted only a few hours. The ar-
mistice, signed at 2 o'clock Sunday
morning by the representatives of
both sides, agreeing to suspend op-
erations for 24 hours, was brpken
before noon.. Soon the sound of
heavy cannonading and the whirr
of machine guns announced the re-
turn of the Federal troops to their
posts in front of the arsenal.
The fighting in the streets of the
Mexican capital at times was as
savage as on any other day of the
week's battle. The American Em-
bassy again came directly within
the line of fire, and the American
Ambassador, Henry Lane Wilson,
had a narrow escape from a rifle
bullet which whistled 'close to his

Ai despatch from Christchurch,

the vessel which took Captain Rob-
ert 'F: Scott to the Antarctic on his
way to the South Pole, and which
returned there to fetch him back,
but, instead brought the news of his
and his companions' heroic death,
arrived in this port on Wednesday
morning. Commander Evans said
that. reckoning by the progress of
the: supporting parties, Captain
Scott should have returned to Hut
Point by March 17. Regarding the
shortage of fuel, he said that Scott
he'd enough fuel to last a month
beyond the date of his expected re-
turn.
The Terra Nova brought every
written record of the southern
party, including the private diar-
ies, which will be handed to the re-
latives of the dead explorers. Cap-
tain Scott kept a daily record un-
til March 24, and spent the last day
in writing his message to the pub-
lic. Commander Evans will com-
plete Captain Scott's story for pub-
lication,

Found Her Favorite Again.
A bright young lady tells how
she came to be acutely sensitive
as to the taste of coffee:
"My health, had been very poor
for several, years," she says, I
loved coffee and drank it for break-
fast, but only learned by accident,
as it were, that it was the cause
of the constant, dreadful head-
aches from which I suffered every
day, and of the nervousnessow andhat
drove sleep from my p
so
deranged my stomach that every-
thing I ate gave me acute pain.
(Tea is just as injurious, because it
oont,ains caffeine, the same dr.ig
found in coffee.)
"My condition finally got so seri-
ous that I was advised by my doc-
tor to go to a hospital. There
they
h y
gave me what I supposedwas
fee, and I thought it was the best
I ever drank, but I have since
learned it was Posture, I gained
rapidly and came home in four
weeks."
"Somehow the coffee we used at
ot
home didn't
when Iatried taste right
kinds but
pone tasted as good as that I drank
in the hospital, and all brought
back the dreadful headaches and
the `sick -all-over' feeling.
"One day I got a package of
Posture and the first taste of it I
took, I said, 'that's the good coffee
we had in the hospital!' I have
drank it ever since, and eat Grape -
Nuts for my breakfast. I have no
more headaches, and feel better
than I. have for years." Name

"The general geological work
done by the three parties, sou h -
ern, western and northern, is lice-
ly to prove of great value, especi-
ally as furnishing evidence relative
to a former connection betwe 'n
Australasia and South America
through the Antarctic Continent."
After describing the collection o
fossil plants, coal, corals of primi-
tive form, the writer continues:
"The notes of the geologists are
necessarily not at present avail-
able. Until experts have had ac-
cess to this material it is unwise
to make definite inferences.
"In general terms it may be said
that there is proof of temperate
conditions of climate having ob-
tained in the Antarctic at two peri-
ods of time in past ages."

due course, but please let us Com-
plete our work in quietness. We

bring this expedition to a success-

Scott's return, despatehed Garrard

Port Colborne Handled More Than
12 Million Bushels in 1912.
A despatch from Welland says
The Government elevator at Port
Colborne has had a wonderfully
successful year in 1912. With a ca-
pacity of 750,000 bushels, it handled
last year 12,100,000 bushels, which
is the largest quantity handled by
any elevator on the lakes, except
the Grand Trunk elevator at, Tif-
fin, which handled 13,680,000 ush-
els, but its capacity is two million
bushels. Port Colborne handled
more grain than Kingston. Port
Colborne elevator is now being en-
larged to the two -million size, so
that no doubt it will handle more
grain the coming season than any
other elevator on the lakes.
