he said, "owing to the leather
e washers of the OanS, and as the
supplies were cut so fine, this made
h a considerable shortage."
Lieut. Evans declared that the
rotmors that Seaman Evans had
gone insane were cruel, scandalous
and baseless, adding that he be-
- hayed admirably. Capt. Scott,
- ommancled Evans said, left in-
- structions that no search parties
- should leave the base to seek him.
He added that it was beyond hu-
man possibility for the base party
to have saved Capt. Scott and his
comrades.
All Details 'Will Be Given.
A despatch from ".London .says: In
reply to a cablegram from the edi-
tor of The Daily Chronicle inform-
ing him of that paper's donation of
£2,000 to the Scott memorial fund
and asking for further newa of the
expedition, Commander Evans begs
to be excused from "going into the
details, which inay ha painful in
regard to the end of our beloved
conirad.es." "The whole history of
this expedition," adds Evans, "will
certainly be given to the public in
due ceurse, but please let us com-
plete our work in quietness. We
are pledged to do our utmost to
bring. this expedition to aeettecesa-
ful termination. Included, in that
•the publication of- the scientific
and other detads as a lasting tri-
bute to those who have not been
spared. Perhaps now you can -rea-
lize why the official telegram waa
no short. Surely its painful brev-
ity needs no defence."
What Official Report •Saki..
In connection with 'the foregoing
if is interesting •to note that Lieut.
Evans, in his official report, says in
part:
"Before Terra. Nova left for New
Zealand last March Surgeon At-
kinsone who had been left in
charge of the western party until
-Seett's return, despatched Gar•rard
and Demetri, dog d.riven;,with two
dog teame-10 assist the southern
party, whose return •to Hat Point
was expected about March 10, 1912.
Atkinson would have aeoompanied
this party, but was kept back in
medical charge of Lieut. Evans,
second in command, who, it will be
remembered, nearly died of scurvy.
'Thio reliefe party reached One
Ton Depot March 3, but were com-
pelled to return March 10, awing
primarily to dog food running
short, also -to persistent bad wea-
ther and pour condition of clogs, on
account of strain of halal seaso.n's
work. Dog tesme returned to Hut
P•oint March 16, the poor Sznimals
moistly frost-bitten and incapable
of further -work. .Garrard collapsed
through over -strained heart. His
companion was also sick, and it was
impossible to counnunicate with
Came Evans, ship ha-ving left March
9, and open sea lying between At-
kin•son. and Keohane. Only two
men sledged out to Cor•ner Camp
to render any help that might be
wanted by southern party. They
fought their way out to Corner
Camp against the unusually severe
weather, and, realizing they could
be of no assistance, were forced to
return to. Hut Point after denoting
ono week's provisions.
"On October 30," the official re-
port says, '"it large party under
Atkinson'well provisioned, set out.
It divided into two sections, and
one of them, apcier Wright, the
Toronto man, found Scott'e•tent, in

Great Continents Once Joined.
The following are extracts from
Lieut. Evans' Story of the work ac-
complished by the Scott exploring
expedition:
"The general geological work
done by the three parties, son h-
ero, western and northern, is lite-
ly to prove of great Isalite, especi-
ally as furnishing evidence relative
to a former connection betwe sn
Australasia, and South America
through the Antarctic Contin'ent."
After describing the collection of
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 ace
tees 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."
Impressive .Service in St. Paid's.
A despatch from London says:'
"The noise pf the mourning of a
mighty nation" sounded thrillingly
here on Friday when the British
people through their representative
heads joined with London' s crowd
in a solemn requiem to the brave
dead now lying in an icebound
tomb in the Antarctic desert. King
George, the members of the Cab-
inet and the heads of the navy and
army and other national services
shared in a stately ceremony in
which also the nations of the world
associated themselves with Great
Britain through their Ambassadors.
The vast cathedral of St. Paul,
which is the resting -place of Neleon
and many other great dead whose
n•ames are on Great Britain'hero
roll, was manifestly the .fitteet place
for the lofty eites to Captain Scott
and comradee.

AS TO FLAVOR.
Found Iler Favorite Again.
A bright young lady tells how
she came to be acutely sensitive
as to the taste of coffee:
."My health had been .vcry 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, a,nd of the nervousness that
drove sleep from my pillow and so
deranged my stomach that every-
thing. I ate gave me acute pain.
(Tee, is just as injurious, because it
eontains caffeine, the seine drug
found in coffee.)
"My condition finally got so seri-
ous that I was advised by nty doc-
tor th go to a hospital. There they
gave" me what I supposed was cof-
fee, and I thought it was the best
I ever drank, but I have since
learned it -was Posture.' I gained
rapidly and canoe home in four
weeks.
"Somehow the coffee we used at
home didn't taste right when I got
back. I tried various kinds, but
Dune tasted as good as that I drank
in the hospital, and all brought
back the dreadful headaches and
the 'sick -all-over' feeling,

Reverend Gentleman Bully
Corroborates.
Mies Kate L. DollIver, of Caledonia,
Queen's Co., 01.8., says; "1 must add
my testimony to the value of zam-Buk
Ulcers and sores broke out on my
arm, and although I tried to heal them
by using various preparations, nothing
seemed to do rue any good. The sores
spread until from fingers to elbow was
one mass of ulceration,
"I had five different doctors, and
faithfully carded out their instruo.
lions, I drank pint after Dint of blood
medicines, tried salve after salve, and
lotion after lotion; hut it was of ne
avan,
" father then took me thirty miles
to see a well-known doctor. He
photographed the arm.and hand. This
photograph was sent to a New York
hospital to the specialist; but they
sent word they eould do nothing
further for me, and I was in despair.
"One day a friend asked me if 1 had
tried Zam-Buk. I said I had not, but
I got a box right away. That that box
did me more good than all the inedl-
eine I had tried up to that time, f30 I
continued the treatment. Every box
healed the sores more and more until,
to make a long story short, Zatmouk
healed all the sores completely. Every-
body in this place Imows of my ease,
and that it is Zam-Buk alone which
cured me."
Minister corroborates. -The Rev. W.
B. M. Parker, of Caledonia, Mile Dorn-
Ver's minister, writes: "This is to
certify that the testimonial of Miss
Dolliver ls correct as Sanas my knowl-
edge goes, I have known her fey a
year and a half, and her cure effected
by Zarn-Gna is remarkable."
Wherever there is ulceration, blood -
!poison, sores, cold -cracks, abscesses,
cuts, burns bruises, or any skin in-
dUrY or disease, there Zam-nuk should
bo applied. It is also a sure euro for
piles. All druggists and stores sell at
60c. per box, or post free from Zam-
Buk Co. Toronto, for price. Refuse
cheap and harmful imitations and sub-
etitutes.
