A WINNING START
A Perfectly Digested Breakfast Makes

SCOTT DID REACH THE POLE

The latest news in regard to Cap
tain SCOTS South Pole expedition
has been brought by Herbert G. Pont-
ing, the first member of the expedition
to return to London. Pointing is a
widely known traveller. He accom-
panied Captain SCOTS party as pho
tographer. He says he accompanied
Captain Scott for some miles into the
great barrier the night the explorer
started on his march toward the pole
when he left him. Mr.. Pointing took
cinematograph pictures of the party
as they disappeared in the distance in
the vast desert of ice. Captain Scott,
he says, was then about seven hun
dred miles from the pole.
Pointing says there is little doubt
that Scott reached the pole about jan
uary Is, because when Lieutenant
Evans left him January 4 he was only
las miles from the pole with ample
food supplies and all other neces-
sarles. He was then travelling about
fifteen miles a day and should have

MADE BIG PROFIT FOR STATE
Purely Business Argument for the Es-
Enlistment of Sanitoriums for the

According to figures contained in the
perintendent of the Rhode Island state

patients of that institution during the
year 1911 would amount to over $685.

large as that spent each year for main
tenance of the institution, including
four per cent interest and deprecia-

The actual earnings In 1911 of ITO
eex-patients were obtained by DR..
Barnes. These ranged from 81 to
S31 per week, the total earnings for
the year amounting to $1O2,752. On
this basis DR.. Barnes computes the

The Vote for President.

t4\tN OIk W uiIu.l
From the time in 1924 when the peo-
pie began to vote directly for presiden-
tidl electors down TO 1860 there was
never a presidential election in which
the total vote did not increase over the
next preceding election.
This total vete fell off for the first
time in 1864 because of the war and
southern secession. The end OF the
war and the gradual return of the
southern states into the count increas-
cd it by 1,700 600 in 1865 over 1864, by
Al O9d in 1872 over 1868. by nearly 3
900. 0oa in the stirring Tilden- Hayes
campaign of 1876 over 1872
The Garfield Hancock campaign of
1880 vas comparatively dun, but the
vote increased by nearly a million over
1876.
Tie bitterly contested election of 1884
between Cleveland and Blaine brought
out nearly a million more than voted
in 1880.
The hot tariff struggle Of lSSS brought
out .335, 600 more votes than were cast
in 1854. and continuation of that
struggle in 1892 brought out 67S,Qo0
more votes than in 1883.
The great sound money contest OF
1896 again awoke the electorate and
added nearly 100000 To the vote of
1892. But the Mckinley Bryan cam
paien of 1900 added only about 56,90o
to the vote OF 1896: the Roosevelt Park
or campaign reduced the vote of 1900
by $4,000; the Taft Bryan contest OF
1905 increased the vote by l,SIG0o0 over
1904: while the recent campaign redue-
ed il by some 100000 from 1905.
Why should spectacular thfee-eof-
nered contest over sharp living issues
in 1912 be as effective in reducing the
vote as the celorless campaign of 1902
Why should the contest of 1908 with
n proxy Republican candidate forced
upon the party be nearly as effective
in increasing the vote as a great strug-
ole between popular candidates over
the issue of sound money?
Why should the total vote now de-
cline at times against the whole pre-
vious experience of the country and
when the nations voting strength is
increasing as never before?
