gradually became himself once more

SCOTT DID REACH THE POLE

The latest news in regard to Cap
tain SCOTS South Pole expedition
has been brought by Herbert G. Point
ing, the first member of the expedition
to return to London. Pointing is
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 he was only
Las. miles from. the pole with ample
food supplies and all other neces-
saries. He was then travelling about
fifteen miles q day and should have

CLEVELAND, O.-Why eat?
~ Members of the Keep Well club,
who told their experiences at a food
less picnic the other day in Wade
park, declared man can go without
nourishment for thirty days and feel
like bear cat, and that it is simple
and delightful to exist for eight
months on a daily ration of eight
quarts of milk
The club members advise any one
with stomachache to quit eating for
awhile. 1t is fun after three days,
declared Dr. G. NJ. Swingle, who has
tried it.
How to be strong as bull moose
and still eat nothing was told at the
picnic by A. G. Freeman, who once
went without food for eighteen days

your hearty lunch. The menu might
be:
One peanut.
One orange.
One lettuce leaf.
"Once I went eight months without
nourlshment except eight quarts of
milk a day. said Brooks. Il gained
forty pounds. Since then I have lived
on milk for varying periods. Now l
am taking two quarts a day, in the
morning and evening. The only other
nourishment I receive is at II o'clock
in the morning. when I eat a light
lunch of nuts and occasionally an
orange. But on Saturday I omit the
lunch, because Sunday is a day of
rest"
Swingle said that it is easy to 60
without food for short periods. He
said that after the first three days the
appetite leaves. He advised, however,
that anything but short fast should
be taken under the direction of a
physician.
Il went without food for eleven days
and could carry market basket with
out being tempted to eat" said
Swingle.
8 Swingle said milk and lemons is a
diet that is good for tuberculars, un-
der the direction of a physician.

But. really, Il: hadn't. ought to
knock that goat. Mr.. Essex. said
Sheep, you know, haven't a lick OF
sense. If it. wasn't for that goat
don't know how we'd ever get them
into stock car. But theegoat knows
how. Frankly, don't believe. he does

cause he knows the sheep are going I'd
the packing house 70 be made into
broth, and it fills his wicked heart,
with gladness. =, =!
Anyway, this is what he does:
When the car is placed and the chute
run down to the zen he takes the lead
and marches up into the car, the;
sheep following. He marches all
where he stops. There he places him.
SELF In SUCH a way as to block the
exit, leaving only enough room for;
the sheep to enter. They crowd in
until the car is full, and then the goat
leaps nimbly out and we shut the
door.
If you could see the. wicked CLEAN
in his eye when he has thus trapped
his trusting followers and saved his
own skin you would appreciate how
nearly human is his duplicity. Next
to political boss who leads his dele
gates to a convention and trades them
for a Nostmastership I do not know
of greater example Of depravity.
Some time when I am vexed with
him suppose I shall shut the door
on. him and let him go to his deserts.

Miss Gilbert, who is one of the most

by many men, but none of them was
accepted because he did not meet the

laid down by Miss Gilbert herself.
How much better IT you'd be"
Miss Gilbert IS reported to have said,
