Standing from left to right they are Petty Officer Evans, Captain Scott and Dr. Wilson. Below are Lieutenant Bowers and Captain Oates. The photograph was taken at the pole by Lieutenant Bowers, who first focused the camera, then took his place before the group, and exposed the negative by pulling a string, which may be seen in his right hand, and is indicated by the arrow. The lower photograph shows the tent in which were found the bodies of Cap tain Scott, Dr. Wilson and Lieutenant Bowers. To the right, as shown in the pho tograph, was found the luggage of the party resting upon a sledge. The body of of Captain Scott was found in a half-sit ting position against a tent pole. His head was supported by his diary, in which he had detailed the tragic last mo ments of the expedition, and it was in this tent that Captain Scott, starving and half frozen, wrote his last words. Bits of wind-blown snow cover it. WED'S FITE POISON TABLET State Board of Health Prepares Bulletin Telling of Dangers of Having Bichloride in Home. Ty-m Camera Corroborates Words of Leader, "Human Beings Never Came Through Such Months as We Have”—Films Sent. Photographs depicting more graph ically than words the pathetic an nihilation of Captain Robert Falcon Scott and his party of four daring English explorers in their amazing dash to the South Pole were received yesterday by Hearst's Sunday Ameri can. These are the first of the Scott pictures to arrive in the United States. Most of them were made by Cap tain Scott and his band of heroes be fore they perished miserably during the early months of 1912, after having attained the po 1 e on January 18, that year. The remainder were made by the rescuing party, which also was near destruction in the barren and tempestuous stretches of the Antarc tic. The proceeds from the sale of the pictures will go to the family of Captain Scott. 8oott's Thrilling Message. With death creeping over him In the tent where his frozen body was found, Captain Scott scrawled this thrilling message: “For my own sake I do not regret this Journey, which has shown us that Englishmen can endure hardship, help one another and meet death with a, great fortitude as ever in the past. \\ - took risks. We knew we took them. Things have come out against us, and, therefore, we have no cause for complaint. ■ Had I lived I should have had a tale to tell of the hardihood, endur ance and courage of my companions which would have stirred the hearts of ! all Englishmen. These rough notes i on our dead bodies must tell the tale, j Dead in the tent with Captain Scott j were Lieutenant H. R. Bowers and Dr, E. A. Wilson. They had expired a few days after Captain E. G. Oates and six weeks after Petty Officer Ed gar Evans. Diary Gives Incidents. Captain Scott’s diary, found back; of his head, as he sat, dead, against the tent pole, gives Incidents leading i up to his death. It said: "The weather throughout .the out- | ward Journey stopped us; the soft; snow in the lower reaches of the j Beardmore Glacier again reduced the : pace. We fought these untoward ; events and conquered, but it ate into our provision reserve. "The advance party would have re turned to the glacier in fine form and with surplus food but for the aston ishing failure of the man whom we had least expected to fail. Seaman Evans was thought to be the strong est roan of the party and Beardmore Glacier is not difficult in fine weather. "We got into frightfully rough ice and Evans received a concussion of the brain. He died a natural death, but left us with a shaken party, with the season unduly advanced. Surprise at Barrier. "But all the facts above enum erated were as nothing to the sur prise which awaited us on the bar rier. On the summit, in latitude 85 to 86 degrees, we had minus 20 to minus 80. On the barrier, in latitude 82 10,000 feet lower—we had minus 80 during the day and minus 47 at night with continuousi.head wind dur ing the day marches. "I do not think human beings ever came through such months as we have come through, and we should have come through in spite of the weather but for the sickening of our mates and the shortage of fuel in our depots, for which I can not account, and finally, but for the storm which has fallen on us within eleven miles cf the depot at which we hoped to secure final supplies."

Judge Offers Hope To Locker Members Moses Wright, Though Closing One Club, Tells How Liquor Can Be Served. ROME, GA., May 81.—Although Judge Moses Wright granted an or der restraining the Hill City Club from operating, he gave hope to mem bers of locker clubs by a clause in his decision. It reads: “It may be that a bona fide club can serve liquors as an incident to the club’s main purpose and organization. There should be no sale, however, to any member.’’ Seaborn Wright, as attorney for C. L. Wilkerson, closed up the Hill City Club several days ago on the grounds that it was a blind tiger. In his de cision, Judge Wright declared the club was never operated for any other purpose than the sale of liquor.

BEER DRINKING BY CHILDREN CALLED AMERICAN MENACE CHICAGO, May 31.—“Beer drinking among children in America is a menace," declared Mies Edith M.

Miss Wills cited statistics to show that illneas and weak minds among children are caused t>y their parents drinking. 1 | The death of B. Sanders Walker, j the prominent young Macon capital ist who came to his end through ac cidental poisoning, is the inspiration of a health bulletin Boon to be issued by the Georgia State Board of Health, warning the public against the dan ger which lurks in even the innocent use of bichloride of mercury In the | home. Walker swallowed a bichloride tab let by miHtake, thinking that he had taken a grain of aspirin. The strug gle of the young man against death ; aroused the sympathy of the entire nation. This story will be used as the text of the warning by the State ! Board. Beginning with an explanation of the deadly nature of bichloride of mercury, the bulletin will discuss means of keeping it without danger | to those in the home where it is used. More pointed probably will be a dis cussion of likely measures to restrict the sales of the drug, or to provide for Its sale only upon prescription and I for an avowed useful purpose. Home Treatment Suggested. Home treatment of mercury poison ing will be considered fully. Dls- i cussing the subject yesterday, Dr. E. j R. Park, of the Board of Health, of fered the following suggestion as to an antidote; "One of the best anti- i dotes of mercury is the white of eggs —the white of one egg to every two grains of the chemical taken Into the | stomach." It Is explained that if too much al bumen is Introduced the chemical Is likely to dissolve it instead of coagu lating It. However, while the phy sician Is on his way the introduction of eggs and milk Into the stomach Is the first step, and after that the emetic or the stomach pump. The bulletin will discuss the sub ject fully. It will show that bichlo ride of mercury, tvhich is commonly known as corrosive sublimate, Is one of the most powerful poisons known. It Is used as a disinfectant and phy sicians make free use of it in steriliz ing their hands and their surgical In struments. The common form In which it is sold is in 7 %-grain tablets. The standard formula for antiseptic solutions Is one part of bichloride of mercury to 1,000 of water. The poison is colorless, usually, but manufacturers, in order to prevent It from being mistaken for water, add to the tablet some mineral or vegetable coloring matter, usually green or blue. This gives a tinge to the solution and serves to draw attention to the tablets themselves and to Impress upon the customer that here is something un usual in their composition. Tablet Peculiarly Deadedly. "The bichloride of mercury tablet. ’ said an Atlanta druggist yesterday, “is peculiarly deadly, because it is compounded with some other chemi cal usually to increase its solubility. The bichloride is not readily dissolved in water. The surgeon is usually In i hurry and can not wait for the slow process of making a solution. For that reason the pharmaceutical chemists incorporate a little ammonia chloride. To hold the tablet together, a little inert binding material is used. This makes a tablet containing the lib grains of bicholride weigh about 10 grains. It is a sizable enough lozenge, and one which a man who had his mind on what he was doing would look at twice before swallowing. Coffee Drinking Cut By Cost of Living Department of Commerce Report Shows Americans Use Less as Import Duty Increases. WASHINGTON, May 31.—Ameri cans have started out to cut the high cost of living by drinking less cof fee.
