"WHAT WiTCH?"
A Husbands Question.

When n man, from drinking coffee,
gets to such a condition that he cannot
eat breakfast without throwing it up,
it seems time to quit. but there are
thousands OF people, who DO not under
stand that when an article of food or
drink produces suchSi conditions as
these. it should be absolutely left. off.
A little woman out. in Mont. Writes
that she and her husband knew enough
to quit coffee when it had raped th1m
hard. She says: My husband was
so badly affected that he ate no-break-
fast for three or four years. He would
often try to drink few sips of coffee
and invariably threw it up.
When Postum Food Coffee was
brought to my attention I tried it
without having any faith in it, but
when ! found what u delicious bevcr-
age it was when prepared according to
directions. and from trying it on my
self found there We're no bad effects |

telling him what it was II" objected
at first, saying that he would BE- sure
to throw it up. but when l insisted
upon his trying it, it agreed with him.
Postum without telling him that it was
any different from ordinary coffee. His
stomach quickly recovered and he be-
gan to cat breakfast. He asked me
one morning as he called for second
cup what witch had taught me to
make such delicious coffee and where
/ found some that would agree with
him?' Then l told him for the first
time that he had not been drinking
coffee but Postum, which had 50
strengthened his stomach that he could
now cat as much breakfast as any one.
My two sisters were badly troubled
with stomach disorder but after leav-
ing off coffee and taking Postum they
both recovered their appetites and took

Interview With
Sir Thomas Upton,

LONDON, Sept. 26.-Sir Thomas Lip
ten was interviewed tonight after he
had learned the reasons why his chal-
lengc to race for the Americas cup had
been declined by the New York Yacht
Club, and spoke as follows:
II still have plenty Of time to issue
another challenge. but all depends up
on what l am advised to do. Mr.. Fife
is coming especially to consult with Inc
on the situation.
II know the New York Yacht Club
feels its responsibility and ! am quite
willing to abide by its decision, as the
club certainly understands it's bust
ness better than anyone else. l cannot
help hoping that the existing difficulty
may be overcome and that race will
occur in 1908. | will do everything in
my power that is reasonable to meet
the wishes of our American friends.
am willing to consider most favOra bly,
the idea of challenging with a 90-foot
boat, if that will be received under the
conditions existing in the New York
Yacht Club, and if Mr.. Fife can design
boat which will give me reasonable
prospect of success, and although such
a boat might have to be constructed
as a freak boat. even then | would be
only too pleased to do it,"

VARYING VIEWS
Are Expressed by New England
Yaohtsmen on Action Taken.

Boston. Sept. 26.-While the general
feeling among New England yachts
men in regard to the Upton New York
Yacht Club controversy over the Am
crica's cup apparently leans toward
the attitude of the holding club, much
regret was expressed today that
trophy which has become so famous
could not be sailed for in the same
spirit which obtains in other Internal
ional sport notably in the recent So
called sender class yacht races held in
this country and Germany. Opinion
however, is decidedly at variance as
to what the trust deed under which the
cup is held really means, but because
of the amenities between yacht clubs
and the reluctance Of local members Of
the New York Yacht Club to criticize
the action of a meeting al which they
We're not present, none of those who
were seen today would permit themsel-
YES to be quoted publicly.
That the New York Yacht Club is
technically right in its constructions
of the deed of fit. but that Sir Thomas

New England yachtsmcn if he tried
to bring about race under less eX-
trcme boat than that typified by the
Reliance, seems 10 be the general sem
timent. One or two yachtsmen were

an English or Scotch yacht club with
in a few days, and that such yacht
would be built and successfully taken
across the Atlantic on her own bot
tom. The same yachtsmen, however,
hoped that the next cup race would be
sailed with boats less than 80 feet
waterline, in order that builders of
moderate means might have a chance
to defend the cup.
Another yachtsman believed that the
present American rating rule had been
sufficiently tried out to prove its
worth and hoped that a challenge
would be accepted for a 90-foot sloop
built under that rule. Still another
could not see how the New York
Yacht Club could refuse a challenge
under rule which was on it's own
books. while others felt that the atti-
tude of tho club was bad for the sport.
in hiatt it was quibbling over technical
tiles instead Of treating the matter on
a broad basis. ono man pointed out
that in nearly every instance where
challenge had been sent the mutual
agreement clause had been brought into
effect and numerous conditions of the
deed itself had been waived or modi-
fed

YAcHTsMEN DISAPPOINTED
But There Is Less Interest in Britain
Than in Previous Challenges.

London. Sept. 26.-The refusal of the
New York Yacht Club to accept Sir
Thomas Lpton's challenge occasions less
comment than might have been expected.
There is feeling of general disappoint-
ment among yachtsmen, but for some
reason the British public has shown less
interest in this challenge than in former
ones.
A dispatch from Southampton says that
the yachtsmen of the Solent hope that a
way may yet be found to remove the OBJ
stacles which threaten to discourage fu-
ture challenges.
A dispatch to The Associated Press
from Glasgow says that there have been
some bitter comments among the Clyde
yachtsmen on what they regard as being
lack of craftsmanship on the part of the
New York Yacht Club members, but APP
parently the statements made are based
on a misapprchcpsion of the terms of Sin
Thomas Lipton'S challenge and the rea-
sons for its rejection.

Colony Must
Not Interfere.

St John, N. f., Sept. 26-An i'm
perial rescript forbdding the service
Eby any colonial authority of any legal
process regarding fishery rights aboard
any American vessel and suspendlng
| all colonial statutes authorizing COLO
NAL officials to seize Americans vessels
| for alleged fishery OffenseS, was pro-
claimed here Wcsdesday. This. 1t is
| believed, will make it practically i'm
possible for Premier Bond to carry out
his recently announced decision to en-
force the colonial fishery laws.
The. rescript forbids the service by
any colonial authority Of any legal
process aboard an American vessel i'll
any suit questioning the rights of
Americans under the convention of 1878
or in any suit against persons employ
ed aboard such vessels as part of crews
engaged in exercising their rights UNI
| der the treaty, unless the senior British
naval officer on the station has previ-
ously consented to the issuance of such
| legal process This ordinance is issued,
| the rescript says, to prevent amy dis
| putc relating to the common fishery
| rights established by the convention OF
| 1913.
Premier Fond had intended to prose-
cute New Foundland fishermen who
might go to work aboard American YES
sells contrary to the Colonial regulations
out it is believed that the suspension
Of tie New Toundllnd laws authoriz-
ing Colonial officials to board, seize or
arrest American vessels for alleged
fishery offcnses will prevent him from
doing so.
The inhabitants Of Bay Of Islands. the
principal herring fishery section affect
ed by the fisheries dispute, held a mass
meeting Tuesday night and adopted
resolutions urging the colonial govern
ment to remove all restrictions on tho
fisheries during the present season, i'll
view of the fact that the whole qucS-
ton is about to be submitted to The
Hague tribunal for arbitration.
Similar meetings were held by the
fishermen at Bay st. George and Bonnie
Pay. In each case it was voted to ask
the government to remove all restric-
tons to the sale of herring, thus obvi-
atiag tie necessity of the fishermen
sh;pping on hoard Gloucester vessels
outside the thrce-mile limit in order to
dispose of their catch. The fishermen
adopted resolutions endorsing the gov
crnments contention that the colony
has sole jurisdiction over the inshOrc
fisheries.
Premier Bond telcgraphed the
chairmen of the meetings assuring
them that the government accedes to
their request and that lawful authority
has been granted to enable the fisher
men to sell their herring to the highest
binder during the present fishing sea-
SON. -a@
The premier's reply indicates that the
government, iii view Of the issuance of
the imperial rescript has decided to
prevent the excise of imperial author
ity by Withdrawing all colonial re-
strctions against New Foundland fish
Crmen hiring on board American YES
sells. In other words, Americans will be
able TO enter New Foundland water
and buy herring from the colonists
without interference, as they did prior
to 1895.

Washington. Sept. 26.-Grcat Britain
having entered a modus vivendi with
America continuing the rights 81 Amer
icar fishermen in New Foundland wa
ter pending a specific determination of
according to the view of the officials
here the British government in good
faith could do no less than intervene
by an order in council to prevent Sir
Robert Bond, the New FOundland
premier. from Infringing the rights of
the Americans. It is stated that when
Sir ROEer Bond was in London recent
~ he was fully acquainted with this
purpose Oh the part rf the British gov
eminent. His threat to enforce colonial
laws passed with the deliberate inten-
tion Of dcprivng American fishermen
of their treaty rights is regarded by
officials here rs 4 mere bluff and
not supported by the majority Of New
FOundl2ndCrS. According to one report
at the department of state, Sir James
Winter, who preceded Sir Robert Bond
as the premier there, in an interview
said:
THE feeling in the colony is either
one of indifference to and even ignOr-
anco Of tho whole question or among
q very small fraction of the popula-
ton, OF strong antagonism to the line
of policy which Sir Robert Bond has
adopted. The only fisheries in the col
ony which are directly affected by the
present question are those which are
much better served by being left alone,
that is. by not being intcrfcred with
by Sir Robert Bond-fshcrics which
arc accordingly preserved and conserv-
ed by the mOdus Vivendi.
This view Of the matter is accepted
as correct by the state department.
The American fishing captains offer
tempting wages to the New Foundland
fishermen to ship on their vessels,
which intorfcred very seriously with
the designs of the local boat owners,
hence the opposition which is supported
by Sir Robert Bond.
