The British antarctic expedition for 1911
has issued a statement to the effect tina
arrangements have been made for tn,
purchase of the steamer Terra Nova fol
the expedition, which is to start in Au
gust, 1910. The Terra Nova is the larg
est and strongest Of the old Scottish
whalers. Built at Dundee In 1884, she /!
considered the best ship ever launched
for the Greenland whale trade.
In 1903 she was purchased by the ad
miralty as a relief ship for the discover!
expedition. The year 1905 saw her in tn,
service of the North Polar expedition OF
a visit to Franz Josef Land After be
ing inspected in Newfoundland on behalf
Of the expedition she will sail for Eng
land, and. 1t is hoped, will reach TIL
Thames about the end Of October or earl!
In November. The Terra Nova is bought
but not yet paid for. Not only has thu
ship been obtained on most REASONABLE
terms. but in addition to this the Liver
pool and London directors Of c.. T. Bow

have promised donation of $500. Thu

PLAN AVIATION CONTEST.
Proposed Feature of the italian
Jubilee at Rome in 1911.

VENICE October S. 1000.
It is proposed to include an international
aviation competition In the program OF
the Italian jubilee. which will be cele-
brated at Rome in 1911. Prince Borghese,
the winner of the Peking-to-Paris motor
race two years ago. and himself distin-
guished aeronaut, has been invited to &C.
cept the presidency OF the Roman COM
mittee No better chairman could be
found. for the prince is thorough sports
man, a man we'll known outside Italy and
able to talk several languages.
1t is hoped that Brescia. the scene of the
recent aviation meeting. will consent to
forego the privilege of holding the COM
petition there two years hence. Rome is
much better adapted for the purpose,
while at Brescia the means of oommuni-
cation from the town to the ground
were extremely defective. Nor would
prices for accommodation be SO enormous
iy increased In the much larger capital
as they were in the provincial town. Pa
triotism as we'll as public convenience
may be cited as an argument in favor Of
Rome.

BERLIN, October s, 1909.
The reason why Germany does not pro.
pose to enter into any agreement with
Great Britain for the limitation OF naval
ornaments is given in number of state
ments published by the Deutsche Revue.
Lord Avebury states the British case az
follows:
I'VE claim to be a Christian country,
but II the so-called Christian nations were
really nations of Christians there would
be no wars. The present condition of
affairs in Europe is a disgrace to us,
not only because 1t Is Incompatible with
common sense. but also because it is
contrary to every form of religion. There
may be excuses for barbarian peoples
who settle their quarrels by force. and
who are proud to be warlike. but when
civilized nations follow the same course
it is both immoral and unreasonable.
Burdens Both Nations.
1.-The realization of the naval program
burdens both the German and the Eng
lish nations. necessitates enormous ex-
penditure. and the relative strength of
our forces remains as before. We have
faith in the peaceful assurances and lne
expressions of friendly feelings which we
have received from the German emperor
and his government. and precisely be-
cause We believe in those assurances these
gigantic ornaments appear to us to be
all the more incomprehensible.
we do not propose disarmament. be-
cause that would be utopian, but we
should like to suggest a limitation OF
expenditure for the army, and sIIiI more
for the navy. / maintain that the re-
sponsibility for the present unhappy state
of affairs does not rest with England.
1--WE have done what We could. We
made proposals to the German govern
ment. hitherto without success. We APP
pealed TO the German government, to the
German ministers of religion and to the
German nat on that they shall accept the
friendly proposals which England made,
and that they shall use their influence
in such a way that both governments
shall confer to bring about the termina'

Bile rivalry I'm ornaments.

vorce he ordered the husband and
family. Mrs. Aarup and her children
occupied two of the upstairs rooms,
the drawing room and dining-room, on
the ground floor, and the entire base
ment, where there are two large Eitch.
ems and laundry.
Housekeeping Arrangements.
The husbands meals were super
vised by his wife and served to him
in his own office. If he wanted any
particular dish prepared for his din
ner a note to his wife produced the
desire i change in the bill of fare. He
sent her money to meet the household
expenses and he made it convenient
to be out when his rooms were being
cleaned and the bed made.
Just so long as Mr.. and Mrs. Aarup
remained husband and wife this ar
rangement seemed to furnish a salts
factory way in which they could con-
tinue to occupy one house between
them. But the courts announcement
that a decree of absolute divorce
would be granted rendered such an ar
rangement no longer possible. Both
husband and wife recognize this;
hence the desire of each that the 9TH
er vacate.
Matters stood thus when Judge
Honore was called upon to make de-
cision for them. After intimating
that he would grant an absolute di-

ton of the partitions which, when
completed, will enable Mr.. and Mrs.
Aarup each to live in his or her own
side of the house without any fear of
ever meeting the other face to face.
At present they have no desire to meet
each other, and Mr.. Aarup has formed
the habit of making noise whenever
he is about to walk through the front
hall toward the front door or to the
staircase. If Mrs. Aarup is in the hall
or on the staircase when she hears
her husbands signal announcing his
approach she withdraws until all dam
ger of having to face him has passed.
81 should think" said the court,
that a stairway may be built from
that one bedroom. This will obviate
the defendants having to go through
that part of the house occupied by the
rest of the family. An arrangement
may be made whereby they may have
separate entrances. There might be a
separate stairway"
There was, however, another fea-
ture of this complex problem which
the court was called upon to dispose
of in some way. Neither Mr.. Aarup
nor his wife has any desire to remarry.
He is limited in his own home to two
rooms, one of which is his business Of
fee, and in the other he sleeps. OBJ
viously he cannot be expected to do
his own housekeeping under such cir
cumstances.
Meals from Dumbwaiter.
Realizing all of that. and also the
fact that the divorced husband and
wife are joint owners of the house in
which they are to continue to reside,
and the one additional fact that both
are equa ly entitled to share in the
use of the kitchen stove and the laun-
dry, Judge Honore has arranged for
the construction of dumbwaiter lead
ing from the kitchen to Mr.. Aarup's
office. The dumbwaiter is to serve for
the convenience of Mr. Aarup's meals,
which his wife is to cook for him. In
return for this service the husband is
to contribute to the support of his
wife and children. There is sepa-
rate entrance to the house from Mr..
Aarup's office, and this he is directed
to make. use of. giving his wife and
children the exclusiye~right to use the
front entrance.
The suit of Aarup VS.. Aarup has
been in the courts since 1907. A set

DIDN'T REALIZE
How Injurious Coffee Really Was.

Many persons go On drinking coffee
year after year without realizing that
it is the cause of many obscure but
persistent ailments.
The drug cafeine-in coffee and
tea, is very like uric acid and is often
the cause of rheumatic attacks which,
when coffee is used habitualiy, become
chronic.
A Washington lady said, recently:
Il am sixty-five and have had gasad
deal of experience with coffee. con-
slider it very injurious and the cause
of many diseases. am sure it causes
decay Of teeth in children.
when I drank coffee I had sick
spells and still did not realize that
coffee could be so harmful, till about
a year ago. I had rheumatism in my
arms and fingers, got SO nervous l
could not sleep, and was all run down.
AT last, after finding that medicines
did me no good, l decided to quit cos-
fee entirely and try Postum. After

THIS THE AGE OF THE TUB.
Facts Seem to Show the Contention Is
Well Supported.

This has been called the age of cleo
tricity, although it might seem that
the title showed a heartless disregard
for predigested breakfast foods, cheap
magazines and new religions. But it
remains for some humble investigator
in the realm of ethnology to present
an argument to show that it is really
the age of the bath tub. Here, it may
be contended, is one of the great and
serious facts of the day. The old New
England parlor with horsehair sofa
and chairs may have gone out stimuli
taneously with the saying of grace
before meals, but meantime the tub
has certainly come in. Not that there
were no tubs before, but it is as GER
tain that there are now at least two
tubs where there used to be only one
tub as it is that anybody ever made
those proverbial two blades of grass
flourish in the place of one that -four

and replacing it on the average with
two or three of those glistening
modern creations which look so dis
tressingly like white stone sarcophagi
and which prove actually to be so
treacherously slippery to the unwary.
If cleanliness bears that intimate re-
lation to godliness which we used to
be severely informed that it did, when
acutely suffering under inspection to
see if We had washed behind the
ears" then the multiplication of tubs
ought to go some distance at least
toward balancing the diminution in the
saying of grace and toward saving an
unrepentant generation. The matter
calls for thought-Springfield Repub-

But One of the Best FOR Those That
Are "Run Dawn"

The person who is run down or lam
guild or who is annoyed by cold that
clings despite all remedies, should try
an old-time cure much priced by our
grandparents-bones tea.
This tea is easily made and its tonic
effect is remarkable on many persons.

thought her marked for tuberculosis
was cured of long-standing cold in
a few weeks by no other medicine
than a half-glass of boneset three
times day.

Mr.. and Mrs. Aarup, like many other
mismated couples, were anxious to be
freed from the matrimonial bonds
which held them one to the other.
Mrs. Aarup wanted the three children
Anna, William and Edward-and the
home they have lived in for many
years at No. 1903 Elizabeth street, Chi
cago. The house, together with the
land on which it stands, is the joint
property of Mr.. and Mrs. Aarup.
Mr.. Aarup, on the other hand, is
willing to waive whatever rights he
may have to the possession of their
three children. They can go with their
mother provided that the divorce is
granted.
All that he asked for-and this is
where the problem arose which Judge
Honore has ingeniously solved-was
the house at No. 1909 Elizabeth street
The husband had several good reasons
for wanting to retain possession of
the house. In> the first place, it be-
longs to him just as much as it does
to his wife. In the secondhand most
mportant--place, it is his place Of

business. He has his office there, and
his business is such that if he were
compelled to move to another neigh
borhood it would mean considerable
loss of business and heavy financial
loss as well.
Recalls Judgment Of Solomon.
The famous case of Biblical days in
which King Solomon rendered his de-
cision awarding the baby to the right
full claimant, it's own mother, pre-
1ted no more puzzling problem than
that confronting Judge Honore. If he
were to grant Mrs Aarup an absolute
divorce and award her the custody of
her three children and the right to
retain possession of their home, it
was possible that a great injustice
would be done to the husband. On
the other hand, If Mr.. Aarup were
given the right to occupy the house,
it would simply mean that Mrs.
Aarup and her children would have to
be turned out of home which right
fully belonged to them. Neither hus-
band nor wife was willing to concede
the house to the other. 1t was plainly
up to Judge Honore to decide.
Before presenting his solution of the
problem the judge gathered some de-
tails of the home life of the Aarups
from the time that the paths of hus-
band and wife began to diverge. He
learned that when they reached the
parting of the ways and Mr.. Aarup
and his wife began to avoid each 9TH
er Mrs. Aarup gathered her three chill
dren around her and drew an imagin-
airy dead line across the house. By
tacit agreement husband and wife re-
spected the dead line as far as posi-
BILE in a one-family house.
Mr.. Aarup's Office is on the first
floor, rear, and the room above is his

wife who insisted on living in one
house to continue to do so. But the
imaginary dead line drawn by Mrs.
Aarup is to be replaced by solid par
titions and Mrs Aarup and her three
children are to dwell on one side of
the partition and Mr.. Aarup on the
other.
Divided Up the House.
Judge Honore said it seemed to him,
since there was no other way out of
the difficulty, that some arrangement
could be made whereby the husband
might continue to occupy his Office
and the bedroom above it, thereby re-
stricting himself to the only two
rooms in the house which he really
needs for his own use. AS for Mrs.
Aarup and the children, they could oc-
cupy the other two bedrooms, as for
merly, the kitchen, drawing-room and
dining-room, and rent the other apart
ments in the front of the house.
There was only one obstacle to the
successful carrying out of this sug-
gestion, and the attorneys interested
in the case called it to the attention
of the court. With his two rooms par
titioned off from the other part of
the house, Mr.. Aarup would probably
suffer some Inconvenience climbing up
and down ladder and in and out of
his bedroom window every time he
wanted to go upstairs. There would
be no other way for him to reach his
bedroom after it was partitioned off
from the remainder of the house.
Has Private Staircase.
Judge Honore has disposed of this
little problem by suggesting the con-
struction of private staircase lead
ing from Mr.. Aarup's Office to the
bedroom overhead. The judge has
even constituted himself architect for
the reconstruction of the house that is
to be divided against itself, and he
has drawn up plans for the construc-
