The daily Gate City. [volume] (Keokuk, Iowa) 1855-1916, 1914-04-05

The Vaterland has many original
features. She is the first steamer
ever built with tunnels which do not
pass directly through the centres OF
the decks Each of her three great
tunnels divides in the form OF the
letter "Y" at point beneath the
lowest passenger deck, and join again
in a single tube which rises above her
uppermost deck The space occupied
by the ordinary tunnels passing
through the middle of the decks Is
tins left clear, and the public cabins
may thus occupy the deck without
obstruction.
Taking advantage of this new ar
rangement of the tunnels the grand
dining room of the Vaterland Will De
unique. 1t will accommodate SUI
passengers at one time, all seated
upon the same deck. The great size
and steadiness of the steamer make
It possible to furnish the dining room
with movable dining room chairs. In
nlace of the swivel seats firmly at
tached to the floors, common to ocean
steamers. In addition to the regular
dining room, the vaterland will have
an elaborate RitzCarlton restaurant,
a grill room, and palm garden. The
main dining room Of the Ritz is built
oval in form. exactly reproducing its
counterpart in New York City.
The great social hall OF the Water
land is even larger than the famous
ball room of the Imperator which has
attracted world wide attention. This
sumptuous public cabin will be the
largest ever constructed on shipboard

rich pannelling and carving. A deep
fireplace and several recessed seats
and cozy corners lend .hOmelike APP
pearance to the great room. Opening
directly from the smoking room are
two writing rooms for gentlemen.
The great size of the Vaterland has
made it possible to make her state
rooms unusually commodious. The
Vaterland is the first ship to be built
with three passageways running
lengthways, which serve to supply
every state room with abundant light
and fresh air, and give the ship an
effect of roominess throughout. In
every state room artistic bedsteads
replace the built in beds or berths,
common to most ships. Each room Is
besides supplied with a marble wash
stand and with both running hot and
cold water. Special attention has
been paid to the mirrors Of the state
rooms, and the arrangement OF lights
and the closet space.
The passengers on the Vaterland
have the choice Of great variety OF
private suites which assure the priv
acy of ones own home throughout
the crossing. These suites vary in
size from two to twelve rooms. They
are furnished in a variety of decora-
| tive styles and color schemes to sat
lisfy every taste. The most elaborate
| of these suites, known as the imperial
suites. include bedrooms, sitting
room. breakfast room, two baths,
servants rooms and a private deck.
A large proportion of the state rooms
have private bath rooms and the 9th
er baths are so distributed as to be

by pillars or supports OF any KIND,
and Illuminated by concealed lights.
The woodwork throughout Is richly
carved, the walls are panelled with
rare tapestries and set with statues.
A unique feature Of the social hall Is
a theatrical stage.
The elaborate swimming pool of the
Vaterland and her various electric,
therapeutic. and other baths lend her
the attraction of a great spa or bath
ing resort. The pool which reproduces
a Roman bath, extends through three
decks. 1t consists of three large
rooms, an entrance hall, with hand
painted walls and floor of orna-
mental mosaics, an antichamber roof
ed with glass, and the pool. The
roof of the pool is supported by ten
marble pillars, and arranged along the
sides are twenty-eight bath cabins.
In these rooms will be found electric
light baths, water cures, cartonic
acid baths, needle baths, massage
rooms, barber shop, hair dressing
parlor, etc The pool is constantly
refilled and kept at uniform temper
ature
The smoking room of the Vaterland
is one of the largest and most lux
urious cabins ever devoted to the
purpose. IT has been placed on an
upper deck forward, occupying the
space usually taken by the officers

ship. The smoking room is. there

lers has been installed both on the

An important innovation has been
made in the steerage accommodations
both on the Vaterland and 1mperator.
The steerage passengers will occupy
separate rooms, for two four or SIX
persons. instead Of the dormitorles
formerly used. They have besides
the use of private bath rooms ana d

FARMERS INTERESTED
IN HOG CHOLERA
Twenty Thousand Requests for BuIIe-
tin on the Subject Issued by
Or. r. p. Marstellar.

That the people of Texas in general
and especially the stock farmers and
hog raisers are becoming keenly in
terested in the control and eradica-
ton of hog cholera, is the statement
of DR.. r. p. Marstellar, hog cholera
expert at the Texas A. & NJ. College.
editor of a recent bulletin on that
subject and final authority on the use
of serum to prevent the spread of this
disease in herds.
Recently DR.. Marstellar issued a
bulletin giving a thorough review OF
the disease, its history, control and
eradication. This bulletin was widely
advertised through the press of the
State and within six weeks 10000 re-
quests for copies of the bulletin We're
received. The supply has become so
short that the authorities are consid.
ering the advisability of having an
other installment of the bulletin
printed.
The demand for hog cholera serum
which is manufactured at the college
under the supervision of the veteri-
nary science department is increasing
by leaps and bounds and every week
sees number of new consumers
added to the list of those who receive
this serum from the college. Hog
cholera is peculiar to no section of
the State, but ravages herds in all
parts of Texas. The serum Is the
only known preventive and there is
no means of combating the disease
except by the use OF the serum.
The serum is being manufactured
on a limited scale inasmuch as APP
preparations for the maintenance OF
this work were not made by the State.

Director B. YoungbIood Of the Expert

struction on the Subject.
To The Bryan Eagle;

To The Bryan Eagle:
The question has been asked how
long the log piers and dead men
suggested by me to be used in con-
nection with anchoring houses in the
overflow districts, would last.
In reply, will state that hard wood
logs of the dimensions suggested in
the plans should last as long as the
house. II is well known fact that
log submerged in water or buried in
the soil to a depth sufficient to ex-
clude the air, will remain intact for
many years. Decay would begin right
at the surface of the ground, where 1t
could easily be observed. When a
pier becomes weak, it may be removed
and new one put in, by loosening the
nuts.
should have suggested in connec-
ton with the plans that it would be
good precaution to paint the piers
and dead men" with a good timber
preservative before placing them in
position. This is done by the rail
road and telegraph companies in set
ting posts and poles, and is consid-
cred by them a good investment.
This, of course, will add few cents
to the cost of each pier, but who cares
so long as he is convinced that it is
an investment that pays well? Be-
fore painting, the bark should be re-
moved.
Plantation owners are urged to
anchor their houses, not only as a pro-
lection to the houses, but also to the
lives Of the people on the farms. The
purpose of elevating the houses is two
fold: First, to keep them above the
water, and second, to improve health
conditions.
If we are to Judge by the many re-
quests which are now coming to us
for these plans, there will soon be
thousands of houses in the Texas
river valleys anchored according to
the suggestions we have made Calls
have been received from several plant
ers in the lower Brazos valley, and
from the San Antonio, Trinity and
Colorado valleys, and tributaries of
the Navasota and other streams.
Blue prints of the suggested plans
may be had upon application to me
at College Station. We shall be glad
to send them to anyone contemplating
building houses where high water may
be encountered
Yours very truly.

London, March 25.-The Irish Ma
tionalists will insist upon the passage
of the home rule bill and its enact
ment into law. With this statement
from John Redmond today, further
disturbance in Ulster as well as bitter
parliamentary fights were forecasted.
Redmond's statement followed re-
ports that Premier Asquith might dis
solve parliament Immediately after
the passage of the bill, or even before
it is enacted.
The action of the government in
compromising with the army over the
refusal of officers to serve in Ulster
was believed to forecast an early dis
solution of parliament. To this Red

There certainly will be no dissolu-
