TO SAVE CABINET
Premier Asquith Takes Addition.

COLONEL sEELY HAS QUIT.
= Day OF History-Making In the
House Of commons-The Gov.

On the Floor.

London.-After all the many solu-
tions OF the government crisis which
hao been proposed and discussed,
premier Asquith announced a decision
10 the House of Commons which none
Oh the prophets had expected or even
suggested. The prime minister him
SELF will assume the burden of the War
oInce, IN addition to his other and al
most crushing duties. He will resign
from the House at this critical stage,
when the second reading of the home
rule bill is about to be taken up, and
Will appeal for reelection to his con-
stituents in East Fife, Scotland, with.
in few days.
Field Marshal Sir John French, chief
OF the imperial general staff, and Gen.
Sir John Hart, adjutant general, de-
cl1ned to withdraw their designations,
In spite of the army order issued on
Friday, which Viscount Haldane
cleverly framed as platform on
which the generals might stand with
consistency and honor.
1t thus became impossible for Col.
J. E. B. Seely, who was co-signer with
them of the assurances to Brigadier
General Cough that the army would
not be used to suppress the Ulster op-
position to home rule, to retain the
secretaryship of war His resignation
was therefore accepted after he had
been for some days under fire from
the newspapers of his own party,
which insisted that he must go.
Viscount Morley, of Blackburn, lord
president of the council, who was a
partner with Colonel Seely in drafting
the offending paragraphs of the docu-
ment, stands in the same position, and
his withdrawal from Office is expected.

Approached by Viaduct Over Two
Miles of Breezy Sea.
Dwelling Place Of the Doees Has

With Modern Progress.

London.-Venice is the dream city
before seeing it and after leaving it J
think it must be hard to believe in its
existence. Travelling, while probably
the best brain stimulant and mind en-
larger known, is apt to spell disil
lusion most of the time. Foreign
places, after all, are amazingly like
home; foreigners seem to be just
plain human beings doing common
place things in queer ways and the
wonders" we have anticipated with
excitement from childhood dwindle
dolefully on being visited.
The only scenery have found
which exactly coincided with my pre-.
vious fancy is in the Highlands Of
Scotland, and the only city thus far
which has surpassed my fondest ex'
pectations is Venice.
In these days you usually enter q
town by that most depressing of back.
doors, a railroad yard, hemmed about
with dingy traffic and squalid build
ings. Venice is approached, not
through desolate wastes of improved
real estate" not through the CRIME
of manufacturing suburbs, but by a
yiaduct, across more than two miles
of breezy sea, on whose horizon
seems to lie some fair mirage in the
form of city-a jewel city set clean
cut in water and light. Suddenly the
sea is blotted from about you by a
well. You are in a railroad station.
Just like other railroad stations" ="
you say cynically to yourself, and
drift toward the exit to find a cab.
You step forth and, presto! the dream
begins-or at least it did for me. OF
course, had heard there were canals
for streets and gondolas for transpor-
tation in Venice, but without just real.
izing what this meant Here before
me was beautiful sweep of green
water which knew, by the handsome
stone fronted buildings that bordered
it opposite, must be the Grand canal.
Here at my feet was fleet of the
most graceful small boats ever de-
signed, long and black and narrow,
each with the scimitar like sword OF
medieval Venice decking its prov
each with sunburned, picturesquely
dressed oarsman at it's stern.

CLEVER WIFE
Knew How to Keep Peace In Family.

1t is quite significant, the number Of
heart trouble when they let up on cof-
fee and use Postum as the beverage at
meals.
There is nothing surprising about it.,
however, because the harmful alkaloid
-caffeine-in coffee is not present in
Postum, which is made of clean, hard
wheat.
1.-TWO years ago / was having so
much trouble with my heart" writes
lady in Washington, that at times
felt quite alarmed My husband took
me to a specialist to have my heart
examined.
"The doctor said he could find no
organic trouble but said my heart was
irritable from something / had been
accustomed to, and asked me to try
and remember what disagreed with
me.
81 remembered that coffee always
soured on my stomach and caused me
trouble from palpitation of the heart
So stopped coffee and began to use
Postum. ! have had no further
trouble since.
"A neighbor of ours, an old man,
was so irritable from drinking coffee
that his wife wanted him to drink
Postum. This made him very angry,
but his wife secured some Postum and
made it carefully according to direc-
tions.
"He drank the Postum and did not
know the difference, and is still using
1t to his lasting benefit. He tells his
wife that the coffee is better than 1t
used to be, so she smiles with him and
keeps peace in the family by serving
Postum instead of coffee"

Postum now comes in two forms:
Regular Postum = must be well
boiled. 15c and 25c packages.

the waterways in barges or gondolas.
The narrow streets which irterlace

pedestrians. and are spotlessly clean,
somewhat like strips of courtyard Of
American fiat buildings, save for the
bright display of merchandise and the
endless passing of the crowds. To
walk about in these streets is a pleas
