HOLLAND SENDS AN ULTIMATUM
ttemaatf Revocation of Deeree Which
tribes at the notch
Trade.
TUB HAGUE. Sept. 7.-Holland s notes
t i Venettiela contain one point which ap-pea-a
practically as an ultimatum. Hol
land demands the revocation before No
vember 1 of the decree Issued by President
Castro en May 14. which resulted In the
f uppresrlon of Curacao's trade. This decree
made ohllgatrry the transshipment of all
(roods from and to Maraealbo and other
points In western Venesuela at Porto Ca
bello Instead of Wlllemstad. as had pre
viously been the custom. This demand,
however. Is framed In courteous and mild
)an(ru.ia". It Is In the temperate attitude
which It has adopted In connection with its
correspondence with Venesuela.' that the
Holland government bases whatever hopes
It has of a solution of the troubles, and
since this government flies a definite
period In which the decree must be revoked
It appears unlikely that a blockade will
begin before November.
The minister of foreign affairs, Janker
Van Swlnderen, In the correspondence, ad
mits that some of Venezuela's grievances
are wall founded, and conceded thst It was
Impossible for M. DeReus to remain Hol
land's representative In Caracas after the
contents of his letter to the Houlen Trouew,
an Amsterdam society paper, had been
sublimed, although It was not Intended
for publication. The foreign minister, how
ever, takes exception to the dismissal of
M. DeReus, stating that the Dutch gov
ernment would undoubtedly have recalled
him If It had been requested to do so. He
expresses regret at the antl-Venezuelan
demonstrations In Caracas.
The Foreign office continues to deny that
Holland has . asked other powers to co
operate with It against Venezuela, although
It admits that conferences have been held
with several of the governments which
have had grievances against Venezuela.
Parliament will meet on September 18,
and the Venezuelan question probably wilt
be one of the first questions brought up,
when the government will be asked to de
fine Its position.

EFFECTS OF HIGH SPEED
Physical Tests of Chanffenr Before
Honr Drtve.
A series of striking physical tests has
recently been completed In England In
connection with the automobile races.
When Mr. S. F. Edge drove a car contin
uously for twenty-four hours at high
speed he "wss the subject ef-verjr careful
observation by Dr. L. P. Gibson. Mr.
Edge was examined before and Immedi
ately after the raco and his sensations
when drivinr were carefully noted. Ob
servations were made of his temperature,
pulse and general nervous snd physical
condition. Specimens of his blood were
also examined before and after the race.
The results are given in the British Medl
cal Journal as follows:
v "Before the race Mr. Edge for some time
took all opportunities of long motor drives
about the country and then one week's ab
solute rest from business and from any
lengthy drives Just before the race, to
avoid stateness. He took no kind of spe
cial training diet, only living very simply
taking plenty of fruit, cocoa, fish, vegeta
bles, a moderate amount of meat, and no
tea. During the race he had fruit (oranges,
grapes, strawberries, and bananas), with
occasional drinks of cocoa snd beef tea
(very little), some chocolate, and beef
lczenges; he also took one grain extract
coca, made up with chewing gum, every
hour. He ate no so-called solid food at
all.
"During the short stops In the race the
chief cause of discomfort and exhaustion
was bruising snd backache from a light
not very comfortable seat, fitted to I
chsssis from which a heavy touring body
had been removed, the springs being too
curved for comfort at high speed over a
track worn In some places.
"After the race a few peas and bread
and a drink of water Were taken, and he
was In bed snd asleep within three hours
of the finish, slept well all night, and was
eating a good breakfast at I o'clock next
morning. The pulse, temperature and
respiration were normal, and he was none
the worse for the extraordinary and ex
hausting strain he had been through.
"His tempersture before starting was
98.4 degrees, pulse 74, of which figure 1
Is a sphygmographlc tracing. At the end
of the rare his tempersture wss 100 de
grees, and his pulse, of which figure i Is
a sphygmogrsphlc tracing, 70. I take It
that the slowing was due to exhaustion?
that the blood pressure was lowv-due to
vagus control, snd thst the residual blood
In the left ventricle was Increased In
amount. This condition of wesk pulse may
be accentuated by the fart of the blood
being 'soaked up, as It were, by the lungs.'
owing to the long continued rapid move
ment through the air.
"Before the ride a specimen of blood
was taken and examined for the tuberculo
opsonlc Index (Index of restive power to
tubercular Infection), which was found to
be Another specimen taken directly
after the race gave l'.l". That the power
of resistance to the tubercle bacillus should
be raised after the long Journey is very
noteworthy, and helps to strengthen the
opinion held by many of us that motoring
Is an effective treatment In some cases of
tuberculosis, snd that the gloomy prophe
cies of some anent the had effects of great
speed on the system are Incorrect."

Richard Mansfield's biography has been
prepared carefully by his friend and secre
tary for many years, Paul WrIlstsch, him
self an expert writer. Parts of It will be
published In Scrlbner's Magazine, begin
ning in the September number with an ac
count of his apprenticeship. There were
days in London when he suffered great
hardships and those who have seen Prince
Karl will remember the scene where he
faints from hunger while doing his musical
Imitations. This Is founded on a real in
cident in Mansfield's career In London.
The Red Book Magazine heretofore de
voted almost exclusively to fiction and well
presented portrait studies of handsome
women, offers in its September Issue sev

There never has been and never will be a particle of coffee
in Postum, unless put there after leaving the factory!
The strongest proof of the above is an analysis by a real
chemist and a visit to the factory where "the door is unbolted'1
and all may see, as thousands do, how we make Postum, and
what we make it of CLEAN, HARD WHEAT and a small
amount of molasses, But we include the outside coat of the
wheat, which contains the Phosphate of Potash the natural
food for brain and nerves grown in the wheat?
This, and the special roasting and blending process we
invented, combine to make the "Postum Flavour" quite like
coffee but, by careful tasting the real Postum flavour appears
distinct. Every Real Chemist knows it. Experience proves
"There's a Reason" for Postum.

The September Century's leading article
Is the first popular account given to the
public of the Wright brothers aeroplane,
written by themselves and liberally Illus
trated with pictures from photographs
supplied by the authors. Of far-reaching
interest and importance is the discussion
of "The Future Wheat Supply of the
United States," by Edward C. Parker of
the University of Minnesota Agricultural
Experiment station. He points out the
many means which may be utilized to meet
the future demands for wheat, prophesying
that agriculture, still only In Its Infancy,
Is bound sooner or later to have a rspld
and widespread development and that the
limit of its possibilities will be extended
by each succeeding generation. Two nota
ble biographical articles are William H.
Crook's reminiscences of "Andrew John
son In the White House" (written by Mar
garita Spalding Gerry) and "The Early
Life of Robert Fulton," by Alice Crary
Butollffe, great-granddaughter of the in
ventor. "The Reminiscences of Lady Ran
dolph Churchill" are an absorbingly inter
esting feature of the Century Magazine.
"Motoring Abroad." by Frank Presbrey,
Is an account of a two months' automobile
trip through Franco and Great Britain
taken recently by the author. It Is written
in clear-cut, convincing style, by an auto
mobillst for automobillsts, and tells how
the greatest amount of pleasure may be
derived from iuch a trip as that described.
The author docs not believe In racing

simply speeding from town to town, view
