John AinSwOrth'S
Easter Flower
BY THORNTON w. BURGESS

John Ainsworth flung himself down
and confessed being tired. He had
tramped all of Is miles over sharply
pitched hills, through the close clutch
ing tangle of scrub oak thickets, un-
der whispering pines, across brush
grown old pastures n around the
DOGGY shores Of secluded peaceful
little woodland ponds.
Now he was back to bis %favorite re-
treat on Telegraph hill. 1t was a little
open spot on the very brow Of the
hill. Back and On two sides an oak
forest stood guard, and below was a
dense thicket of saplings, too young

now greening pastures and lower
meadows he could see the spires of
the village thrust through the great
~overhanging elms which hid the
houses. Beyond, the level brown
marshes stretched away to the irregu-
lar line of sand dunes, the outer line
ters of the bay.
Beyong these in turn the horizon be-
came a quiet, hazy blending Of the
deep, almost purple blue Of the water
with the soft light blue Of the April
sky. The sun glinted from the white.
f9aming curl of a wave and the dis
lance made dazzling white the dingy
sail of a mackerel fisher.
To John AinsWorth, the scene was
10 familiar that he was wont to call
It his Gown" Yet to-day, as he looked

While no woman is entirely free from
periodical suffering, it does not seem to,
be the plan Of nature that women
should s~uffer>so severely. Menstrual

A Wonderful Discovery.

BroadIand, S. Oak, March 2s.-Quite e
sensation has been created here by the
publication of the story of G. W. Gray,
who after a special treatment for three
months was PROSTATE and helpless and
given up to die with Bright's Disease.
Bright's Disease has always been consid-
cred incurable, but evidently from the
story told by Mr.. Gray, there is a remedy
which will cure it even in the most ad-
vanced stages. This is what he says:
Il was helpless as a little babe. My
wife and l searched everything and read
everything we could find about Bright's
Disease, hoping that 1 would be able to
find a remedy. After many failures my
wife insisted that l should try Dodd's
Kidney Pills. I praise God for the day
when 1 decided to do so, for this remedy
met every phase of my case and in a
short time | was able to get out of bed,
and after a few weeks treatment 1 was
a strong, well man. Dodd's Kidney Pills
saved my life"
A remedy that will cure Bright's Dis
ease will cure any lesser Kidney Disease:
most wonderful discovery which modern
medical research has given to the world.

 than that of Caesars Tenth Legion has in
 twenty centuries. It was the cowby ele-
 ment in it that was most conspicuous in
 the public mind.
 Through this fighting legion Roosevelt
 took at the tide the flood that led on to fortune. The invention of the Rough Rid CTS was Roosevelt's, and not Woods or anybody elses Roosevelt made Wood colonel and himself lieutenant colonel He put Wood ahead because Wood had some little military experience as a surgeon in the army. Even while Wood, in the early stages of it's career in Cuba, was its colo nel and just before Roosevelt went to that post, it was known as Roosevelts
 Rough Riders,
 By this association Roosevelt birth place, lineage, early residence, and aristo- cratic connections were bottled out of the popular recollection, and he became a naturalized westerner. For this corps he created opportunity which it could not have got under any other leader. He kept it fin the public eye from it's mastering in at San Antonio to it's mastering out at Montauk Point. To the delight of it's members and it's trans Mississippi spon- sor, he put 1t at the front at the outset and he kept it there so long as there was any front to get to. Where the fighting was brlskest there were Roosevelts men, There. too, were two or three regiments of regulars, who also did gallant things. but these were only Uncle Sam's profess sional fighters, and they had no herald to trumpet their deeds throughout the world. Roosevelt always says of himself and his corps when he greets the men who fol- ! lowed Grant or Lee: Ours was only a little war, and there was not much glory to gain in it." Roosevelt himself got the only glory which could be utilized for political purposes. San Juan Hill became for him New Orleans, a Tippecanoe a

AWAY WITH PoGsNoeeLEsl
Aims of a Preventive Society That
 Starts With Clean Slate.

From the Washington Post.
 'The Society for the Prevention of Pog-' snoggles," said the president of that or ganizaton, "has one great advantage over nIl the rest of these preventive societies.
 "Take the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children, or the Society for the Prevention of Vice, for example. Cruelty 10 animals extends back at least as far as the time of Balaams ass, cruelty to children dates back to Cain while vice is almost as old as man kind itself.
 Therefore the societies for the preven- ton of these things were seVefly hahdl- capped at the time of their inception by the existence of the very things that they were formed to prevent. How could they be expected to prevent things that already existed?
 "4,ow, with the pogsnoggles it is differ ent We started with a clean slate. There never were any such things as pogsnog- Eles and if we can help 1t there never will be That's what we're here for-to pre- vent 'em. If any such things ever occur we'll cheerfully take the full blame.
 "rhe Society for tho Prevention of Pog- snoggles has scarcely been organized two weeks, and yet compare our work in that time with the work of our sister societies. Look at all the cruelty to animals and children and the vice that daily escapes prevention. But you haven't seen or heard of any well authenticated pogsnoS- gles since our formation, have you? No' srreel We've prevented every blessed one of them so far.
 "What do pogsnoggles look like? We'll, it's hard to say.
 "One of our most earnest workers thought he saw some while he was i'll in Bellevue recently As he remembers them they were all different shapes and sizes and some of them were sort of pinkish.
 What makes him feel that they may have been pogsnoggles is that when he reached out to catch them he louha that they didn't really exist But, or coufse' that isn't absolute proof.

RoosEveLT's MASTER STROKE.
Rough Riders Great Move of Patriot

From the Metropolitan Magazine
 The invention of the Rough Riders was a stroke of genius. It was unique corps. In the expanse which it's personnel cov- cred and the variety and the diversity which 1t typifed, nothing like 1t had ever been seen before in American military organization Roosevelt gathered around him cowboys, college football players western sheriffs ex-soldiers, yaehtsmeh' hunters, polo players explorers, plains men, and athletes in every field East' west, south. north, Jews and Gentiies' red and white, aristocrats are pleDe- ians, wealth and poverty land under the sun was represented At the round table of democracy, Roosevelts camphres, all were on the same level. Each man was ready to do, not by what some ancestor had done for him.
 Although every locality and many coun- tries contributed to the Rough Riders, they were recruited in the west, with San Antonio for rallying point The dominant ingredient in them was furnish ed by the west It gave them their dis tinctive character as fighting body.

snoggles we can pretty safely conclude that whatever isn't in any of the pictures must be one or more pogsnoggles. But such a process would necessarily be long and tedious.
 "One thing regarding the habits of the pogsnoggles that is definitely known Is that they live in holes in the ground. |, myself discovered that much in the course of Sunday outing in Maryland
 While wandering over field my eye chanced upon hole In the ground. l poked around In it with my cane and found that there was nothing in 1t. There fore, as there is no such thing as pog- snoggle, it must have been a pogsnoggle that was in the hole.

PRIEST AND PRESIDENT.
Career of Daredevil Priest Now Pres'
 Ident of Santo Domingo.

A timely article Is "Our Mix-up In santo Domingo" by Eugene P. Lyle, Jr.' in the Worlds Work. MT. Lyle gives this description of President Morales
 One chance of salvation seems to be personified in the president, Carlos MO rales. He knew that his country was not really bankrupt. It needed only admin istration. He asked the United States to be his countrys receiver This was its cure It made him hated even more than he was hated already. But 1t also preserved him in office. And he IS Santo Domingo's one present hope.
 ..He is not one of your Irresponsible, promise-making Spanish-Americans, said one man to me. You can talk to hlm straight and he is as direct With you. And you can depend on his doing what he says he will do. I believe that he is honestly trying to pull his country out of the hole"
 This may be set down as a composite opinion from most Americans who have spent only a few months In Santo Do- mingo. A business man marveled at his keen insight and his quickness to de- tect flaw in a tangled proposition. Ac- cording to the standa--S of the West In dies, his integrity ranks high.

Germ Diseases

In the past few years scores of dis eases have been traced to germ attacks. These include most of our minor Ills, and most of our serious sickness
 A few years ago, all these diseases were attributed to other causes. The remedies made for them were based on theories which have since been abandoned. Is It any wonder that those old-time remedies so often prove ineffective?
 Germ diseases call for Liquozone. In any such disease-no matter how difn- cult--we send to each user a guarantee, permitting two months treatment at our financial risk. If the results are unsatis- factory, the patients own druggist re- turns every penny paid. We do this so that none who need this help may find reason to go without It.
 We have sent out many thousands Of these guarantees, yet less than five in each thousand have been returned for redemption. Can you not see that a remedy so wonderfully effective in gen. eral Is likely to be effective with you?

Kills Disease Germs

The main value of Liquozone lies in the fact that it is deadly to germs, yet harmless to living tissues.
 That is not true of common germicides. They are poisons when taken internally. That is why medicine has proved so help less in dealing with germ diseases. The usual germ killing drugs cannot be taken in effective doses internally.
 I.iquozone is harmless. That fact has been repeatedly proved by scientific tests Not only harmless; it is good for you. It's effects are exhilerating, vitalizing and purifying. It's benefit is often apparent from the very first dose. Yet contact with Liquozone destroys every form of dis ease germ that has yet been discovered

Hiquozone is a tonic-germicide, the vir- 4ures of which are derived from gas alone. The formula is sent to each suser.
 The process of making requires large apparatus, and from to II days time It is directed by chemists of. the highest class. The object is to so fix and com pine the gases as to carry their virtues into the system.
 The gases employed are vitalizing, and the product which results is tonic. The gases are germicidal, and the prod net they createf is harmless germi. eide.
