dressed. was washed ashore this even
ing at Santa Monica. Whether he com
mitted suicide, was murdered, or fell
into the sea from one of the piers. is
a matter that has not been determined.
All that was found OF the body were
cards giving his name and showing
he was member Of Nome aerie of the
Eagles and member Of the Arctic

The fact that no money or valuables
were found on his person leads to the
suspicion Of foul play. A railroad ticket

SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL

WASHINGTON. March 49,
Nothing less than naval demon
stration against Venezuela is re-
garded here as the probable re-
suit of the failure of President
Castro to give satisfaction to the
demands of this country arising
from the asphalt claims. The state
department is preparing the pa
pers called for BY Senator Lodges
resolution. asking for the corre-
spondence between this govern
ment and the Castro administers
ton
There is little doubt that Sec
retary Root prepared the Lodge
resolution When the correspondents
is sent TO the senate joint resolution
viii be passed that viii authorize the
president TO adopt such measures as
may be deemed necessary.
This means the administration is get
ting ready TO so to any necessary
lengths to force Castro to terms. Presi-
dent Roosevelt's patience is exhausted
and so is that of Secretary Root. II is
probable a special commissioner will be
sent TO Venezuela in short order. II
that expedient fails. then. without
much doubt the president will resort to
more forcible way of bringing Castro
10 his senses
1t is likely that this win mean not
alone a naval but military movement

quickley change all of these depressing
symtoms. The Restorative of course
won't bring you back to full health in

48 hours to satisfy you that the
remedy is reaching that tired
spot. Druggists everywhere are adj

vim and more spirit to the spoonful
than any other known nerve or. con-

Gus blossoms mingled with an album
dance of greenery and trailing vines
may be seen. Window boxes such as
an American never dreamed of are
perched four or five stories high on
tiny balconies or broad window ledges
The result is that the whole town
seems all abloom in the summer time
For some time past attempts have been
here in America An article in the
current number or HafperS Bazaf
calls attention to this fact.
I'm New York. so the writer states,
"the Municipal Art society is unremit-
ting in its efforts to have the boxes
placed on both public and private
dwellings, and the custom is growing,
though not as rapidly as it should.
"Our American Cities" the writer
goes on to say, "are not beautiful ar
chitecturally, but their effectiveness and
attraction would be greatly increased
Were this simple use of window boxes
made universal, for any traveller
knows that one Of the pervading
charms of foreign cities is the wealth
Of flowers seen everywhere, from the
stalls at the foot of the Spanish steps
to the countless rows Of boxes that
conceal much Of the CRIME and gray of
the London house fronts"
