Ex-Czar's Death
Often Reported
And hen Denied

There have been many rumors since
June "a that former Emperor Nicholas
had been assassinated. Tho first of
these stated that he had been killed
at Ekaterinburg by Red Guards. This
report was denied later, but this denial
was closely followed by Geneva dis
patch saying that Nicholas had been
executed by the Bolsheviki after trial
at Ekaterinburg. This report seemed
TO be confirmed by advices t. Washing
ton from Stockholm.
The next report was what purported
to be an intercepted wireless message
from NJ. Tchitcherin, the Bolshevik
Foreign Minister, in which it was
stated that Nicholas was dead. Still
another report was to The effect that
he had been bayoneted by a guard
while being taken from Ekaterinburg
to Perm. To all these reports there
was no direct confirmation.

Like the Bolsheviki movement in
Russia, the revolutionary party of
France was long in coming to the posi-
ton of power needed to accomplish the
downfall of the recognized rulers of
the country. Its early efforts proved
quite as abortive as did those of the
revolutionary elements of Russia.
Eventually there was a convention

TRACED TO PAGAN CEREMONY
Christian Anniversary Of Easter and
Worship of Goddess of Spring
Have Been Mingled.

1t was through the efforts of the
priests and teachers of the early
Christian church that the Easter sea-
son was shorn of its pagan ceremonies
and converted into a Christian ami
versary. These priests, finding it I'M
possible to induce the German and
Saxon tribes among whom they Ia
bored to renounce their worship of the
Goddess of Spring-variously known
as Ostera, Eostre and Eastre-skll-
fully managed to give the ceremonies
another turn, proclaiming that the sea-
son celebrated the rising of Christ from
the dead Gradually, as the new re-
ligion gained ground, the old heather
superstitions died out. The goddess
Eastre was no longer revered, but her
name was retained to designate what
had now become the festival of the
Resurrection. For the first three cen
turtles of the Christian era Easter was
celebrated on the same day as the
Jewish Passover. but after much dis

I'm THE SPRING

will be the great test of life and death
struggle on the Western front. In the
everyday walks Of life, it is the spring
time that brings i'll health One Of the
chief reasons why the rundown man
finds himself in bad state of health in
March or April, is because he has spent
nearly all his hours for the past four or
five months penned up within the walls
OF house, factory or office. 1t is the rea-
son for our diminished resistance-that
IS, lack of outdoor life, coupled with
perhaps over-eating, lack of good os;er-
else, insufficient sleep, and constipation.
In other words, we keep feeding the
furnace with food but do not take out
the "clinkers,' and our fire does not burn
brightly. Always keep the liver active.
There is nothing better for health than
taking an occasional mild laxative, per-
haps once week; such one as you
can get at any drug store, made up of
May-apple, jalap, aloes, (sugar-coated,

For those who loved the lily,
For those who loved the rose,
We breathe today from altar

WATCH FOR DAWN OF EASTER
Thousands Gather on Mountain OF
Southern California to Take Part
in Religious Ceremony.

In one of the lovellest spots in south
ern California, rising above the green
orange and lemon groves of the val
ley, stands a bare and rugged noun
tain peak. Growing its highest point
is q great wooden cross. Nearby on
huge powders are swung two iron bells,
and set in another high bowlder is
bronze tablet recording that this noun
tain top is dedicated to Fra Junipero
Serra sturdy old Spanish priest who,
many years before California came into
the Union, many years before the revo-
luton which created the Union, strobe
back and forth across the desert Chris
tianizing and civilizing the Indians.
The annals of southern California are
rich in stories of Fra Junipero Sierra.
Bret Harte, Joaquin Miller and many
another poet have sung of him.
But nowhere does his actual spirit
seem to dwell as on this lonely noun
tain. For every year, at the dawn OF
Easter, people of the valley and of the
entire state climb the mountain and
take part In religious ceremony
which cannot be duplicated in the
world.
All night before the event the roads
are filled with piIgrims-in motorcars,
in carriages and wagons and on foot.
