The second safety measure is as
easy as the first. Take dose of
Nujol every night. Nuiol keeps the

physicians agree that. particularly
in times of epidemic, purging by laxa-

Many doctors are therefore prescrib-

RIDE IS RECOUNTED
Yesterday goth Anniversary
of 104-MiIe Horseback
Journey in One Day.

| Yesterday was the twentieth ami
verSary of the day President Roosevelt
made his famous 104-mile horseback
| ride in one day, which not only con-
! tributed to his fame as horseman and
an athlete, but caused more than one
Army officer, especially those acquiring
girthS, to groan.
President Roosevelt's purpose was to
I demonstrate that an order issued by
him requiring officers to ride 80 miles
day for three conservatives days or else
show cause why they should nA be re-
tired because of physical unf1tness, was
within reason. He had decided that
most of the Army officers about Wash
ington were becoming fat and soft and
he determined that they must indulge
in more exercise or else take off the
uniform.
AS might have been expected there
was CONSERVATION in local Army cir
cles especially among the officers with
double chinS and Stomachs During
the rumbling and grumbling that fol-
lowed Col. Roosevelt heard something
about the horseback ride he had pre-
scribed as part Of the physical test,
as being too severe, and it was because
OF this that he decided to find out the
truth. He was nearing the SO mark
himself, but he held no fears for his
ability to ride three times as far as he
mad prescribed for the Army officers.
ConsuIts With Grayson.
Late one night, about a week in adj
vance of the historic ride, he sent for
Admiral Cary Grayson, recently retired,
then an assistant naval surgeon with
the rank of lieutenant and one of the
White House aides, and asked him if he
thought a ride of 80 miles day for
three consecutive days was too great a
hardship on the officers. When young
GraySon replied in the negative the
to show that he personally could 90
through the test without difficulty.
But" Col. Roosevelt informed the
young naval aide, according to the lat
tars recollection of the episode today,
Il am going to do it in one day instead
Of three, and you are going with me-"
The President also asked Rear Ad-
niral P. M. Rixey, surgeon general of
the Navy, and his physician, who died
not long ago, and Capt. Archie Butt,
White House military aide, who went
down on the Titanic, to join the party.
When the eventful day arrived the
President and his companions had a
light breakfast at the White Honse at
8 o'clock in the morning, and in less
than an hour were riding out of the
White House grounds on their way to
Warrenton, Va, the place selected as
their objective. Fairfax Courthouse,
Bull Run and New Baltimore had been
arranged as relay points for the new
mounts, and without incident Warren
ton was reached at IL o'clock, just seven
hours after they had left the White
House.
Col. Roosevelt said upon alighting at
the Warren Green Hotel, where the
little party had luncheon, that he felt
great and despite the worries of his
Office and the trouble he was having
with Congress, he was having bully
time and was very happy.

What would be the sentence you

When this question was put by a

replied:

He was sentenced to death.

Considerable Stir Created.

The coming Of the President had not
been advertised in advance, but when
his presence became known there was
considerable of stir in the quiet old
Virginia town. Crowds gathered out
side the hotel and when the party re-
appeared to make ready for the return
journey to Washington, several of the
towns more distinguished citizens beg
ged the President to make speech. He
declined, but when he caught sight of
q hundred or so school children, who
had been excused from their classes to
catch a glimpse Of their President, he
remarked to Grayson, who was nearest
him, II was not going to speak, but I
will give little talk to those children
if it is the last thing do" He spoke
from the saddle and he was loudly
cheered as he concluded and with a
wave Of his broad brimmed hat he
galloped off.
The January day up to this time had
been ideal for such an outdoor under
taking, but 1t soon commenced to storm.
First it rained. This was followed by
Sleet and then snow. There was no
let-up throughout the homeward ride.
The going became rough and danger
Gus and the riders were experiencing
no end of discomfort. Admiral Gray
son, who had made the arrangements
for this expedition, had purposely kept
President Roosevelt's favorite mount,
Roswell for the final lap. When Fair
fax was reached the President mounted
this animal, but it was soon found
that Roswell performed better on the
bride paths in Rock Creek Park than
on the rough, icy roads of Virginia.
Moreover, a portion of the way was over
corduroy road and Roswell was at a
complete loss.
President Takes FAN.
He had difficulty keeping on his feet
and finally fell completely, the President
hitting the ground heavily. Night had
long since fallen and it was difficult to
see in the darkness. Grayson, who was
nearest, was soon to ground to assist
slipping to his feet and was unhurt
The remainder of the ride was full of
thrills. However, the little party ar
rived back at the White House tired
cold and hungry. It was o'clock and
they had performed the task the Presi-
dent desired.
The latter's mustache had hard
covering of ice upon 1t when he en-
tered the White House. His hat was
stiff with an ice covering, but he had
had an enjoyable time and had shown
the Army what could be done on horse
back In one day.
This eventful ride was made without
secret service attendant, and without
any orderlies.
Admiral Grayson, as the only one OF
those four horsemen living today, yes
terday recalled with great interest the
anniversary Among his treasures Is a
letter from Col Roosevelt written after
ward thanking him for the assistance
he had given to him that day.
