SURE WAY TO
END RHEUMATISM
Ease Stiff, Sore Joints and Mus
cles. Make Pains and Back
ache Promptly Vanish.
It is needless to suffer any longer
with rheumatism, and be all crippled
up, and bent out of shape with its
heart-wrenching pains, when you can
surely avoid it.
Rheumatism comes from weak, in
active kidneys, that fail to filter from
the blood the poisonous waste matter
and uric acid; and it is useless to rub
on liniments or take ordinary reme
dies to relieve the pain. This only
prolongs the misery and can't possibly
cure you.
The only way to cure rheumatism is
to remove the ,cause. The new dis
covery, Croxone, does this because It
neutralizes and dissolves all the poi
sonous substances and uric acid that
lodge in the joints and muscles, to
scfatch and irritate and cause rheu
matism, and cleans out and strength
ens the stopped -up, inactive kidneys,
so they can filter all the poisons from
•the blood and drive it on and out of
the system.
Croxone is the most wonderful med
icine ever made for curing chronic
rheumatism, kidney troubles, and
bladder disorders. You will lind it dif
/erent from all other remedies. There
is nothing else 011 earth like it. It
matters not how old you are, or how
long you have suffered, it is practically
impossible to take it into the human
system without results. You will find
relief from the first few doses, and
you will be surprised how quickly all
your misery and suffering will end.
An original package of Croxone
costs but a trifle at any first-class drug
store. All druggists are authorized to
Bell it on a positive money-back guar
antee. Three doses a day for a few
days Is often all that is ever needed
to cure the worst backache or over
come urinary disorders. Advertise
ment.

me to take Eckman's Alterative. I
kept on taking the medicine and Im

ceed to Tampico. Orders were also
issued to the Tacoma, now at Boston,
to procede to Tampico. The torpedo
fleet now at Pensacola was notified to
stand by for orders to proced eto Tam
pico." »
| Noval oncers eagerly transmitted
the orders to the fleet and there was x
scene of activity and anticipation. The
feeling that the Washington govern
ment had determined, to show the
Huerta government its fixed determi
nation to insist on an apology and
public salute pervaded official cir
cles. *
It was learned authoritatively that
j while further investigation of the
I Tampico Incident was being made,
' there was a general feeling that the
1 demand of Rear Admiral Mayo should
|be backed up. In the meantime, how
| ever, it was determined that negotia
• tions with the Huerta government,
.through Charge 'Shaughnessy, should
proceed in order to represent to Gen
eral Huerta the insistence of the
United States.
(setting in Keadiness
Members of the Cabinet were hope
ful that no further step would be re
quired to secure compliance with the
American demand, but they privately
: admitted that the Washington govern
| ment was getting ready to enforce its
demand should it meet with resist
ance.
i The mobilization of the fleet under
I such circumstances as occurred to
day, immediately raised, in official cir
cles, the question of whether the pos
jsible landing of marines at Tampico in
1 satisfaction for the arrest of the ma
rines last Thursday, would be an act
I of war.
It has been repeatedly pointed out
| that the landing of any armed forces
I without the permission of the govern
ment in control of the territory was
regarded here as an act of war and
military intervention. It was point
ed out to-day, however, by those fa
miliar with precedent, that should Uie
Huerta commander fail to resist any
aggressive steps by the American na
val officers and retire, no further seri
ous consequences might result, as the
United States might feel disposed not
to press the affair any further.
Inasmuch as the United States has
recognized no government in Mexico,
[ but regards the Southern republic as in
| a state of anarchy, it has long been
realized here that unusual steps might
be taken without using extensively ag
gressive measures.
John Lind, the President's personal
representative in Mexico, who now
is in Washington, is known to have
held, for some time, the view that a
more drastic policy should be pursued
by the United States in dealing wrth
Huerta. He is understood to have
told the President and Secretary Bryan
that Huerta would delay and evade the
issue Just so long as the United States
seemed disinclined to use force.
New Two-speed Yales
Are Powerful Machines
Bather striking testimony of the
wonderful power possibilities of the
new type of motorcycle comes from
Madison Wis. A motorcycte party of
four wont from Madison to Middle
town, eight miles away, for supper.
Scarcely had the return trip begun
when one of the machines, to which
a side-car was attached, went "dead."
The other machine was one of thfc
new two-speed Yales, and though It
was already carrving tandem, the
'cripple" and its side-car were hitched ;
on nrd the party of four swept gaily !
through the sand and over the hill's
buck to Madison.
It required "some" power to make
such a feat possible; and It is doubtful
If any motorcycle excent a two-speed
cou'd have accomplished It.
The two-speed gives the rider prac
tlcHlly the same choice of speeds
and the same range of power that the
driver of the motor car has at his com
mend, which explains the great pop
ularity of this new t vpe of motor-1
cycle.

SOME WONDERS OF NATURE
By Garrett P. Servlss.
Now that man has learned to fly. he
takes a new interest In other flying
animals, the number of which turns
out to be surprisingly large when one's
attention is called to them. The birds
are simply the most advanced type of
fliers, for the power of flight is by no
means confined to the avian family.
The bird Is believed to be a de
scendant of reptiles or dragons, which
acquired wings and learned to flv
ages ago. Some of the family of rep
tiles still retain the ability to flv, and
since they represent the ancestral line
of the birds it Is natural to begin with
them In looking over the list of flying
animals now In existence.
The chlamydosaurus of Australia, a
kind of lizard, has a huge Eliza
bethan ruff about the neck which
serves as a parachute, enabling the
animal to jump out Into the air from
a height and descend safely to tiie
ground. When not In use the ruff is
folded alo»' the foreshoulders Ac
cording to .e authors, the huge ruff
of the cllt dosaurus Is also Intended,
or at least ,sed, as a means of frelght
ening off enemies, and its aspect seems
well calculated for that purpose.
The Flying Dragon
The flying dragon has a kind of I
wings, covered with horny scales. I
which It folds along its body when it |
is not launching Itself in a flying jump. :
The flying frog has its wings at
tached to its feet In the form of
broad, thin membranes stretched be
tween the toes.
Of course, none of these reptiles
Is a true flier, and vet they do
; manage with the aid of their slng
. ular locomotive organs to pass con-
I slderable distances through the air.
I Their achievements in aerial navigation
are about comparable with those of
i the earliest experimenters with aero
planes.
The struggle for existence which
leads animals of many soecies to
i prey upon one another probably led
to the development of a certain power
of flight In several species of fish.
Furnished with wings, email fish are
able to lean from the water when pur
sued, and launch themselves for long
| distances through the air. Every sea
voyager has' seen flying flsli sklnimlng
above the waves, and occasionally land
ing on the deck of a ship.
Flying Squirrels
Arboreal, or tree-dwelling, animals
might naturaly be expected to de
velop the power of flight, as a con
siderable number have done. Many of
these are nopularly known as flying
snuirrels. Their organs of flight "con
sist of extensions of the furry skin
at the sides of' the body, which can
be stretched out like a pair of
mantles by extending t'he front nnd
hind legs. The animal then launches
itself from a tree and glides like an
aeroplane to the branches of a neigh
boring tree.
Until the experiments of the Wright
brothers led to the development of
mechanical flight by means of aero
planes some of the storleß of flights
performed by flying soulrrels were
looked upon with much doubt by
many persons, but now that we know
by our own experience what can be
done by means of a plane moving
edgewise through the air, It is easier
to understand what the flving squir
rels have accomplished. But it will
always be a subject for wonder bow
nature could have developed such pow
ers. and the organs needed for their
use, simply upon file principles of evo
lution.

MRS. INEZ SPRAtJUE STINESS
Newport, It. 1., April 14.—Members of the winter society colony here
expressed surprise at the announcement that Mrs. Inez Sprague Stiness, tho
I bueaiful and vivacious granddaughter of William Spraßue, War Governor
of Khodo Island, the heroine of several romances, is engaged to marry Baron
d'Orsa.v, a tall and handsome man, who had plenty of money and belongs
to good clubs. It is known her grand father objects to the marriage be
cause the ex-Governor wanted the nexl husband of his granddaughter to bo
an American. The Baron's relatives frown on it because Mrs. Stiness has not
more money than her fiance. A few years ago on the eve of the day set
for her wedding to Harold Wipenny, a young Philadelphlan, Mrs. Stiness.
then 19, eloped with Henry M. Stiness, son of a former Chief Justice of
Rhode Island, one of her grandfather's political enemies. The marriage
proved unhappy and within threo years the young wife ran away to Paris
from her home in Providence, a divorce following. A report of her en
gagement to Marquis de Vllle-neuve Tortonne. who is well known in Amer
ican society, had been given considerable credence on this side of tho At
lantic.
