V Cbe presidents Gaater Guests (faster ITE president of the Unite«! States fittingly enough has [-er- haps the largest and certainly the most attractive back yard of any resident of this republic. Ordi narily this back yard at the White House is about as quiet and deserted a place as one could imagine. It Is only at rare intervals that any member of tbe presidential household (for whose use it is reserved) is seen walking about the park like expanse. and it isn't often that thia at retch of lawn is made to serve as a playground - that function of so many less conspicuous "back yards'* up and down the land. However, there is one day at tbts smiling season of the year when tbe president's big back yard is anything but deserted. It is on a Monday, too— Easter Monday, to be exact. Now, you know Monday is "wash day," and in tbe ordinary household -it is tbe one C OH1LY dawned th« day In the far east On the shore the cool waves broke gently, fluttering foamy drops on the yellow sand Away from the water among the rocky stretches of green, lilies Moomed slender aiul tall, white with cups curv ing to catch tlie errant little breeso which carried their sweetneaa beyoud the hills. In the atony crevices wild flowers glinted out from dew wet leaves. Half hidden by pale Uly blooms, a dark stone guarded tlie entrance to a cave among the rocks. Early In the dawning Nabbath glow, two women, geutle voiced and sorrow ing, came slowly down the flowered path, liearlug in their arms perfumed napkins and precious apices In carved bane«. They were clad in flowing gray garments, and tbelr heads were bent in R flow «« or rtarrv asd »«*'TT " «narro al An they drew near to the illy senti neled tomb, the one who walked ahead raised her eyes, dark with palu, to ths open doorway, and quick wonder light ed their depths, and she turned, whig (taring: "Ah I Mary Magdalene, tbs stone already la rolled away. He hath done thia thing " With eager steps they left the grow- Ing day and entered the darkened se(e Ulctier. But as they went they Haw two angels seated at the tomb, two men with strong, glorified faces and glad, bright eyes, and thetr robes were bright as if the sunlight were shining through. Tlie two Marys pnus<si, star tied. nw«l by the great light. Then the mother of Christ knelt low and wept, but a vol<*e thrilllngly teu der called to her saying, ''Woman, why wtsqiest thou?" And she lifted her eyes ut the words and answered softly, ’’llwiuw they have taken away my Ixird, and I know not where they have laid him " But the voice came again, glad ami full of rejoicing: "Fear not ye. for 1 know that ye seek Jesus, which wan crucified. He in not hen*, for he Is risen !’’ Wondering. the mother gaztsi, her starry eyes searching the brightened sepulcher. Then she rose and walked with Mary Magdalene from the (dace. Descending the path In the golden sunlight, her gray robes brushed against the uplifted flowers, dew flecked, wondrous sw eet. Stooping, she bent her head to the shining Hites. ‘‘Live." she murmured, "as expression of the divine beauty of tbs Hon of Man, ns examples of his wondrous mercy and Itoundlesa love ami as the symlMil of his resurrection. Hence forth you shall lie the flower of purity and spiritual beauty of the holy Easter day. of the great new life which floods the earth through the power of the Hon of God.”—Patricia Gray In Philadel phis North American. So Sensitive! An attorney was consulted by a wo man <l«*slrous of bringing action against her husband for n divorce. She related a harrow ing tale of the ill treatment she iiad received at his hands. So Impressive was her recital that the lawyer, for a moment, was startled out of his usual professional comiMMure. “From what you any this man must be a brute of the worst type!" he ex claimed. The applicant for divorce arose and with severe dignity announced: "Hlr, I shnll consult another lawyer. I came here to get advice ns to a di vorce, not to hear my husband abused!” —New York Times. Question With Two Sides. Bacon—If you want to live long keep active. Egbert—I don’t know about that. Tnke the toads, for Instance; they only live alaiut fifteen years, aud they are always on the Jump.—Yonkers Statesman. I DISEASE can be overcome by Chiropractic Adjustments DISEASE IS A LACK OK EXCESS OE FUNCTION in any part of the body. All func tion is controlled bv mental impulses from the brain.' Therefore the cause of disease must la) an interference with the line of communication be tween the brain and the diseased part. It necesaaiily follows that the only permanent way to do away with the disease is to remove the ob struction and thus restore free com munication. Chiropractors do this by adjusting the sub-luxation which is causing the obstruction, and ena ble “Nature” to restore normal con dition—Health. Chiropractic is a scientific method of removing the cause of disease (acute or chronic) and is based up on a correct knowledge of the brain, spine, spinal cord and nerves eme- nating therefrom. Edison’s Opinion : "The doctor of the iuture will give no medicine, but will interest his patients in the care of the human frame, in diet, and in the cause and prevention of disease.” Chiropractic removes the cause of disease. Try it. CALDER & ALLEN Chiropractors YOTT BUILDiNO Hngcls OD hath lent hie angcle To the earth again, Bringing joyful tiding! To the torn of men.

GULLKS The Lents Millinery day of the week when If the weather la nice mother needs the back yard and Johnny and 8uale and aU the rest are admonished that for the time being they must And some other place to play. Not so at the White House, however. As a matter of fact, the family wash at the executive mansion la hung to dry in a lattice screened In- closure that occupies only the smallest corner of the big back yard, but even at that the colored "mammies” In the presidential laundry could scarcely be Induced to do the washing on this par- ticular Monday, for Easter Monday has been from time out of mind the occa sion of the great annual egg rolling festival on the White House grounds and Is in consequence regarded as something of a holiday throughout the capital city. On the day following Easter the pres ident’s back yard not only assumes the normal and rightful function of all back yards as a playground for young people, but it does it in no half hearted fashion. It is the one occasion of the year when during an entire day these private grounds are open to the public, and the democratic invitation is uni versal. Any child is free to come and go at will, without any card of admis sion. and they do come in swarms that cover the greensward and have been variously estimated at from 10,000 to 30,000 tn different years — dependent somewhat upon the state of the weather. During the past few years an impor tant change has been made In the man agement of the president’s back yard on Easter Monday, with a view to re serving it for the children who are its tenants for seven or eight blissful hours. Before this change was made It was found that the crowds attracted by this annual spectacle were assuming such proportions that they were not only difficult to handle; but, worse yet, they seriously hampered the youngsters tn thetr egg rolling. In the old days everybody who came, young or old, was admitted to the egg rolling. But the odd antics of the little folks at their unique pastime proved a magnet for sightseers, who come not merely from Washington, but from towns far and wide. Particularly in the afternoon, when there Is a band concert on the lawn, did the crowds become so dense that it was impossible for the juvenile visitors to romp freely, much less roll eggs In the traditional fashion. Ac cordingly there was put Into force the new rule, which reserves the big yard primarily for children and stipulates that no adults shall be admitted unless accompanied by children. This allows the attendance of tho little tots who re quire the presence of mother or nurse to look after them. With reference to the above, learned in a dispatch from* Washington today that thia year's contest will be held on grounds around the Waahing ton monument on account of police rules making all unauthorized persons keep at a distance from the White Houae. It ia reassuring to know that the safety of the “man at the helm” is being so well considered
